Trailer Recap from Comic Con 2017

There was more than enough to be hyped about this weekend. Comic Con gave us plenty to look forward to and some of the best trailers a boy could hope for! In case you missed out on all the good times here are a few of the ones that you for sure need to see.

First up is Thor: Ragnarok and this is the one I think that got me the most. This just went from a movie I will check out to an opening night event.

Next up is the Defenders and the gang looks like they will be having another great time in the Big Apple. 

  

                          

Stranger Things season 2 will be picking up right where the first ended and with what we see here it look's like the Demogorgon will be a fond memory after all this.
                               

                       
 The Walking Dead came out with a pretty long trailer that is setting up the war with the Saviors and make sure to check out the end for a rad little hint at the future of the show.

The good news is that Westworld had something to show for season 2 and it looked awesome. The bad news is that we will be waiting until 2018 to see the show so for now enjoy a little glimpse of what's to come.

                         

There were also a pair from the CW for the upcoming seasons of Arrow and The Flash. I am still behind (I know, I am letdown by myself too) so I haven't watched these but I can't let that keep them from you.
             

                         

So yea there was a lot to see and while you check these out and get ready for your favorites to return we will keep you looking your best with all the best shirts for all your nerd needs. We have you covered with all the Defenders, Stranger Things, Walking Dead, Westworld, Arrow, Flash, and soo much more over at Shirtnado.com

Toy Fair NY 2017 Announcements

This weekend saw a ton of awesome new things announced in NY. I was looking around and didn't see any really good full coverage of the event so I went ahead and dug around to bring you some of my favorite things I saw.

Starting with Funko there were a few cool new sets they brought out and Westworld is one we are all stoked on.

 

These are still prototypes (that's why you see the wonky eyebrow colors) but they are looking just about ready to go and we will for sure have these up for sale as soon as they are released. Another one I'm sure we will have up is the Peter Parker wearing the Midtown shirt from the upcoming movie Spider-man: Homecoming.

Peter is rocking his Midtown look and so you are ready to do the same you can get your tee right here  . I am thinking this will be a good bundle idea like our Eleven Pop! and Beware the Demogorgon tee that we have up now at Shirtnado! so be on the look out for that this Spring! 

Now DC had a few things that I liked, the new Batman Black and White statues are up there, but the coolest figure I saw was the TV version of John Constantine (R.I.P.) If you were a fan of the show this guy belongs on your shelf. 

 

Marvel had a few figures I am stoked about but to keep it short I will just show 2. Honorary mention to the Nebula and Spider-Man Legends figures that looked amazing though. First up we have Moon Knight. If you aren't excited just based on that there isn't much I can do for you but this guy has needed a good 6 inch figure for a while and yea I would have loved the all white suit look in the current books but this will still do nicely.

 

The other I wanted to show is from the upcoming Netflix Legends line that will feature characters from all the Marvel Netflix shows. This Daredevil is one of the best sculpts I have seen in a long time and I can't wait to get online one night after a few beers and wake up the next day with a nice long set of pre orders. 

Before I leave Marvel I have to show this bad boy off. Last year Marvel put out a pretty fairly priced set of replica items. They started off with Cap's shield and Iron Man's helmet. These both MSRP at around $100 but I picked up my Cap shield for about $75 so some hunting as always can help you save a few bucks. This years set will be Thor's hammer Mjolnir which lights up, responds to your voice, and has a nice little base. The one I am pumped on is Star Lord's helmet though. This bad boy is made for adult size heads (bout time) and lights up as well but also has built in bluetooth headphones. So later this summer when you come by the Shirtnado! booth and see a guy wearing our Ravagers tee and a Star Lord mask dancing around to Redbone's "Come and Get Your Love" stop by and say Hi I might even let you try it on.

 

Lastly there were a lot of Lego sets I could talk about and don't be shocked if they pop up in a later post once I have built a few but I have to put up the Scarif Stormtrooper. I love the design of these guys and was hoping this would be a set so I can't wait to get this guy on the shelf soon. 

 

Alright that's a lot to digest and there is still a ton more. I'm going to link to some of the sites I was checking out to see what was announced so you can go down that rabbit hole yourself. Look for more coverage over at thefwoosh, gamespot,  toyark, and marveltoynews.

Funko Announces West World Pops!

West World was amazing, and so are Funko Pops! So it goes without saying we've all been hoping for this announcement, and today at Toy Fair NY Funko officially let the world know these Pops! are on the way. All we now as of now, is that they are coming soon. They'll  be at all your favorite retailers and we'll have them up for pre-order as soon as we have a solid release date. 

Westworld (Spoilers and theories)

Alright I was a bit late to the party on this one. I figured Westworld would be something I could get into but I'm pretty bad about keeping up on shows. Netflix has spoiled me like soo many others to just binge what I want when I want. So I was letting this one go until at least the season was over then I could just binge it how I liked. Cut to Thanksgiving night and I was full of turkey and decided to give the first episode of Westworld a shot. Well I am now putting up a blog so you can tell how this goes but I tore through the 8 episodes I had missed and now I am with the rest of the world wondering how the season finale this weekend will go.I will just say now that if you aren't up to date go get that handled right now. For the rest of us this will be a bit of a refresher on the big points heading into this weekend and some ideas of what may go down.

First let me just say please don't Bernard be done. I mean it, he is my new Charlie.(Talking about Charlie from LOST another show I went down the rabbit hole with) I was genuinely surprised when he was revealed to be a host and even more so when his apparent plan to show his independence went so badly. Is Ford really so far ahead with his planning that all of these seemingly free will based choices are just moves he has made or was he lucky to have the safe guards up he did and barely made it out? What will be his story coming out of the finale? He has a new "story" he has been working on for a while and it seems to involve the town in sand that seemed to be the start of all of the trouble in the park 35 years ago. There is also the other hosts who seem to be coming to and working their way free of the control put upon them one by one. Will Maeve get her army and make her way to freedom or is this another idea that is destined to fail at Ford's hands? Will we find out who Wyatt is and will the theory that it is Dolores be proved true? After last weeks revelation that she killed Arnold and he flashbacks to the massacre it seems like there are enough hints to show it could be her. If what she said to Teddy in episode 1 about "his path always leading back to her" maybe their stories were changed after the massacre and he is meant to always be tied to her either as a safety measure or a punishment. After all their love story is doomed to fail in their loop again and again. If you had the power that Ford has and someone killed your best friend an ongoing loop of misery might be how you punish them. Then we have the Man in Black and like LOST it just feels right to have a character referred to as the Man in Black. Will he get to the maze and will another popular theory that he is actually William be proved true? On this particular theory I am pretty undecided. William had a real rough go on the last episode and his newfound murderous intent does seem to go in line with the Man in Black's ways of doing whatever he feels needs to be done to get to the maze and learn the truth of the park. Here is where I am just tossing out an idea though. I haven't watched the Michael Crichton directed Westworld film from 1973 but I have seen the trailer and it seems to show a Man in Black wrecking shop who appears to be a host. Now I could be totally wrong on that and even if it is, who is to say that parts haven't been changed from the film to the show. I am holding off on the movie until after the show ends in case they are following it and I end up ruining the show for myself but that part has managed to keep popping up as I watch. We didn't even touch on some of the smaller story lines like Stubbs being caught going to look for Elsie or what will happen with William's best bud Logan. If you are wondering where I stand on those 2 long story short is Stubbs is Ok and Logan slightly less so.

I could easily turn this into novel but we are all a bit confused and making connections as we go so I won't go deeper into my own ideas. Trust me you don't want that. During LOST I was one of the people reading the books Sawyer read, pausing to see where the numbers popped up, and being on the message boards during commercials. I can get way too deep in these things so I will spare you all from that, unless you want to get into the deep in which case feel free to comment here, facebook, twitter, instagram, hell come

stop by the shop we can fire up some episodes and really nerd out. Until then though we will leave you to rewatch the first 9 episodes before the finale comes this Sunday. In honor of my newest obsession we have put out a shirt for everyone's favorite watering hole and we are tossing in a free maze sticker to the first 50 orders here. 

One last thing is you are in the Pittsburgh area come check us out at the Steel City Con in Monroeville next weekend. We have some new designs premiering at this con and a load of Funkos that you will have first dibs on there. So come out say hey and tell me what you thought about the finale.
