Cronos Screen Print by Mike Mignola & The Devil’s Backbone Screen Print by Guy Davis!

Mondo is releasing two screen prints today based on the films of Guillermo del Toro, Cronos and The Devil’s Backbone. This alone would be pretty exciting news, but what makes today’s releases extra special are the artists behind them!

The Devil’s Backbone features artwork by renowned comic illustrator Guy Davis in a beautiful 9 color screenprint. If Guy’s work looks familiar it’s because of his long history working in Mignola’ Hellboy universe at Dark Horse Comics.

Cronos by Mike Mignola is an 18"x24" hand numbered screen print. It has a limited edition run size of 185 pieces and will retail for $45. The Devil’s Backbone by Guy Davis is an 18"x24" hand numbered screen print. It has a limited edition run size of 210 pieces and will retail for $45.

Star Wars Black Series Wave 2 6” Action Figures

At San Diego Comic-Con 2013 Hasbro unveiled Wave 2 of their new line of Star Wars Black 6” action figures. Although Wave 1 is still not in store yet, fans are going crazy over these early pics and the SDCC 2013 Exclusive Boba Fett action figure. The Blot was lucky enough to score the SDCC Boba, and it is awesome!!! All the details and articulation of a 1:6 action figure at a fraction of the cost. The Star Wars Black Series Wave 2 is scheduled to include Slave Lea, Episode 1 Han Solo, Empire Strikes Back Boba Fett and Greedo. It’s my understanding that this is the same Boba Fett figure that was released at Comic-Con with different packaging and it does not include Han in Carbonite.

Star Wars Black Series Wave 2 is not scheduled to hit store shelves until November 2013, but you can pre-order the entire 4 figure wave from Entertainment Earth for $79.99 here.

These Don’t Care Bears are some of the worst of the worst!

A must buy for any CHEW and/or comic book fan, each Comic-Con exclusive Chog comes packaged in a full color hand numbered box.

The Hundreds 10th Anniversary “Top Ten” T-Shirt Collection

Yesterday, July 26th, The Hundreds turned 10 years old! How crazy is that!?! While it feels like the indie streetwear brand has been around forever, 10 years sounds like a really long time. In honor of this truly momentous anniversary The Hundreds had decided to break their own rules! They’re going back to the well and reprinting ten of their favorite, long sold out limited edition t-shirts from the brand’s first decade. What’s really cool about this collection is each t-shirt features the original art from way back when and silkscreened them onto The Hundred’s favorite colorways of that style.

The Hundreds 10th Anniversary Top Ten T-Shirt Collection was handpicked by Bobby and Ben Hundred, each picking five designs. The Hundreds 10th Anniversary Collection includes “Hip-Hop Is Dead”, “Cans”, “Make ‘em Scream”, “Nine”, “Cop”, “Waiting”, “State of America”, “Pest”, “Jerky” and “Honkys”. Each features a The Hundreds 10th Anniversary Bar Logo on the sleeve and some feature The Hundreds 10th Anniversary Bomb Logo on their back. These limited edition t-shirts retail for $32 each, and are only available at The Hundreds online store and at The Hundreds flagship stores, with many designs already sold out online.

Johnny Cupcakes “Cakeburger” T-Shirt

Check out Johnny Cupcakes' newest limited edition t-shirt “Cakeburger”! While the t-shirt itself is cool, what makes this an extra-special release is its packaging. To go along with the burger motif, each Cakeburger tee comes packaged in a custom fast food hamburger box! The Blot hasn’t had a Big Mack in a while, but I’d recognize that packaging anywhere. What an epic idea am I right!?!

The “Cakeburger” Johnny Cupcakes T-Shirt is limited to just 400 pieces and sold out almost immediately upon release. Anytime a Johnny Cupcakes tee is released in custom packaging those t-shirts just fly off the shelf! So if you want to score one I'd suggest keeping one eye peeled to the Johnny Cupcakes online store all summer long for more surprise releases.

Marvel x Threadless The Incredible Hulk T-Shirt Collection

Threadless continues its killer line of community designed Marvel t-shirts with a new collection of The Incredible Hulk t-shirts! Everyone’s favorite gamma radiated jolly green giant really looks awesome in these off beat designs. The Blot especially loves the retro feel of some of these t-shirts.

Edward Teabelly Custom Munny by Krunster

If you’ve read TheBlotSays.com for any length of time then you know two of my favorite things are designer art toys and independent clothing brands. So what happens when you combine the two? Pure bliss! Our good friends at Edward Teabelly recently commissioned artist Krunster to create a custom vinyl figure of their brand’s mascot Edward! The result was freaking “spot” on if you ask me. Krunster really knocked it out of the part with this custom and I’d love to see a production Edward Teabelly vinyl figure one day. Until then just marvel at this beautiful custom Edward Teabelly Munny by Krunster!

The Wolverine Sumi-e Character Movie Posters Series 2 including Jean Grey!

With The Wolverine debuting in theaters tonight at midnight, I thought it only appropriate to highlight the film’s second wave of these beautiful The Wolverine sumi-e character movie posters! Sumi-e (or suibokuga) is a traditional Japanese ink wash painting technique and it is used masterfully here in creating these awesome one sheet movie posters. They also do a fantastic job setting the mood for the film, don’t you think?  That little splash of red is intense!

The Wolverine Sumi-e Character Movie Poster Set Series 2 includes Famke Janssen as Jean Grey, Will Yun Lee as Harada (aka Silver Samurai), Hiroyuki Sanada as Shingen and Tao Okamoto as Mariko Yashida (Wolverine’s love interest). You can check out the first wave of The Wolverine Sumi-e Character Movie Posters here.

So here it is, the one San Diego Comic-Con 2013 exclusive The Blot is still ticked I missed out on! Check out these awesome custom The Manhattan Projects LEGO mini figures by the comic book’s co-creator and artist, Nick Pitarra! Nick painstakingly created LEGO versions of Albert Einstein with a chainsaw, Joseph Oppenheimer with some radioactive material, and Harry Daghlian with a wrench.

The Wolverine International Movie Posters

We’re just a few days away from the world premiere of The Wolverine!!! For decades now Wolverine has been Marvel’s most popular member of the X-Men, not to mention superhero in general. While the first Wolverine solo film, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, was good, The Wolverine looks incredible. And I really love the vibe of these international one sheet movie posters for the film. They do such a great job invoking the rage and ferociousness of Logan in this adaptation of the classic Chris Claremont /Frank Miller storyline.

The Wolverine slashes into theaters on Friday, July 26, 2013.
