Funko Pop! Feeds Your 80s Nostalgia With She-Ra, TMNT, Robocop, & More!

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:29 pm, April 20th, 2013

Available in the next few months from Funko are a slew of 80s-themed vinyl Pop! figures. Translated to Jill speak that means, I’m gonna go broke. Check out the designs they’ve come up with for the Masters of the Universe crew, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and more.

Mondo Got In On Black Friday With These (Sold Out, Sorry) Limited Edition Prints

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:30 pm, November 25th, 2012

All bow before the altar of Mondo. They always deliver when it comes to inventive, artistically stunning movie posters, and this Black Friday it was no different. Sadly all of their new poster designs—of Back to the Future Part II, Psycho, RoboCop, and (my personal favorite) The Bride of Frankenstein—sold out shortly after being debuted on Mondo’s Twitter account, but the images are after the jump for you to admire from afar.
