Living The Toysrevil Lifestyle (Jan/16/2011)
I enjoy a relatively simple lifestyle - which might consist of freebies (ala online contests), hand-drawn sketch-cards and prints, adidas sneakers, Star Wars (best bet combo of both), and superhero live-action movies. Yes, I am a simple guy after all. CLICK THRU for peeps, and hit me at toysreviler [at] gmail.com!

LamourSupreme has been releasing sketch cards thru his Flickr for a while now - generally priced at US$25 per Pentel Bursh Pens and Pantone markers on 2.5" x 3.5" Illustrated Board, bagged with header card. Intensely cool, if you ask me. But you didn't - so go stake out his Twitter-stream @LamourSupreme for updates instead.
The first 25 customers who made they way down to Kidrobot SF for Junko Mizuno's release and signing of Junkocat Chococat, was greeted with literal hand-drawn prints from Junko (for the first 25 customers) - did I mention hand-drawn"?

I have never been fully convinced with Chris Evans being cast in the role of "Captain America" in the Marvel Comics' big-screen live adaptation - mainly because I felt his jaw-line is not as pronounced as it could be in the mask. But hey, I'm not running the show here, and at the very least, the costume is looking pretty Elseworlds-nifty here, innit> (Yes, I know EW is DC Comics). Image via SuperHeroHype.
Actor Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man (via @SHH) in the big-screen reboot of the successful franchise (by Sam Raimi, starring Toby Maquire as "Peter Parker"). I really do not see the need for a reboot, but I reckon with this "new" possibly-Ultimate version, the franchise begins in school and may well drag on much longer, and no doubt keep the cash-tills ringing, and of course fanboys around the globe in geekery-glee .. hopefully…
