Spawn of Joy

Editia speciala Spawn Anniversay Five & One (1995-2000) mi-e draga pentru ca:
1. Este al dracului de rara.
2. Contine doua bucatele de istorie: prima figurina de 6 inch Spawn din 1995 si cea din 2000 (care a dat tonul si designul a zeci de figurine Spawn ce incanta ochiul fanului de 9 ani incoace)
3. Este varianta semnata de creatorul nebuniei Spawn, Mcfarlane Todd. Doar una din zece cutii a fost semnata, iar editia totala este limitata la cateva sute.
4. Am platit o suma ridicol de mica (noroc chior) pentru piesa asta de muzeu si niciun serviciu postal nu si-a facut de cap cu ea.
5. Biensur, e sigilata si inca pastreaza (in interior) aerul unor vremuri interesante si ale unor locuri ce au favorizat cele mai frumoase creatii din universul jucariilor de colectie.

Watch it!

Who watches the latest episode of Up 'n Down?

Aha!

Astroboy is happy now: his new super-companion likes also the red colour and flying around occasionally. So here it is, my latest oil colour-project, SPRMN.

"AHA!" - oil on canvas, size 120 x 70cm & 35 x 35cm
(ask for price only if you can afford being awsome)

Indy come home!

A venit si ziua cand Indy (al lu' Sideshow) mi-a facut cu mana... dintr-o oferta pe care nu o puteam refuza.

Kubrick or not to brick

Si pentru ca e luna cadourilor, am primit unul (cadou) neasteptat, sub forma setului A (Ozzy, Comedian, Owl) de la Watchmen Kubrick (medicom). Setul B (Manhattan, Rorch, Silk) sunt in drum spre setul A, adicatelea spre mine. Da, sunt geniale si le recomand iubitorilor de Watchmen cat si celor de comics in general. Bine, fie.. si celorlalti care probabil don't give a shh..toy. Enjoy!

It's rainig ...DC Comics Barbie Superhero Dolls

click pt big pic.

Desi nu sunt niste variante Deluxe, papusile (editie DC Comics Collectors) de la Mattel fac o impresie buna per ansamblu. Ca sa citez un (site) clasic: Barbie goes Super with DC Comics! Nu stiu daca am reusit sa le adun pe toate, dar majoritatea sunt gasibile pe amazon (no shipping to Romania also!). Accesoriile si clothing-ul sunt destul de bine realizate, avand in vedere ca blonda de Barbie s-a cam dat in barci cu toalele ei de bimbo ...pana de curand si probabil de aici inainte. Lansate in 2008 (de ce asa traziu?) super-Barbie-urile au facut victime in deosebi printre fanii si colectionarii de figurine cu super-eroi si mult mai putin in target-ul initial. Desi Super-Woman, Super-Girl si poate Bat-Woman ar atrage orice fetita de 5-8 ani, celelate personaje sunt putin mai dubioase si necesita un background mai complex: Harely Quinn, Elektra, Poison Ivy, Cat-Woman, Invisible Woman, Black Canary. Over all, toata povestea asta feminista e super! Desi nu sunt tocmai convins ca majoritatea varinatelor feminine ale super-eroilor actuali au vreo noima, tin sa mentionez ca e ok sa iti placa Barbie. De Craciun, de DC Comics, DeLuxe.

Jos e noul sus... etc

Azi a aparut si continuarea episodului de miercurea trecuta. Da.. au legatura. Anyhow, enjoy webcomics.ro

Corleone looks great in December

Totul a inceput prin vara cu o simpla comanda facuta la un furnizor din USA. Comanda cu pricina: Don Vito Corleone by Hot Toys

- Stands approximately 12 inches / 31cm tall, true to 1/6th scale
- Use of Hot Toys TrueType figure with over 32 points of articulation
- Dresses with real fabric, movie accurate black couture
- Comes with accessories including the famous chair, his cat and a glass.
- Includes two sets interchangeable hands and one hand for holding the glass.
- Features amazing head sculpt with authentic likeness of Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone

Deasemeni, pachetul de la Hot Toys mai contine si celebrul colt din biroul Nasului sub forma unei diorame. Loc unde il poti aseza pe faimosul scaun tapitat cu piele, cu un pahar de vin in mana si cu pisica in poala. Eh, nu mare lucru.. Anyhow, revenind la comanda: dupa doua luni cad la invoiala cu furnizorul ca pachetul este pierdut, banii sunt returnati, clientul dezamagit...dar nu fara speranta. Gasesc un alt furnizor (incadrandu-ma in bugetul initial) de data asta din Honk Kong (tara Hot Toys). Nu este nevoie sa mai spun cate luni au trecut si cata dezamagire s-a mai asternut intre timp. Pachetul numarul 2 este declarat pierdut si totul pare ca desprins din Zona Crepusculara. Don Vito Corleone nu vrea sa ajunga in Romania. (cine naibii vrea, pana la urma?) Totusi, dupa 6 luni de asteptare, un colet urias, cantarind aproape 4 kilograme ajunge (intr-o stare foarte buna, culmea) in bratele mele. L-am desfacut cu grija si teama (ca voi gasi doar pisica lui Don)... si am descoperit o adevarata comoara Hot Toys. Packagingul este uluitor, figurina depaseste orice asteptare iar diorama face toti banii. In bookletul din cutia doi (ce contine diorama) am gasit descrierea unei echipe de peste 10 oameni (minunati) ce au lucrat la acest proiect si niste beauty shots ce par luate din filmul original. Atasez postarii pozele minunatiei si va las sa visati cu ochii deschisi la vremuri mai bune, la oameni de calitate, servicii postale, brigada anti-drog de la vama, alegeri prezidentiale, mafie si pisici complice.
PS: Andrei, marti ai intalnire cu Don Vito Corleone. Please be careful! He's fragile!

Dilbert's

In caz ca sunteti fani Dilbert si va mai plac si figurinele, de sarbatori, la un pret mai mult decat special (ask me if you care) Mr. D si restul personajelor principale va asteapta in cutia lor (cubicle like). Oferta este valabila doar pana la 30 noiembrie, dupa care nu-mi mai pasa de voi. Asta la vista baby!

I, (love) Robot

“Lopid(ROPID)” robot was created by Tomotaka Takahashi from Robo Garage at Kyoto University. The cuteness itself comes in small size, 38cm (high) and weight of 1,600g. It's able to respond to voice commands and speak with its mouth. ROPID is also able to walk, run and jump more faster than other similar constructed robots. And let's not forget the fact that is DAMN CUTE!
