REVIEW: KIDROBOT 19 'KIDRIOT'

2011-05-22T09:36:00.000-07:00

PROPHECY: Designed by MAD, KidRiot is the newest and 19th edition of the Kidrobot 'Mascot' series. This release was limited to 1,500 pieces as well as 10 signed/numbered AP's that were sold exclusively from MAD's web store with a Giclee print. Although 1,500 seems like a high number as compared to some of the past pieces in this series, they are completely sold out. This doesn’t surprise me much at all because of how cool this toy is, MAD never fails to impress.

Upon receiving mine the other day I quickly but carefully opened the shipping box and packing peanuts went flying. I was slowed once I saw the box, and had to admire it for a minute before opening it. It’s nearly as cool as the figure itself, but lacks that glorious smell of fresh vinyl that only a new toy can provide. The figure and each accessory are individually wrapped, so it’s like 4 mini Christmas gifts you get to open along with your new toy. And the assembly began…

The figure itself is 8 inches of awesomeness, but if he is wearing his helmet and the shield is up he stands nearly 9 inches tall. The shield actually clicks into an up or down position for the ease of displaying this guy reflecting your (or his) current mood. He wears a standard blue police uniform with black boots, gloves, pads, utility belt, and a pack on his back with ‘19’ on it. Kidrobot figures feature that well recognizable smile and eyes that appear happy, but when he’s decked out in his riot gear the helmet covers a portion of his eyes it gives him an oh so happy to beat you down look. KidRiot also comes with 3 hand-held accessories to complete the look: a shield, a billy club, and a strawberry doughnut. This continues to raise the cool level as you can mix and match whichever way you please. The shield has raised print with KIDROBOT x MAD, RIOT (separated by a robot skull and crossbones), 19, and WE OWN THE GAME on it. The billy club is a massive piece sporting the nickname “The Judge” on it. And finally the strawberry doughnut, which I like to put in his hand with his mask off so you can see his joy for the tasty treat. On the bottom of his feet you will find both the Kidrobot & MAD's logos.

Although I would really hate to see any of these figures sacrificed by customizers, I can already imagine the crazy things people will do, especially after seeing the great pieces that came from the ChuckBoy Cyborg Dunny. I’m sure we will see some kind of futuristic RoboCop looking custom and who knows what else. Customs are always bittersweet for me because I love the production pieces that these great designers create and don’t like seeing them stripped; but on the other hand I’ve seen some insane customs sometimes imagined by those same designers. Regardless of what happens to the other 1,499 KidRiot figures, mine will remain safely on display at my house. It easily became one of my favorite toys the moment I saw it, and I recommend that if you’re a fan of MAD, Kidrobot, or just vinyl in general that you pick one up (hopefully at a reasonable price/trade) if you have a chance.

X-MEN'S 1ST CLASS POSTER POSSIBLY YEAR'S WORST DESIGNED

2011-03-10T06:05:00.000-08:00

The best thing about the worst movie posters is that they are the product of laziness. Posters exist to promote, and, thus, with all that money on the line, one has a certain expectation of professionalism and salesmanship, a creativity of marketing. But the worst movie posters, why they're so fun, is marketing gone awry in the name of sloth. Bad movie posters happen, mostly, because someone stopped trying. Here's some of the greatest old ones: Our favorite is "The Blue Lagoon," which pretty much just describes the whole plot.

It's been a while since we had a contender for Worst Movie Poster; studios might not be particularly adept at making excellent films, but it doesn't lack skill at selling them. Thus, it's a pleasure to witness the bafflingly ugly "X-Men: First Class" posters, featuring young Professor X and Young Magneto, which feature the Photoshop skills of an orangutan. Negative reaction from film sites was near-instant, with JoeBlo.com calling them "ridiculously amateurish" and "truly awful" and Slashfilm wondering if these are the worst studio-released posters of the year. (You can see the contrast with recent, far more attractive efforts for "First Class" here, which somehow managed to emphasize the characters' origin stories without harming your eyes.)

The reason these posters are truly terrible is because you can understand the lazy logic behind them. Well, we have to get across that these are characters from the earlier films, only younger. So! Let's have the silhouettes of the past characters ... but hmm ... how to get our current actors' faces on there, we have to show our big stars! Oh, just cut and paste their heads in there. That'll work!

Which is how you get to these, with their, ahem, interesting face-placement.
