Yeah! I have some pretty cool news from my friends at the Warner Archive. They are making the recent Batman animated series The Brave and The Bold Season 1 available on Blu-ray! I know a lot of you are like me and prefer to buy in complete seasons, and in the blu-ray format, which is why I love this. Some television shows, especially animated ones are not given this treatment. So I am into this. Here is more info below:

Hello Heroes!

Oh wow. This one is awesome. Bedrock City has a new exclusive Funko POP! and it’s really cool. It’s Superman as he looked in the DC Comics series Kingdom Come. Taking place in the future, Kingdom Come sees an older version of Superman who returns after a long absence.

Bedrock City has the exclusive version of this Superman and can be pre-ordered now as it is set to ship in September.

While I don’t usually go in for variants, this one is too good to pass up. Definitely on my list of POP! figures I want to add to my collection. If you want to get one for yourself, here is the Bedrock City website HERE.

Stay Super,
Tanya Tate

This new three minute trailer for the upcoming Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D is actually pretty happening. I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't on board with this idea. I didn't like the little mini-movie Item 47 and this initially felt derivative of the Marvel Cinematic U, because you know you're not going to see any of the stars. So, I think that's why I wasn't buying into it. But having watched this trailer, I'm a little more receptive. I'm not sold on it just yet, but we'll see.

In this trailer, while we do see some of the same clips we've seen before, we do get a little more. Check it out:


Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is coming to the ABC network this September.

Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films, as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson's team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage; Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen), expert pilot and martial artist; Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker), brilliant engineer; and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge), genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker, Skye (Chloe Bennet).

This May 26th the new animated series from Marvel, Avengers Assemble, makes it debut on Disney XD. I have been writing about the series all week, but now it turns out you don't have to wait until Sunday to watch the first episode because now through Saturday May 25th it's available for a free download on iTunes!

In episode one: When Captain America is apparently destroyed by Red Skull, Iron Man reunites the team to avenge him.

Yep, you can download that sucker right now and watch the Avengers Assemble. Click here to get yourself going.

Iron Man joins Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Falcon as they assemble to fight the foes no single Super Hero could withstand! Now, they must battle a team comprised of the planet's most dangerous villains, The Cabal, a group joined together under the leadership of The Red Skull!

I just wrote about the upcoming Marvel animated series Avengers Assemble that is coming to Disney XD this summer and now I have more cool news about the show. Here are 3 promo clips promoting the series. We see everyone in action - Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widwow, Falcon and Hawkeye. Villian wise - I saw Modok and what looked like the Red Skull in Iron Man's armor.

All are very short and don't give too much away, however one line did stand out - "We had our reasons for disbanding the Avengers..." Makes me wonder if this is a reference to Avengers: The Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the previous animated series, or the Avengers movie.

Check out the clips:






As noted, Disney XD is giving viewers a sneak hour long preview next week, May 26th with the series launched in July.

Hello Heroes!

I have started collecting these Kotobukiya Bishoujo that are simply brilliant. They are sexy versions of various superheroes and other characters. I just found out that there is another one on the way, Marvel Comics' Kitty Pryde of the X-men.

She's in classic Blue and Yellow costume with her faithful dragon, Lockheed. Would you like to see some pictures?



Wow, she has quite the booty, LOL! Here is more info about the Kitty Pryde Bishoujo statue: Based on a new illustration by Shunya Yamashita and sculpted by Mangusai Touda, Kitty Pryde stands slightly under 8 ½ inches tall, on a specially designed display base, in the current Marvel Bishoujo Statue 1/7th scale.



You can pre-order this Kitty Pryde from Amazon right here. Are you collecting these too?  Let me know which ones I should have on my list by leaving a comment below. I'll be reviewing some of my stautes on my Youtube page Youtube.com/TanyaTateTube.

Until next time, Stay Super
Tanya Tate
