Star Wars fans rejoice! Marvel has graced us with another series set long ago in a galaxy far, far, away, and this series features arguably the only thing good about Episode I: A Phantom Menace, and that is Darth Maul. Marvel has been making this latest round of Star Wars comics for nearly two years now […]
The post Star Wars Darth Maul Issue 1 Review appeared first on TheBlackGeeks.
With the recent confirmation of Jeff Sessions for Attorney General of the United States, Chris Evans has proved to us just how much he is like his film counterpart, Captain America. Evans recently tweeted his disappointment in the confirmation of Sessions. And his argument? David Duke’s praise for Sessions:
Duke is best known as a white nationalist, Holocaust denier, and former Imperial Wizard of the white supremacist organization known as the Ku Klux Klan. He also happens to support Donald Trump and his team, especially fellow white nationalist Steve Bannon.
Like an angry troll, Duke responded:
Evans quickly clapped back with proof of Duke’s racist history with some quotes made by the former KKK wizard.
Duke did not respond to Evans but continued posting anti-Semitic tweets, like the villain he is. Evans didn’t stop there. He then dropped some knowledge to his 4.93 million followers.
Chris Evans truly is our Captain America.
You’ve seen online Photoshops and sketches of what Popeye would look like as a real human. You may have been amused, or weirded out, and then never given them another thought. Mezco Toyz, however, went ahead an made an action figure that they’ve just revealed, and it’s both a work of art and the stuff of nightmares.
Shelly Duvall aside, Popeye characters simply were never meant to look like representative, real-world humans, and their cartoon flexibility was part of the fun. Brought to three-dimensions as part of Mezco’s premium One:12 Collective of super-detailed 6-inch figures, this sailor man looks like he got too close to the nuclear tests in the Pacific. If this is what an all-spinach diet does to you, it’s time to add more protein.
The detail is astonishing, from the realistic faded ink on Popeye’s tattoos to the dirt stains on his jeans. And since these figures usually come loaded with accessories, I trust we can expect spinach cans in various stages of squeezing, and maybe alternate biceps for when he powers up and flexes. More might be revealed at Toy Fair later this month–for now, you can check out a glut of new Mezco reveals (including Dawn of the Dead, movie Wonder Woman, and Netflix Daredevil) on their Facebook page. If Popeye sells well, I’m really curious to see how Alice the Goon translates into the same style. Or maybe they should try a realistic Asterix next.
Does this action figure blow you down? Sail below to the comments section and leave it strong to the finish.

Polaroids are great, but if you want to make your own weird version, Hackaday user Muth has a guide that links up a Raspberry Pi and camera to a thermal printer.
