Avatar Busts Are Go

Avatar is probably going to pick up a load of awards this year. Whether it will win Oscar for best picture or not is anyone's guess, but it will definitely be taking home several Oscars.

For those of us who want a memory of the film what better way than with a bust? Well ok, I personally could do without a bust of any of the male characters, but Neytiri is another matter ..

How about you?

I've a thing for Star Wars memorabilia as you may have noticed.

Batman Tshirts

A few months ago there was a lot of talk about the new batman movie - The Dark Knight - when it got its general release. It was recently released on DVD, so you can expect to see plenty of more talk about that ...

However, if like me, you're into your cool tshirts why not grab one of these bad boys?

If you're a fan of the Dark Knight, then this special release from Warner should make your mouth water:
dark knight bluray special boxsetThe boxset includes the two disc blu-ray AND a badpod (the motorbike that Christian Bale rides in Dark Knight)


Unfortunately it only appears to be available via the Warner Store and they won't ship dvds or blu ray outside the US!

The Wizard of Oz (the original not that horrendous remake) is a great film. As a child it used to give me nightmares, so the idea of a Barbie Wicked Witch of the West struck me as a bit odd, but I'm not exactly a Barbie expert....

In any case Mattel are releasing a Wizard of Oz collection of Barbie dolls for late 2008 / early 2009, as it's the 70th anniversary of the film's release.

I imagine they'll be available for pre-order from most online shops including Entertainment Earth, Amazon etc.,



I have to admit that I've always found Puss 'n Boots from Shrek to be one of the cutest characters to ever grace the silver screen.

Unfortunately if you trek out to Universal Studios in California you won't find much in the way of merchandise featuring him. It's a real pity, as Shrek simply is not cute.

McFarlane produced a very nice Puss 'n Boots figure a few years ago:

I've seen several for sale on eBay, but most of the regular online stockists either don't have any left or are almost sold out. (Entertainment Earth had only one left in stock at time of writing and I'm really tempted to grab it!)

EDIT: The piece on offer via Entertainment Earth would appear to be by a different company and is NOT the McFarlane version, but the Attakus version which is produced by a European company. More details here.

I've seen some odd memorabilia, but a miniature version of the Ark to use as a business card holder?

Who even uses business card holders?

Iindiana Jones arkj of the covenant

If you really really want one (I know I don't!) they'll be on sale for Christmas supposedly. The official Indiana Jones shop carries them as does Grand Prix Legends

I'm not sure if I'd want this in my bathroom, but I can see how it might appeal to some people's sense of humour:

You can grab your own blood covered shower curtain over here!

I love picking up mugs. Not only are they useful, but some of the designs are really cool.

How about this Darth Vader mug?

Can you imagine drinking your morning coffee from one of these? You can practically feel the force!

Edit: the link to the mug has been fixed - thanks to Heather for spotting the error!

Indiana Jones Mania

One of the biggest film events of 2008 is going to be the release of the next Indian Jones film starring Harrison Ford.

The release of the trailer a couple of weeks ago led to a lot of excitement online (and offline), so it's only natural that merchandise vendors would also be cashing in. Of course they're producing some really nice Indian Jones related products, so I wouldn't complain too loudly.

One of the products that I'd really like to get is this figure of Indy on a horse

You can pre-order it here and with the current Euro to dollar rate it works out relatively cheaply for a high quality product

If like me you're a fan of batman, then you probably love the batmobile used in the last film Batman Begins.

The actual vehicles used in the making of the film can be seen on the Warner Brothers' lot most of the time, though they're currently not on site.

I took some photos of it last year:

However it's a bit too big to put in my sitting room!

So instead I opted for this little baby:

batmobile.jpg

As you can see it's got the "original" pre-spray camouflage colour. In the film Bruce Wayne sprays it black after being taken for a test drive.

You can get these cars from HotWheels, though there are shipping restrictions
