Those folks at MAXVEL never go cheap, they even include the masks for maximum enjoyment!

And I am loving the designs, just when we thought, everything had already been done in the world of armor:

Three great additions to any collection … if you can find them!

If you have taken a look around the site, you might have noticed a couple of entries dedicated to bootleg superhero toys (here and here). I have been getting a few more … As it turns out that there’s a lot of bootlegs out there, you just need to know where to find them, so in the coming days I will be posting about some of the ones I was lucky enough to get.

DSC02838

Starting with The Amazing Spider-Man, aptly subtitled “All the vogue all new edition the best gift for you!”, because in a lot of ways, this is the perfect Spider-Man package, as it contains:

– Two spiders in a respectful wink to the origin of Spider-Man

DSC02839

– Spider-Man almost in the original suit, but because the people who made this are not limited by IP they went and put two spiders on the chest, because this guy was probably bitten by the two spiders above

DSC02840

– What would Spider-Man be without his nemesis, Gold Venom?

DSC02841

– Remember that Spider-Man story when he traveled to ancient Egypt and 17th century France and built his own skateboard? If you don’t, you clearly haven’t been following Spider-Verse, I am sure it was there somewhere.

DSC02842

– Clearly, the previous one might have been an artistic license, but I am 100% sure I have seen something similar to this in Spider-Verse:

DSC02844

– And, of course, the world famous Spider-Gun:

DSC02845

What kid wouldn’t want all of this, I ask you?

In an effort for other people to be able to identify other items from this collection in their possession (and would you please let me know), here are some pictures from the back of the package:

– They thought the skate and the gun were such good ideas they made two of them, for what seems like 2 different sizes of Spider-Man. The smaller one has only the one spider on his chest, while my mega-alpha Spider-Man has two because he’s bigger:

DSC02847

– Yes, they all have light coming out of their chest (a common thread on most Chinese superhero toys post-RDJ’s Iron Man). I REALLY dig that black Spider-Man with silver shoulderpads, gloves and boots, though:

DSC02848

And remember:

So, a couple of weeks ago, I was checking random comic covers (as most of you probably do) and I fell in love with this diamond:

3b53d55b4dfda36ae8b80c9f4d764995_l

I received the comic yesterday (could I do anything else but order it immediately?) and, if I have the time, I will write a “review” on the comic itself whenever I get to read it. Good news is that the cover artist is the same as the interior artist, a gentleman by the name of Bill Fraccio, who (I confess) I wasn’t familiar with. It turns out he’s awesome.

Just look at some of his other covers:

4a78dceeec83b0fee18731fb6b0437f0_xl

9430

To make it all even better it turns out he’s the very same artist of Dell’s positively psychotronic Dracula (as if I needed any more reasons to love this guy):

564581 1587998-9546_400x600 10157080_981115466590_1056124826_n

 

GENIUS! I will get back to you (maybe) when I read the Blue Beetles, because now that I know it’s the same guy who drew Dracula, I am doubly excited about them!!!

I recently did an online version of the fantastic METRODOME by genius gentlemen Craig Collins and Iain Laurie, a project where a great deal of the fun comes from learning how the project was developed. The online version does not have any of that information, but it’s a really fun read.

Here is the official website: http://metrodomebattle.blogspot.co.uk for additional information and ordering.

Here is the official trailer:

Just click on the logo to read the online version:

Take a look, you will not regret it. Iain Laurie is quickly becoming one of my favourite artists and you are missing out big time if you remain ignorant of his incredible work, so you are welcome!!!

Still going on about games, sorry, I will get over it after the weekend, most likely. Anyway, I just found out that there were (at least) two X-Men games that were never released.

One of them was supposed to be called X-Men: Mind Games and was going to be released for the wildly unsuccessful Sega 32x platform. Here, the cover(s):

And another example of a cover that was drawn and then someone asked for a painted version. Anyway, here’s a video clip of the prototype:

I know, absolutely horrible. Still, just a prototype …

The other one was going to be a Genesis/MegaDrive game called X-Women: The Sinister Virus and here’s a promo clip featuring some footage:

Where they trying to target girls with that last one? Who knows?

As mentioned in the previous post, the SNES games are mostly the same as the ones for Genesis/Megadrive (except the X-Men games, which are different, the additional Japanese Spider-Man game (extra tip: the passwords for the different levels are the family names of Spider-Man’s foes)) and MOST IMPORTANTLY my favourite super-hero game for a while: WAR OF THE GEMS, if only for Thanos’s appearance.

Some of the covers are the same, so I didn’t go crazy looking for all the covers and just included whatever I came across:

More Glenn Fabry drawing super-heroes, which I dig and check the differences between the covers for Captain America in GEN/MD and SNES … Crazy, right?

Favourite SNES game, you ask? Strangely enough, this one:

ogre

Not sure if I am going to be doing more consoles, the covers for Playstation games start OK, then turn horribly wrong with computer generated art I don’t even feel like looking at. I might do Gameboy/Color/Advance, but there are so many that it might take a while … We’ll see!

With the 16-bit consoles, we were able to finally recognize the characters on the screen and, even though most of them are mildly entertaining side-scrolling beat-em-alls, actually enjoy playing these games. As you can see on the box designs displayed below, comic artists started being used: that’s Glenn Fabry on Separation Anxiety, possibly Butch Guice on Captain America and that looks like Mike DeCarlo inking the Batman and Superman covers, over Jim Aparo? On the other hand, that led to abortions like that Punisher cover, but to be honest that’s what Punisher specials’ covers looked like.

Not only the product looked more attractive, games themselves were a quantum leap beyond what came before, and, again, the games are not even that good, but the possibility of manipulating these characters at home (there had been some good arcade games already, Captain America and Punisher being actually ports of arcade machines) instantly renewed our faith in humanity … There were good things coming, that much was undeniable!!!

I would normally include here the cover of my favourite Megadrive game, but they’re right above. The 2 games I played the most were the first X-Men (that music, playing as Wolverine) and Captain America and the Avengers (the list of enemies alone: Klaw, the Living Laser, Whirlwind, The Sentinels, Wizard, the Grim Reaper, the Mandarin, The Juggernaut, Ultron, and Crossbones), and even if I understand that they are not even close the best Megadrive games, they still bring good memories.

Next: the far superior SNES (even though they never had the awesomeness that’s X-Men, the SNES is the first system that featured Thanos in a game and superior versions of half of the games on this list)

In classic Fanthoman train of thought derailment fashion, let me tell you (as if you didn’t know) that the guys who do the Capcom illustrations for the Capcom VS series are simply amazing. I am guessing they are some sort of studio, but the two names I hear more often are Shinkiro and Bengus and their art is truly amazing … I came across some of their work while looking for the cover art for the game cover series and it reminded me that I had never written anything about them, and that’s really unfair as the book they put out about Marvel vs Capcom is one of my favourite artbooks ever.

Drool all you want, it’s your computer after all!!!
