Advanced application order; available only in limited countries

Since the new Godzilla film took over multiplexes everywhere this summer, it’s no wonder that the likeness of fire-breathing megalizard is all over the place, like here and here. It was only a matter of time until Medicom released a Bearbrick version upon your desktop, too. Advanced purchase orders are being accepted now for the […]

A nuclearized city terrorizer you can cuddle

So the latest spin on Godzilla may not quite be worth its weight in gold (although it is a pretty penny, for sure), but it is down for the teddy-cuddle in the face of even more threatening monsters under the bed. Steiff, makers of toys since 1902 has now teamed up with Godzilla, maker of  menace […]


What do you do when a million-dollar Goldzilla crashes your town? Either crack out your diamond King Kong or get the hell out of the dodge on your million-dollar bike. Japanese luxury jewelers Ginza Tanaka have apparently gotten bored with wedding bands and moved on to everyone’s favorite nuked up  — and now flossed out — lizard. […]

For the inaugural edition of Rock (Poster Art) Gods! we’re kicking things off with Dan Stiles, a 15+ year veteran laying it down from his studio in sunny Portland, Oregon. We loved Dan’s interview, […]

Why can't a natural disaster kill Roland Emmerich? Too much cosmic justice??

Usually I only post trailers for movies that I’m excited for, but this time I make the exception for the brilliant auteur that is Roland Emmerich. Yes, that Mr. Emmerich, director of some of the past 15 year’s best films: Godzilla, Independence Day, Universal Soldier, 10,000 BC. Oh wait a second — all those sucked. […]


I’m not sure what I’m having a harder time contemplating — that this movie actually exists, or that it has never been created before. Genius, on some super-twisted-mental-fucked-up sense. All I know is I will be all over Big Man Japan (Dai Nipponjin in Japan) when it plays in LA and New York this March […]
