Harbx.com has released some wallpapers of the concept art for Bumblebee from the upcoming Transformers Movie. These are similar to the Megatron art that surfaced quite a while ago.

In 1992 Spider-Man asked his target demographic, children, to be sure to go out and vote. Now in 2006 these people are finally old enough to vote!

Tell them Spider-Man sent you and see what the hell they say.

Fans were distraught after hearing that the “Bring on the Bad Guys” wave of Marvel Legends was originally slated to each come with a henchman figure and that the sculpts had been made. When they were put on display at the past San Diego Comic Con as part of a display of things that never made it to production, fans made their voices heard. Until now, all that was said was that Marvel/Toy Biz were considering their options.

Well fans, the options have been considered and decided! Coming next spring in a two-pack via the Marvel Select line, the Brood figure and the Skrull figure will be making their debut.

“When these figures were originally cancelled, fans made their wishes quite clear. Since Toy Biz sculpts and develops our Marvel Select line, it was only natural to inquire about the availability of these particular goons,” says Michael Leavey, Marketing & Sales Coordinator for Diamond Select Toys. “So far the response has been great, and we’re definitely looking forward to similar opportunities in the future.”

Microsoft’s online service will celebrate is One-Year anniversary with a massive addition of new media. Starting on November 22, Xbox 360 owners will be able to use Live Marketplace for more than just horse armor or fake money. TV Shows from Adult Swim, MTV, and CBS will be available to purchase and download and new HD movies like Superman Returns, V for Vendetta, and Jackass will be available to rent. This follows a year of very successful offerings for game and movie trailers, as well as original content like exclusive Red vs. Blue clips.

Theres still an awfull lot of people out there with HD TVs with no cable or satellite feed. This fills a content gap for sure. The only worry is the Xbox 360‘s hard drive. 20GB seemed like more than enough when we were talking about game saves, some music, and a few demos. How long until Microsoft unleashes the 100 GB Hard Drive.?

Full details are available on Xbox.com

Gaming Age is running a story reprinting a press release announcing Sega has grabbed the rights to make games based on Marvel’s Iron Man movie. All they’re saying now is “next-gen” which says to me “Xbox 360, PS3 if we have time, PSP port, halfassed DS, and completely different game for Wii”

But maybe I’m just a little jaded when it comes to license games. And Sega games.

Like a lot of superhero games, theres a lot of potential, especially if they draw from the vast arsenal Tony Stark’s used in comics. This will be a shooter and it will shoot everything. Press release after the jump.

TFW2005 has posted a clear image of the upcoming Optimus Prime figure from the popular Revoltech line out of Japan. I have included the picture below.

The Four Horsemen announced the results of the third round of voting for the FANtastic Exclusive on the FANtastic Forums as well as some information on the next round.

The big winner of the Four Horsemen’s FANtastic Exclusive 2007 (http://www.FANtasticExclusive.com) was actually the smallest choice. Action figure fans had the chance to choose from three different sizes for the 7th Kingdom’s “Elephant Swordsman”, and they chose the smallest of the three – 8” to 9” tall. The other two choices were 10” to 11” tall and 12” and taller. These sizes were chosen to represent the basic 6” scale of the Four Horsemen’s previous FANtastic Exclusive release, “Xetheus: Champion of Mynothecea”.

The Four Horsemen expect the next round of voting to begin early next week and will kick off with a discussion thread in the FANtastic Exclusive message boards that begins today. In the fourth round of voting, fans will once again get the chance to choose both the amount and style of articulation the “Elephant Swordsman” will be sporting.

Should he have the exact same amount of articulation as last year’s Xetheus? Maybe your idea is that the “Elephant Swordsman” needs more articulation since a swordsman would need to be quick and agile? Maybe you think the “Elephant Swordsman” doesn’t need as much articulation as some other figures because he’s a bulky, hulking elephant? Hey, now’s your chance you tell us!

So, just drop by the FANtastic Exclusive message boards over the weekend, get in on the discussion, and let us know what you think. Then, early next week be sure to stop in again to vote for your articulation choices.

FANtastic Exclusive 2007. Your voice. Your toys. Your choice.
