Omi Series 1

Munky King had already released Omi Series 1. It’s the first artist series of their new Omi blind-box art collectible series. The production pieces are or can be displayed on the included clear wall stand. With clear wall stand you can display the Omi by hanging it on your wall. It also comes with an extra little stand piece that you can attach it to the clear wall stand so you can have your Omi displayed on your desk or any other flat surface. You can also buy the acrylic board so you can display 9 Omis all at once on your wall. Series 1 features nine artists which consist of Buff Monster, Dave Pressler,Ferg, Frank Kozik, Greg Simkins Luke Chueh, Munky King, Nathan Jurevicius, and Yoskay Yamamoto. There are nine chase pieces which brings the total to 18 different Omis that you can get. Also I found out from watching Toy Break that two Omis can be plugged together to make one full/different figure. I ordered two of them from rotofugi.com. I hope that I get the ones that I wanted. *crosses fingers*

Awesome stuff from Tate's comics Part 2!

Ok now on to the three blind boxes. The first two are a Gundam 00 blind box and a Gundam 00 and Code Geass mixed blind box. I got Setsuna in the Gundam 00 and Lelouch in the second one. What’s awesome about these guys is they talk, but only in Japanese.

The third and final blind box is a Sanrio re-ment with the twins which is said to resemble the astrological sign Gemini. The window opens up and there is a little mirror inside. There is not much to say about this but it’s pretty darn cute. ^_^ And that’s all I got from Tate’s comics.

Awesome stuff from Tate's comics!

I went to Tate's comics today and got some awesome stuff. Since my b-day is coming up soon I thought of spoiling myself a little. I got myself 3 blind boxes and the Marvel POP Wolverine figure. I also got the Ame Comi Heroine Cheetah mini figure from a friend that she bought for me at Tate’s.

The Wolverine figure is just a bobble head and has no articulation his arms or legs. I had to go through a few of them to find one with a decent paint job. I think he is awesome and adorable even though he doesn’t do much.

I wanted the Ame Comi Heroine Cheetah mini figure ever since I saw her on entertainmenterth.com. I wasn’t sure when she would be released because on entertainmenterth.com she was still a pre-order as I recall. So when I walked in to Tate’s today to my surprise she was there. A friend that I was there with offered to buy her for me as an early b-day gift. Cheetah to my surprise when I opened her up, I saw that she had a mouse in her paw behind her back. I never saw any pics of that online. It’s so cute. She comes with a little stand that has no design on it. It was a little hard to get her all the way on the stand. Her paint job is great with minor paint defects.

Sorry for the bad quality pics of her. I was using my iPod to take the pictures.

So So Happy Plush: Taco

Today at Hottopic I finally bought a So So Happy plush Taco that cost $12.00. The So So Happy plush have been out in Hottopic stores for a while now and I wasn’t so sure if I wanted one. Since I kept finding myself looking at these plush I finally decided to get one and I chose Taco. I thought she looked interesting, adorable, and I liked her character info.

She is a soft plush that has little beanies in her bottom to help her sit. Her eye including the black spot where her missing eye is, teeth, and the black circles on the bottom of her feet and under her hands are embroidered.

Here is some information about So So Happy that I got from their site:

News: The 99

The 99 is a comic book series published by Teshkeel Comics. The comic features a team of superheroes based on Islamic culture and religion. According to the information I found on wiki the series is a creation of Dr. Naif Al-Mutawa, founder and C.E.O. of Teshkeel Media Group. The creative team for The 99 is composed of comic book industry veterans such as Fabian Nicieza, Stuart Moore, June Brigman, Dan Panosian, John McCrea, Ron Wagner, Sean Parsons and Monica Kubina – all of whom have worked at both Marvel and DC Comics. Although the series is based on Islamic concepts, it is promoted as appealing to universal virtues, and the religion of each character is not made explicit

It is said that this comic book series is going to be an animated TV show for the Hub Channel. It is to be released sometime this year but a specific dated has not been released yet by my knowledge. In season one there was supposed to be 13 episodes but that has changed now to 26. In December 2009 a preview was released on youtube and 99’s own website.  

Information on the comic book/soon to be series from wiki:
The 99 are ordinary teenagers and adults from across the globe, who come into possession of one of the 99 magical Noor Stones (Ahjar Al Noor, Stones of Light) and find themselves empowered in a specific manner. All dilemmas faced by The 99 will be overcome through the combined powers of three or more members. Through this, The 99 series aims to promote values such as cooperation and unity throughout the Islamic world. Although the series is not religious, it aims to communicate Islamic virtues which are, as viewed by Dr. Al-Mutawa, universal in nature.
The concept of The 99 is based on the 99 attributes of Allah. Many of these names refer to characteristics that can be possessed by human individuals. For example – generosity, strength, faithfulness, wisdom are all virtues encouraged by a number of faiths.
In compliance with Islamic tradition, the Arabic version of the aliases of each of the 99 is written without the definite article "Al-", because use of this precise form is exclusive to Allah. This serves to remind that The 99 are only mortals, and sets them as human role models, with their qualities and weaknesses.

Surprise information I found on wiki: DC Comics have revealed that they are planning a crossover mini-series with the Justice League and The 99.

I have been “away” from the DC comics for a long time. For the last 6, 7 years I had been watching mostly anime. I had started going back to Marvel and DC stuff in 2009. I can’t believe about how much I missed! New characters and new interesting heart stopping story lines that just blew my mind.  So from the some of the knowledge I had from when I was a kid and some of the things I have learned because some of older character information and storylines had changed over the years I am not sure how well the crossover would go. I haven’t read The 99 and by the preview of the show it looks awesome, but in order to get an opinion of if this would be a good idea or that The 99 would be a good series to crossover with the Justice League I have to see the series first. So I would eventually come back to this subject at a later date.
