Amy Farrah Fowler The Big Bang Theory Pop! Vinyl Figures by Funko

It’s crazy to think that Funko released its very first Sheldon The Big Bang Theory Pop! vinyl figure exactly one year ago, and in all that time we haven’t seen any other TBBT characters released as Pop! figures (although we’ve seen almost everyone as Wacky Wobbler bobble heads by now). That changed earlier this month when Funko released this drab Amy Farrah Fowler Big Bang Theory Pop! Is this Blossom's Mayim Bialik's first ever toy?  Now Sheldon can finally be reunited with his one true love forever as matching vinyl figures.

But that’s not all! JMD Retail has also released an exclusive Amy Farrah Fowler Pop! colorway. This is JMD Retail's first exclusive figure, retails for $12.00 and is limited to just 2,000 figures. Pick one up here! The standard edition Amy Farrah Fowler The Big Bang Theory Pop! vinyl figure should be in stores now, or you can order one now from Entertainment Earth for $9.99 each here.

New Superman Man of Steel Movie Posters

It’s not quite summer yet, but the summer movie season is already in high gear with huge films like Iron Man 3 and Star Trek Into Darkness in theaters. So far most of the summer’s big films are getting pretty mixed reviews, and The Blot’s super interested to hear what fans think about Zach Snyder’s upcoming Superman live action film Man of Steel. The trailers look cool, but they’re not really what I’m looking for from a Superman film. However, these one sheet movie posters look epic. I love how iconic the posters look, and that’s what I want in a classic DC Comics Superman story (that and Lex Luthor and/or Braniac as the villain). There’s no more iconic hero than Kal-El and his films need to exude that feeling.

Man of Steel swoops into theaters on June 14, 2013.

As is Super7’s tradition, each Lucky Bag contains toys which have never been available before and will not be made available anywhere afterwards! While I don’t want to post any spoilers, check out Joshua Herbolsheimer’s new Caveman Dinosaur.

Grape Ape T-Shirt by Rufnek x Matt Turney

Matt Turney (of Brand New Intention) has teamed up with Rufnek to produce a pretty cool pop culture inspired t-shirt entitled “Grape Ape”! This epic design combines Hanna-Barbera’s Grape Ape (a hugely under appreciated cartoon character in The Blot’s opinion) recreating the iconic Michael Jordan Wheaties cereal box that featured MJ wearing his Grape Air Jordan Vs. The Grape Vs are legendary, and what goes better with a grape sneaker colorway than the Grape Ape! Seems like a match made in heaven to me.

The Grape Ape x Wheaties x Air Jordan V Retro Grapes design is currently available for purchase through the Rufnek online store as a t-shirt ($27.99), tank ($29.99) and raglan ($34.99) in a variety of sizes.

For years now Reactor88 has been producing epic totem custom figures and now you can rep his unique art style on a t-shirt!

Unfortunately, most of these will be pretty hard to get your hands on if you’re a collector in North America. The 400% and 1,000% Iron Man Mark XLII Be@rbricks are Medicom Toy Exhibit 2013 Exclusives, while it appears the War Machine Be@rbricks are Japan exclusives (but I’m not positive on that one). The one Iron Man 3 Be@rbrick I have found available in the US is the Iron Patriot 400% Be@rbrick which is currently available for pre-order at Entertainment Earth for $124.99 here. If you find any of these other awesome IM3 Be@rbricks available for sale in the US please let The Blot know!

The Hangover Part III Portrait Character Movie Posters

While the original The Hangover film was genius, my favorite part of it was its excellent set of portrait character one sheet movie posters seen here (especially the Mike Tyson poster). So of course for the third and final The Hangover film they’ve decided to bring back the portrait character movie poster set!

From the look of these one sheets it appears the film reunites the franchise’s entire cast, including Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, Heather Graham, and Ken Jeong. Plus John Goodman seems to be playing a pretty significant role in The Hangover Part III. While each poster is pretty simple, a clear shot of each character’s face on a black background and a quote from the movie, I love the effect! It helps that each actor is giving the most expressive looks. Now, where’s my Mike Tyson poster!?!

The Hangover III, directed by Todd Phillips, premieres in theaters on May 24, 2013.

Tri-Color Blue Gread Resin Figures by Dead Hand Toys

Tenacious Toys continues its popular Super Series Sundays, which features a new release of a resin or custom figure series each Sunday.

The Blot loves these 2” little bog monsters, and this colorway featuring three different shades of Tenacious Toys signature blue color scheme turned out fantastic! To create these figures, Dead Hand Toys poured in 3 different colors of blue resin so that each figure is truly one of a kind.

The Tenacious Toys Exclusive Tri-Color Blue Gread resin figure by Dead Hand Toys has a limited edition run size of just 20 pieces, and goes on sale at the Tenacious Toys online store this Sunday, May 26th, at 10am EST for $20 each.

Batman 1966 TV Series Action Figures

DC Comics has teamed up with Mattel to bring back the classic 1966 Batman live action television series in a big way! Mattel already has two different waves of action figures based on the beloved TV series, which has all of the campy, retro coolness of the original CBS series. The Batman 1966 Television Series toy line includes Adam West’s Batman, Cesar Romero’s The Joker, Burgess Meredith’s The Penguin, Julie Newmar’s Catwoman, and Frank Gorshin’s The Riddler. It even includes a “Surf’s Up” Batman, which features Batman in a yellow swimsuit and matching Bat-surfboard. All this toy line needs is Burt Ward’s Robin and Yvonne Craig’s Batgirl and it’d be seriously perfect!

The Batman 1966 TV Series Toy Line features six 6” action figures based on the popular old school television show, each individually packaged in a blister card. These figures aren’t expected to ship until August 2013, but you can pre-order all six figures from Entertainment Earth for $17.99 each.

“Saved by Samus” Painting by ValleyDweller Charity Auction

Inspired by the recent tragedy in Oklahoma, ValleyDweller had decided put his epic painting video game inspired painting "Saved by Samus" up for auction on eBay with all proceeds being donated to the Red Cross. The painting was originally created for Gallery 1988's "Old School Video Game Art Show" in September of 2011. It features Earthworm Jim being carried out of rubble by Samus Aran from Metroid. The original intent of the piece was to play up that Jim had a crush on Samus, but in light of the recent tornado disaster in Oklahoma ValleyDweller hopes that it becomes a bit more about the rescue itself.

“Saved by Samus” is a 12”x16” acrylic on canvasboard painting and comes framed. It’s been listed on eBay starting at $25 to cover materials, and everything beyond that amount will be donated to the Red Cross.

Batman 1966 Pop! Vinyl Figures by Funko

What really makes this set perfect is that Romero’s The Joker even includes his signature, out of character mustache.

Each Batman 1966 Television Series Pop! Heroes vinyl figure by Funko stands 3.75” tall, features one point of articulation, and comes packaged in a full color window box. While these figures are not scheduled to hit store shelves until October 2013, you can pre-order all four from Entertainment Earth for $9.99 each here.

The Wolverine Sumi-e Character Movie Posters

Last November FOX released the killer The Wolverine character movie poster seen above designed using the ink wash painting technique known as sumi-e or suibokuga in Japanese. That poster proved so popular FOX decided to release an entire set of The Wolverine Sumi-e character one sheet movie posters! Pretty awesome, right!?!

This The Wolverine Sumi-e Character Movie Poster Set includes Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Will Yun Lee as Silver Samurai, Svetlana Khodchenkova as Viper and Rila Fukushima as Yukio.
