There’s not much that surprises me, but I was taken aback that Paste Pot Pete is making a comeback via the Marvel Superhero Squad cartoon on the Cartoon Network. Is there a toy version? If so, I haven’t seen it. Gotta have it. Gotta.
So….I’m not too hyped up about Transformers 2. Actually, that’s more than a small understatement. I see absolutely no reason to see Transformers 2, as everything I’ve seen thus far looks exactly like the first movie (thanks, Michael Bay). That doesn’t stop me from lovin’ the toys, though, and the one pictured above is just full-on awesome. Constructicons are cool enough on their own, but combined into Devastator they make the must-own toy of the summer, if I can figure out how to put it together…
A lot of fans out there have been campaigning for genre superstar Nathan Fillion to fill the emerald boots of Green Lantern.
Well, Youtube wunderkind Jaron Pitts has taken one step further, with a truly awesome fan trailer, incorporating the Firefly alumnus as well as Kilowog, Tomar-Re, and the Guardians of Oa:
Now according to Pitts’ notes, he’s used clips from more than two dozen propertes, ranging from the Fountain to Iron Man to G.I. Joe, to make this awesome trailer. Talk about some awesome work, right? If you dig it, click the link above and rank him high!

Just in case you wanted to see all of the Joe videos in one place:
Two things I have never been much of a fan of: the 80s incarnation of G.I. Joe and anything produced lately for the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. The tiny-action-figured version of Joe came a little late for my generation, and though I admit to watching a few episodes its childish character names and disregard for the old Joe of my childhood made it fairly easy to disregard.
On the opposite end, Adult Swim has become so “experimental” I can hardly keep my food down while watching it. Do we really need to spend money on programming like “Xavier: Renegade Angel”? Are potheads really this desperate for entertainment?
Imagine my surprise, then, when I discovered that writer-extraordinaire Warren Ellis has been handed the keys to the animated Joe kingdom and has produced a new online mini-series titled “G.I. Joe: Resolute.”
No spoilers here. Promise. But I’ve just watched the first episode, and it is absolutely, positively the best thing I’ve seen with the Joes, ever. Yeah, some of the voice work stinks(don’t know why all of the Joes have to sound like professional wrestlers-maybe that’s a throwback to the old series), but the story is strong and it will most likely put the upcoming movie to shame. Two episodes are already online. Catch ‘em soon!
BIG HUGE TREMENDOUS props to a LEGO builder supreme who completed this Battle Cruiser Yamato replica. If you think this image is impressive, wait until you see the other views.

If you’re reading this blog, chances are you’ve spent at least a few afternoons taking in Batman: The Animated Series. If so, you probably have some fond memories of Mark Hamill’s portrayal of the caped crusader’s nemesis, the Joker. Rejoice, Joker fans, as Eidos and Warner Bros. Interactive have confirmed to Joystiq that Hamill will be reprising his role as the Joker in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum. Also joining the voice cast will be Kevin Conroy, who has voiced Batman in just about every Batman cartoon under the sun.
Now let’s just hope the rest of the game is up to snuff.

Children’s book author Adam Rex created this, and in spite of myself I can’t stop myself from watching it… kinda like a gamma bomb explosion.
Mattel, in an effort to raise money for children’s AIDS charities, is auctioning off this absolutely brilliant take on Pixar’s Mater from the movie Cars. Just in time for Halloween, too! While I’m happy to see this effort raising money for kids, I really wish they’d mass market these.
