Finally!


Sony Pictures Consumer Products and Mattel, Inc. announced today the development of a new collectible line of toys based on the world’s favorite poltergeist fighting team, the Ghostbusters, including an extensive cast of ghosts and ghostbusters – celebrating the 25th anniversary of the frightfully funny classic film “Ghostbusters.”

Mattel’s “Ghostbusters” collectible line debuts with 12-inch figures in June 2009, and will be available exclusively at MattyCollector.com. Each figure will feature window box packaging and include authentic Ghostbuster equipment unique to each character. For the first time, Mattel’s line will include talent likeness of Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman and Winston Zeddemore. Select prototype figures will be on display February 6-8 at New York Comic Con and February 15 at Mattel’s New York Toy Fair Collector Preview Night (by invitation only).

“Ghostbusters” collectors can also look forward to 6-inch figures, with one debuting at San Diego Comic Con in July 2009. Sculpted by Four Horsemen Studios, the team currently working on Mattel’s popular DC Universe™ Classics and Masters of the Universe® Classics collectible lines, the 6-inch line will come complete with authentic “Ghostbusters” equipment and ghost.

Mattel will also create characters and ghosts from the classic animated series, “The Real Ghostbusters,” to go along with the classic “Ghostbusters” film.

~ new toys and a new game. it's gonna be sweet!

Man Arrested For Choking Girlfriend With Wii Controller

Daniel Alvarez of Austin, Texas has been arrested on charges of aggravated assault after he attempted to strangle his girlfriend with a Wii controller cord, according to police. He's also suspected of eating her cookies.

Christina Alvarado, Alvarez's girlfriend, told police that she was attacked by her boyfriend after a fight, one brought on for possibly the stupidest reasons known to man. She was apparently enraged because the suspect ate her supply of Girl Scout Cookies. He was similarly pissed due to being awakened, only to be given the business about some missing Girl Scout Cookies.

Alvarez was arrested and is being held in a Travis County jail with bail set at $40,000.

i have to suppose it was either the nunchuck or the classic controller since the main wii remote is wireless.

Halo Wars Mega Bloks


The deal cut between Twentieth Century Fox Licensing and Merchandising, which handles licensing for the teen-rated game, and MEGA Brands will see the toy maker developing construction toy sets based on the key characters and vehicles of Halo Wars under the Mega Bloks name.

The blocks are due out this summer.

“We’re excited to have this exclusive opportunity to partner with Microsoft and 20th Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising and build on the immense success of the Halo franchise,” said Vic Bertrand, Chief Innovation Officer of MEGA Brands. “We look forward to bringing the iconic characters and vehicles of the video game to life through Mega Bloks.”

“We consider MEGA brands to be one of the premiere leaders in the constructible toys and games category. Their reputation for creativity and innovation is inspiring and we look forward to seeing it applied to the legendary Halo franchise,” noted Michael Peikoff, Senior-Vice President U.S. Licensing, Twentieth Century Fox Licensing and Merchandising.

Randumb Thoughts

me and jennifer were having a conversation the other day, and we have come to the conclusion that cats are the reincarnation of celebrities. i dunno how it started, but it makes perfect sense. they lay around and don't really do much of anything, they have others around catering to their every whim, how self absorbed and vain they are, how they love having their pics taken..... i could go on forever. we also came to the conclusion that stray cats are the physical manifestation of the failed careers of child actors (since the actors are still alive, but their careers have died long ago). i was so close to renaming all of the strays in my back yard to the cast of saved by the bell characters.
