I Don’t Think I’ve Ever Swooned Over An Action Figure Before
Yearned for, yes. But swoon? It takes a rare figure – and a rare subject matter – to do that. Something Enterbay’s Bruce Lee piece does with ease. Designed to commemorate what would have been his 73rd birthday, the figure comes with some clothes, spare hands and two super expressive faces. Oh, and the box…

Beyond Cosplay: A Normal Human Becomes Judge Dredd
The dude in the chair in this video is Nathan Claridge. He’s a regular, early 21st-century human being. At the end of a long session with make-up artist Patt Foad, though, he’s become killing machine and one-man judiciary system Judge Dredd. This goes a little above and beyond your standard cosplay.

Paperboy 3 Is The Raddest 80s Video Game Movie
Why. Why did nobody in the 1980s think to turn Paperboy into a Troma-style VHS horror movie? Why did this only happen in 2013? Why?

Thor Actor Visits Kid’s Hospital. In Armor.
Jaimie Alexander plays Lady Sif in the Thor movies. She recently visited the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, but instead of going as Jaimie Alexander, she went as Lady Sif. Sword, armour, the works.
