A Little Bit on the Knobby Side: Your doorknobs probably sucks. Just sayin’. It’s nothing to be ashamed about. Mine suck, too. But we can fix this problem with these neat-o hockey puck knobs from Modknobs. They’re made out of rubber or wood and come in a variety of colors. The only bad news is that they’re at least $95 per set.

A Little Bit on the Cave In Side: This Cave In poster rocks, man. It’s from way back in their Until Your Heart Stops days. Two of my favorite things: metal / hardcore and old games.

CONTEST TIME!!!

We’re giving away a Star Wars FX Lightsaber w/ Removable Blade ($129.99 value) and all you have to do is follow us on Tumblr and reblog this post!

If you don’t already know, this is the mother of all lightsaber replicas. It lights up from bottom to top, fades off from top to bottom, makes that trademark hum that we all know and love, spurts motion-controlled wooshing sounds, and lets out a sensual *kzzzzt* as you beat it against stuff. In short: it’s everything you’ve ever dreamed of aside from an actual lightsaber.

One random lucky winner will be announced and contacted on Friday. Good luck!

A Little Bit On The Penis King Side: Once upon a time, in a foreign country, Burger King made a smutty commercial. I’m pretty sure I saw a softcore porn on Cinemax that started out just like this when I was 12.

A Little Bit On The Live Action Akira Side: While the Warner Bros. adaptation may be on hold, French director Fabien Dubois has taken it upon himself to slaughter the classic by casting a generic white dude as a version of Tetsuo who wears a bootleg version of Kaneda’s jacket. Does no one get this movie?

A Little Bit On The Skitty Side: Custom 8.5” Nookanooka by Tony Nakanari for an upcoming exhibit in Japan.

Skitty may look like Hello Kitty but don’t let her looks fool you. You will be her victim if you think she’s cute and innocent. She’s sexy and evil. She knows the meaning of party.

Don’t be expecting Skitty to be a homemaker. She wants her own independence.

100% acrylic paint + brush. No taping. No BS. Nakanari Style.

Monthly Revoltech Report (Feb. 2012)

el-marc — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 20:57:57 -0500

Each month, Kaiyodo puts out a new super-articulated toy for its Yamaguchi series, usually based on a giant robot. This month’s giant robot is Eva Unit 04 from the Rebuild of Evangelion movie series. And for the two following months, you can pick up Full Metal Alchemist figures. Hit the link for more info and pics for each.

If you’ve been collecting Revoltech’s Eva figures, you’re probably going to have to rent a storage unit pretty soon. This Unit 04 figure comes with a rifle, prog knife, umbilical cord, and spear of Longinus. Don’t poke your eye out with that spear.

Next month you can pick up this figure of Edward from Full Metal Alchemist. It comes with three interchangeable faces and several neat-o plasma attachments. Even the signature coat is posable.

April will continue the Full Metal Alchemist theme with Alphonse Elrich. This one’s intense. Not only can this guy balance on one foot in a kick-you-jaw-off pose, but he also comes with a light up base. And for that detailed touch, the eyes can be moved independently.

Check back each month for Albotas’ Monthly Revoltech Report.

A Little Bit on the Char CD Player Side: If you need to go all out after buying that Char helmet, check out this CD player, designed after his Zaku mobile suit. It’s originally from a mail-in-your-points-type program from Bandai, but one is on eBay right now. I was going to bid, but now it’s up to $35 plus $15 shipping. But it is a great collector’s item.
