The Four Horsemen have really brought a great showing to SDCC 2010 with prototypes of their Symbiotech line, Outer Space Men line, and more. They have a beautiful art print for sale showcasing many of their long time properties that have appeared in their annual FANtastic Exclusive polls. The print is on sale at their booth and their online store, StoreHorsemen.com. It was done by FANEx member, Baena, who has done other art commissions for the 4H properties. Click the image above to see the full poster in all its glory!

Action Figure Insider snapped this great picture of the Symbiotech prototypes on display including a brand new pair called Bipedix and Bipedon on the right. Guanos and Sonos are on the left. If you look at the top middle of the picture, you will see an unpainted prototype. Look closer and you will note that is Tygos riding in some form of vehicle made of Tygolith’s armor! Now, thats pretty darn cool!

[UPDATE – Crazy] I want to point out the gallery over at Michael Crawford’s site. It has some fantastic pictures of what the Horsemen had on display including the Tygos riding the combined parts vehicle from Tygolith. That can be seen here.

TFW2005 is reporting that the long rumored Masterpiece Rodimus will in fact be Rodimus Prime (Convoy) and not just Hot Rod. They offered up some concept art to back up the claim courtesy of 2005 member, S250.

I’d be happy with a masterpiece Winebago. Rodimus Prime doesn’t get enough love in my book.
Can anyone offer anything meanings behind the japanese text in the image?

“We’re going to take the same 3D technology James Cameron used in AVATAR and stick it up Steve O’s butt. We’re taking stupid to a whole new dimension.” -Johnny Knoxville.

MTV plans on showing the first footage at ComiCon this weekend. At last, after countless goofy kids movies, we’ll get justification for 3D digital cinema.

Unlike previous Jackass movies, this one was shot largely on sets and private properties, so expect less on the street shocks like Night Pandas or Party Boy. Also a departure: no beer. Miller High Life was the proud sponsor of the first film, but as Steve-O hasn’t had a drink in 2 years, the entire cast stayed sober in support. This has strangely resulted in more injuries than on previous movies.

Expect vomit, penises, and Bunny The Lifeguard to pop out of the movie screen on October 15, 2010.

I’m the last guy who should be posting StarCraft news. Hell I bought the original game from a discount bin in 2003 and then chucked the disc into the street in a fit of rage when it wouldn’t install on the laptop I had at the time.

But this trailer is neat. Maybe I should see if that disc still works.

Not much to say here. I went to Botcon and he sold out in the first 20 minutes. I regretted not getting him, so I ordered him online as soon as I got home.

I don’t order toys online much these days, but boy am I glad I did in this case.

Chun-Li, Trish, Super Skrull and Dr. Doom make their Marvel vs Capcom 3 debut in this trailer that surfaced today.

Thanks to bentheo for the tip!

In the recent issue of ToyFare magazine, it was announced that the secret line that the Four Horsemen were putting together, in addition to The Outer Space Men, was in fact their homemade brand Symbiotech. One of many home grown properties that the group has developed, Symbiotech has been in the voting for their annual FANtastic Exclusive event since the start. The original pitch in the FANEx polls for the line was as follows:

Symbiotech is a dual scaled, beast/rider property where the connection between the two characters lies in their Sybiotech armor.When the larger beasts don Symbiotech armor, the smaller riders gain the ability to bond with the great beasts in order to become one destructive battle machine. As mentioned before, Symbiotech would be a dual-scaled line where the riders would be around three inches tall, and the beasts would be around eight inches tall. Each character would feature moderate articulation and character specific armor and weapons.

This weekend Marvel is going to be showing off posters for their next two big movie offerings. Captain America and Thor concept art posters will be available from Marvel Studios and Paramount.

If you can’t make it to the show, or fear you’ll simply be lost in the vast expanse of one of geekdom’s biggest weekends, then you’ll be happy to check here to see the full artwork on each poster. Captain America takes to the streets of World War II Europe, and The Mighty Thor swings his hammer at rival Loki. Neither of these are direct stills from the movies, but will give you a really good idea what to expect.
