Turtle Van Doing Its Turtle Thing
So Michael Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie is in full-on production, with set photos floating all around the web. I haven’t been following this movie very closely, and I’m not sure why. Ninja Turtles was probably my favorite cartoon as a kid, and I wasn’t too miffed when the Michael Bay camp said his turtles were going to be aliens. It’s stupid, but I can be forgiving. We preach peace and tolerance here at Henchman-4-Hire.
The truth is I simply don’t want to clog down my blog with pictures of Megan Fox or guys in motion-capture turtle suits. Neither of those things is legitimately interesting to look at. However, a new photo surfaced today that I just had to share! Because if there’s one thing I’ll definitely post on my blog, it’s pictures of the Turtle Van!
We all wish we had one
Or as some of you might know it, the Party Wagon. I like it. Though how are they supposed to drive with the window blocked up like that? And would it have killed them to make a 100% accurate version of the cartoon Turtle Van? That thing would be boss! I like that the movie is actually including the Turtle Van. I have no idea what to expect from this upcoming film. Will it be any good? Does it even need to be good to succeed? Clearly people pay tons to go see the crappy Transformers sequels.
Yep, I’ll Be Buying LEGO Marvel Superheroes the Game
I recently beat LEGO Batman 2 the other day, and it was a load of fun. And then just like real life, LEGO Marvel Superheroes looks even better! Check out this Comic-Con trailer.
I did not know that the Blob was in the game. That is awesome. I am a huge Blob fan, and I definitely intended that pun. You’ll see how much of a Blob fan I am soon (hint, hint). But for now, that game looks fantastic. And big. Clearly it is also big.
Things That Make Me Happy: Action Figures of My Favorite Characters
I’m a pretty big action figure guy. I’ve been that way since I was a kid. They’re one of the purest forms of superhero memorabilia, and I just love collecting them and putting them on display on my Geek Wall…ladies. Anyway, Comic-Con is usually a great place for companies to show off their latest action figures. Comic-Con International was no exception, and I spotted some awesome action figures I’ll want to grab when they go on sale!
Such as Songbird, who recently topped my list for characters who should be Avengers.
She’s big on Twitter
Unfortunately, she’s wearing her crummy new costume, where she looks like some shrill punk rocker. Ugh. Still, Songbird action figure!
Then there’s Boomerang, the star of the new Superior Foes of Spider-Man comic, which I loved.
Boomerangs never go out of style
Fortunately, he’s wearing his awesome new costume! So I’m excited about that. I’ve got to get Boomerang. He’s a must.
And here’s Batroc ze Leaper! He’s going to be appearing in the upcoming Captain America sequel.
The man, the myth, the mustache
Though he probably won’t look quite so ridiculous.

First Look at Nova Costume!
Marvel Studios indisputably confirmed this past weekend that the Nova Corps would be in Guardians of the Galaxy, which means that someone must have read my List of Six about the things I want to see in the movie. Nova Corps was #2 on my list. So I am very, very excited about this confirmation.
For those who don’t know, the Nova Corps are intergalactic space cops. Using the rocket-like power of the Nova Force, they patrol the cosmos ensuring law and order. They’re pretty much a knock-off of the Green Lantern Corps from over at DC Comics, but something tells me Guardians of the Galaxy is going to be a much better movie than Green Lantern. Just a hunch.
Unfortunately, as excited as I am to see the Nova Corps on screen, I am less than thrilled at their costumes. Join me after the jump to see the uniforms in all their glory!
