Daily Graffiti: Not sure if this Spider-Man piece spotted by a real tomato is actual graffiti or the latest example of corporate marketing infiltrating street art culture, but it’s pretty cool looking, so I’m okay with it.

Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] Gets A ‘Mark Of Mastery’ Edition.

Why do Japanese companies have to call their special editions weird things like “Mark of Mastery” editions? Am I the only one who thinks this is both stupid and dumb?

Anyhoo, silly name aside, this North American limited edition is nowhere near as rad as 10th Anniversary Edition that Japan got, but whatevs. We should be used to being Japan’s redheaded stepchildren by now, feeding on scraps that fall from the table.

Here’s the rundown of sweet just you get for pre-ordering this bad boy:

Branded 3DS cover
12 art cards
5 Augmented Reality cards
A 360 ° viewing stand
A KINGDOM HEARTS-branded magnetic box to put all the above stuff in. Magnetic boxes are the shiznit.

KINGDOM HEARTS 3D [Dream Drop Distance] drops on July 31for the Nintendo 3DS™ system. The box set can be snagged for $54.99.

So, Olivia Munn Is Still Doing Things.

Once upon a time, I was a huge fan of a show on G4TV called The Screen Savers. Then half the staff was let go and The Screen Savers became Attack of the Show, then more people were let go, and Olivia Munn was brought in.

Full disclosure: I heart Olivia Munn.

All of my <3.

She rocketed from silly cable show co-host to nerdgirl darling almost over night. She swore up and down that no matter how famous she became, she’d never leave Attack of the Show. Then, in the wake of the release of her biography, Suck It Wonder Woman: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek, small cameos in such films as Iron Man 2 and Date Night, and, at the time, a new sitcom in the works (Perfect Couples), she left Attack of the Show.

Since then, her sitcom bombed and her career’s been in limbo - aside from those “alleged” n00dz that hit the net a few months back, but the nudes in question were released at the same time as Christina Hendricks’ from Mad Men, so most people either didn’t care or were all like “Who’s Olivia Munn?”

But guess what? She’s baaaAAACK!

O-Munn will be starring alongside Paul Schneider in The Babymakers. It’s from Jay Chandrasekhar, the dude who directed Super Troopers and Beerfest, so it probably won’t be amazing, but it also probably won’t suck.

Here’s the official plot summary from the press release we were sent:

After trying everything to get his wife Audrey (Olivia Munn) pregnant, Tommy Macklin (Paul Schneider) realizes to his horror that he may be “shooting blanks.” Terrified that his marriage may fall apart, Tommy recruits his friends (and an Indian ex-mobster) to rob a sperm bank where he made a deposit years ago. As with any half-baked scheme, everything can and does go wrong, testing the limits of Tommy and Audrey’s relationship. THE BABYMAKERS is a hilarious twist on the heist film genre, a laugh-out loud comedy showing how far one couple will go in hopes of creating a new life.

In before “I hope she gets naked.”

Millennium Entertainment will release THE BABYMAKERS on VOD and in theaters on August 3rd.

First Wooden Toys from Kidrobot: Misko Mini Series

Kidrobot are finally getting into wood toys with these Misko owls designed by Nathan Jurevicius. The figures are inspired by Lithuanian folklore. The eight colorways will be blindboxed and cost $9.99 each. They go on sale May 24. I’ve had a lifelong fear of owls (except for baby ones), but I’ll probably pick up the teal one. Hopefully it wont claw out my eyeballs.

The small version is $40 and the medium one (currently sold out) is $60 before shipping. There is no large one because there is no large anything in Japan. Except for sumo wrestlers and enemy crabs.

**Four Minutes of The Amazing Spider-Man.**

Okay, so even though Spider-Man is tied with Batman as my all time favorite super hero, I was a bit skeptical about the series reboot, but this… THIS!!! Remember the subway scene in Spider-Man 2? Tears. In. My. Eyeballs. But THIS!!! Parker taking off his mask for a kid he’s trying to save!? Holy shit I hope there’s more tender-ass moments like this in the movie, but that might be asking too much.

And I don’t know about you guys, but I’m totally pumped for a skateboarding Spider-Man int he cheesiest way ever. Also, Ema. Freaking. Stone. Amirite?
