Graphic designer Abduzeedo posted about the new Joker action figure on their blog and I had to write a little about it myself. The likeness of Heath Ledger is uncanny, and the use of actual cloth really makes this piece stand out. I recall seeing this figure at the New York City Comicon last spring, and it’s even more amazing in real life. The photos aren’t far from the truth, however, and any fan of the series or even action figures in general will be jealous of anyone they know who owns this intricate figure.
The figure is made by Hot Toys and comes with a bunch of great accessories including two different head styles, a mask, a case full of grenades, money, cards, and much more. It hasn’t hit the shelves yet, but when it does I’ll be waiting in line.

This video premiered at the MTV Movie Awards on June 1st, and it’s absolutely hilarious! I love these guys, I can’t think of a better combo for a great comedy.
There’s a slight bit of dark humor involved, but if you’re a fan of anything involving comics and witty remarks then you’ll dig this. Either that, or you’ll marry it.
Check out the video here, you’ll be glad you did.
All around the world people are flocking to the theaters for the release of the blockbuster movie “Iron Man“, but what if Iron Man was real? As technology advances in the world, so do projects based on super human exoskeletons and robotics based artificial intelligence. What if an Iron Man suit could really exist?
As it turns out, Popular Science released a video today that shows how an Iron Man type exo-suit is quickly becoming a reality. Although not nearly as polished as the popular comic book character, this XOS Exoskeleton developed by Ratheon shows how far engineers have come in this particular category of technology.
Another great article posted on PopSci.com tells more about the process and capabilities of the XOS Exoskeleton.
A few more videos found on Engadget explore even more into the possibilities of this exoskeleton. This video gives the most information and footage that I’ve found and it’s really, really cool. The man in the exoskeleton is able to lift 200 lbs. without thinking, he can run, go up and down stairs, let go of the exoskeleton to perform a task and grab back on instantly, and much more. With these kinds of technologic advancements, how soon will it be before we have armies of robots fighting wars for us? That’s a scary thought.
