"It's about time!", cried the masses.

Sideshow Toys in collaboration with Hot Toys has developed two new bodies which will be used with their upcoming figures. The bodies look very similar to the existing Hot Toys body (which is one of, if not *the* best bodies on the market). Take a peek:

New modern figure from DML. It's been awhile since they ventured into modern era figures. Hopefully they continue.

Coming (not so) soon! Cloverfield's antagonist in plastic form for your enjoyment!

(NEW PICTURE ADDED 2/15/2008! View full article for a peek!)

Being made by Hasbro, the monster will sport the following features:

* 70 points of articulation and incredible life-like detail
* Authentic sound
* 14” tall
* 10 parasites
* Two interchangeable heads
* Statue of Liberty head accessory
* Special Cloverfield collector’s edition packaging

Slated for release on 9/30/2008 it'll be a while before you get to hold one.

Good to see you again. It's been a while. Okay I can't lie. I've been absent as well. The holidays came and went and I became involved with The Orange Box which includes Half Life 2 as well as Portal, Team Fortress 2, and a little game called Peggle Extreme.

Southern Island has filed for bankruptcy.

So maybe you're a big fan of Aliens...or maybe you're a Marvel Legends collector...or maybe you're both. Well, you might be pleased to find that there is a Power Loader that includes a Ripley figure from the famous end battle in the "Aliens" movie. They're 1/12 scale which means they'll be about the right size to display with your Marvel Legends figures. If you have the cash, you can pick one up HERE.

Very cool work-in-progress pics on OSW from Crusader1xxx. He's built a mini sub in 1/6 scale with working lights and all sorts of cool details. Check it out!

Okay, I'll lead you to a pretty nifty free game. Take a look at Pioneers of Aethora. It's a free to play browser based game. As it's stated on the Pioneers of Aethora site: Pioneers of Aethora is a web-based turn-based strategy role-playing game

...and they have domestic problems just like everyone else. Take a peek at the video if you need a laugh. It's good stuff. Watch for the special annoying guest appearance. :)
