Eeek! This M3GAN Is Real!

Eeek! This M3GAN Is Real!

, , , 0

What if some fool got ahold of the designs for M3GAN and recreated the doll in real life? We’d all be doomed, wouldn’t we? Fortunately, no one’s that dumb, not even Elon Musk. No, wait….someone IS! SHE’S HERE! AAAAAAAAHHH! M3GAN was a surprise hit for Universal two years ago. Films that are dumped in January are usually there because the studio has little faith in them, and they tend to be horror films, so they all blend together and make little money. M3GAN defied the odds, though. After everyone witnessed this mechanical killer doing TikTok dances before lunging at someone in an office building, they had to know more, and now there’s a sequel coming next year. M3GAN has made it! Getting to the point, collectible merchandisers NECA have licensed the property to create a life-size M3GAN, proportioned just as she would be in the film. They say the sculpt is 100% exact: it is “based on M3GAN’s on-screen appearance, duplicated from actual film-used digital files to be the most

Celebrate Spring With A Lovely Blossoming Demogorgon

Celebrate Spring With A Lovely Blossoming Demogorgon

, , , 0

Spring is officially in the air, the birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing. What better way to accent the blossoming flowers in your backyard than with the flower-like maw of the Demogorgon? Collectible figurine merchants Mondo will be offering this new likeness of Stranger Things’ iconic monster this July, but opened preorders today. Close examination reveals this Demogorgon has had an interesting day. The most obvious element is the Christmas lights wrapped around its arm…how do you wager that happened? Did he try to emerge through Joyce’s wall and got tangled? And then consider that same arm seems to be holding a HUMAN SKULL. Did….uh, did he get Joyce this time? He’s also got a bear trap clamped to his foot, and it’s hard to tell from the front, but there’s a bat with nails in it embedded in his back, suggesting he ran into Steve at one point. The Demogorgon is fully poseable and you can close its mouth shut if you desire, like so: But that’s not

The Mega 95: A Handheld Sega Genesis

The Mega 95: A Handheld Sega Genesis

, , , 1

Hyperkin, manufacturer of “clone consoles” like the Retron 5 that play video game cartridges from the 80s and 90s, is cooking up something new: a handheld device that will play those cartridges. Specifically the Sega Genesis, or Mega Drive as it was known outside America. They’re actually the second company to think of such an idea…the first was Sega themselves, who released a handheld called the Nomad in 1995. Hyperkin is calling theirs the “Mega 95” (get the references?) Like the Nomad, you can take it on the go OR use it as an actual Genesis console by plugging it into the TV. Keep in mind: the Nomad had no Sega CD or 32X support and neither will this. Is the Mega 95 for you? Well, that depends. Hardcore retro gamers prefer clone consoles with FPGA chips, which have the technology to reproduce the performance of the original perfectly (without slowdown or input lag). Hyperkin’s clone consoles don’t use FPGA…they run on emulation instead. They are not actually using the

Finally, A Game Controller You Can Eat

Finally, A Game Controller You Can Eat

, , , , 4

Microsoft just announced a game controller made entirely out of chocolate. It’s about time, right? But wait a minute….is such a thing functional? Sadly, no. And alas, even if it was, it would quickly melt in your lap and create a sticky mess. Be careful what you wish for, I guess. The chocolate controller’s true purpose is to promote a movie — Warner Bros’ Wonka, due out later this year. The question of whether or not a prequel to the beloved 1971 classic is necessary is best left for an article about the film itself. This is about a chocolate XBox. But it’s not a commercial product — you won’t find it under the tree, even if you’ve been good. The only way you can get the chocolate XBox controller is to win a contest, just like Charlie Bucket had to do to get inside Wonka’s factory. Entry requires following the official XBox account on Twitter and retweeting the post hyping the contest. This means the Veruca Salts of the

Columbia Sportswear To Sell Luke Skywalker’s Flight Suit

Columbia Sportswear To Sell Luke Skywalker’s Flight Suit

, , , 4

Real-world recreations of Star Wars outfits are nothing new (just ask the cosplay community) but few efforts go as elaborate as what Columbia Sportswear is trying. They’re introducing the SkyWalker Pilot Collection, inspired by the flight suit Luke wore at various points during the Star Wars trilogy, Empire Strikes Back specifically. The collection consists of nine pieces, including the bright orange Pilot Ski Suit, the Ski Jacket, a pair of snow goggles, a lightweight version of the jacket, a pullover, long-sleeve and short-sleeve shirts, a fanny pack and a ball cap. To promote the line, Columbia has paid off NASCAR’s Bubba Wallace to wear some of these things on the track, as well as drive around in a No. 23 car design inspired by the Red Five X-Wing Starfighter. The Skywalker Pilot Ski Suit (MSRP: $500) – A special-edition one-piece ski suit inspired by Luke Skywalker’s iconic flight suit and built for epic snow days with Omni-Tech waterproof breathable fabric, ski pass pocket and thermal reflective lining.  And Star Wars fans will

Funko Announces Five Nights at Freddy’s FightLine Game

Funko Announces Five Nights at Freddy’s FightLine Game

, , , , , 5

It’s doubtful any of the kids playing Five Nights At Freddy’s today have any point of reference for what the game is based on. Pizza parlors with animatronic characters singing ancient radio hits used to be everywhere, but they’ve gradually been scaled back over the decades — Chuck E Cheese no longer has an actual robot Chuck E. The closest Generation Alpha can get to that experience is a video game where the animatronics come to life after dark and stalk you. But there will be soon more than one way to experience FNAF. A feature film is on the way this October, and around that same time, Funko Games will also be putting out a tabletop version of Freddy Fazbear’s rampage of terror. In Five Nights at Freddy’s FightLine, there’s no night watchman to bother (maybe they killed him already)…so Freddy and the others will have to settle for fighting each other! Two to four players take control of Fazbear, Chica the Chicken, Foxy the Pirate and others in

The Many Pieces Of Mr. Coo Goes Physical Thanks To VGNYsoft

The Many Pieces Of Mr. Coo Goes Physical Thanks To VGNYsoft

, , , 5

VGNYsoft is a new player in the collectible physical video game scene. So far they’ve printed 13 titles across PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch; a library that includes Hyper Sentinel, Crisis Wing, Galactic Wars EX, Demoniaca and others. They’ve just announced their latest acquisition, and it may be their wildest one yet (yes, even wilder than Yuppie Psycho: Executive Edition). VGNY is partnering with Meridem Games in Europe to physicalize The Many Pieces Of Mr. Coo on Switch and PS5. It’s an incredibly surreal point-and-click adventure title where you have to help the titular character get himself together…literally. If you can find his pieces in each world, you’ll be home free…that is, if you can get past the insane puzzles and wacky characters in his way. Mr. Coo was created by animator and director Nacho Rodríguez, and has starred in several of his shorts. This is the first video game to star Mr. Coo. Rodríguez has been nominated to the Goya Awards for his short film “A lifestory” and was

The Following Intellectual Properties Are Now Ducks, Thanks To Tubbz

The Following Intellectual Properties Are Now Ducks, Thanks To Tubbz

Someone out there became rich when they discovered if you take any character and turn it into a small rubber duck, people will buy it. That was the philosophy the Tubbz line was founded on, and they have duckified such beloved IPs as Dungeons & Dragons, Power Rangers, Metal Gear Solid, Jurassic Park, My Hero Academia and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Now they turn their practice toward video game demigods, starship captains and pop song obsessed trolls. Captain Janeway Duck: Janeway was having a bad enough day after Paramount completely wiped all traces of her animated series Star Trek: Prodigy from the universe, just before she was about to premiere her second season. But THEN, on top of everything else, she ended up piloting her ship too fast, forgetting that if you travel at a fast enough warp speed, you turn into a duck. How will she get out of this one? Janeway sighs and slurps hot coffee with her bill. God of War Ragnarok Ducks: Kratos and his son

Crunchyroll Declares This Month “Ani-May”

Crunchyroll Declares This Month “Ani-May”

Happy first of the month! It’s not just May, it’s not just Mer-May, but it’s also Ani-May according to Crunchyroll. The distributor will be partnering with mall merchant Hot Topic to introduce new products and merch as well as special giveaways. These will include the most popular properties Crunchyroll licenses, including Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, Cowboy Bebop and Death Note, as well as something called “Toilet Bound Hanako-kun” (that brings up some interesting mental images). Anyone who buys an anime-themed product from Hot Topic this month will receive a free 30-day trial offer of Crunchyroll Premium, delivered in the form of a sticker with a redemption code printed on it. “Anime is a global phenomenon, capturing the hearts and minds of fans all over the world. To celebrate this dynamic medium, we’ve curated an incredible lineup of products with best-in-class retail partners that will help the anime community express their fandom not just in Ani-May, but all year long,” said Anna Songco Adamian, Vice President, Global

The Steam Deck Is Getting Some Competition

The Steam Deck Is Getting Some Competition

, , , 7

The backlog of Steam Deck preorders at Valve has finally gone down to the point where you can order one and receive it in a relatively short amount of time. But it’s still selling. The Deck is a certified success….and with all successes come imitators. High-end PC manufacturer ASUS has just announced they’ll be introducing their own handheld PC gaming device to the market, which they call the “ROG Ally.” ASUS actually made this announcement on April 1, but no one reported on it because they weren’t certain if it was real. That was Marketing Mistake #1. Mistake #2 is that ugly name…what is a “ROG Ally” anyway? Turns out ROG is an acronym for ASUS’ sub-brand “Republic of Gamers,” making it a real cringe name no matter how you say it. The Steam Deck is great…sometimes. It shines as an emulation device, able to handle any past generation up to PS3 with ease. But when it comes to actually playing the library of games on Steam — the task

Freaky Helmet From The Aquaman Movie Now Purchasable

Freaky Helmet From The Aquaman Movie Now Purchasable

, , , , , 6

Currently WB is throwing all its marketing muscle behind Shazam 2: Fury of the Gods, one of the last DC pictures made under the old rules of “throw anything at the wall and see what sticks.” It’s not the LAST of these though — Aquaman 2 is still going to be a thing, and it comes out later this year. The first Aquaman did well for WB, enough that merchandise from the first film is still being introduced in the shadow of the second. One of the weirdest examples we’ve seen just crossed our desk this morning: a replica of Black Manta’s bug-eyed helmet, from Factory Entertainment. This is an approximation of the helmet the villainous Black Manta (played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) shoved over his head in the feature. The eyes light up and it makes “authentic sound effects” from the Aquaman movie. What use does it serve? Barring the collapse of society and the necessity of wearing a light-up helmet to conceal your identity as you fight crime,

Cryptozoic Announces Release Of “The Batman” Stylized Batmobile

Cryptozoic Announces Release Of “The Batman” Stylized Batmobile

, , , , , , 9

It’s anyone’s guess how James Gunn will handle Batman in the new DCU, but we’re running out of ways to interpret the Dark Knight without repeating ourselves. The big screen has seen a super-campy Batman and a super-serious Batman. Last summer’s “The Batman” found its own reason to exist by focusing more on Mr. Wayne’s detective skills (and it’s not dead, “The Batman Part II” is still happening, it just won’t be part of the main DCU). With every Batman movie comes a new Batmobile, and eventually, a fan-targeted collectible of that vehicle. Cryptozoic just revealed their The Batmobile and put it up for immediate sale. From what we remember, the Pattinson-Mobile looked rather normal compared to the Bat-machines of movies past. This required Cryptozoic to get a bit…creative with their interpretation. Cryptozoic describes the style they went with as “through the lens of the hot rod-influenced style of Kustom Kulture art from the 1960s.” In other words, if Rat Fink were a billionaire who dressed as a bat at
