If you’re lucky enough to be able to attend SDCC this year, here is a heads up on some of Hasbro’s exclusive toys. I don’t know what I’d do with myself at an event that huge, but I’m sure I would want to spend way more money than I would have. Hell, I’d go just to get this Super Hero Squad Show exclusive featuring the mayor of Superhero City and Dr. Doom in his jammies.
These black-light posters were made in the 1970s by Third Eye Inc. from blown-up comic book panels. They’re pretty awesome. Thanks to Nick Derington for posting these.
Together with Volume 5 of X-Men, Buena Vista has released the complete 1994 Iron Man animated series on DVD. For one reason or another, I never watched this show in 94 so I was very interested in seeing it. Unfortunately, the cartoon isn’t as coherent or watchable as the X-Men show. If you’re like most people these days and get your image of Iron Man from the new films, I’d stay away from this one.
Along with Spider-Man and Batman, the 90s animated X-Men cartoon has always been one of my favorite cartoons from my childhood. Back in September I reviewed volumes 3 and 4 of the show’s run on DVD, and now it comes to an end with volume 5.
I never really thought we’d get this many episodes of X-Men on DVD, so I’m pumped to finally have them all. Well, I’d still like to see the 1989 pilot Pryde of the X-Men get a DVD release, but maybe if we buy enough of these sets they will release it.
Volume 5 contains the following episodes on two discs:
There’s something about the idea of a Thor movie that is starting to interest me. Maybe it’s the fact that I don’t know much about Thor, and don’t see how they’ll make him fit into the realistic movie universe they are crafting with the Iron Man movies.
The first pic of Chris Hemsworth as Thor was released today, and I kinda dig it. I’d love to see some hammer and/or helmet action, but this will do for now. I guess we’ll find out in 2011 how Captain Kirk’s daddy does as the god of thunder.
