Kre-O Sentinel Prime Review
When I was a kid, I was really into LEGO, even more than I was into action figures. As the years went on, though, I noticed the sets were declining in quality, mostly due to the amount of effort they were funneling into the Star Wars sets. As a result, I got more and more [...]

LunchmeatVHS.com
Screw your Blew-Ray Player, VHS is alive and well… but should I really be hipping you to this, or should I be hording all the info in fear of increased competition? Of course I’ll let you in on it (not like anyone reads this anyway) and what better way to see the medium strive than [...]
Wooo Captain! That is one sweet jacket!
Early on Mother’s Day this kid comes in and tells me he found this jacket at a thrift store for 15 bucks… with The Enterprise already painted on the back! What luck.
47 Years of Doctor Who in 6 Minutes
Though FPNYC is now officially old (but young in a cosmic sense!) we haven’t been around quite as long as Doctor Who (47 years and counting!). Catch up on nearly five decades of continuity with this handy dandy video… Nice use of the 11 Doctor Action Figure Set!
Chew coming to Showtime TV
The wildly popular Image comic Chew is now in development for a Showtime television series by the Circle of Confusion company, who are also behind AMC’s The Walking Dead. The show is to be directed by Stephen Hopkins, whose Predator 2 is my personal favorite of the series. Sounds pretty good to me. Here’s a link to the [...]
Check out Wonder Woman’s wonder wear
They released pictures of Adrianne Palicki in full costume from the NBC Wonder Woman reboot, and woo boy are the kids in an uproar. And by kids, I mean John, the self-proclaimed “resident gay who works here”. “At last,” he said. “An outfit that would make Emma Frost say: Pull it back, dear, you look [...]
Two and a Half Stargroves
While were on the subject of Charlie Sheen loosing his job, rumor has it John Stamos might be replacing Sheen on the hit show Two and a Half Men! We all love John from his role as Uncle Jesse on the show Full House, but if you’re looking for a deeper cut to satiate your [...]
Walking Dead DVD/Blu-ray Pre-order
Last night I finally finished watching AMC’s The Walking Dead television show. I know I’m way behind, but I don’t have cable and was having a hard time getting to someone’s house, with cable, who also wanted to watch this. After the first two episodes it just didn’t seem worth the effort to be at [...]
Superbowling for Dollars
The Super Bowl has come and gone. Who won? Who cares? Not I. What I do care about is all those movie trailer premiers. Now most people run down their list of most and least favorites, but honestly that’s a mute point considering they all pretty much sucked. That’s right, I said it, they totally [...]
Munsters from Mars
Rumors of The Munsters remake for NBC have been all over the internet for the past couple months. Helming this project is Bryan Fuller, the man who made death cute with shows like Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies. Now don’t take that the wrong way, I really dug those shows. The only other name [...]
Lookee! for 2/4/11
Fascinating. Science writer Lee Billings has been guest blogging for BoingBoing this week, dissecting NASA’s big Kepler news and exploring other exoplanetary pursuits. Have ya heard the one about Bill Murray at a Bears playoff game? A Song of Ice and Fire comics coming from Dynamite and Bantam. Man this is gonna suck, OR, All [...]
Adios 2010, Hola 2011
