Mad Men Season 6 TV Poster

AMC’s Mad Men makes its highly anticipated season premiere NEXT Sunday! While I don’t love this Mad Men one sheet television poster as much as much as last year’s advertising campaign, it definitely brings up some interesting questions as to the show’s direction this year. Who is the Don Draper (Jon Hamm) we meet at the beginning of this season and where is life taking him?

Mad Men Season 6 premieres on AMC Sunday, April 7th, at 9/8 with a very special 2 hour episode and airs Sunday nights thereafter.

The Wolverine Logan Pop! Marvel Vinyl Figure by Funko

Of all the comic book movies coming out this summer the one The Blot is looking forward to the most is The Wolverine! That wasn’t true until about a week ago when FOX started releasing all of these amazing trailers and posters for their newest X-Men film. Before that it was Iron Man 3, with Man of Steel in the lead for a brief hot minute. I’m sure all three films will be great, but The Wolverine just looks to have so much more potential! Released in conjunction with the film is this awesome Logan Pop! Marvel vinyl figure by Funko. Who needs a costume when you’ve got claws like Wolverine!?!

The Wolverine Logan Pop! Marvel vinyl figure bobble head by Funko stands 3.75” tall, features one point of articulation, and comes packaged in a full color displayable window box. Expect these to retail for around $9.99 when they hit store shelves later this summer.

Later today Dark Hall Mansion will be kicking off their all new Seminal Film Screen Print Series with these two beautiful Metropolis prints by Laurent Durieux based on the legendary 1927 silent film. Be it Superman creators Siegel and Shuster's naming their hero's city after it or the similarity of George Lucas' C-3PO and the iconic Metropolis robot, the impact of Metropolis will be felt for generations to come. This print has been in the works since DHM first teamed up with Laurent’s first American release all the way back in February 2012! As you can see that time was well worth it as these two movie posters are seriously top notch.

The Smurfs x Scott Tolleson Mixed Parts Deadbeets

As you all know The Blot loves pop culture inspired colorways, so when Scott Tolleson announced he was releasing not one but two The Smurfs inspired Deadbeets I got pretty freaking excited. The Shmurfy Beet (blue body with white hat) and the Undead Shmurfy Beet (white body with blue hat) are unpainted mixed parts 7.5” vinyl figures cast in Japanese soft vinyl. What's great about this release is they really look like Smurfs without needing any paint at all.  And the headercards Scott designed for this release (inspired by The Smurfs' creator Peyo) look so spot on it's ridiculous.  All in all a classic release The Blot's gotta snag!

Sold only as a Smurfy set, these Deadbeets have a limited edition run size of just 20 pieces and will retail for $130 per set. Catch these Smurftastic Deadbeets if you can when they drop at 10am PST this Friday, March 29th, at Scott Tolleson’s online store.

WonderCon 13 Exclusive Yellow Baby Deadbeet by Scott Tolleson

The Blot knows so little about this WonderCon 2013 exclusive it’s sad, but I know I have to get my hands on this 1.5” Yellow Baby Deadbeet PVC mini figure by Scott Tolleson. Is it me or is WonderCon having some seriously awesome exclusives this year!?! It’s getting to the point where it’s not even worth the crowds and expenses of going to SDCC anymore.

“Canus Dirus” Game of Thrones Screen Print by Aaron Horkey

Mondo continues its weekly release of new Game of Thrones prints today with this insane 11 color print by Aaron Horkey entitled “Canus Dirus.” Horkey is a screen print master, and this beautiful print of a ferocious direwolf is pretty freaking epic (and huge)! The Blot’s got a sinking suspicion this Mondo print is going to sell out even faster than usual. If you’re only going to pick up one GoT print, this is definitely it! The Mondo crew and Horkey really went all out with this one.

“Canus Dirus” by Aaron Horkey is a 39”x22” hand signed and numbered screen print with metallic inks, and has a limited edition run size of 490 pieces. This print goes on sale at a random time today, Thursday, March 28th, at the Mondo online store for $85.

New The Wolverine in 3D Teaser Character Movie Posters

Over the past two weeks FOX has really revved up their marketing of this summer’s X-Men spin-off The Wolverine by releasing three different movie posters and a teaser trailer! First up are these two awesome The Wolverine in 3D teaser one sheet movie posters. The Blot’s not all that thrilled to hear the film will be released in 3D, but I love this image of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine with a katana sword in one hand and his claws extended on the other. These posters actually give me hope that The Wolverine is going to be a kick ass flick! At least this time FOX is basing the film on one of Marvel’s all time great storylines, Wolverine’s original journey to Japan.

The Wolverine slashes into theaters on July 26, 2013.

I don’t even collect Pocket Mummy Boys but I NEED this figure. This weekend at WonderCon 2013 Super7’s mascot Mummy Boy makes its debut in squishy-soft translucent vinyl in order to replicate the look and feel of a giant piece of gummi cola candy!

This new blind box series is a tribute to today's lowbrow artists who are pillaging icons from our childhood to sell art.

“Autobot Invitational” Transformers Screen Prints by Tom Whalen

Start your engines! Acidfree Gallery, Hasbro and Tom Whalen have teamed up once again to bring us an amazing new Transformers poster in their Hasbro Screen Print Series entitled “Autobot Invitational.” The Blot loves the retro feel of this faux vintage auto racing print featuring a selection of the Autobot’s most popular racers like Jazz, Wheeljack and Mirage. I honestly feel like these Transformers prints by Whalen has been some of his best work and “Autobot Invitational’ might be my favorite! I love that some of the second tier Autobots are brought to the forefront in this poster, and the inclusion of Mount St. Hilary (the location where the Autobot’s Ark crashed in Generation 1 continuity) as the location of the race was pure genius!

“Autobot Invitational” by Tom Whalen is an 18”x24” 5 color Transformers screen print.

“The Battle” Game of Thrones Screen Print by Phantom City Creative

Mondo has been releasing two new Game of Thrones screen prints every week as a build up to the show’s Season 3 premiere on HBO on Sunday, March 31st. So far The Blot’s been extremely disappointed in this series, but I do love Phantom City Creative’s Game of Thrones print “The Battle.” This awesome print pits the Game of Thrones house sigils against one another in a crown design with the GoT logo at the bottom. What more could you ask for?

“The Battle” by Phantom City Creative is an 18”x24” Game of Thrones hand numbered screen print, which is scheduled to go on sale at a random time today, Thursday, March 21st, at the Mondo online store.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation 3D Character Movie Posters

A live action G.I. Joe movie starring The Rock as Roadblock should be a slam dunk for one of the biggest movies of the summer! Instead, G.I. Joe: Retaliation opens in two weeks to end the month of March. Not sure even the inflated price of 3D tickets can help this one. Has anyone heard anything good about the film yet? The Blot keeps waiting for a legit review, but I still haven’t seen any. And with the film premiering in just two weeks that means this film’s probably still a dud. But The Rock and Snake Eyes battling ninjas is still a recipe for success to me!

These two new G.I. Joe: Retaliation 3D character movie posters just recycle old still shots of Dwayne Johnson as Roadblock and Ray Park as Snake Eyes with new, high tech backgrounds. Honestly though, these are way better than the original set of character movie posters set in the desert. So I’ll give Paramount that!

G.I. Joe: Retaliation (aka G.I. Joe 2) invades theaters on March 29, 2013.

B6400 ED-IT DJ Resin Figures by Tesselate

Tesselate’s newest ED-IT DJ dropped yesterday and it’s pretty freaking sweet! I don’t know what it is about these resin robots, but they always look so awesome. I think it’s got something to do with the resin DJ stand…that definitely helps to boost the figure’s “cool” factor. B6400 is the ED-IT DJ's trusty friend. Once confined to audio management of human concerts and internet broadcasts, these bots joined the ED-IT team and have put their skills to good use. From the initial concept of a new show, through to the final beat produced, B6400 are always watching and tweaking via their expansive plethora of equipment.

Limited to just 2 pieces, the B6400 ED-IT DJ resin figure stands 6” tall and is currently on sale at the Tesselate online store for £70.

Kidrobot Black DigesTED by Alex Pardee

Sadly, it’s been kind of rare that The Blot gets really excited about a Kidrobot Black figure. But every once in a while they release something truly awesome…like Alex Pardee’s DigesTED vinyl figure! This incredibly detailed figure has a limited edition run size of just 250 nightmarish pieces, comes hand numbered and includes Alex’ signature engraved on the bottom. Exclusive to black.kidrobot.com and select retailers worldwide, DigesTED will retail for $200 each and is scheduled to hit store shelves on March 28th.

Something evil lives inside a trusted old friend. Slick gloss looks alien against innocent molded fuzz. Red orbs glow in contrast to dull white eyes. Sinewy arms finished in fists clenched. Patches and scars, once signs of years of love, are evidence of previous horror. Deep inside, a child is trapped. There is no escape.

Marvel’s The Avengers “Coulson is my Homeboy” T-Shirt by Blair Campbell

It has been a very, very long time since The Blot’s featured an “Is My Homeboy” t-shirt design. Sadly there just haven’t been any good designs in that genre…until now! Thankfully Blair Campbell came out with this awesome The Avengers inspired “Coulson is my Homeboy”, featuring everyone’s favorite member of SHIELD, Phil Coulson. Between last summer’s The Avengers and ABC’s upcoming SHIELD television show, the “Son of Coul” is without a doubt the face of the live action Marvel Universe. Now you can proudly show your allegiance to Phil with this awesome “Coulson is my Homeboy” t-shirt by Blair Campbell

The Marvel’s The Avengers “Coulson is my Homeboy” t-shirt by Blair Campbell can now be purchased through Blair’s Red Bubble online store in a variety of styles, colors and sizes starting at just $24.54.

Johnny Cupcakes x Apple “Byte Crossbones” T-Shirt

Every once in a while Johnny Cupcakes releases a tribute design that just totally blows The Blot’s mind! That happened again last weekend when Johnny Cupcakes dropped this surprise online exclusive in conjunction with the launch of its new website. “Byte Crossbones” combines Johnny Cupcakes crossbones logo with Apple’s classic rainbow bitten apple logo. It seriously works perfectly don’t you think!?!

The online exclusive Johnny Cupcakes x Apple “Byte Crossbones” t-shirt sadly sold out upon release, but was available in both men's and women’s styles, sizes S-3XL, for just $40 at the Johnny Cupcakes online store.

Hellboy 5” Mini Qee Vinyl Figures by Toy2R

The Blot won’t lie, I really don’t get this new Hellboy Qee release by Toy2R. Didn’t T2R already do this 5 years ago!?! This new collaboration with Mike Mignola and Dark Horse is a little chunkier and styalized. Plus, this is the first time a Hellboy Qee has been released in Toy2R’s 5 inch “Mini Qee” scale. There are three colorways in this Mini Qee release: Original, B.P.R.D. Edition, and Glow in the Dark.

Each Hellboy 5" Mini Qee vinyl figure is sold separately and features 3 points of articulation. While these are not expected to hit store shelves until July 2013, you can pre-order all three versions from Entertainment Earth for $15.99 each here.

DC Comics x UNKL Super Hero Unipo Vinyl Figures

UNKL has teamed up with DC Comics to produce a pretty cool new series of 3” Unipo mini figures of the heroes and villains of the DC Universe! The Blot’s never been a collector of UNKL’s urban vinyl figures, but I really like the mash-up of the UNKL aesthetic with DC’s classic characters. This series of DC Comics x UNKL Super Hero Unipo vinyl figures includes heroes Batman, Superman, and The Flash along with villains The Joker, Harley Quinn, and Mr. Freeze.

Each DC Comics x UNKL Super Hero Unipo vinyl figure features 3 points of articulation and comes individually packaged, but you can purchase a complete set of all 6 figures from Entertainment Earth for $59.99 (that’s just $10 a figure) here. This exciting new series is not expected to ship until June 2013.

Prehistory Fossilla Vinyl Figure by Josh Herbolsheimer

After multiple unpainted and one-off releases, Josh Herbolsheimer’s Fossilla is finally seeing its first painted release (nicknamed the Prehistory colorway)! The Blot has to admit, I was kind of undecided about this “Destroy All Kaiju!” figure, but seeing this epic painted version I’m totally sold on Fossilla. The paint does an amazing job showing off Josh’s sculpt (and really helps explains what’s really going on with Fossila’s body). The Prehistory Fossilla colorway is available now through the Super7 online store for $95 each. 

From the annals of time, the terrible creature that said no to extinction, Prehistory Fossilla is here! An ancient asteroid destroyed his world, and he is back with a vengeance! Cast in Volcanic-Ash Grey with black and brown oily-goop spray and blood-red mashed innards under his exposed skeletal remains.
