Fantastic Four Concept Designs Reveal HERBIE The Robot

Fantastic Four Concept Designs Reveals HERBIE The Robot
If you were disappointed with Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four movie, you were far from alone. One thing that we didn’t see in the movie was HERBIE the robot. Apparently the robot was to be in the movie at one point. Not that this would have helped any.

HERBIE stands for Humanoid Experimental Robot, B-type, Integrated Electronics. Thanks to concept artist Fausto De Martini we have some concept designs showing us what we missed out on. He is literally a robot sitting on a soccer ball. He also has LEGO parts. I’m guessing it was to be built by Reed Richards as a kid in the film. Or maybe as an adult. I mean most of us never grow out of LEGO. It’s kind of cool, but it also feels like something is off about it.

Forbidden Planet Blaster 1:1 Scale Prop Replica

Forbidden Planet Blaster
If you are planning a trip to Altair IV, pack a blaster. Forbidden Planet is a sci-fi classic. I don’t need to tell you that. But if you have never seen the film, you are really missing out. This Forbidden Planet Blaster 1:1 Scale Prop Replica is a full size prop replica of the sidearm carried by the United Planets crew. It looks like they paid attention to every detail.

This blaster has a metal look and is made of resin with a custom acrylic nose cone. When you pull the trigger the cone lights up just like it did on screen. It comes with a custom display base and is limited to just 600 pieces worldwide. This one is going to look great on display.

Well, check out this new mashup from YouTuber Tony D. It has audio from The Martian trailer mixed with video from Pixar’s WALL-E. The second video is a shot by shot comparison with The Martian’s real trailer. They did an excellent job on this one.

Ralph McQuarrie Stormtrooper Statue Now Available

Ralph McQuarrie Stormtrooper Statue Now Available
At last we can pre-order the Ralph McQuarrie Stormtrooper Statue. Without Ralph McQuarrie’s conceptual drawings and paintings, Star Wars would have been a completely different experience. His vision helped to shape the world that George Lucas had created. This awesome Stormtrooper was inspired by Ralph McQuarrie’s pre-production artwork for Star Wars: A New Hope.

This 1:5th scale soldier of the Empire looks amazing. He has several display options: carrying a shield in one hand while wielding a lightsaber or blaster in the other, and he also has distinctive helmets and armor that more closely resembled fighter pilot gear than the final costumes seen in the film. McQuarrie’s Stormtrooper design comes to life at last in statue form.

Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome – CG Ship Interiors Before And After


Visual effects artist Doug Drexler recently uploaded this cool demo reel from BSG: Blood and Chrome, showing off the before and after of the CG ship interiors. What strikes me most is just how little the actors had to work with on set. Most of the shots shown here are almost entirely green screen with very few real world objects. It all came together impressively in the end.
