New York Comic Con 2013 - Cool Ass Statues

One of the coolest things that any con has to offer are the ridiculous and highly detailed collectibles that are offered for sale. Nothing in this category is more impressive than the huge statues that more and more companies are producing. Whether they are busts, 1/2 bodies, or full figures... these statues are often enough to stop you in you tracks and make you do a double take at just how awesome they really are. Here are a few pics of the ones we saw at the 2013 NY Comic Con, hope you enjoy...

This Goro was like 3 feet!!!1

Sub Zero

Akuma....

Skeletor 1/2 bust... so realistic

The He-Man is cool, but the Beast Man was ridiculous! 

Mortalllllllll KOMBAT!!!!!!

Akuma 1/2 full bust... with GLOWING EYES!!!

Conan.... insane!!!

Sick Judge Death!!!!

'I'd Buy That...As a Tee!' Vol 22

Always on the look out for inspiring art... emblazoned across the chest of humanity. Here's some of the t-shirts I have my eye on to do just the trick but, there's only one problem....they aren't for sale yet! Please click the links below to the Threadless.com voting pages for each and give these beauties '5' ratings so I can throw 'em on my charge card one day.

***Please click READ MORE below for more terrific tees from Threadless!***

First up......'The Zombiepuff Girls'......One of my favorite animated shows of the last generation...consumed by zombies. Ain't nuttin' wrong with that!

'2012'...is rapidly approaching. the end of the world via Mayan calendar, anyone? looks like 'Aliens' were involved as speculated. Where will you be when the Mayan calendar runs out of numerals? Hopefully, wearing THIS shirt will help.

Chucky decides 'I Wanna Be A real Boy' ...and Disney's Pinocchio pays the price. A perfect mash-up....with thrilling indications. I do NOT want to be Gepetto or a giant whale while this dummy is on duh loose.

I have an inherent love of ALL things 'Wizard of Oz' and  'Heart Seeker' tears at those particular heart strings....or shall I say is it RIPS at those heart strings with violent force. Can't wait to see what the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow have in horrific store for me after peeping this one. If I only had a haaaaaaaaaaart....Duh noive......sum brainz!

'Probing Time' speaks for it's goddamn self. Aliens are NOT your friends. They want to dip into your exit as soon as physically possible. Enjoy!

I feel a trilogy coming on. 'Parking Lot Part I' has parked some top of the line, A-List celebs in prime parking. Can You name 'em all? I'll start yaz off

1) 'Back to the Future's DeLorean......

'Back To My Evil Ways' makes it enjoyable to want to conquer the world. All that is good about world domination...on one tee....

'Mortal Kombat' means what it says and says what it means. The original video game should have been called 'Immortal Kombat' compared to this one  'cause this cast is as Mortal as they come. Of particular note is the floppy-teeted over-the-head t-shirt wearer...that comes in yellow and blue... just like Scorpion and Sub-Zero of the original series....same character...diff colors. 

Tees are for me.....are they still for you? Tune in next week, o' wearers of the shirt!

The neat-o polo emblem design contest continues this week over at Threadless ...and here's three that caught my attention.....

'LaZombie' is reminiscent of the LaCoste Gator...only hungrier....much hungrier!

...and 'Zombie Polo' is a great take on the Ralph Lauren Polo design only with a new player on the field.

'Skip the Alligator' includes my favorite 8-bit adventurer, Pitfall Harry in on the pratfalls of a LaCaoste Gator   infested swamp.

'Junk in the Trunk' unexpectedly transforms some of this cross-country traveler's scenery. Love the fatty holding on for his dear life to the trunk carpeting. Tranform...and evacuate!

The 'Mystery Autobot' in question has obviously transformed from the stylish Scooby Doo vehicle...the 'Mystery Machine'. There's a Scooby Doo celebrity mash-up I'd like to see happen.

and there's no mystery as to who's behind this murder by numbers with it's typical cast of so-and-so's in 'Murder Mystery'

'The Birth' of the chest burster from the Alien saga will stop your heart from beating dead in it's tracks!

...and 'Savage Instinct' brings one my favorite DragonBall Z characters Oozaru to life in a delicious shade of purple!

'Raidachu' electrically mashes up two of my  favorite video game icons. Mortal Kombat's Raiden...and Pokemon's Pik-tastic battler Pikachu! Round 1....fight!

Last but, certainly not least my ABSOLUTE favorite this week was 'The Siege' starring my favorite movie theater candy (and sometimes 80's Disney Cartoon characters) the Gummi bears in full-out warfare for color domination. Of his work, the Tee artist had this to say (to my amusement)
"After months of racial tension, the siege of the Red Gummies has begun." Can't all we Gummi's just get along? Or atleast get in my mouth!

...That's all t-shirt wearers! Tee you next time!

Mortal Kombat: Legacy - Episode 9 - Cyrax & Sektor

The end is finally here!!! After a one month wait, the final episode of Mortal Kombat: Legacy was released at this years Comic Con. It features Cyrax & Sektor, two characters I used to love playing as back in the day. This is by far the best of the bunch and you can see why they saved it for last. Here is my thing: If you want to premiere the video at Comic Con, that's cool. Just make sure that you time your release so week 9 hits during Comic Con. Don't release the first 8 early/weekly and then make us suffer for a month. Thanks as always to Exophrine for the tip. 

Freddy Krueger In Mortal Kombat...No Like For Real!

Lot's of big new coming in from SDCC and while this isn't as big a reveal as The Avengers trailer, I think it's pretty damn great.

Warner Brothers Interactive announced that Freddy Krueger will be a playable character available as DLC in the latest Mortal Kombat game.





Pretty cool stuff. A couple of criticisms; it does unfortunately seem that this is not the REAL Freddy, meaning the classic Robert Englund. Rather it's the Jackie Earle Haley version from the recent useless reboot. Guess they still have their hopes set on a sequel and want to keep perpetuating the new product. Also I don't really like the two-handed glove thing. I guess it gives him more weapons but, it's just not how Freddy looks. It's too symmetrical.  It was probably just too much trouble to program him having extra reach on just one hand. That said, I still dig it.

The latest Mortal Kombat game is excellent, and this is another reason to pick it up, or keep playing. I generally don't get much DLC, but this one I will be picking up.

Freddy's inclusion in this game explains Warner Bros. recent request that Freddy and Jason both be removed from the fan made, horror icon fighting game Terrordrome. Their removal caused the whole project to be put on hold permanently. Damn C&D's!!!! Their request sparked rumors that perhaps WB themselves had a game in the works. This seems to be the result.

Can Jason be far behind...

Mortal Kombat: Legacy - Episode 8 - Scorpion & Sub Zero Pt. 2
