VOLTRON CLASSICS - RED LION with LANCE MATTYCOLLECTOR.COM EXCLUSIVE

Holy Musical Batman Parody

If you are looking for a new YouTube page to check out, besides of course my own, then you need to check out StarKidPotter. Hitting the Chicago stage in March and YouTube in April, "Holy Musical, B@tman" is sure to blow your mind! From the creators of the Harry Potter musical parody, "A Very Potter Musical," comes a rock opera about the man behind the bat suit. Included is a performance about young Wayne witnessing his parents death and which the tragic event (set to some pretty happy go lucky music) made him put on the bat suit and take off into the night. Check out the Trailer below for is sure to be one of the greatest Batman parody musicals to ever hit YouTube. Also make sure to check out the new Top Ten Batman villains from our very own BKBN crew here. So will you be keeping an eye out for this one?

iGear MW-04 Photo Leaked

As you can see iGear's MW-04 is much larger in scale than their previously released Mini Warrior series of  Transformers Generation 1 MiniBots. With that being said, it allows for more detail and a better looking piece on the shelf. These photos popped up on their Facebook page. Although they have been putting these out at a faster rate than the other third party company Make Toys, do you feel that these homages are nailing the little child inside you? Let us know below.

WHAT IF "STAR WARS: EPISODE I" WAS GOOD? (Belated Media)


With the release of Star Wars Phantom Menace in 3-D in theaters at the moment, it has me questioning a lot of choices Lucas made in the prequel. When I stumbled upon this guys video, holy Darth Sidious it made a lot of sense. This is a 12 minute video explaining what could have been with Episode 1 with a few tweaks that would have changed the prequel trilogy from a wishy washy, look at the effects we can use now, into I am Lucas and I have grown as a writer and director, now I want to use the force and show you I am a master of my craft services art. Let's face it, the original series had its own flaws, but it was from days ago. The prequel, although not horrible I will admit, had even more flaws than its predecessor. After watching this guy rework the story slightly it made so much more sense and I now want to give him a high five, but also the middle finger cause this will never happen even though it should have. Just check out the video and you will see what I mean.

A TFW2005 board member (XTerry) posted pictures of the upcoming Mastermind Creations KM-3 Cyclops figure based on IDW's Hearts of Steel Transformers series. This leader size not-Shockwave figure by the Third Party company Mastermind Creations is highly anticipated among Transformer fans. It has an expected release date in May and estimated retail value of $160. This giant sized figure might be a bit pricey, but from the pictures is very impressive. Below is a few more pictures of KM-3 Cyclops, but if you want to see even more click here. Are you liking where Mastermind Creations is going with this line? Do you think the price is too much?

Decepticon Engagement Ring means I Love You?

Checking out Geekologie this morning and came across this stunning image. A Decepticon setting for an engagement ring made by deviantart's TheBoog17. Nothing says "I do", like lies, cheating, and pure evil intentions. Show your significant other how much they mean to you with this one of a kind symbol of hate love.I would love to see what the vowels are and if we could have someone read them that sounds like Starscream. Is this your idea of happily ever after? I don't know about that, but it is pretty damn cool.

Things you need to know for Transformers Fall of Cybertron


Gamesradar.com recently posted 15 Facts You Need To know about Fall of Cybertron. It was said the story is an immediate arc directly after WFC. Unlike WFC, the campaign is one continuous story with different characters available, one of which has at least two forms. Every Transformer has a unique ability. Jazz has a grappling hook and Optimus can control Metroplex. Of course we know that Bruticus will be formed and that Grimlock is in the game. From the rest of the article it sounds like they went all out on this one and will be a fun and hopefully replayable game, so that it is more bang for your buck. Check out the full article here. With the toys announced to go along with this High Noon release, I am stoked. I want to play as Grimlock and go Nom Nom all over Cybertron. Are you getting excited for this sequel to hit shelves?
