They could have a backpack version of Clank behind the sticker for Ratchet to wear. I do hope this line continues. I really want a Sly Cooper minimate now.

Not sure if Sly Cooper will happen. So far all of the Sony Minimates are from games that were produced by either Naughty Dog or Insomniac Games. Crash Bandicoot & Spyro the Dragon are more likely possibilities.

I really like the Clank Minimate. The Uncharted ones are nice but they should have picked a less serious face for Drake. He spends the whole game making jokes and is a very light hearted character. I am really digging these, too bad my TRU has seemingly stopped getting new Minimates in.

I made one of the Human Torch (RIP) flaming on here with my iPhone.

Very nice.

Apparently the producers have access to the Internet because the costume has changed. You can read the article here.

Hopefully they didnt get swept away in the tsunami, earthquake aftermath, or now the radiation contamination in that area of the world where they are made.

that sounds like you're trying to be funny, if so... you're an absolute disgrace, and a mess of a human being... sort yourself out.

Yeah, seriously not funny.

I think that it may be time for the cold water. Most people don't get to do what they love for a living and as terrible as it sounds it's probably time to find something that you don't hate to do in the meantime while you are pursuing your creative goals. I had a similar situation when I was a little younger than you are and I decided that if I wanted the things that would make me the happiest (a family of my own and the ability to buy what I wanted when I wanted) I needed to look at life realistically and man up and get a job. I still write and watch movies, not as much as I'd like but enough and it's not bad. Sorry if it seems harsh.

I got the LCS Thor series at Megacon yesterday and for some reason my Odin only came with 1 hand? I also joined SHIELD.

The more I see the more I like. Here is a trailer for the obligatory video game accompaniment.

I still can't find Wave 9...

You and I are in the same boat. Up a particular type of creek with no means of moving forward.

I have a very difficult time imagining Tarantino doing a superhero movie. Maybe Master of Kung Fu.

I think I'm the only person I know who has never even seen a Tarantino movie. :|

That's something that a) I would not go around telling people. And B would rectify immediately rent Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2, Jackie Brown you'll thank me.

I am going to try and make something. Though right now not sure what it will be.

It's interesting that people keep mentioning Singer considering that the script was written by Christopher McQuarrie who also wrote what is undoubtedly Singer's best movie, The Usual Suspects. Personally I liked Superman Returns, did it have problems? Yes but there were genuine "Superman" moments in that movie that the others failed to achieve. That said I do not want Brian Singer to make this movie I would love to see someone who makes good movies and also know how to shoot action get the job. Paul Greengrass, Doug Liman, Martin Campbell, Joe Carnahan, even Danny Boyle. Once the director is picked though Fox needs to reduce their role to the signing of the checks and nothing else.

Edit: I was sitting around and thought of an even better choice to direct Wolverine. Ben Affleck. For all you haters watch the two movies that he has both written and directed and then tell me the guy doesn't have skills.

its working great on my iPhone. the biggest thing i have noticed is i can send private messages now where as before i could not. bravo.

I say throw out the to do list. It's good as is. I really like the new messenger where it shows the whole "conversation".

These have yet to find their way to my TRU. Oh well, I only wanted a couple of them any way.

This year will be the first time in 5+ years that I have not been to Megacon. It saddens me because I have always enjoyed it. What's odd is that I will be in Orlando for a week starting that Sunday with the wife and kids for a vacation. I may try to sneak away if I get there at a decent hour.

I kind of like the new look.

I picked up Homefront and I like it quite a bit. The idea of another country invading the US and our eventual uprising is something that I never get tired of. There are a couple nods to Red Dawn that I have noticed so far, which isn't surprising considering the guy who wrote the game also wrote Red Dawn.

I have a great ninja idea

I too have a new computer on the way. It wasn't purchased to replace anything though. I bought 2 of these, one for me and one for the wife. It should be here on Thursday. I am like a kid at Christmas waiting for this thing. I was thinking of getting an iPad but I thought that this had more to offer. I have an iPhone 4 and didn't need a giant one.

I like the chestpiece but it makes the arms look very puny. If you could wait until the new bulked up Hulk comes out slap some grey paint on it and that'd be an awesome new Rhino.

If anyone needs some Ghostbusters my TRU has a plentiful supply. At last count there were over 50 2 packs of varying waves. Not kidding.

I was on a late night trip to Wal Mart and saw the new Thor figures so I bought a few and here are some pictures. Sorry about the picture quality they were taken with my phone. I passed on the Thor with light up hammer and the Frost Giant. The case pack out is 3 each of the different versions of Thor and one each of Loki, Odin, Frost Giant.

Loki

Odin

Battle Hammer Thor

Sword Spike Thor

The 2 Thors

MU Thor and movie Thor

Does size matter
