My Name Vaguely Resembles Bruce
By now, you probably know that cult icon Bruce Campbell will soon be starring in a comedy adventure in which he plays a version of himself, though you might not realize that he’ll also be appearing as himself in 12″ action figure form, from Dark Horse. And you still might not realize it after seeing [...]

Monday, November 10, 2008
If you’ve been on the Internet for more than five minutes, you’ve probably encountered Domo-kun [tagged], the little, pointy-toothed mascot for Japan’s NHK TV station. Even in the US, he’s emblazoned across notebooks, shirts, posters, and a bunch of 8″ tall flocked, vinyl figures from Dark Horse. This month, Dark Horse again presents Domo, [...]

By noon, my hunt for exclusives is pretty much over. I’m overwhelmed with sensory overload, and there is too much to see in too little time. You could spend an afternoon just people-watching. One of my favorite costumes of the day was a home-made Domo. It wasn’t as cool as these colorways by Dark Horse, [...]

Monday, July 14, 2008
Following a glorious opening weekend for Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Mezco strategically announced their latest SDCC exclusive figure, Locker room Hellboy. Following a scene from the movie (I won’t ruin anything, except apparently earth bound specters need a shower too) the figure comes with a towel, a six pack, and of course, The Samaritan. [...]

Tuesday, July 8, 2008
Normally when someone mentions donuts I think of coffee, policemen, and whatever the opposite of a phallic symbol would be. That is unless you’re talking about artist Eric Joyner, who is most noted for his paintings of donuts doing battle with robots in classic American surroundings. Not your standard pairing, but it’s what [...]

Friday, June 20, 2008
People who know me are aware that I am a compulsive writer. As far as neuroses go, it’s better than compulsive eating or gambling I suppose. I have a favorite kind of pen, and I’m perpetually collecting small notebooks to stash in various places for when the compulsion hits. I’m not a Moleskine snob, though [...]

Limited to 300 pieces, the lucky green Domo is currently available for pre-order. Shipping is scheduled for fall 2008. The green is just one of the [...]

Friday, May 23, 2008
The love of Domo (the brown Japanese monster and TV station mascot) hasn’t wained in the last few years. In fact, his power and fame have merely grown here in the states. The only problem I see? He only ever comes in brown. That is, until Dark Horse was allowed to start [...]

Man, the fanboy in me is really coming out today. Dark Horse is releasing a Vampire Hunter D bust crafted by master sculptor Tim Bruckner. Vampire Hunter D was created by my favorite Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano (the man behind 20 years of Final Fantasy art and Gatchaman) and the sculpt stays very [...]

Hellboy is one of the coolest comic heroes ever and it’s great to see him getting the appreciation he deserves. Prepping for the Hellboy 2 movie, Mezco is releasing an INCREDIBLY limited “bronze” bust. It’s not actually made of bronze, but has a sheen to give it that appearance. The really interesting [...]

Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Originally from Japan, Domo is a cuddly creature with sharp teeth. Starting in June, Dark Horse will offer officially-licensed Domo merchandise. Retailers like TFAW.com are now accepting pre-orders for the Domo 8″ flocked vinyl figure. The Domo figure will come in classic brown, royal blue, fuchsia, and white. I confess that I was a little concerned [...]

Monday, April 21, 2008
Star Wars fans, get ready for the newest release by Dark Horse. I think most Star Wars fans can agree that Boba Fett is one of the coolest characters of all time. Even if you’re not a fan of the movie franchise, you have to appreciate how bad-ass he is. Kotobukiya will add six popular bounty [...]
