With the release of Activision's and Marvel's Ultimate Alliance right around the corner, ign has revealed the alternate costumes to the main characters in the game. Seems like each character is able to use four costumes, but also each costume has their own stats. Pretty cool concept compared to years of Capcom just cutting and pasting costumes to give you the feel of more characters. To check out the outifits just click here .
The last two weeks have been a bitch for us. Chris left to go to England, Dan has been sick along with his daughter and wife, I have been working over time, and Melanie had a car wreck. Melanie is doing great, but her car was totaled when she hydroplaned into a rock wall. With all these things happening we haven't had time to do a podcast. But, I promise that we will be back bitching and praising about comics (hopefuly by Monday!). So I leave you with this idea, go back and listen to episode 1 and see how mature we have become. Ohh, and you thought we hated Civil War? This is from the upcoming writer of White Tiger Tamora Pierce . After reading that, I think I'm going to be picking up White Tiger and this month's issue of Oprah!
There seems to be a Marvel Legends Giant Man series Havoc variant over seas. He is wearing his current costume designed by Salvador Larroca. You can click here to go to a place that is selling the figure. There is no word wether Toy Biz plans on releasing the figure here in the states.
Not the real war, but rather the big event at Marvel comics Civil War! I am however confused by these figures that are being released in October. These Resin figure dioramas claim to be based on Marvel's "Civil War" comic series. But I have no idea where that idea comes from. For one, the X-men are no where to be seen (I am not taking that X-men: Civil War seriously, not that I am the main title), let alone in their Jim Lee costumes. They each stand 7" tall and come with interlocking bases for head-to-head battle or when combined with Series 2 figures, form a massive circle of destruction! Each figure is limited production of 800-1,200 units per style worldwide. All were designed and sculpted by Digger of Art Asylum. The retail price for these puppies is $70 each! They are very anime influenced and actually look really good and the idea of interlocking bases is perfect for these, but come on Civil War Dioramas?!!! Who are you trying to fool? You can find more information at Popboxcollectibles .
About damn time! Omar and I catch up on e-mails, chat a bit about Botcon, and cover some of the announcements and books that came out during our hiatus.
