It’s good to see Robert Downey, Jr.  back in the Iron Man costume.  Looks great.  Also, we get a glimpse of two other characters from the upcoming sequel, namely, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Mickey Rourke as Whiplash.

I loved the first Iron Man and am eagerly anticipating the sequel, although I am a bit concerned about the rush to develop the sequel in time for a summer 2010 release.  Here’s hoping Jon Favreau and company get it right.


Lego Zombies

July 16th, 2009

I was conducting research online for an upcoming zombie-related project when I stumbled upon these:

lego zombie 1 Lego Zombies
lego zombie 2 Lego Zombies
In a word: awesome.
The Lego Zombies are the work of artist Andrew Bell of DYZPLASTIC based in NYC.
The Zombies are actually quite large – 19″ tall and made of painted plastic, metal, and resin.
I especially enjoy the little details: the Lego-style font and logo, the painted-on ribs showing through the first Zombie, and the severed hand of the second.  Also, it’s very subtle, but the second Zombie’s hand is upside-down; perhaps the poor guy got his hand wrenched the wrong way at some point before turning…
Click here for even more images of the Zombified Lego figures and fun before/after photos of the artist and his creations that proves even Lego Zombies crave the real deal (not just Lego Brains)…
LEGO BRAINS!!!!
