Colin Trevorrow Announces ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ Is Completed

‘Safety Not Guaranteed’ director and co-writer Colin Trevorrow made the huge announcement on social media that ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ has concluded its production.
“Last night we put the last bit of reverb on the last roar. Thanks to Al Nelson, Gwen Whittle, Pete Horner, Chris Boyes and everyone at Skywalker Sound for putting so much heart and soul into our mix for #JurassicWorldDominion. It is alive,” he said on Twitter.


It will mark the sixth film in the Universal Pictures ‘Jurassic Park’ franchise that was originally kicked off by ‘Jaws’ director Steven Spielberg. Trevorrow had previously directed the fourth film ‘Jurassic World.’
According to Slash Film, the shooting had a bit of trouble during the pandemic as lockdown policies caused the production to be shut down for four months.
“The blockbuster began lensing in February of 2020, then got shut down on March due to the pandemic, and thanks to a handy insurance loophole (no longer available for post-Covid productions) was able to resume shooting four months later with proper (and expensive) protocols in place,” they reported.
The dinosaur epic is now set for a June 10, 2022 release date. It features an ensemble cast of returning cast from across the six movies including Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Daniella Pineda, Isabella Sermon, Justice Smith, Omar Sy, and BD Wong.
Dern told People about the returning cast saying, “It was an amazing thing to join my original cast members and go down memory lane, from that experience in the beginning of a franchise through the whole course of these films together with all the key cast members who have been working on these movies, as well as [director] Colin Trevorrow and Steven Spielberg, who is like family to me.”
Steven Spielberg is joining the film as an executive producer.

New Gorillaz Figures Are Ready For ‘Strange Timez’ In Space

Superplastic will be releasing four figures based on the Gorillaz Song Machine video ‘Strange Timez.’ Set for sometime between February and April 2022, Noodle, Russel, Murdoc, and 2D are decked out in spacesuits and feature glowing eyes.
The vinyl figures do not feature any articulation, but Murdoc and Noodle both come with “anti-gravity” bases. Each character is 12″ tall and can be pre-ordered as a set for $420 through Sideshow.

2D, Murdoc, Noodle & Russel are prepared for ‘Strange Timez’ in spacesuits and jetpacks with light-up eyes and special gravity-defying tools for Murdoc and Noodle! Suited up in the drippiest 12-inches of vinyl, don’t miss your chance to add the Gorillaz: Spacesuit Set to your Superplastic collection.


The music video isn’t as memorable as others over the past couple of years, but the song is the typical Gorillaz fare.
The fictional band debuted their first album in 2001 and sparked an interesting success story. Over the years, the band members have grown, changed, and evolved. Within the past couple of years, 2D’s eyes now appear white instead of black, while Noodle has had one hell of an arc that is partially outlined in the band’s biography Rise of the Ogre. But, of course, Russel is no longer haunted by his late friends, and Murdoc is … still Murdoc.
There’s a lot of effort put into a band that doesn’t exist. Who would have thought what had been an early ’00s curiosity would turn into such a phenomenon that has managed to last two decades?
The merchandising has been bland, at least here in the US. There are some figures, t-shirts, and whatsits. But, unlike other IPs, you don’t see kids Halloween costumes of the band members or breakfast cereals. Though … would you really want to eat something with the Gorillaz branding on it?

Marvel Comics Unveils First Look For ‘King Conan’

Marvel Comics announced a new adaption of novelist Robert E. Howard’s fantasy character Conan the Barbarian, which will explore the hero’s “last stand at the edge of the world.” Marvel revealed the series will be written by Jason Aaron with art from Mahmud Asrar and coloring from Matt Wilson.
“Jason Aaron and Mahmud Asrar return to the saga of CONAN in an all-new adventure that takes the story of the Cimmerian further than has ever been revealed in ANY media to date! As Robert E. Howard posited, when King Conan grows restless on the throne, he sails west, toward land and adventure unknown,” Marvel said in a blog post. “Now see the first step of King Conan’s fateful journey from Aquilonia, as an old and terrible danger threatens to end the saga of the Cimmerian once and for all in KING CONAN #1!”
They add that the comic book series ” arrives with the might of the Cimmerian’s hallowed history behind it.”
Marvel also released some “first look” images from the first few pages:


As D-Rezzed previously reported, Jason Aaron spoke with Newsarama about the comic book series.
“I knew as soon as Mahmud, Matt and I finished ‘The Life and Death of Conan’ in Conan the Barbarian, one of the absolute personal highlights from my career as a comic book writer, that I wasn’t done hanging out with everyone’s favorite Cimmerian.” He said, “As King Conan rode into the sunset at the end of that story, with his son, Prince Conn, by his side, I always knew where I wanted that story to take us next.”
Aaron added, “Now, at last, comes that next chapter, as Mahmud, Matt and I reunite to reveal a pivotal moment in Conan’s life as a king, as a father, as a mortal enemy of snake-worshipping Stygian wizards and as a barbarian who was born to chase the wind, even to the ends of the earth.”

S.H.MonsterArts Reboots Godzilla Singular Point’s Jet Jaguar

S.H.MonsterArts Reboots Godzilla Singular Point’s Jet Jaguar

Jet Jaguar! The silent size-changing robot found itself with a new body and voice in Netflix’s Godzilla Singular Point anime. So naturally, Bandai sprang on the opportunity to turn the newly remodeled hero into an S.H.MonsterArts action figure.
Standing at 6.3″ tall, Jet Jaguar comes with all the articulation you’d expect from a Bandai figure. Unfortunately, he is also as pricy as you’d expect at $109.99 at the Big Bad Toy Store. He’ll be arriving in May 2022.
The redesign is interesting. Jet Jaguar is now less humanoid and more robotic with a large barrel chest. He looks a little bit like Tetsujin 28 now, but with a red, white, and yellow paint scheme.

From the Godzilla Singular Point anime series come an S.H.MonsterArts figure of Jet Jaguar! This fully articulated figure has been recreated with great detail and features weapons and accessories featured in the anime.

Jet Jaguar comes with all this in the box:

  • Jet Jaguar figure
  • Alternate hands
  • Anglias Spear
  • Jetpack
  • Yun Arikawa figure
  • 2 Antennae
  • Flight mode support pillar and stand

Now, everyone sing along!

Jet Jaguar first appeared in Godzilla vs. Megalon. It’s a somewhat silly entry in the Toho Godzilla series in the 1970s. However, as seen above, the character was more memorable when the film got riffed by the MST3K crew.
I wonder. Since the American Godzilla films have now tackled MechaGodzilla, King Kong, Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah, when will we see a dark and gritty Jet Jaguar on the big screen? Also, given that the plot of the last film was thrown out of the window so we could have monkey VS lizard action, would it even matter how/when/where/why Jet Jaguar came into the story?

Arcade1Up Now Offering ‘Kids & Kids at Heart’ Pac-Man Bundle

In August, we covered Arcade1Up’s new kid-sized arcade cabinets. With big buttons and plenty of soft plastic, it’s kinda like a Fisher-Price “My First Arcade” setup. Now, Arcade1Up is offering a bundle for Kids & Kids at Heart. This set comes with the new tiny Pac-Man machine and the full-size cabinet for $599.99.

Arcade1Up
The smaller machine comes with Pac-Man, Dig Dug, and Galaga. The full-size cabinet is packed with 12 Namco games, including Mappy, Galaga, and several Pac-Man titles. This combo pack of retro-goodness will start shipping in late November.

Arcade1Up Jr. is a 3-foot-tall, kid-sized arcade cabinet with oversized buttons, an eye-level 8-inch screen, and a lightweight, but sturdy, design – just the right size for those early years and it fits snuggly in kiddie corners everywhere. Arcade1Up Jr. PAC-MAN™ comes with the classic retro games PAC-MAN™, DIG DUG™, and GALAGA™.
For the big kids, we have the BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Legacy Edition arcade machine. The marquee game, PAC-MAN™, is just the start of the phenomenal line-up of 12 classic games that will bring you right back to the golden age of arcade gaming.

I’ve been modding several Arcade1Up cabinets over the past month. With a bit of tweaking and a Raspberry Pi, you could turn the tiny Pac-Man machine into a retro gaming powerhouse for your kid. But, I wonder how that giant joystick would fare while trying to play Marvel VS Capcom?
What are your thoughts on these child-sized arcade machines? A gateway to retro gaming for kids or a potential insta-regret purchase? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

New Homelander Figure and The Boy’s Featurette ‘Seven on 7’

New Homelander Figure and The Boy’s Featurette ‘Seven on 7’

Another month has gone by, and a new Vought-sponsored Seven on 7 newscast is out. We can all trust news coming from the same company that made murderous superheroes and supervillains, right?
Seven on 7 unabashedly spoofs major corporate media and the host, Cameron Coleman, sounds suspiciously like Tucker Carlson. Who can you trust when the news is bought and paid for by such a shady company? Go full-on Alex Jones, of course!
The spoof news broadcast fills us in on what is going on between the second and third seasons of Amazon’s The Boys. We’re introduced to a new character, Crimson Countess, along with some more teasing of Vought’s likely push to make Soldier Boy the new-ish face of The Seven.
There’s also some more lampooning of how huge companies advertise to specific communities and manage to trivialize their struggles. So yes, there’s more “Brave Maeve” stuff. Now she has her own Inclusive Kingdom area at Vought Land: The Super Park.

Speaking of the face of The Seven, what will become of our wayward homicidal “hero” Homelander? First, he lost his Nazi girlfriend. Then, he lost the mother of his child. His kid is now in protective custody. Well, he gets zero screen time in this Seven on 7 video, but we found out he is getting a new figure from Star Ace Toys Ltd.
This 1/6th scale Homelander can be pre-ordered now over at Sideshow. And yes, he does come with a bottle of breast milk—you dirty, dirty people.

Sideshow
Homelander will be $280 and will ship sometime between May and July 2022. Here’s what you’ll get in the box:
Head

  • One (1) portrait with serious expression and light-up eyes function

Body

  • One (1) seamless body with over 30 points of articulation

Hands

  • One (1) pair of open hands
  • One (1) pair of hands for resting on hips
  • One (1) right hand for holding milk bottle
  • One (1) right hand for holding photo

Costume

  • One (1) jumpsuit uniform with printed detail
  • One (1) pair of shoulder armor
  • One (1) belt
  • One (1) cloak
  • One (1) pair of boots

Accessories

  • One (1) milk bottle
  • One (1) photo album
  • One (1) vial of Compound V
  • One (1) figure stand

Are you looking forward to the next season of The Boys? Let us know in the comments.

Funimation Announces ‘Restaurant to Another World’ Season 2 English Dub Announced

The 2013 urban fantasy manga ‘Isekai Shokudou’ has been published in English as ‘Restaurant to Another World’ by Seven Seas Entertainment since June 18, 2019. It is written by Junpei Inuzuka and is published by the Japanese magazine Shufunotomo. Its popularity led to an anime adaption in 2017, which kicked off its second season titled ‘Restaurant to Another World 2’ in 2021 after a four-year hiatus.
Funimation announced on their website that they had acquired the rights to produce an English dub that will stream to their app for North American audiences.
“Order up! We’re excited to announce that the Restaurant to Another World 2 English dub is officially headed to Funimation as part of the Fall 2021 anime season lineup,” they explained on their website. “Episode 1 of the Restaurant to Another World 2 English dub arrives on Funimation, returning us all to the fantasy isekai world where the patrons are mythical creatures and beasts of all kinds—and the food is delectable.”
“The English cast of the series includes Christopher R. Sabat (Dragon Ball Super, My Hero Academia) as Chef, Jill Harris (The Quintessential Quintuplets, SSSS.GRIDMAN) as Aletta and Monica Rial (Dragon Ball Super, Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!) as Kuro,” Funimation said.
The rest of the cast includes Corinne Sudberg as Alicia, Charlie Campbell as Artorius, Marcus D. Stimac as Captain, Tyson Rinehart as Gaganpo, Trisha Nishimura as Hilda, Jeremy Inman as Lionel, and Xanthe Huynh as Ranija. Caitlin Glass will serve as ADR Director.
You can check out the trailer here:

MyAnimeList describes the synopsis:
“In Tokyo lies a small restaurant called “Western Cuisine Nekoya,” ordinary in every way―save one. Every Saturday, its door connects to another world! Follow along as a cavalcade of curious guests from half-elves to samurais, dragons, halflings and vampires enter its premises, all with the same goal in mind: to fill their stomachs with the most mouth-watering of foods.”

Funimation Releases ‘My Senpai is Annoying’ English Dub

The “slice of life” romantic comedy manga ‘My Senpai is Annoying’ is written by Shiro Manta and released through the Japanese publishing company Ichijinsha. It originally hit stores in 2017 and continues its run. In 2021, it was picked up for an anime adaption by the animation studio Doga Kobo and directed by Ryota Itoh. Funimation announced that they were premiering an English dub of the anime.
“Talk about work-life balance! We’re excited to announce that the My Senpai is Annoying English dub is officially on its way to Funimation, and we’ve got your details on the series cast, crew and more,” Funimation said in their initial announcement. “Episode 1 of the My Senpai is Annoying English dub will arrive on Funimation, so if you haven’t met Futaba, Takeda-senpai and the rest of the office crew just yet, you’re about to get the perfect chance.”
They continued, “The English voice cast for the series includes Risa Mei (Kakushigoto, SHADOWS HOUSE) as Futaba Igarashi and Patrick Seitz (My Hero Academia, Kemono Jihen) as Harumi Takeda.
The show also stars Kenny James as Chief, Luis Bermudez as Hijikata, Mark Allen Jr. as Kazama, Austin Sisk as Ooishi, Jennifer AuBuchon as Sakurai, and Madeleine Morris as Tsukishiro. Jerry Jewell is serving as the ADR Director.
You can check out the trailer here:

MyAnimeList describes the synopsis:
“At a certain trading company, saleswoman Futaba Igarashi has managed to hold her respectable job for almost two years thanks to the guidance of her senior coworker—Harumi Takeda. However, due to Igarashi’s short stature, Takeda often teases her and treats her like a kid, leaving Igarashi constantly annoyed by his antics.
Despite this, Igarashi notices Takeda’s reliability as he is always ready to help whenever something at their workplace goes awry. As Igarashi and Takeda spend more time together, their relationship soon develops further than simply being coworkers at the office.”

New Casey Jones and April O’Neil From NECA, Undercover Raph From Super7

I can’t remember a time when classic TMNT, including the cartoon and movies, were so present on store shelves as they are right now. So whether you’re a fan of the original comics, the movies, or the cartoon, you can find an action figure to your liking.
Superhero Hype reported on three new figures coming out. NECA is producing two from 1990’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles while Super7 is making a new Ultimates TMNT figure.
Super7’s Ultimates line is taking advantage of the $55 price tag and is giving us a figure with a whole lot of stuff. Undercover Raph comes with the following:

  • 2 Interchangeable heads
    • Realistic expression
    • Vintage toy-inspired expression
  • 10 Interchangeable hands
    • Pair of fist hands
    • Pair of open hands
    • Pair of grip hands (vertical hinge)
    • Pair of grip hands (horizontal hinge)
    • Pair of Sai gripping hands
  • 2 Spy Sais
  • 2 Ninja stars
  • Night vision goggles
  • Private eye pistol
  • Super sensitive eavesdroppin’ dish
  • TV Camera
  • Tripod
  • Meat lovers pizza slice
  • Soft goods trench coat
  • Surveillance spy case with stickers
Super7

Raph is available for pre-order now at the Big Bad Toy Store.
I’d thought NECA had made all of the characters possible from the original Turtles film, but here we are with a new farmhouse, April and Casey Jones. Both figures come with several accessories, including multiple heads, hands, and props. April also comes with the two sketches we see her working on after the group fled the city.

Honestly, I’d like to have the farmhouse, Casey. It would be cool to make a diorama with him and Donnie as they attempt to fix the old truck. I loved that scene as a kid.
What are your thoughts on these upcoming releases? Looking forward to the TMNTIII figures that you know will come out sooner or later? Let us know in the comments.
