NEW Family Guy Star Wars Movie "It's a Trap" Announced

The creators of Family Guy have announced that the Star Wars Family Guy trilogy will be complete on December 21st, 2010, when fans can purchase the Family Guy "Return of the Jedi" spoof entitled, "It's a Trap!" on Blu-Ray ($29.99) and DVD ($22.98).

With the recent announcement that they will not continue on to spoof the prequel trilogy of films, fans will be eager to see what Seth McFarlane and company have in store for this final installment. Similar to Family Guy's "Empire Strikes Back" spoof titled "Something, Something, Something Darkside", "It's a Trap" will premiere as a disc exclusive, with speculation that a cleaned-up version will air on the network months later.

Attendees of the Family Guy panel at San Diego Comic-Con this past weekend saw an exclusive ten minute preview of footage. "It's a Trap" guest voices will include Carrie Fisher, Adam West, Patrick Stewart, Michael Dorn, and Rush Limbaugh as The Rancor.

Eye Survived Comic Con T-Shirt

Did you Survive Comic Con? Did you come back home without looking like a pirate?

If you learned nothing else from this year's SDCC, remember you should never take another geeks seat.

If you haven't heard the story, two guys were fighting over a seat at one of the panels at this year's Comic Con, and it lead to one of the guys stabbing the other in the eye with a pen.  Damn!

Head over to Mighty Fine to purchase this and many other wonderful t-shirts.

Mattel's 2010 Comic Con Exclusives

SDCC 2010 is almost here.  While we all wait anxiously for the panels, discussions, tributes, etc we do have the opportunity to satisfy some of our SDCC needs immediately.  Toys! Toys! Toys!  SDCC has many, many beautiful and unique toys this year.   Let's feed our comic con need by looking at a few of Mattels limited edition 2010 San Diego Comic Con Exclusives.  Many of these beauties will be available in limited amounts online after the convention through MattyCollector.com, though some of them have accessories that can only be had a Comic-Con.

Masters of the Universe Classics: Color Changing Orko, with Prince Adam

For the more traditional He-Man fans out there (and don’t be misled, there is absolutely such a thing as He-Man traditionalists). An old-school Orko, part of the “Masters of the Universe Classics” line. He even comes with a full-sized, fully articulated Prince Adam “accessory,” sweetening the $25 price tag. Also he changes color.

Mo-Larr vs. Skeletor

Let’s get this one out up front. Yep, it’s Skeletor, and he’s at the dentist. It’s inspired by a Robot Chicken bit, with Mattel’s press materials calling the two-pack the “first ever [Masters of the Universe] figures featured in a Robot Chicken sketch,” implying that there might be more figures from Robot Chicken sketches in the future. Even if you’re not a fan of the Adult Swim show, consider this your long-awaited opportunity to own a really nice figure of Skeletor missing a tooth. (Plus, it’s reminiscent of this awesome painting.) The He-Man exclusives are always great, and go quickly, so this should be an interesting test to determine the drawing power of an Eternian dentist. ($50)

DC Universe Classics: Plastic Man with Suitcase

The cool thing about con exclusives is that companies can really go nuts with the packaging and accessories. Case in point: this Plastic Man comes with all sorts of extra limbs and appendages — plus the glasses there on the packaging can actually be removed and worn, thus doubling as a way to spot the coolest dudes walking the exhibit hall! ($20)

Hot Wheels: Wonder Woman Jet

Apparently, this exclusive originated as an April Fool’s joke on the Hot Wheels Facebook group (those Hot Wheels Facebook jokesters!). Though given recent changes to Wonder Woman’s continuity placing her as growing up in urban America since early childhood, it should probably now be an invisible Jetta. ($5)

DC Universe 75th Anniversary Pack: Starro with Pack of Spores

GFEST CON FAVORITE: the original Justice League, in 3 and 3/4-inch scale, tackling Starro just as they did in their first appearance back in Brave and the Bold #28. The box also includes “lights and sounds,” plus Starro is bendy (bendy Starro!), making this a wholly appealing product. It’s good there’s no pandemic threat like SARS or swine flu this summer, or the bonus “pack of spores” might scare folks off. ($50)

Polly Pocket Dressed for Justice

As the loyal legion of Polly Pocket fans reading this blog have no doubt already surmised, that’s Polly Pocket and her pals Lea and Lila dressed as, respectively, Supergirl, Batgirl and what unearthed, carbon-dated artifacts have suggested might be a primitive version of the Wonder Woman costume. ($20)

Also available: a Mego-style talking Real Ghostbusters Venkman, a Hot Wheels Ecto-1, a 3 and 3/4-inch Lotso from Toy Story 3 and a Cars “Tokyo Mater;” all 20 bucks.
