Family Guy Classics Series 2 Available in April 2010

Family Guy fans, take heart that the Classics series is continuing.  Series 2 was just put up on Mezco Direct for pre-order, arriving in April next year.  I did not see the first series of Classics in person, so I’m not sure if the figures come with all of the original accessories.

Mezco’s line of six inch scale rotocast figures from the Emmy-award winning animated TV show, continues, including show accurate accessories.

Series 2 includes:

  • Secret Agent Astronaut Millionaire Peter
  • Bed Time Stewie
  • Cleveland (star of the new The Cleveland Show!)

The first episode of The Family Guy aired in 1999, and 10 years later the show is more popular than ever, with over 18 million weekly viewers and top-rated DVD sales! New episodes air weekly on FOX TV, and syndicated episodes can be seen multiple times a night on TBS and Cartoon Network.

Set includes 1 of each figure.

Available April 2010.

Blackest Night Rings Preorders End November 5

Reposting this as a reminder for folks who are looking for an easy way to get all the Blackest Night Lantern Rings.  The pre-order deadlines at TFAW.com for a couple of the comics is November 5.

Collect All Seven Blackest Night Lantern Rings!

GLRings2

If you’re a Green Lantern fan, you know all about Blackest Night, the biggest DC Comics crossover event of the year. But did you know you can collect a complete set of seven Blackest Night Lantern Rings when you buy the comics below?

You have two choices for each issue: either buy just the comic, or choose the comic with ring package. The rings are free, but you will incur a small price jump in shipping (most U.S. customers will see only a $.50 or $1.00 difference) because we can’t ship the rings in a flat package.

1:1 Scale DeLorean from Back to the Future

OK, so the 1:1 scale reference was a bit of a joke, because this isn’t a model or toy – it’s an actual DeLorean that’s been painstakingly modified to replicate the time machine from Back to the Future, and it’s available on eBay.  If only I had a hundred grand and change sitting around.

Ah well, there’s always the 1:18 scale version. 😀

Actual Great Moments in De-Evolution: DeLorean Time Machine


How awesome is this?? An almost exact replica of Doc Brown’s DeLorean from Back to the Future is available to purchase over eBay. It’s not the actual model used in the totally awesome trilogy, but according to the seller, it’s even better!

This car is what you want, a car that looks exactly like what you saw in the film, with all the cool lights, sounds and buttons you thought the car in the film had (but never really did). People are often really disappointed when they see a prop up close. Movie props are designed to be filmed from a distance, but this car truly looks and feels “real” even up close.

Holy crap!! This is mindblowing! There’s a bunch of cool stuff about the car that I’d tell you about, but my eyes started to glaze over when I saw all the text.

The seller is hoping someone wants to buy this replica for almost $130,000. Here’s where the De-evolution part comes in: some people are dumb enough to spend that much money on a time machine car that doesn’t even work.

….Or does it? BRB.

UFC Wave 2 Press Pics

JAKKS Pacific has updated its UFC Facebook page with pics of the second wave of action figures. It looks like they’ve adjusted the head sizes a bit, at least on some of the fighters – the oversized noggins are the biggest drawback of the line for me.

Next up, the scrawny legs. 😀
