Handerpants!

For me, the Steregon sculpt from Nerd One is one of the coolest Kaiju sculpts to come out in recent times.  He’s based upon a cool concept (speakers for eyes!), is in a great pose, and has pretty decent articulation for a vinyl Kaiju piece.  This particular colorway is for Mark Nagata’s Kaiju Comrades 2 show (which happens to take place at The Design Fiesta Gallery in Harajuku, Tokyo this weekend!).  It’s a far more colorful version than the last one and now includes a sweet club as an accessory.

If you’re in Tokyo April 12th-14th, you really should check out the show.  Oh, and you should probably buy this for me, too. Thanks!

Having spent much time  on this here internet, I have admittedly developed a fondness for food blogs. I just think they are cool. Basically, I like food, and I like reading and looking @ pictures about it.

Now, lo and behold, it turns out one of Nerd City’s friends, Shea Hess, runs an awesome food blog called Hungry in Brooklyn, and frankly, it looks delicious. It’s a really cool concept, and all the food looks totally tubular. Shea hung out with us @ Barcade, and showed Nerd City around during our trip to NYC, and it’s awesome to be sharing space with her here on the world wide web.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I am going to get something to eat (boogers, most likely).

Go to Hungry in Brooklyn here.

Alright.  So, the idea is that we intend to have a bunch of cool stuff going on at Nerd City’s booth throughout the entire C2E2 weekend (April 16-18).  First and foremost of which will be an amazing lineup of artists doing live art, signings, and selling limited edition merch!  Keep checking back here as we get closer to the event for all of the exciting details.  We are ready, however, to unveil the lineup for Saturday.  Here goes:

11 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Steff Bomb

1-3 p.m.

Veggiesomething

Stay tuned to Nerd City for more developments, but also be sure to click on each artist’s image to go to their official sites.  That way, you can keep up to date on all of their plans for the day and check out all of their great works.

It should be a blast.  If you haven’t gotten your tickets yet, get them here! And, be sure to use priority code WL192 when you get them.  That will help Max get that gold-plated car that he’s been wanting.

Also, you probably want to follow us all to the Double Door later that evening for Nerd City’s Official C2E2 After Party!  It will feature music by the Jai Alai Savant, dj sets by Genghis Won and Major Taylor, Nerd Burlesque from the Flaming Dames, and a Swedish Invasion signing from Top Shelf Comics.  You can get your tickets here. And, be sure to rsvp for the event here.

Capcom has officially announced the long rumored, and pretty damn near confirmed, inclusion of Hakan in Super Street Fighter IV. Hakan is a brand new character created for this game and based off of the below videos, he seems to be a cross between Zangief and Abel. I’m not too sure why they are relying on his gimmick of being oily and what not, but it clearly is a big part of his offense. Super Street Fighter IV will be released on April 27th for PS3 and Xbox 360. For those interested in the iPhoneversion of SFIV, it is now available for download for $10.

From our good friends @ Shawnimals, and our newest sponsor, Rotofugi, check these sweet new Ninjatown Zipper Charms!

Nerds worldwide are still waiting to hear how Amazon.com is going to handle a recent graphic novel pricing snafu that could cost the internet giant thousands of dollars and formally-dedicated consumers.

Blamed on a computer glitch, the mistake resulted in normally-expensive hardcover comic omnibus’ being sold for as low as $8. Originally reported on Bleeding Cool, Nerds from all over the world flocked to the mistake, buying multiple copies of each mislabeled book, skewing Amazon’s bestseller list for the better of two days. Now, Nerds want to know what will happen with their orders, as reports have surfaced of multiple cancellations and modifications.

The question is “what should be done?”. Should Amazon be punished for their mistake? Is it the Nerds, who technically have done nothing wrong, that should suffer?

Normally, this sort of thing could easily be ignored, but the sheer number of dollars involved, and the whole live-by-the-internet/die-by-the-internet thing makes this story of particular interest to us here @ Nerd City. Stay tuned for more updates as this clash of Nerd-ery continues.

Piece Brewery (awesome sponsor and home of the world-famous Nerd City podcast) is hosting their “Jam For Haiti” featuring legendary Cheap Trick-er Rick Nielsen Tonight!

Did you think you’d seen the last of the Muscamoot figure from The Lake Monsters line of Midwest kaiju? Well, clearly, you were wrong!  Here is the latest and greatest colorway for this sculpt and it looks amazing.  But wait, there’s more!  It glows in the freaking dark!

From Rotofugi/ The Lake Monsters Blog:

Thanks to everyone who snatched up the first Brian Morris figure – Dredge Imperial colorway. If you are kicking yourself for missing out, you may want to pay close attention here as you will have a new chance to score the next Muscamoot later this week. And boy is it a beauty! Kirby, Chris and I put our heads together and came up with what I think might be our best Moot colorway yet. Painted with greenish -blue and black on Glow in the Dark vinyl.  Check out the pics and we will announce the exact day and time this week it will release.

So yes, stay tuned to Nerd City for more info about this version of the Muscamoot.

Or, get it straight from the source by checking back at the official Lake Monsters blog here.

Our good buddies over @ apparel/designer toy shop Jugrnaut are helping to host this badass show featuring Nerd City favorite Gza, and heart-attack-prone drunken Irish rappers House of Pain @ Chicago’s Congress Theater.

This week’s “Double Door Show of the Week” is a doozy. The Reverend Horton Heat is in town for two nights. Two nights!
