Plus, it still beats the pants off of that crappy ‘Thunderbirds’ movie released back in ’04.
‘Thunderbirds Are Go!’ debuts on April 5th in the UK, and April 12th in Australia, with no word on a US release (yet).

An Update On The Sharps Bros. ‘The Jack’ AR-15 Lower Receiver
Monday, March 23rd, 2015
Back in February, I wrote about a stylized AR-15 lower receiver shaped like a skull, produced by custom lower receiver shop Sharps Bros. The original article featured a 3D printed model developed for check fit purposes, however by this point they’ve graduated to full-on aluminum models. Currently, Sharps Bros. is awaiting an ATF variance to clear before they can start mass production. According to the Sharps Bros. Facebook page, we should expect more information on pricing and availability starting April 1st.

Spectre Teaser Poster
Tuesday, March 17th, 2015
First observation nearly everybody made (thanks ‘Archer’): Bond’s wearing a Tactleneck!
Second observation: We get it’s iconic, but you can do a lot better than a Walther PPK is this day and age, Bond! Also, keep your damn finger off that trigger!
Third observation: As with ‘Archer’, the outfit is clearly a ‘Live and Let Die’, possibly even a ‘Bullitt’ reference.
NECA Reel Toys – Rambo Action Figure
Tuesday, March 17th, 2015
This is a 7″ Rambo Action Figure released by NECA as part of the Reel Toys line. Confusingly, despite being part of the ‘Reel Toys’ line, it’s actually a special version which pays homage to the 8-bit NES Rambo video game, and comes in special packaging that mimics the original game box. To this end, Rambo comes complete with orange-colored bandana, pants, and boots, and a stylized paint job. His accessories include a bow and arrows, combat knife with sheath, hand grenade, and RPG.
Unfortunately, this one’s going to remain SIB for the foreseeable future, but I did manage to scrounge up a product image so you know what the figure looks like.
