New York Comic Con gave us an early look at the upcoming 1/8 scale Ghostbusters Ecto-1 model kit from Eaglemoss. We take a close look at the details of this scaled replica and learn how the pieces will arrive in this weekly build up. The interior details and working lights are pretty impressive!
This week, we preview two upcoming VR games we played at Oculus Connect 6! Pixel Ripped 1995 is the follow-up to the fantastic indie VR game Pixel Ripped 1989, and Jeremy chats with creator Ana Ribeiro about the scope of the sequel. Plus, a look at the upcoming atmospheric puzzle game The Room: A Dark Matter.
At New York Comic Con, Adam Savage meets YouTuber/prop maker/cosplayer Clayton Parker (aka Uncle Jessy) for the first time! Clay shows Adam his Magneto costume, which is a mashup of the classic Jim Lee X-Men comic design and a modern looking statue from Sideshow Collectibles. Known for his 3D printing, this was Clay's first time sewing, but you'd never know it!
One of Adam's favorite cosplay costumes gets revamped and upgraded with an awesome animatronic feature! No-Face transforms into a hungry beast with a massive mechanized mouth, a build which ends up being much more complicated that planned. Shop assistants Jen and Mel also take on the task of fabricating foam props for No-Face to eat. This cosplay build ended up being quite a journey!
Fans of Godzilla films may know about X-Plus, the Japanese toy company that has long produced immaculate recreations of the king of Kaiju and his fellow man-in-suit monsters. We meet up with the company at New York Comic Con to chat about their approach to vinyl figure design, attention to detail, and the of obsessive world of Godzilla fandom.
In 2018, Beverly Downen of Downen Creative Studios went viral with her incredible Hela costume and super accurate (and adjustable!) headdress. For New York Comic Con 2019, she rebuilt and improved her suit, which in part included a technique of adding texture to fabric that totally impressed Adam Savage!
At New York Comic Con 2019, Adam Savage meets Regan Cerato and Scone of Cowbutt Crunchies Cosplay, two extraordinary makers and cosplayers. Adam was SO impressed with their costumes -- Helga Sercle, a boss character from a Korean MMORPG, and an original cosplay/sewing-inspired knight design -- we had to motion to him off-camera to please stop talking because we were running over time!
We meet artist and toy designer James Groman, whose King Korpse toy won the best Designer Toy of the Year award in 2017. We check out his latest one-off painted variant of the figure, and chat with James about his art style and origins of this jaw-dropping sculpt!
