E.V.A.-New York Comic Con Coverage for Friday October 6 with Rob Banks

Posted on 2017/10/07 by James

Everyone who is everyone is at New York Comic Con. I’ve watched this con go from a medium sized con, thrown in February to the juggernaut that it is today. 4 days of complete insanity. I crush of humanity…unwashed humanity for the most part. I remember the “good old days” when the con organizers would call me and ask if I wanted a press pass. Oh how times have changed.

One of our men on the scene is the main man over at The Red Cup Review, Rob Banks. Rob was in the thick of it on Friday and I know that he will be there again over the weekend so he is a braver man than I. Continue reading →

Equipment: Hallmark Keepsake Ornament P-5000 Power Work Loader from Aliens

Posted on 2017/10/02 by James

I love that Hallmark has embraced icons from Pop Culture and is turning them into Christmas ornaments. I am sure that ornaments based on television and movie characters date back long before the 1990’s but my first recollection of a Keepsake Ornament that wasn’t typical Christmas fare was in 1991 when the first U.S.S. Enterprise was released. I guess for me that was when I felt I could really personalize my Christmas tree. No longer was I limited to reindeer, penguins and Santas, I could have starships, Hot Wheels and Muppets. Continue reading →

Equipment: Blade Runner 2046 Action Figures from NECA

Posted on 2017/10/02 by James

Back in 1982 when the first Blade Runner movie came out there weren’t many toys made for the movie. I believe the only company that had the license to do toys was Ertl which produced die-cast metal cars. There were no Blade Runner action figures made for the 1982 movie. Over the years there have been non-licensed figures produced but nothing official. These non-licensed figures were labeled “Android Hunter” and were ridiculously expensive. Now 35 years later we have a sequel to Blade Runner and with the new movie, a new line of toys. Continue reading →

Hard Copy: The Art of the Film Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets Review

Posted on 2017/09/29 by James

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is the latest film from acclaimed French director, Luc Besson. Based on a French comic book by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mezieres, Valerian was perfect for the big screen treatment. The movie was filled with stunning visuals and fantastic beings in all shapes and sizes. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets was beautiful to watch. Sadly, there is so much to look at on the screen it is hard to see everything. Continue reading →

Equipment: Previews Exclusive Mezco One: 12 Judge Dredd Figure Review

Posted on 2017/09/29 by James

Although Judge Dredd has been around since 1977 he was not popular in the United States until after the horrible Judge Dredd Sylvester Stallone movie premiered. Though the movie was a steaming pile of excrement it did introduced a whole new audience to the character. Then in 2012 Judge Dredd was brought back to the big screen in an adaptation that was closer to his comic book counterpart. Continue reading →
