Short and sweet....

Gbnews shows off new Ghostbuster figures from Diamond Select.

Holy… crap!

Here’s your first look at Ray and Winston from Diamond Select Toys upcoming Ghostbusters line:

These look amazing. They blow those over price Mattey collector crap(which I refused to buy) out of the water. Since these have been announced I have seen a mass listing of the Mattey collector ones. These are going to be around $25. A bit steep if its just for one but at least they look great. I hope DS can make a Ecto with some lights like they did with BTTF and Kitt.

Crooked Ninja drops the bomb that the classic 6 inch Shredder and Krang have been canned.

Through a brief convo on Twitter with Pixel Dan info surfaced that the TMNT 6″ Classic Collection Krang and Shredder have been cancelled as of right now. Dan was at Toy Fair so he has first-hand knowledge of what is going on with Playmates via their reps present so I take his word as fact. He mentions that there may only be a glimmer of hope of seeing them once the new movie hits.

NOOOOO! Loved the the original 4 turtles which I own. My guess is the movie 6 inch turtles bombed bad which caused these to be axed. I didn't think the movies edition looked good at all. Might be some small hope these see the light of day.

OMG a Super Mario World playing BMO!

Well now you can on this Handheld Adventure Time BMO Raspberry Pi Emulator by3Derp. I’m not going to explain everything here (mainly because I can’t), the links below have been provided by the builder and go in to all the nitty gritty build details. 

Get some awesome nostalgia wax packs from TopHatSasquatch! Cult Film Club discuses a favorite of mine Mannequin. It was one I watched with my mother many times. We still quote it. I can watch these Board James videos all day(board games fans who like F words..this is a must).

@theAFICIONAUTO did a great youtube video with the Hoff and a kitt replica
Its fun to see Hoff and Kitt together again but I am purest at heart and I am not a fan of the LED scanner and the tinted windows. Outside of that I will say it is a beautiful replica since they are hard to complete since finding a good Trans Am is tough and the part are crazy $$$.

The Ghostbuster ride that didn't happen.. Why god?!? This thing looks like it would have been a ton of fun.

Looks like the Disney Toy Story ride. I rode it and was great. Would have been even better if it.. WAS GHOSTBUSTERS! To bad the project got lost in the shuffle.

Batman-News has some nice news on the upcoming Batman vs Superman film. Nolan is helping with the project and Jena Malone as Robin? This is looking more and more like the Dark Knight Returns. The more it is the better.

The Angry Video Game Nerd reviews the terrible NES Beetle Juice game. He also did a two part James and Mike Mondays on one of my favorite SNES games Castlevania 4!
There isn't much to not like about this game. If you never played it, please do. Its a perfect play in October.

IS this true? Yes its true... This movie has no Dick
Ughhhhhh.. I'm sorry this just sounds like a GB spoof. I was hoping for a reboot or almost anything but this. This news is pretty much the same level of disappointment as hearing Bay was doing TMNT.

Over at the Sewer Den they checked out the Turtles in Time art.
Some outstanding pieces of tmnt art. So many different styles.

5 spooky action figures from Dino Dracula. Branded goes Monster Squad crazy. CFC does Streets of Fire. Need a Sweet TMNT Turtle Head Key Chain?

Crooked Ninja rants about the new TMNT movie..

For a property aimed at kids these turtles are scary as hell. They literally look like roughed up Hulks shoved into battle damaged turtle shells. Their Shrek faces make no attempt at appealing to anyone which may or may not be caused by the absurd amount of growth hormone (mutagen) running through them.

Mikey: Trying way too hard to be funny. Uncomfortably horny.

Donny: Cliche geek. Oddly frog like. Needs glasses because turtles have nearsightedness.

Leo: Bland. Absolutely devoid of character. Has swords!!

Raph: Roid rage mixed with bouts of crying. Can throw shipping containers.

These versions of the turtles are like bad caricatures of what the turtles should be. They strip them down to the most simple form then add a bunch of garbage to them for appeal. Oh look Raph has some sick Ray Bans! You can’t just have them yell “Cowabunga” in the end for a cheap pop. Try harder.

I have to give him credit. He has always kept a open mind going into this movie and I was hating on it from the second I heard Bay was in charge. So its what we thought it was going to be.. A piece of shit Turtle movie that will hang with Turtles 3 as the worst of the bunch.

Crooked also shares about what looks to be a pretty awesome Turtle Doc.
It was released Aug 12th and I hope to watch it very soon. Maybe I will post my thoughts on it after viewing it. Pretty excited to see it.

Branded got his hands on the 30th Anniversary Ghostbusters record. Man I wish I would have picked this up.

 typically not an avid collector of albums on vinyl since I don’t own a turntable and have pretty much all my favorite music at my fingertips digitally, but the allure of a glow in the dark Ghostbusters album that would look pretty darn rad up on the wall of Branded HQ was a bit too much for me to pass up!

The record looks great and I am pretty bummed I didn't get my hands on one.

Dinosaur Dracula got their hands on a 1986 Toys R us ad. Pretty great stuff.

If you’re my age, these were your first iPads. Speak & Spell, Speak & Read and Speak & Math were battery-operated handhelds that taught kids spelling, reading and, uh, mathing. I haven’t played with them in decades, but I can still remember their crude sound effects and weird robot voices.

I always wanted one soooo bad but my parents didn't care about helping me become a better student. I guess they knew I was a Dyslexic and had no hope anyway.

Top Hat Sasquatch Reviews TMN..errrrr Guardians of the Galaxy.

The opinions I’ve read from the people I trust basically let me know that the movie is terrible, and honestly all the people I’ve had telling me it’s good have had to preface their recommendations with things like “If you don’t think about it…” or “It’s just the Turtles…” which is bullshit to me.

We think a like. Unless my son forces me to watch it down the line. I doubt I see this. I just can't.

 I could ramble for days about how much I love this movie, but the bottom line is that everything about this movie is well done. It’s written well, the direction, cinematography, and visual effects are all to notch, and the characters are great. Chris Pratt is perfect as Star-Lord and this movie will be seen as a defining moment in his career.

I pretty much agree with everything here. The movie was amazing and this movie will basically launch Chris Pratt into outer space.

Mike and James review the new TMNT. Same result... Not good. Mattel doing more Ghostbuster figures. They have done such a poor job with this line. I hope Neca gets the licence back. We will see. 38 bucks gets you the best Rom NES controller I've seen yet. MUST HAVE ONE!!!
