No firm dates or details, but there’s a new teaser over at the Glyos Transmission Web Log and it looks like there might be a short run of Delphi in this next release. I know Matt and Jesse are scheduled to head out on a world trip soon, so I’m not sure if the new release will come before or after the trip, but I expect we’ll see the Rig (review here) in the new wave.

I’m home from PAX, but it’s gonna take me a day or two to get back to normal. I saw several games at the show, but in the end the absolute best game of the show had to be Drumskulls, a zombie-bashing combat game that uses the Rock Band* drums for the controller. Rock out to zombie destruction! I got to try the demo and I can say that if this makes it to the 360 as an XBLA game then I’ll grab a copy.
Kotaku has a video if you want a look at how the game works.

These upcoming TMNT BATSU action figures* are so very cute. About 5-inches tall, these (clearly) designer toy-inspired action figures may be exactly what some hardcore action figure fans need to snag their first “designer” toys. And regardless of who does or doesn’t buy these, the toys are on my list of “check out as soon as I see them.”

This series includes highly stylized versions of Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michaelangelo. Figures stand approximately 5-inches tall, are poseable at the neck and shoulders, and are designed with urban vinyl in mind. They also have their signature weapons, and come in individual window box packaging.

I’m taking one last walk through downtown Seattle before I rush off to the airport and head home. Yesterday at PAX was long but fun, with the day ending at a private meal for a group of game industry pros. It was quite tasty, and like the geek I am I took a photo of the menu (see below).
Things here at the site should return to normal in a day or two.

Ghostbusters fans with a game room or any other den of nerdery are going to want to take a peek at this Ghostbusters sign*. Two-feet across, this thing is massive and would definitely stand out in almost any home. But $350 is a lot of clams for a wall ornament that’s a cheesy sign.

One of the most iconic images in movie history is now available for the first time ever for display in your home, office or firehouse! The Ghostbusters logo hanging outside the movie firehouse is now being reproduced in exacting detail, presented in half-scale of its original movie counterpart. Measuring 24-inches tall x 24-inches wide, this sign is waterproof and comes with brackets that can be used to mount the sign outside a business or anywhere in your home!

Working the demo space while wearing my Stormtrooper hoodie when another wandered by. What’s facinating is that these are from the same designer but have tons of tiny differences. Is one a fake, or was the design changed at some point?

We’ve looked at a few Real X Head toys before, but now something amazing has happened and US customers have a brand new RealXHead USA site where it will be much easier to score the toys.

And imagine my shock when I saw this post about battlegrip. Awesome, I get coverage and kind words!

Here are a few pics I shot at PAX using my BlackBerry. These are shots from our demo space, the street, and the exhibit hall.
Today’s the last day of the show. Sorry I haven’t been updating the site much this weekend, but work is keeping me very busy.
I fly home tomorrow and then get next weekend at home. I’ll get back to normal, and back to reviews, in a day or two.

Nice! For not being a dedicated Green Lantern fan — hell, I’m not even a casual fan — I do love the look of a lot of the characters. And this upcoming Sinestro bust* shows why, since Sinestro looks great; the “coming out of the lantern” design/base is especially nice.

Sinestro, agent of fear, is the latest villain to infiltrate the Heroes of the DC Universe bust line! Designed by New York Times best-selling artist Gary Frank, this astonishing bust features the Yellow Lantern Sinestro atop a special lantern base. The sculpture is hand painted, cold cast in porcelain, about 5 3/4-inches tall x 3 3/4-inches wide x 3-inches long, and packaged in a 4-color box.
