SIMPSONS!!!

The Simpsons Movie hits the big screen today, so I thought I would do a little Simpsons post. Apparently it is getting great reviews. Anyway, Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles is having an exhibit of customized 10" Bart Simpson Qee figures opening August 1st from 7-11pm in celebration of the movie release. I have always liked Toy2R's Qee figures, I have a ton of them, and these Bart ones are especially cool. So if you are in Los Angeles (Seth) head on down to Meltdown Comics at 7522 Sunset Blvd. on Wednesday night and take some pictures for me. Thanks bro'.

Afro Samurai

When I first started collecting Limited Ed. Asian action figures several years ago, one of the first ones I got was Afro Samurai, a character from a popular Manga series created by Takashi Okazaki. Now, the Afro Samurai mini-series is coming to TV. Produced by and starring Samuel L. Jackson, it will be featured this season on Spike TV. From what I've read on the IMDb message-board, it looks like the show has been postponed until January, but you can still watch a trailer for it and get all excited. I'm going to have to find someone with cable to tape it for me. Then I can bust out my action figure and recreate scenes from the show. Yippee!

P.S. Today is my girlfriend Anne's 21st birthday! Happy birthday babe! Let the drinking begin!
