Scout Trooper Sixth Scale Figure by Sideshow Collectibles

Posted on by

100103-scout-trooper-003From Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Sideshow Collectibles is proud to present the Scout Trooper Sixth Scale Figure.

Far more mobile than Stormtrooper units, Imperial Scout Troopers were assigned to the forest moon of Endor to patrol perimeters, perform reconnaissance missions, and identify enemy positions. Capable of reaching breakneck speeds on their Speeder Bikes, the Scout Troopers raced between the trees in an unforgettable chase against Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, as they attempted to warn the shield generator stations of the Rebel Alliance’s presence during the Battle of Endor.

Armed to provide rear-guard cover with their blaster and sniper rifle, the Scout Troopers are trained as efficient survivalists, equipped with lightweight armor, utility belt, sidearm boot holster, and helmets with enhanced macrobinocular view plates for efficient target acquisition. Displayed with a forest terrain base, or piloting the Sixth Scale Imperial Speeder Bike (sold separately), these loyal scouts are ready to be assigned to their post.

the price of the figure alone is 189.99  it is due out on july 2015

Characters for THE WALKING DEAD Spin-off Series Revealed

Posted on by

http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/54296be1e4b0948d7694eeef/1412000746433/characters-for-the-walking-dead-spin-off-series-revealed?format=750w

Earlier this month AMC officially greenlit a pilot episode for a The Walking Dead companion series. The new show will be set in the same post-apocalyptic zombie world as the current TV series, but it will feature a whole new group of characters that reside in a different part of the country. There has been a rumor that the series will be a prequel that would chronicle the early days of the epidemic and the effort to contain it, but there’s been no confirmation of that.

TV Line managed to get their hands on some information regarding six of these new characters. Here are the names along with a brief description for each one:

SEAN CABRERA | A Latino male in his early 40s, Sean is a good man trying to do right by everyone in his life.

CODY CABRERA | Sean’s whip-smart and rebellious teenage son. Known as the angriest kid in town.

NANCY TOMPKINS | A thirtysomething single mom to two kids, Nancy looks like the girl next door, but there’s an edge to her.

NICK TOMPKINS | Nancy’s screwed up teenage son. He’s too old to stay home, too scared to flee.

ASHLEY TOMPKINS | Nancy’s mostly level-headed teenage daughter. Her ambition is in direct proportion to her older brother’s failures. She loves her mom but it’s time to get out of Dodge.

ANDREA CHAPMAN | A somewhat wilted flower child, fortysomething Andrea — yep, another Andrea! — has retreated to the outskirts of the city to recover after a horrible marriage.

Sounds like it can be an interesting group of characters, and I’m looking forward to seeing the show, i am a big fan of the walking dead, i would like tos ee what can be done with this. Dave Erickson (Marco Polo) co-created the spinoff series and co-wrote the pilot with Robert Kirkman.

AVENGERS 3 to Be a Two Part Movie

Posted on by

http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/54297203e4b0fb1d443f1af3/1412002309434/?format=750w

A new rumor about Avengers 3 is making the rounds. This rumor comes from Daily Marvelite, which is a site we’ve never sourced before. So why are we bothering to report this? It makes logical sense and kind of aligns with things we’ve heard before.

The meat of the rumor is in the title. Avengers 3 will be a two part movie just like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, and Twilight: Breaking Dawn. All the aforementioned movies will/have essentially double(d) their money by splitting those final books into multiple parts.

We’ve heard in the past from a few different sources that a showdown with Thanos is not going to happen until a fourth Avengers film. This two-part idea somewhat aligns with those previous rumors.

i don’t personally like these 2 part deals  just call it  #4.  what do you think?

BIG the movie coming to the Small Screen

Posted on by

Last season, few shows were more well received that that of the now defunct Enlisted on Fox. Hailing from Cougar Town’s Kevin Biegel and Men of a Certain Age’s Mike Royce, the military comedy took fanbases by storm and narrowly missed out on renewal by Yahoo! following the network’s pick-up of Community season six. However, not wanting to go their separate ways, Biegel and Royce have decided to jump right back in the saddle together with an all new comedy project at Fox that has some “big” potential behind it.

According to Variety, Fox has ordered a half-hour event series from the duo based on the classic Tom Hanks film, Big. Royce and Biegel are set to co-write and executive produce the series, with no word yet on casting.

About a boy who’s magically transformed into an adult overnight, the 1988 film has maintained as a fan favorite for nearly three decades. With the new series, viewers will explore “what it means to be an adult and what it means to be a kid, and how in today’s world those two things are more confused than ever.”

While it’s sad to see Enlisted go, it’s nice to know the Mike Royce/Kevin Biegel partnership isn’t over just yet. From the antics on “Prank War” to the drama of “Pete’s Airstream,” Enlisted proved it could deliver on both comedy and heart, which is exactly what an adaption of Big needs. There’s no doubt in our minds this writing team’s going to deliver on something special come this time next year.

Taken 3 Trailer: Still Phoning After All These Years

Brian Mills framed for murder?!

Yes, the first trailer for Taken 3 changes things up a little. Nobody is taken hostage – apart from Mills’ good name. Luckily, this doesn’t prevent the old battleship from kicking all sorts of ass, hopefully including the Academy Award- winning behind of Forest Whitaker who plays the police hound hot on Mills’ heels.

It seemed to be a foregone conclusion, but now Marvel Entertainment has made it official. Dominic Cooper, who played the role of Tony’s father Howard Stark in Captain America: The First Avenger, as well as the Marvel One-Shot “Agent Carter,” will reprise his role in the upcoming “Agent Carter” TV series. No further details were given about his involvement but check back here for more info as we learn it.

It’s 1946, and peace has dealt Peggy Carter a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy must balance doing administrative work and going on secret missions for Howard Stark all while trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life–Steve Rogers.

Starring Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter, Chad Michael Murray as SSR Agent Jack Thompson, Enver Gjokaj as SSR Agent Daniel Sousa, James D’Arcy as Edwin Jarvis, and Shea Whigham as SSR Chief Roger Dooley, “Marvel’s Agent Carter” was written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Executive producers are Tara Butters, Michele Fazekas, Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Chris Dingess, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Joe Quesada, Stan Lee and Jeph Loeb.

“Agent Carter” will debut in 2015 on ABC.

After Moving Slow As Corpse, ‘Zombieland 2? Gets Writer And Urgency

Posted on by

zombieland-AtlantaEXCLUSIVE: Sony Pictures looks to be getting more serious about mounting another installment of Zombieland. Studio just hired Dave Callaham to write the sequel under the supervision of Ruben Fleischer, who’ll return to direct. Callaham’s script Barrow became The Expendables, and his recent credits include Legendary’s revival of Godzilla, and most recently Jackpot, a Focus Features film based on a story by Swedish crime writer Jo Nesbo that has Will Gluck producing. It was that darkly comic tale that sparked Sony to hire him for the Zombieland sequel. Callaham also did a production rewrite on Marvel’s Ant-Man. Insiders at the studio said no deal with Fleischer, but that of corpse they are getting serious about mounting the sequel of a 2009 cult favorite sleeper film that grossed $100 million worldwide. Not sure if the participants will be back; pretty much all of them have soared since making the original, from Jesse Eisenberg to Emma Stone, True Detective’s Woody Harrelson, Abigail Breslin (who plays the title zombie in the upcoming Maggie), and Bill Murray, who’s upcoming in St. Vincent. Latter wasn’t properly positioned for a return and if he wouldn’t do another Ghostbusters, a reprise here couldn’t be as cool as it was the first go around. UTA and Kaplan/Perrone rep Callaham along with attorneys Gretchen Rush and Dan Fox.
