The Darth Vader Knife That’s Made To Go With a Kilt







This gorgeous blade is so much more than a dagger. It’s a Sgian Dubh. The single edged knife is part of traditional Scottish dress attire; it’s typically worn tucked into the top of the kilt hose so that only the hilt is visible. Stubborn Stag makes Sgian Dubhs, and the Darth Vader design was created for a commission. The hilt is an antler, and it comes with a leather sheath and velvet pouch.

Check Out 2 New TV Spots For G.I. Joe: Retaliation


gi-joe-retaliation-reenlists-with-new-trailer




You know that Simpsons where Poochie is introduced to the “Itchy & Scratchy Show,” and in the first episode of the new “Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show,” the cat and mouse duo are heading to the fireworks factory, and they come across Poochie, who starts rapping about who he is and why he has so much attitude, and then Milhouse, watching the show, gets all flustered and shouts, “When are they going to get to the fireworks factory?!”



Yeah, waiting for G.I. Joe: Retaliation has been a lot like that.



Here are two new TV spots for the movie, which will be out in theaters on March 29th.

In this sequel, the G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence. The film stars D.J. Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, Adrianne Palicki, Jonathan Pryce, RZA, Ray Stevenson, Channing Tatum with Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson. Directed by Jon M. Chu, and produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Brian Goldner, from a screenplay by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick based on Hasbro’s G.I. Joe characters.



But when is G.I. Joe going to retaliate….?!

‘Oz: The Great and Powerful’ – Two New Trailers


Oz-The-Great-and-Powerful




If you've seen the Oz: The Great and Powerful trailer that dropped during the Super Bowl, you know that Sam Raimi's latest brainchild is looking real pretty at the very least. With less than a month to go before release, the folks in charge of marketing are hitting us with two more trailers. They looks a little bit similar (as is par for the course), but they do manage to add a little bit of story lure to all that pretty.



Check em out below:

Oz: The Great and Powerful will be coming to a theater near you on March 8th.





Thanks to ComingSoon for the heads-up.

‘Presidential Monsters’ Turns Historical Figures Into Actual Nightmares





Many would argue you need the mindset of a monster to become a politician. So why not mash up famous presidents and Universal movie monsters? That seems to be the thrust of the Presidential Monsters series.



Courtesy of Heroes In Action Toys, we do have to admit, these are kind of amusing in both their tributes to old action figures and mashing up Presidents and classic monsters.



The figures themselves are packaged and largely designed to look like Megos, which is actually pretty amusing. Most of the energy actually seems to be focused on the head sculpts, which do look really good: mixing classic monster makeup and the recognizable features of a President isn’t a particularly easy artistic feat.



OK, so not all the puns are up to the level of “Baracula”, but where else are you going to see eight inches of Nixon as the Gill Man? Here are photos of all seven:
