Have you ever seen Chappie looking so adorable? This robot looks great in Chibi form. This 3 1/2-inch tall chibi figure comes with a clear display base. Chappie has his throwing star and is wearing his gold chains. This belongs on my desk.
Imagine if CHAPPiE could turn into a motorcycle Transformers style. Well, that movie would have been much different if he had that ability. Automotive designer and illustrator Tamás Jakus has imagined this for us. This motorcycle design looks just like CHAPPiE if he were running with Optimus Prime and company.
It is based on a Triumph bike and has a CHAPPiE headlight, his antennae on the back seat and the robot’s overall color scheme. It is absolutely perfect. Now I want one. If this were a toy I would buy it in a heartbeat. The design is just brilliant.

Fans of Chappie will enjoy this. Image Engine is the special effects company that worked on Neill Blomkamp’s Chappie. This is their VFX breakdown reel that shows how they transformed Sharlto Copley into Chappie himself. It isn’t as easy or straightforward as you might think.
Copley had to be taken out of each frame of the film that he was in. It’s a pain but, his being there allowed the rest of the cast to react to his movements, so it was totally worth it. I think it worked pretty well in this movie. You’ll want to watch it all the way through to get all of the cool details.
If you enjoyed Neill Blomkamp’s Chappie, you are going to love reading Chappie: The Art of the Movie. This book is full of interesting facts about the movie and it has tons of awesome images. Check out the video below to get a preview.
This large oversized hardcover artbook is written by Peter E. Aperlo, and published by Titan Books. It has 160 pages that will keep fans engrossed. It has everything from behind-the-scenes photographs, film stills, concept art and entertaining production stories. This is a must have for fans of Blomkamp’s movies.
This Chappie Scout 22 1:6 Scale Action Figure stands 12-inches tall and has LED light-up features! He is also fully articulated, right down to his fingers. Not only is this figure highly detailed, it also includes 2 interchangeable facial expressions, real cables on his neck and waist, and LED lights in the front eye shield and right side of Chappie’s face. He also has his highly detailed AKS-74M assault rifle.
This is probably the best Chappie figure you can buy right now and it is going to look insane in your collection.
Neill Blomkamp working on an Alien movie? I like that idea. Can you even imagine what such a movie would look like? Well, just check out these images. The other day he posted some concept art from an Alien project that he was working on.
Apparently he was not working on this for the studio officially, but just for kicks. Now I just want to see this movie come to life. It would have been a wild ride, that’s for sure. Excuse me while I stare at these images for a few hours and dream of what could have been.
