Toy Fair 2013 Pt. 3

As far as genre shows go, one of the shows to have the very seasons this past year had to be Dexter!! And, fans of this show should love these toys and bobbleheads. A bunch of them are already out:

 
 
 

Let's be honest, here. Though useful, flash drives are pretty fucking boring looking. That was until Mimobot got into the business. They make some pretty awesome and fun ones based on such diverse geek and pop culture franshises as Star Wars, Transformers, DC Comics, and others.
The awesome BMO flash drive from this upcoming Adventure Time line is going to be limited edition, but not as limited as originally intended. Still, he is limited, so get your ass to buying him, if you see him!
Oh my fucking God! These Transformers and G.I. Joe ones maybe my fav ones out of all of them!!!
And, for my female readers, I give you some Hello Kitty! 

Unless you count pro-wrestling the only sport I watch religiously is UFC. I don't own any of their toys, but I really should. Sadly the one I won't most is no longer available. 
This variant is based on when the lovely Brittney Palmer (my fav UFC babe) worked in the now defunct WEC.
Sadly, she is sold out in both version! Shit! I didn't even they had made a figure of her!! :(
Jon Jones, one of my fav UFC fighters!!
Dear Dark Horse, please keep up with the awesome Game of Thrones statues!!!
 
Over at the Kotobukiya booth, AMAZING looking statues were at the call of the day!  
Based on the DC New 52, these statues go between 40-50 (Cyborg, the most expensive one in the the set) bucks.
 
 
 
 
 
  
The Iron Man above and below are based on the upcoming and hotly anticipated Iron Man 3!

And, now for something cute. I thought these killer whales were cool and adorable. Sadly, they cannot reenact the scene in Orca where the killer whale bites off Bo Derek's leg.

Warrior

Title: Warrior
Director: Gavin O'Connor
Writers: Gavin O'Connor, Anthony Tambakis, and Cliff Dorfman
Cast: Tom Hardy, Nick Nolte, Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Morrison, Frank Grillo, Kevin Dunn

Tommy (Tom Hardy), the youngest of two sons, enlists his former alcoholic father (Nick Nolte) to train him for an MMA tournament. Meanwhile, his older brother Brendan (Joel Edgerton), a former UFC fighter turned high school teacher, is facing eviction along with his pretty wife (the leggy Jennifer Mossison) and their two kids. He decides to return to the world of MMA (mix martial arts) to get the cash he and his family desperately need. But, this estranged family are on the path on confrontation.

This is an excellent and amazing film. One does not need to be a fan of MMA to enjoy it, since there is a lot of great aspects of it that will appeal to all fans of quality cinema. Of course, if you are a fellow fan of this great sport (I, myself, simply love MMA), then you most definitely need to see it.

The acting is perfect from the whole cast. Hardy gives my favorite acting of the year, so far. He plays a character that is tough and yet totally admirable. Edgerton is also great, as is Nolte (who I have always been a big fan of), both of whom add great sympathy to their respective roles.

The story is involving, though I wish the trailer didn't give away so damn much. Regardless, I felt myself get caught up in the story. I felt pumped up, and also moved. There are some touching and heartfelt moments (involving such themes as heroism and family), but also some genuinely kick ass parts of the movie that had me wanting to go whoop some ass myself. I found myself cheering during the duration of the film for both our heroes, throughout various parts of the it.

I also felt inspired by the movie. Here are two brothers who struggle to get where they are at. You want them succeed and feel for them, and even feel that you can do it, too (not fight in MMA, necessarily, but just succeed in general).

I love the way the fight scenes were shot and edited. There are some cool POV shots, where you feel you are getting pummeled. Hardy is a fucking animal in the octagon and made my blood pump as I felt ready to take on the world, myself. Fight fans should also pay attention, to the cameos by one of my fav UFC guys Rashad Evans and WWE/ TNA legend Kurt Angle. Angle's role is fucking cool, and if you are a fellow wrestling you will find the irony in it so awesome!

In all, Warrior is my favorite movie that I have seen so far, this year. It left me feeling great, as if I could take on the world itself, yet it was able to touch my heart as well. I give this movie my highest possible recommendation.

**** out of ****
