What seems like minutes after we got the first glimpse of War Machine from Iron Man 2, we now have an even better look. Granted, Rhodes’ armor is behind Stark’s, but we get a great idea how they’ll stack up.

Iron Man 2 will arrive in the US on May 7th, which is a really long time to look at such a cool poster. A teaser trailer is expected with the December 25th release of Sherlock Holmes, which also stars Robert Downey Jr in the title character.

…but should they have stayed hidden?

Resurrecting the Sands of Time series that inspired the upcoming Jerry Bruckheimer film, Ubisoft announced today that their next installment will not be a follow-up to the “new” Prince of Persia series. This change-up shouldn’t be much of a surprise, since it was reported almost two months ago that the name had been reserved for “game-related use”.

While a tie-in makes sense fiscally, will gamers (literally) buy it?

News comes via io9.com that the latest issue of Previews shows an ad for Diamond Select Toys’ Marvel Select Iron Man 2 War Machine armor. The ad only shows a sillouette, but there is a zoomed in view of the head (shown above) that is not blacked out. We can pretty much see Don Cheadle’s likeness in the War Machine helmet. This is sure to be just the first of hype for the upcoming movie set to be released on May 7, 2010.

This one took the internet by storm last week, but if you didn’t see it, you missed a viral classic. The Muppets perform the Queen song “Bohemian Rhapsody”

This isn’t the first crack at Muppet Music. Weezer featured the Muppets in the video for “Keep Fishin” which you can watch HERE. Universal disabled video embeds, but if you got to this website you know how to click a link, so just click this link.

Big Lob, a character depicted in the infamous 1987 animated G.I. Joe: The Movie, is finally arriving in action figure form. The crowd goes bananas!

He was a character that spoke in sports metaphors and gave play by plays of his every move. Big Lob was never intended to be a toy and was invented solely for use in the movie. His name has popped up a few times in comic stories since then, but his only meaningful appearance was as a new recruit in the war on Cobra-La.

The GIJOE Collector Club is offering its members the figure as a free perk, provided their membership remain active by March 16, 2010.

While there have been many advances in the design and technology of 3.75 inch figures in the past 20 years, I have to give credit for assembling Big Lob using vintage tooling. Yes, that belt line has a mighty O-Ring beneath it, meaning he’ll fit in with any other Rawhides you’ve got in your collection.

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

Nope, we’re not trying to put a crazy spin on “V for Vendetta” involving robot lions. It’s time for some more Powet Alphabet where we’re featuring the letter V for Voltron.

We all remember the great robot anime of the 1980’s. The original Gundam had been premiered, along with Robotech, and became legendary as the pioneers of what was much later dubbed the “Mecha” prime years. Voltron was the third component in these top-tiered series in terms of popularity and fanbase.
