Predator Dark Horse Comic Book 8-Inch Action Figure

Predator Dark Horse Comic Book 8-Inch Action Figure
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first Predator comic book than by buying this Predator Dark Horse Comic Book 8-Inch Action Figure! I’m biased though, because I love all things Predator. This 8-inch tall figure recreates the Predator’s appearance on the cover of the first issue and they hit all of the details perfectly, right down to the comic book colors and shading!

It also features some really nice articulation and a new ceremonial staff accessory. The deluxe window box packaging has original comic book art too and it comes with a special bonus mini-comic reprint of Predator #1!

Stunning Mars Attacks Martian Face Paint

Stunning Mars Attacks Martian Face Paint
The Martians are really invading people! We have proof. Sort of. This face is actually the work of makeup artist Maria Malone. It is a terrifyingly real Mars Attacks Martian brought to life. You can see it in action in the video below.

Just a warning though. Prepare to be terrified. At least it doesn’t carry around a ray gun and say ak ak ak!

Prometheus And Alien Edited Together

https://vimeo.com/129318944
I know that a lot of people think that Prometheus was a sub-par movie, whether it is a prequel to Alien or not. I found it to be a worthy prequel to the classic, but different strokes and all that. For those of you who didn’t like the movie, maybe you’ll like it better with both movies edited together.

Editor Job Willins edited both movies together to highlight the good things in Prometheus and give it some closer ties to Alien. The film uses a parallel narrative, set 30 years apart and is titled Derelict. It really does a great job of setting an even scarier atmosphere in black and white. I’m not sure how I feel about it, but it’s a brilliant idea and very creepy.

Sci-Fi Pulp Covers

Sci-Fi Pulp Covers
Behance user Leolux IV has made some super cool and retro pulp magazine covers for familiar modern Sci-Fi shows and movies. I can easily imagine these as actual pulp covers had these shows and movies arrived decades earlier.

I love what he did with these. The Star Trek one with Carol Marcus is the best! I hope he makes more. I would collect the hell out of these if they were real.

Predator Metal Sculpture Tables And Alien Chairs

Mari9art wants you to be scared to death when you sit down for lunch. This metal sculptural Predator table and these Alien chairs are awesome. I personally would love to have both in the kitchen or on the patio. These are made out of recycled spare parts.

They are not only striking, but they will also strike fear in the hearts of your guests as well. If you have the extra money, I would suggest buying both of these and having an awesome set.

Custom Built Light Up Battlestar Galactica

This Custom Built Light Up Battlestar Galactica is frakkin’ awesome. It was created by OtherWorldModels and is a custom built and painted new-series Moebius Models Battlestar Galactica model kit. However, he put in some amazing upgrades.

Like full hull plating decals, detailed and lit hanger bays, other photo-etched detail pieces, and upgraded guns. Because Galactica needs her guns. I love how those engines glow. You would be proud to have this ship on your desk.

Irathient Defiance Cosplay

I wasn’t very sure about Defiance at first, but it’s actually a decent Sci-Fi show despite coming from Sy-Fy. So when I saw this awesome Irathient cosplay it made me smile. Alice The Insane looks pretty stunning, not to mention dangerous as an Irathient. She looks like she is a cast member of the show.

She’s so good it’s scary. The photography is by Nick Doulgeris. If the series ever needs an extra alien, they should call her for sure and give her a speaking part.

Engraved Glass Millennium Falcon And Death Star

These aren’t new, but they are so shiny and lovely that I had to share. Apparently only 40 of these engraved Millennium Falcon and Death Stars were produced to celebrate Disney taking over Lucasfilm. They were gifts for people who helped make the deal happen.

Each Millennium Falcon took six to seven hours to complete. The level of detail is pretty stunning. This is one of those “Holy grail” collectibles that most of us will never have a chance at owning.

Battlestar Galactica Vault: The Complete History of the Series 1978-2012

If you are a Battlestar Galactica fan, new or old, you are going to love this book. It takes you behind the scenes with the series’ creators. This book is worth the asking price for the images alone. This is the kind of book that I could sit with for hours. Learn about the special effects, storylines, exclusive interviews and more.

Basically Battlestar Galactica Vault: The Complete History of the Series 1978-2012 is a complete visual history of the show’s evolution, from the original 1978 series all the way up to Caprica and Blood & Chrome. This is a must have for serious fans. Check out a video below to check it out.
