Tetas de Muerte

Local 3D Animation students filmed a mock movie trailer for a Grindhouse Contest (no doubt they got extra credit for it too). Looks like they had lots of fun with the editing and effects.
Here's the website.
Watch the trailer.
Something about rampaging robots, mini skirts, car chases, and lethal boobies.

    McFarlane's Simpsons Figures - Series 1

These are a big step up from the recent Hanna-Barbera figures - the staging is clear, the poses and attitudes are strong, and true to the characters. Three out of the five are iconic scenes from the show. The dissect-able Scratchy is a great touch!

    Gentle Giant's Bust-Ups! have also done a great job of serving up more obscure cast members and picking really striking variations of the main characters in their own toy lines.
