[Sideshow Classic Iron Man Comiquette]


Here it is, released not too long ago, the Classic version of Iron Man in comiquette form. Now all you Avengers fans can have a complete group display (minus Antman, but...yeah. Exactly). Hit the jump for pics!

Bunch of people complained and passed on this piece. I believe the exclusive is still in stock at Sidwshow so take a peek if your interested. The exclusive by the way is the only way to go in my opinion. You get the Tony Stark head and switch-out arm that holds his empty helmet. The piece does look a tad strange with the helmeted regular head.

So I got this piece, totally stoked to open it and I see a whole buttload of issues with it.  There's dried glue all over his arm and paint scratches everywhere.  So it's back to Sideshow for this one...but for now here are some shots.  Scroll down for the lucious pics, and as always, check out full ablum here.

[Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Coming?]


Could it be?!? Could it really be?!? Spider-man, Iron Man, Ryu, Akuma, Wolverine .... *drooooooooooooooooooL* It's coming y'all....the grandpoppa of all fighting games, at least thats what the word on the street is. A big 2 in the background, the URL; tu4ar.com. Take You 4 A Ride anybody? The classic cheese Capcom song that has been imprinted in my head, unmistakeable! Even better....what say you to a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 HD REMIX! I say hell yes to that. Most likely a pipe-dream, but lets see in 4 days shall we?

[Sideshow Man-Thing Preview]


Meh. Pass for me. But if men and things are your cup of tea, you'll dig this. Not really familiar with this dude. After some research looks like he was created by Stan Lee and inspired the Swamp Thing (they look completely different though, see below!). For some reason, reading up on him reminds me of the Toxic Avenger. Remember him?!? Ohhh man, no idea why, but I used to think he was cool as hell. Looks like a giant turd to me. But hey, what do I know.


Hit the link for the full preview for Sideshow.

Swamp Thing

[Spiderman Premium Format]

Like I said, men in tights = badass. Seems like people either love or hate this one. No in between on this on eh? Yes I'm from Canada. Let me know what you think, check it out and decide for yourself.


Some people hate it; for the pose, the spandex, the less than towering size. Some love it. I happen to love it, I think it is awesome, spandex and all! Still hoping Sideshow redoes Spidey into a comiquette, but this one satisfies the salivary glands for now. So check out the pics of Peter Parker with a my apartment cityscape view as the backdrop!

[Daigo Wins Street Fighter 4 Tournament]


Daigo's ridiculous Ryu vs Justin Wong's Rufus, at this years International Street Fighter 4 Tourmnament, in San Francisco. Check out the videos from all the final bracket matchups.

Remember that infamous comeback battle video that became a fighting video legend? The same two guys, so these dudes are not strangers. Check out the video for some professional Street Fighter 4 action!



[Sideshow Iron Spider-Man Comiquette]

Ahhh, the Iron Spidey Comiquette from Sideshow. Who the hell is that you ask? Well I don't blame you. Allow me to geek out for a paragraph or two:

It's a not a super famous version of Spider-man, but essentially after Iron Man took control of the Pro-Registration camp after the 'Superhero Registration Act' was enacted. Peter Parker made his identity public and joined Iron Man's camp...Tony Stark then designed a new costume for him and voilaaaaa. Iron Spider-Man. With 3 retractable claws and the ability to cloak and become invisible. Nifty! The regular version of this badboy is still in stock on Sideshow's page, hit the link if your interested! Pics to follow!

[PopCultureShock Vega Mixed Media Statue]


My 2nd ever PopCultureShock piece by Jerry Macaluso. Gorgeous gorgeous piece, check out the pics after the break. Along with my Street Fighter 4 addiction right now, this is a perfect compliment! Luckily I didn't have any issues with my Vega, as there problems with a lot of them coming out of the warehouse with broken claws among other things. It's pretty fragile as you can see, but sweet looking no doubt. Not the most popular character, but one that continues to whup my ass on Xbox Live! But here he is in one piece:

[Sideshow Wolverine Comiquette]


Duuuuude...probably the best looking Wolverine statue out, hands down. This thing is just bad-ass. Pictures of the badass variety follows after the jump!

Fellow freak hooked me up with this, shout outs P1x4r! I can't stop starring at this thing...should gain a little popularity now that the new Wolverine movie is coming out. And I saw coming out loosely, since if you really wanted, you can watch it right now. But I certainly don't condone that! :) Pony up the $10 and check it out when it releases! Sneak below, full set here.






[Sideshow Collectibles Predator Diorama]

A super photogenic piece that I got for a steal off evilBay. This is one of my favorite Predator pieces of all-time, from one of my favorite movies ever! Hit the jump for details. Looks amazing in person and awesome in pictures. It even comes with a wall mounting mechanism...but lets not try that one for now. :/ Enjoy and as always you can check out the rest of the pics over here!
