Recon SF Figure Collection — Colin Miller’s toy collection has some great stuff, like custom Three Kings figures, but what’s also interesting is the weird French Big Lebowski movie poster and, if I’m not mistaken, a stand-up cut-out of Larry Fishburne?

I’m not sure how long the price/stock will last, but you can get Moe’s Tavern (with Duffman) from EBGames for $4.99 (regular price $39.99). It’s not a typo. Mine just shipped and the $4.98 price was honored.

Update [Jan.08]: It’s $24.41 now. That didn’t last long.

Clerks Cartoon Test Footage by Powerhouse Animation — nice Galactus head in the background.

The accompanying note says it was done primarily in Flash, which is interesting. I don’t know if there’s been a feature-length animated movie done in Flash. I doubt it’s 100% Flash. The blurring and smoke were probably done in something else.

Hopefully the movie’ll be better than the short-lived animated series. I saw both episodes that aired on ABC and I thought it was awful. I tried to get the DVD from Netflix but it got lost in the mail, so I took that as a sign that someone doesn’t want me to watch all of them.

Related: a good look at the upcoming Dogma InAction Figures (why is it in the “Apparel” section of the Previews site, and not in, say, the “Toys & Models” section?).

Kill Bill Figure Sneak Peak — a very nice sculpt of Ms. Thurman (and her shoes). I can’t wait to see what the rest look like.

Update [Dec.31]: Here’s a look at The Crazy 88s.

Update [Jan.07]: …and a prototype of Go Go.

DC Direct: The Dark Knight Returns Action Figures — Batman and Superman look a little weird (their legs look wrong), but that Joker is bad ass.
