Fox has posted the first official trailer for X-Men: First Class, which comes out later this year on June 3rd.

Let us know what you think in the comments.

After polls were taken on many fan message boards over the past week, Dragstrip has come out on top to become the next figure revealed in the exclusive box set for this year’s Botcon. I did not see this coming, but Dragstrip uses the Animated Arcee mold. So yes, Dragstrip is female. The Arcee head in the correct Dragstrip colors looks strangely right.

The Botcon twitter feed also added this quote:

“Think the names funny?One more crack and I’ll DRAG you out in to the street and STRIP you down to your motherboard, one slice at a time!”

  

In a wave of multi-site reveals on Monday, many of the new figures for Transformers Prime debuted along with the next Optimus Prime figure based on the franchise’s forthcoming third movie, Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

Clearly capitalizing on the buzz from the premiere of the Transformers 3 trailer during the Super Bowl the day before, Hasbro gave Brian Truitt of USA Weekend the exclusive on the first figure from the Transformers Prime toy line, Arcee. Arcee will be a deluxe figure and should be hitting retail at the beginning of October. This tends to guarantee the summer releases will focus on the movie, but will not be dragged out quite so long as the Revenge of the Fallen line had. (But I’ve been wrong before!)

We saw the last DC Universe Online Trailer way back during SDCC 2010 and it really blew our socks off.

This new one is also pretty crazy. You’ll recognize Lex Luthor right away, but that mysterious helper threw me for a loop. Future Luthor is an interesting character!

Any readers taken a dip into this new MMO? What do you think? Are you on PC or PS3?

Rob Pratt, an animator with Disney credits, has created a pretty brilliant little Superman cartoon. Its very short (about a minute) and the above video includes a message from Pratt about the production of the animation.

This is definitely worth watching, to see what one man can do with a little music for inspiration and little more than a pencil and a computer to do awesome hand drawn animation.

Update 2011-03-09: I was wrong! Max returns this Friday, March 11th.

It looks like Jake T. Austin will finally be returning as Max on the hit Disney show Wizards of Waverly Place. Earlier this year Jake’s character Max was turned into a young girl in an unexpected twist and it wasn’t clear how long this change would last. Today Jake T. Austin confirmed in this twitter post that he’s “back on wizards set”.

So when will he be back? According to this twitter post by the show’s writer Todd J. Greenwald they are doing the table reading for the show’s 100th episode today. Max turned into Maxine, played by Bailee Madison, in episode 84 which aired on January 7th. The latest episode to air was episode 86 which aired last Friday. This would mean some 14 more episodes will play before Max’s return, though with Disney Channel’s erratic schedule who can say when this would be.

This week is tough week to say anything is a big release. Not many big releases to speak of, but have a look for yourself after the jump!
