Dark Horse releases Femina & Fauna: Camilla d’Errico’s Art Book and it is indeed a real treat, IMHO. Priced at US$22.99 - the 112-page hardcover book is filled with the gorgeous artwork Camille is known to produce. The book will be available from January 26th, with sales from retailers and e-tailers starting February 2nd. To promote the upcoming release of the book, Dark Horse is giving away an original sketch drawn by Camilla for the giveaway (above-right)! All you need to do is leave a comment on the DH blog for a chance! We here at TOYSREVIL loves our D'Errico - who was last interviewed in-depth here!

I'm going to straightup cut-n-paste the entire blog entry of artist Jeremy Fish, because simply it says it all without the need for me to reword it and pretend it's my own:
"my gang, THE SILLY PINK BUNNIES, is celebrating 20 years of being a mean gang this year. coincidentally 2011 is the year of the rabbit. this statue and mural is a tribute to the the gang and our history in the lower haight. viva la bunnies! see you this easter." = Glorious Bunny, Good Bunny! Long time no J.Fish toys tho, innit?

I've posted about the live-action SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO Japanese movies since before my Stroke, and have been wondering how it was. Scheduled for a December 1st release in 2010, I;'ve attempted not to read reviews for the flick, and remain intrigued and excited to watch it. Posted above is yet another re-look at the trailer, but this time with English subtitles. Anyone with a proper headsup, please?
I've resisted blogging about scenes and toys from the third installment of Michael Bay's take on Transformers for quite a while now. Perhaps it was the disappointment of watching Revenge of the Fallen .. but have re-watched Transformers 1 and geekout over the opening sequence when Blackout transformed from helicopter to Decepticon (*sigh*), I somewhat had "hope" again … and perhaps might take another stance and look at Transformers 3: Dark of The Moon - the Teaser Trailer of which is posted above (thanks to Matthew for the FB-headsup!).
