This week’s collection goes to Doc.  He’s a big fan of Hot Toys and one of the few that can afford more than one figure per year.  These toys aren’t cheap, they range from $125 – $200.  Besides Hot Toys, he also collects Halo and Gears of War figures.  Oh how I envy Doc. I want those Predator figures!

Name:  Doc

Location: Sin City, Nevada

How did you start your collection?
Since I was a kid, I  have been collecting things including stamps, coins, trading cards and so forth. My other partners got annoyed at the space they took up so …

Before I get to all of the launch party hoopla, I just want to let everyone know that the demo of the game is only a taste of how good this game is.  Okay, now on to the hoopla.

The Event

So, it was my first time going to a launch party for a game. I went with low expectations, but now I love the idea of launch parties. The event’s purpose was to promote Splinter Cell: Conviction, and allow the general public to play the cooperative mode. I was patiently waiting for my turn for an hour and forty minutes. …

I remember being a teenager really getting into arthouse and indie flicks. It happened around the time that Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction came out and independent film went “mainstream”. I’d go downtown to catch foreign and indie flicks with no stars, no budget, and no polish, and I’d like them (for the most part) more than many big budget studio counterparts. For someone who grew up on the mindless right-wing actioners of the generation of greed and slick trash known as the 1980’s, it still seems amazing to this day. I never lost my love of movies but much like my love …

Part of being a collector is the joy I get when I think about my collection.  Finding that hard to get toy or reading the latest issue of Batman always brightens up my day.   Some collect toys, while others collect comics and video games.  In the end, collector’s have one thing in common: passion.

So this week, we’re starting out a new segment: Collectors Society!  (Not to be mistaken for the Justice Society–there’s no Stargirl here!)   We will showcase collections from fellow collectors!

Hot Toys, the company that is taking over the 1/6th industry, released a Wolverine figure.  Many fans have complained that there isn’t enough accessories on this figure and it doesn’t justify the expensive price tag.

Our guest reviewer, Nick, takes an in depth look at Wolverine and see what the fuss is all about:

Let me start out by saying that this is my first “official” review and, more importantly, I’m a huge Wolverine fan so I may be slightly biased, but I’ll try to be as objective as possible throughout this review.  Now, I know the X-Men Origins: Wolverine …

Spike announced the line up for Deadliest Warrior season 2 today, 1st episode airs on April 20th at 10/9c.  I enjoyed the first season.  It was fun seeing how the weapons were used and how much damaged it caused.  Although it was enjoyable, some match ups didn’t  make sense because it was team oriented, like the Yakuza vs. the Italian mob.  They just tested their weapons instead of analyzing their strategies.  For the second season, I hope they change this.  Below is the lineup and my predictions:

SWAT vs. GSG-9
Prediction: I live in Southern Cali and I see the S.W.A.T. …

For Reservoired Dog, watching Prince Of Persia two months early at Showest 2010 wasn’t enough.  He trekked the convention floors discovering the latest and greatest technology theater gadgets.  Along the way, he mingled with celebs such as The Rock, Jeniffer Lopez, Katherine Heigl and Neil Patrick Harris.  Check out the pics below of the showroom and the celebs (some pics are blurry because they were strict with flash).

2010 ShoWest Photo Gallery can be found here with more pics of the event including Vanessa Hudgens and Billy Bob Thornton.

Lady Gaga has a popular new video out called “Telephone” with Beyonce that is extremely controversial (to say the least). The explicit video has transvesites, partial nudity, and mass murder during a disturbing scene where a bloated, unshaven Tyrese is poisoned by Gaga and Beyonce’s “Honey B”……probably because of poor acting, but is the video deeper and more sinister than it appears on the surface? A website called vigilantcitizen.com would have you believe so.

The all-seeing eye beckons me to buy overpriced Lady Gaga earphones !

Mr Vigilant (no one knows his real name, but at least he gets high speed …

“I finally got my kids excited about what I’m doing.”
Michael Massimino – Repair Astronaut for the Hubble Space Telescope – talking about the Hubble 3D trailer that was shown before his screening of Avatar.

Let me get this out of the way, Hubble 3D was a better Imax 3D experience than Avatar (even though I loved it). And it has Leonardo DiCaprio narrating to boot. But with a name like Hubble 3D I feel this will deter the non-geeky folks from seeing this. But that’s why I’m here to tell you that you’ll love this experience. It’s time to bring …
