Remember the time Spider-Man wore a Fantastic Four costume and a paper bag on his head?

You remember don't you. His costume got wrecked so he had to wear something else. Did you ever find yourself wishing you had an action figure of Spidey at that time?

That's right. There is now an action figure of him like that from the new Marvel Legends line that debuted at the San Diego Comic Con. I really think they need to check out the definition of Legend!
Still the ones of Terror (above), The Hood (below) and Deadpool and Black Widow (bottom) figures are pretty good.

Max Steel - Another action figure film heading our way

According to Variety Paramount Pictures and Joe Roth are partnering up to bring the Mattel action figure Max Steel to the big screen.

The toy follows a 19-year-old extreme sports junkie who gets picked by a secret agency when his body is taken over by nanobots and he becomes superhuman.

Mattel brought out the character as an action figure in the U.S. in 1999, and it followed that with an animated series that played from 2000-2002. This character gained a lot of traction in Latin America, where Max Steel, in that region, is the No. 1 action figure. Mattel made multiple animated direct-to-DVD features for that market

Mattel hopes that movies can relaunch the toy line in the U.S. and elsewhere.

"A theatrical film plays a significant role to relaunch the franchise," stated Mattel's Vice President of worldwide entertainment marketing and strategy, Barry Waldo. "But we have a strong Latin consumer we're going to keep happy while broadening the franchise for the rest of the world. We wouldn't do ourselves a favor if we turned a blind eye to it. That's the artistic challenge we've got."

Roth is serving as an executive producer on the project.

Currently, Mattel and Roth are looking for a screenwriter and director. The plan is for them to work closely with Mattel to create characters and a storyline that match what the company hopes to do with the property.

Max Steel marks the first film that Mattel has put together at Paramount since it started looking to turn it's toys into big screen vehicles.

G.I. Joe - What will Destro's Mask really look like

Here is an almost proper look at what Destro (Christopher Eccleston) will look like once he masks up in G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra.

I posted some early CGI work on the mask ages ago but this seems a little more updated and looks very nice indeed. Just have to wait and see what it looks like in the film now.

It is the art work from the action figure that UGO managed to get hold of.

Very shiny!

Mighty Muggs - Wolverine, Hellboy, Predator, Batman, Spawn

The always excellent ToysREvil had these photos of some custom painted Mighty Muggs. They were spotted at the 8th Philippine Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention 2009 and are by Likhang Pinoy Customs. I am not sure if the G.I. Joe ones are custom jobs with specially made boxes or whether they are part of the Muggs range.
I think the Hellboy one below is my favourite.

The Black Hole's V.I.N.CENT is 30 and heading our way

It is the 30th Anniversary of Disney's The Black Hole.

The Black Hole is Disney’s 1979 science fiction film about a group of space travelers who come across a long missing spaceship teetering on the edge of a black hole, and their discoveries within the ship and beyond… the vast, empty nothingness where space and time end. Anything that crosses its border enters a universe of the complete unknown or gets smooshed to nothing in the intense gravitational field.

V.I.N.CENT (Vital Information Necessary CENTralized and voiced by Roddy McDowall) was one of the cool robots from the film - the other being the sinister Maximilian, who is one of the all time evil robots.

“The Black Hole” was the Walt Disney Company’s first PG-rated production. Directed by Gary Nelson and starred Maximilian Schell, Anthony Perkins, Robert Forster, Joseph Bottoms, Yvette Mimieux, and last but not least, Ernest Borgnine the motion picture has found a loyal fan base.

To honour the anniversary of the film MINDstyle are working on this new action figure and it looks lovely. Still early days as you can see from the concept work, but it looks like they've started putting them together. I can't wait to see the finished product.

The ending of The Black Hole always freaked me out when I was a kid.

The Touch has been redone for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Remember this song from Transformers: The Movie? It is The Touch by Stan Bush (it also featured in Boogie Nights).

Now after over 20 years, Stan Bush has remade his classic into an all new song for 2009 and hopeful consideration for Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

This new version subtitled "Sam's Theme" captures the indomitable spirit of hero Sam Witwicky, played by Shia LaBeouf, as heard through lyrics and seen through moving images.

It is chocked full of awesome!
