    A Word From One of the Creators

    From the desk of Eric Ratcliffe

    So this was sneaking in a few jokes where I could. I had to insult Jawas but only because I love them; I really think the Jawas were a personal favorite species of mine in A New Hope. Not to mention the reason Luke ends up on his mission to find his sister in the first place.

    Oh, and if you didn’t get last week what part Bill was going to play in this arc, for shame! Though I hope people laugh at the short round joke; that came to me right off the bat. Oh, and all kudos go to Chad for that awesome bumper sticker. I want one! Next week we get in depth with a very special Cantina scene! See you in 7! NC

    With a ultra light weight, 850 fill down, a classic style and perfect fit, this down jacket is a perfect accessory for anyone. On the trails or in the city, as a shell over a hoodie or as a layer under a shell for heavy weather, the Nau Down Shirt was run though it all and passed with flying colors. Sure winter is coming to a close, but here in Ohio it’s still pretty chilly, and this is just the right weight to keep you on the trails for those extra miles. $195. Necessary. NC

    Alright, so the Unleashed toy line as been around for awhile, and for most, they seem like steroid enhanced action figures(for the most part they are). They’re the sort of thing you would’ve given you left arm for growing up, and the Iron Man Unleashed figure, may just be one of the coolest ones yet. With 28 points of articulation, and looking like he just jumped off the pages of a comic book, this is Very Cool. He stands about 10 inches tall and comes with a display stand. While everyone else is talking about the movie toys, set yourself apart and make the rest of the geeks at the office red and yellow with envy. Old shell head has never looked better, just don’t let your boss catch you playing with it on company time. NC

    Robert Downey Jr not only stole the show at the Academy, but he then proceeded to give us another great appearance on Jimmy’s show. The new trailer packs quite a punch, showing us at least 2 new Iron Man armors, War Machine in more detail, a shady deal being made between Justin Hammer and Whiplash, an army of Iron Men, and the (wait for it) Silver Centurion armor in suit case form!

    Hit the jump to check out the new Trailer… Read more »
