RATHER CHILIDISH IS RATHER AWESOME !
I've recently discovered my new favorite blog: 'RATHER CHILDISH'. There you can find rad photos of [primarily] Vintage Star Wars Figures posed, lit and framed for pure awesomeness. I've posted some of my favorites - check em out!
Note: I've added a permanent link to Rather Childish to the right under "LINKS".

MARVEL KIDS
Has anyone else noticed that Marvel has recently de-aged both LOKI and APOCALYPSE into little boys? I guess they grew tired of all the GENDER-SWAPS, YOUNGER COUNTERPARTS & SPAWNING and moved onto "New Ideas".

X-MEN: AGE OF X
As a life-long X-Men fan & reader it broke my heart when, after 25 years of collecting (and 46 years of stories) I dropped Uncanny X-Men due to Greg Land's art.
Currently, I'll sporadically pick up some X-Stuff based on recommendations and/or the rare solicit (btw, "Second Coming" was fucking awesome! Available in trade now). This isn't that pertinent to the post, but I feel I must bring up the dropping of Uncanny due to Greg Land's art and to give you an idea of where I currently stand as an X-Fan. With that said....
Like most X-Fans I'm a sucker for Alternate/Future X-Men stories; "Days of Future Present" and "Age of Apocalypse" being 2 favorites. X-Men: Legacy writer Mike Carey is set to give us a 7-part alternate reality crossover entitled "AGE OF X". Carey says, "The whole world has become hostile territory, impossible territory for mutants. There is one fortress (a sort of Mutant Helm's Deep), where all the surviving mutants are invited to come [and its the 11th hour]". Here's some promo artwork:
"Age of X" begins in January with Age of X: Alpha #1 and will continue through New Mutants #22-24 and X-Men Legacy #245-247. Fingers crossed this one will be one of the "good ones"!

SCORE: VINTAGE STYLE MAIL-AWAY BOBA FETT
Yay! My Mail-Away Vintage-Style Rocket-Firing BOBA FETT arrived! And it's oh-so pretty! The figure is from the original 80s mold with Vintage-Style packaging. Plus the rocket fires!
To get the mail-away figure, you have to send in 5 UPC codes which would mean spending about $50 on figures, then an additional $6 for shipping (Total = $56-60).
Well, thanks to the awesome tip by WOO, I bought 5 UPCs off ebay for $11. So I only spent $17 total for the figure! SCORE!!!
Thank you Woo!
