The new trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim, which might be the summer blockbuster we’re looking forward to most at LIAS. We have big hopes for the Spanish filmmaker’s latest, and each trailer seems to get better and better (check out the previously posted first trailer, CES extended trailer and Wondercon trailer). Pacific Rim hits theaters [...]

Die cast metal homage to the classic Japanese giant robot

If you grew up in New England you might remember a show called Force Five. In it, each day a separate Japanese cartoon would play inspiring a bunch of Masshole kids to become wicked influenced by Giant Robots. These proto-anime shows included Gai King and Starvengers, but Mondays belonged to Planet Robot Danguard Ace. Well [...]

Their Chaos Bunny collection — designed by the great Joe Ledbetter — continues to grow, this time with a swarthy character dubbed Pirate Bunny. The eye patch donning, sword swinging, [...]

Similar in style to the “Oroshi 18″ action figure and “WWRp [...]


There is not a movie in (post) production that we are more amped up for than Pacific Rim. We’ve already shown the first trailer, as well as the CES extended trailer, and now it’s time for Part III. In case you don’t know, Guillermo Del Toro’s sci-fi thriller revolves around an inter-dimensional breach that’s allowed [...]


To be honest, I was never a big fan of Masters Of the Universe.

(I would also put Thundercats in this groupthink advertorial category, although the animation [...]


Balkan Vinyl’s limited edition Rave Wars 7″, repressed on translucent red vinyl, are only for pilgrims of the heavyweight nerd variety. Rave Wars alludes directly to one of almost everyone’s favorite films (except mine), blending the action figures from the original Star Wars movie with hardcore/breakbeat techno, often overlaying sound effects from the film.
