If you follow me on Instagram (and really, why wouldn’t you?), you’ve probably seen me post shots of action figures hanging around a model Asteroids arcade cabinet. Years ago I posted about those G.I. Joe-scale arcades and I ordered one myself from EMDKay.net.

Well, I was having so much fun with my Asteroids cabinet that I wanted to get more of these awesome model arcade cabs, and I knew I had to have the TMNT model. I also figured that you all would be stoked to get a chance to win one yourselves, so when I placed my order I asked about hosting a giveaway, and they were for it.

If you haven’t seen these, they’re incredibly detailed models of actual arcade games from the 80s and 90s. They are to G.I. Joe scale, but they work really well with lots of different action figures, including Ninja Turtles. EMDKay has a crazy-huge selection and eventually I want them all, but for now I’m just glad to finally be able to take meta photos of the Turtles playing their own game.

Friend of the site and Geek Extraordinaire™ Christopher Lee has been busy lately. He just recently revamped his store, released some awesome American Food Stand prints, and somehow managed to find time to start his own t-shirt line. He’d been teasing his shirt designs on Instagram for a while now, and they are incredible.

Chris’ two shirts are called Scoundrels, Miscreants, and Rapscallions and The Warriors of Saturday Morning. They both sport the awesome style you’d expect from Chris in a 5 color screen print with “soft feel” inks printed on an Anvil 980 “fashion fit” tee. Yes please.

I love Chris’ villain designs in Scoundrels. They’re all great and arranged together they make up one badass shirt. Then there’s The Warriors of Saturday Morning. It’s jam-packed with 80s pop culture references in the best way and I think I want to live in that universe.

If you’ve seen Wreck-It Ralph, chances are you loved Wreck-It Ralph.  The movie has enough heart, charm, and video game goodness to keep you coming back for more.  Sadly, the Blu-ray won’t be available for a few months, but until then you can revisit the film thanks to Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph Storybook Deluxe and Hero’s Duty Interactive Comic, both available for iOS.

Wreck-It Ralph Storybook Deluxe

As with previous Disney interactive storybooks, the book portion of the Wreck-It Ralph Storybook Deluxe app is essentially a retelling of the movie’s plot.  Aimed at a younger audience, the storybook features narration, animation, and artwork that is top notch.  Whenever a character actually has dialog, the actor that played the part provides the voice, making for an authentic retelling of the story.
