Shortly after Mossman’s debut at SDCC 2009, problems were discovered with the flocking. Apparently the flocking was rubbing off at the points of articulation. This was early enough in the development life cycle for Mattel to play with the final result. After getting feedback from fans on the level of flocking, it seemed that Mattel was poised to do as much flocking on the action figure as the articulation would allow. The result? Mattel updated their facebook page the other day with photos of the finalized Mossman figure.

What is there to say? They flocked the shit out of that figure.

Some fans are not happy with the result and its stark differences from what was shown at SDCC 2009. Particularly the flocked ears.

Because having 2 variations on the original Nintendo DS handheld system wasn’t enough, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has announced a new DS varient that will sport high-definition visuals, as well as motion-sensoring. Squinting at your DS screen will now be a thing of the past.

No official release date has been mentioned, so we could be waiting a while. Given the sales of the DS in North America, as well as how popular motion-sensors in things like iPhones and Nintendo’s own Wii console, you’d hope they’d be pushing for a release sooner rather than later.

Since the alphabet is the building block of our language, the Powet Alphabet is the building block of what makes us geeks.

Yes, we’re starting off this round of the Powet Alphabet with a little twist. This could have been an A article of an X article depending on how you look at it, but why would we want to deprive you all of the wonder and awesomeness that is Agent X? We wouldn’t, that’s why.

So if you’re a comic book geek, like I’m sure a majority of you are, you might know a little character known in the Marvel Comic universe as Deadpool. The self-styled “Merc with a Mouth” has been a fan favorite of comic books for some time, with his kooky-badass style and insane ramblings whist feeding people their innards. It’s hard not to like a character with that kind of bizarre appeal. Marvel comics saw the wonderful reception the character was receiving, and figured “Why not have more characters like Deadpool?” That’s where the tale of Agent X begins.
