R.I.P Ray Harryhausen

I grew up with Ray Harryhausen movies in the 70s and it's his movies that started a lifelong love affair with cinema (especially fantasy cinema).

His last movie holds a very special place in my heart (Clash of the Titans) as it was the first movie my mum watched with me in at the cinema. One of my fave movies of his when he first started, I only have on VHS and It's Mighty Joe Young. I watched that time and time again as a kid. Christmas and Easter would not be the same if there's not a Ray Harryhausen on TV, but to date that's never been a problem as they are always on without fail.

I love each and every one of these movies and I have watched them all countless times. And I'll watch them countless more in the years to come.
R.I.P

Thank you for opening my eyes as a child to the wonders beyond imagination.

Injustice: Gods Among Us - Collector's Edition (Xbox 360) Photoshoot

Unboxing / Photoshoot of this boxset that was released April 19th 2013.

JT Says? I've not had much time to try out the game at the time of writing this (about 1 hour gameplay) but what I played was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to playing some more soon.

As for the statue you get? It's pretty ace. This boxset cost me £56 on release and for a game/steelbook/DLC/Comic and this really ace statue? I would say this was a good day 1 deal.... I love this statue and the reason I got the boxset was for that, so I'm very happy. The paintwork is good and it feels like a good quality (plastic) statue.

Thanks to youtuber 'Plume Reviewer'. Your review helped me decide on getting this piece. For more info on this bust check out her review http://youtu.be/i5nOTseXK0M

JT says? A very nice little piece from one of my fave Disney/Animated movies. There's some minor paint issues and the hands are pretty messy... But these are only issues when up really close. Overall I think this turned out well. I love how Rapunzel blends into the tower with the hair flowing around it.

Vertigo Cover Girls Death Statue - Photoshoot #1

A photoshoot of this superb statue of Death from the Vertigo comics released by DC Collectables. 

 Statue stands 11.5 inch. Sculpted by Jack Mathews
 Photography by JAMESTALKALOT 

JT Says? This really is a beautiful statue and almost everything about it is perfect... Almost! As is the case with a lot of DC Collectables statues? There are a few paint flaws here. They only show up though when zoomed in mega close with the camera and only around the torso area. The main problem is with the glue that they used to attach the umbrella to the statue. It's pretty messy if you take a real close look at it. At almost every angle though you can't see that and it does not take away from how amazing this statue is. 

Shelf eye candy rating? 9/10
