Action Figure Therapy – Sexy Naked Halloween Costume Contest

Monday, October 31st, 2016

Do I even have to say this is NSFW?

DUSK Reveal Trailer

Sunday, October 30th, 2016

DUSK is a love letter to 90s First Person Shooters like DOOM, BLOOD, Hexen, and Quake, mixing in a heavy, metal-inspired soundtrack with ultra violence, tons of murderous enemies, a healthy mix of deadly weaponry, and retro, 90s-inspired graphics.

It comes out next year.

NERF N-Strike – Mastodon Mega Blaster

Saturday, October 29th, 2016

For when your current dakka is just not enough (and you can never have too much dakka), it never hurts to introduce a bigger gun with a large capacity. Such much the philosophy behind the development of NERF’s new N-Strike Mastodon Mega Blaster, because this thing is big, and it holds a health amount of mega-sized darts. The first ever motorized mega blaster developed by NERF, the Mastodon shoots MEGA Whistler darts out of a 24-round drum, distances of up to 100 ft.

HERA Arms CQR AR Stock And Forward Grip

Friday, October 28th, 2016

Coming to a Deux Ex sequel near you

This unique stock and foregrip combination has been making the rounds across the internet, and to be honest it’s a bit mall ninja-ish, but at the same time it also manages to be really damn cool. Like, I need to make a ‘for fun’ build out of these parts cool. Ghost In The Shell, Shadowrun, cyberpunk cool, if I may be so bold.

The two components are called the CQR Stock and CQR Front Grip, and are the creation of Germany-based HERA Arms, a company which specializes in manufacturing weapons and weapons accessories. Utah-based LAN World is the current importer of HERA Arms components into the USA, and supposedly they’ll be offering the CQR parts in the coming months. I, assuredly like many others, eagerly await their availability.

They’re also making a Commiefornia compliant version, so if you have to neuter your rifle, at least it can be done in relative style.

Adam Savage’s ZF-1 Prop Is Complete

Thursday, October 27th, 2016

The Fifth Element is one of my favorite movies of all time, because it’s a love letter to the kind of SciFi stories you’d see in an issue of Metal Hurlant / Heavy Metal magazine, and because it has a great cast, including Gary Oldman’s Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg, and his wonderful multi-purpose armament, the ZF-1 Pod Weapons System.

A weapon so iconic, in fact, that noted prop artist/mythbuster/all around cool guy Adam Savage took a crack at making his own replica, a project years in the making, and I have to say the finished product looks pretty darn great. The original ZF-1 was built around a blank-firing AKS-74U; long story short Adam’s isn’t, but it’s still really cool.

Star Wars Camo

Tuesday, October 25th, 2016

Wish the upcoming release of ‘Rogue One’ we thought it was a good time to share this Star Wars inspired Camo pattern.

If you’re curious where it comes from, it’s actually part of a bed sheet set; that’s right, you can sleep on this pattern!

An Introduction To Kirk Fu

Monday, October 24th, 2016

You can’t help but admire United Federation of Planets Captain James T Kirk’s unique fighting style.  

I’ve always like the double fisted back blow, but in the end, nothing Kirk does, is quite as effective as Commander Spock’s Vulcan Nerve Pinch.

TAC-SAC – Get Your Balls Back America

Sunday, October 23rd, 2016

There’s not a lot that needs to be said about the TAC-AC. Rather, it’s something that you get, once youve seen. Unfortunately, in this day and age, the TAC-SAC may be offensive to some, so I’ll suggest you not go to the jump unless you’re sure your career won’t be in jeopardy. (more…)

Innovation Factory – Trucker’s Friend Survival Tool

Friday, October 21st, 2016

truckers-friend_grande

First off, I want to start off with this: ‘Trucker’s Friend’ is a great name for a survival tool. Since that’s now out of the way, here’s the details: the Trucker’s Friend is a multi-purpose survial tool which combines an axe with a good number of additional tools, including but not limited to a hammer; pry bar; wire twist; and grapple hook in a 19.25″ long package, complete with “shock-absorbing PowerGrip” and fiberglass handle. Plus, it’s made in the USA (the city of Industry, CA, to be exact), which I always like to see.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Trailer

Thursday, October 20th, 2016

Is it a prequel? Same characters?

Trailer doesn’t reveal any of that, just that the game is going to be damn pretty.

“I heard you were dead.”

Wednesday, October 19th, 2016

From Neca comes this Mego-style 8″ Snake Plissken action figure. Unfortunately, it’s a discontinued item but I was fortunate enough to find one at Trilogy Comics in Va Beach.

The clothing is quite loyal to the ‘Escape from New York’ costume and includes suppressed and scoped MAC-10 along with scoped revolver. There’s even a throwing star and tracker bracelet to keep tabs on the President.

In addition to interchangeable hands, Snake also has his famous tattoo.

Chuck Norris Launches Bottled Water Brand Called CFORCE

Monday, October 10th, 2016

This is a cross-post from sister site Soldier Systems Daily. It’s too apropos for the usual coverage on this site not to share here.

Billed as a ‘Force of Nature’, new CFORCE from Chuck Norris is bottled right on his Lone Wolf Ranch in Navasota, TX. As you can imagine, if Chuck Norris is involved it’s not going to come from some boring tap in a factory. On no; according to the webiste, ‘doesn’t flow from the ground; it bursts from an artesian spring with the same unharnessed power and intensity you’d expect from Chuck Norris’ roundhouse kick.’ Pretty awesome.

Please note, a portion of CFORCE sales benefit environmental initiatives and KICKSTART KIDS—a charity that empowers at-risk youth. The Norris family has supported these causes for more than 25 years.

Thanks for the heads up Nate! Stay safe out there!

Suicide Squad Extended Cut Announcement Trailer

Friday, October 7th, 2016

Like BvS, Suicide Squad suffered from botched editing for its theatrical release. The ‘Ultimate Cut’ of BvS resolved some ill-explained plotlines and made for a much better movie, so here’s hoping the Extended Cut of Suicide Squad does some of the same when it releases.
