Gentle Giant Deadpool Statue Preview?

When I posted the Black Cat preview from Gentle Giant earlier, I mentioned the announcement from the Gentle Giant homepage – this image of Deadpool was one of the teasers. They’ve already built out the categories of Marvel products, and there’s one called “Statues w/Vehicles” – I imagine that this is going to go in that category, and it is an awesome start.

As you may know, I’ve been a fan of Deadpool and his scooter for some time now. (Please pardon the link to my “dead as that guy Deadpool shot” customs website.)

Transformers: Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime and Promotion

We’re just under four months to go before Transformers: Dark of the Moon hits theaters (on July 1), and that’s just enough time to kick off sixteen weeks of promotion for the movie and its accompanying toys. Optimus Prime, naturally, is the first figure from Dark of the Moon to hit shelves, and it will come with some glasses that will let you check out your favorite Transformers in 3D on Hasbro’s Transformers website.

That’s a nice tie-in for the movie, which should be a 3D extravaganza, but those glasses (of the red and blue variety) won’t be the same kind that will work in the theater. But Hasbro also plans on releasing Transformers role play gear in partnership with Real3D that will work in the movies (but not on the Hasbro website). I already have 3D equipment built into my head – I can’t wait for the technology that will display 3D images without the need for glasses of any kind. 🙂
