Pre-Order Hot Toys General Zod Sixth Scale Figure!

One of my absolute favourite things about Man of Steel would have to be Michael Shannon's maniacally uncompromising General Zod who managed to wreak just as much havoc as Superman, but had the cooler costume. Hot Toys have decided to immortalise him as an insanely detailed 12 inch figure and needless to say, he looks amazing...

I think I would quite like a grimacing alien general on my shelf to scare the crap out of foolhardy kids who try to touch my stuff. If you're already sold on him, then rush to pre-order him here from our friends at Sideshow Collectibles: General Zod DC Comics Sixth Scale Figure

Review: Lego Man of Steel: Superman Metropolis Showdown!

Okay, Hollywood, listen up and listen good. If you’re making films that AREN’T made into Lego sets then I don’t want to hear about them. And let’s agree to stop giving awards (looking at you, Oscars) to films that don’t have a single Lego set, and yet are absolutely ripe with potential. Lego Life of Pi complete with tiger and boat? Lego Les Miserables Prostitute Docks with an Anne Hathaway minifigure who has removable hair and a miserable face printed on the other side? LIFT YOUR GAME, HOLLYWOOD.

Luckily plucky director Zack Snyder knows where it’s at, and refuse to let his Superman reboot Man of Steel go by without some well-timed Lego tie-ins. Zack Snyder wants Lego and he will defend this right with his fists! Probably. The smallest set: 76002 Superman Metropolis Showdown has just landed on my desk (because I put it there). And clearly this set represents the scene where Superman and General Zod argue about who’s going to pay to park their car.

I’m going to talk more bullshit... after the jump!
