SSC SDCC 2013 RUMORED LIST

So @TheReigner over on twitter brought this to my attention today. While he does not appreciate this list I personally think there is some really great stuff on it. It seems like a really large list so I am curious if this is legit. If this winds up being true we are in for a huge SDCC this year! Some of the stand outs for me are the Spider-Man PF, Juggernaut PF, Apocalypse Com, a slew of new Predator LSBs with bio masks and a bunch of DC 1/6 stuff. Check out the list after the jump and let me know what you guys think. Do you think its legit? What are you excited most for from it?

Edit: 2nd list added of "possible" releases...

IT'S OKAY TO WEAR YOUR UNDERPANTS ON THE OUTSIDE: TheJackSack™ MAN OF STEEL Movie Review

WARNING: FULL-BLOWN SPOILERS. 

MAN OF STEEL is an alien invasion story.  The film has a tragic underlying theme about a once glorious species that literally crumbled under its own ambition in a desperate move to preserve a failed way of life. Without a planet of their own, these aliens make Earth the setting for an internal conflict between two factions: where one man courageously rejects his people's plans to revive their species.  If you took the red S off of that one guy's chest, it might even be a better film because there would be no messing with the fundamentals of the iconic character of Superman.

HOT TOYS AGENT PHIL COULSON REVIEW


I would say I have been a fan of Agent Coulson since sitting in the theater for the first Iron Man flick introducing the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. Little did I know at the time what kind of role Agent Coulson would play going forward, and that I would eventually have my own 1/6 scale figure of him that I would be doing a review on. I did come to realize after each time we saw him appear on screen in subsequent movies that he is the glue that holds the Marvel Cinematic Universe together, which is a concept that becomes even more evident in the Mavel's The Avengers film.

I recall hearing that Joss Whedon would be helming the Avenger's film project and thinking "Man it is really going to suck when he kills off Coulson in the movie" because I know what a bastard Joss Whedon can be when it comes to characters like our dear Agent Phil. (Oh yeah, spoilers for those who haven't yet seen The Avengers) Coulson may be gone (he's not, look at the trailer for Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. show coming soon) but he is certainly not forgotten as Hot Toys has chosen to immortalize the character in 1/6 glory with their MMS 189 release: The Avengers: Agent Phil Coulson figure.

BEHOLD! GENTLE GIANT'S "MAGNITUDE" ADMIRAL ACKBAR MINI-BUST

Gentle Giant announced their SDCC exclusive collectible and its professionalism is far greater than you can possibly imagine.

As Crasis said to me this morning, this bust symbolizes Preorder66 in so many ways. Of course, whenever something excellent like this comes along, it is excruciatingly difficult to acquire. At a limited run of 500 pieces, the "Magnitude" mini-bust will certainly break our fishy-pasta loving hearts. And how much does it cost? Well, that's another sad story, go check out Gentle Giant's page to read the details.

We have a cure for these mini-bust blues. Preorder66 friend/collaborator and resident artist Nik Sardos created an excellent Admiral Ackbar print, available here for purchase! Also, look at his other work!

RICK JAMES AND SY SNOOTLES: TheJackSack™ Tangent Of The Week

This morning, I was blasting Rick James' "Give It To Me Baby" while hanging on every word from my Google Maps app in a desperate search for the nearest gas station to refuel my car. Amidst this chaos, it hit me that the horn section from this song matches perfectly with the one in "Lapti Nek" from RETURN OF THE JEDI. Out of gas, late for work, lost in the tree-lined wilderness of Connecticut, and all I could think was "Holy shit! Did John Williams rip off Rick James? Bitch!"

I eventually got gas but more importantly I found a new perspective on Rick James.


UPDATED WITH VIDEO!!!


A welcome from Ichab0d

Inside the box, with Ichab0d

So, that up there is going to be the name of my new upcoming review section of our little site here. But first a small introduction. I'm Ichab0d. with a zero because the "o" was stolen. or already used, depending on your point of view. I love toys, I love toy design, and I love talking about toys. Sounds interesting you say, well my friend let me tell you more.

HELLO WORLD!

One of our longest running gags finally comes to an end, and with that I welcome you all to Preorder66.com! I can't believe it has been two years since Empire, Crasis, and Jarodimus spoke with me at BotCon about sitting down to record with them once in a while, and two years later here we are.

PREORDER66 IST ZWEI JAHRE ALT!
