Jessica Alba’s Sin City Select Action Figure is in Stores Now!

In 2004, Art Asylum made the first action figures of Jessica Alba for her TV show Dark Angel. Now, ten years later, Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum have revisited the iconic actress for another figure, based on her role as Nancy in the Sin City movies!

image

With the newest installment in theaters, this all-new assortment of black-and-white figures is available now at comic shops and specialty stores, and we thought we’d show off Nancy in some new action photos! Sculpted by Jean St. Jean and possessing over 16 points of articulation, this figure can strike a wide array of poses, just like Nancy did on stage at Kadie’s Club Pecos.

Weapon Brown Signing at Forbidden Planet

image

Many of us contributed to the fantastic Kickstarter for Jason Yungbluth’s independent comic series Weapon Brown – The Funny Pages… Weaponized!

image

So, hearing that Jason would be do a signing here in NYC at Forbidden Planet was a great chance to shake his hand and thank him in person for his hard work.

image

I personally donated and proudly own the hard bound edition, which was one of the higher tier levels in Kickstarter. But our newest staffer, Shawn Morales didn’t have a copy.

So, we jumped on the R train and headed for Union Square.  Jason is a gracious creator and a funny person to boot.

Shawn walked away with a soft cover edition personally signed and even included a little doodle of Weapon Brown himself.

image

We couldn’t recommend this book enough, please go and buy it. If you want a copy hit up www.Whatisdeepfried.com for more info.
