First 4 Figures Nabs Sonic License

First 4 Figures, creators of some of the most amazing Zelda, Metroid, and Transformers collectible statues you're likely to find, have just announced an agreement with Jetix Consumer Products to produce viynl figures and statues based off of the 'classic version' of Sonic the Hedgehog. The first series of 4 to 5 inch figures is slated for July 2008 release, with the lineup - as pictured above - featuring Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Depending on where they draw the line with 'classic' Sonic, there might not be all that many more in the pipe. I mean, what's left? Robotnik? Maybe some mechanical animals? As far as I am concerned, vinyl Sonic figures are a dime a dozen anyway. I'm holding out to see what they do in the statue department.

Halo 3 Cat Helmets Set To Sell Out

On the left you will see Rufus. Rufus didn't want a replica Spartan helmet, so you might have him to thank if you run out to the store real quick and still find a preorder available for the Halo 3 Legendary Edition here in the states. A Microsoft spokesman told GamesIndustry.biz that while there are still quantities left for preorder, they are on course to be completely sold out by launch day next week. They've already sold out in the UK, so don't wait until they start showing up on eBay complete with pictures of very relieved felines. And don't worry about Rufus there. I'm dressing him up like Pinhead from Hellraiser as soon as I find my tiny hammer.

Latest by ArmyofJuan: See, i just want the DVD content. But 130 for just some dvd content and a useless helmet is not worth it. If it was a real helmet it would be a different story. Im still tempted to get the more »

And The Bronze Mario Award Goes To...

There is a ton of cool stuff over at the Video Game Memorabilia Museum, including this Oscar-esque bronze Mario statue. Normally adorning a marble base, this statue is, according to its owner, normally only given out in rare circumstances. These include "Nintendo Long Service Staff" awards, for those in the employ of the company for more than twenty years, and worldwide competition winners. Obviously, the latter is the easier of the two. More »

Getcher Parappa, Um Jammer Lammy Guitars Here!

I'll admit that I never made it through Um Jammer Lammy, despite the game's critical success. I've played Parappa the Rapper the death. Hell, I even suffered through a good hour of the sub-par PlayStation 2 sequel, but Lammy? I just didn't "get it". More »
