Comicbook.com had some exclusive comments from Keiji Ota, CGO (Chief Godzilla Officer) at Toho Co.

“We’re thrilled to unleash a world of content around our most beloved Godzilla. Fans have been longing for a universe that celebrates the all-mighty king of monsters and Godzilla.com delivers the most exciting news and stories about upcoming events, new merchandise and special releases as we commemorate the 65th anniversary of Godzilla.”

The site is going to be updated with news, contests, new products, trailers, art events and more!

There’s also a list of all the films with release dates and information and a Monsterpedia that will be updated with monsters as the site progresses.

My favorite part is the option to turn a “rumble” feature on or off when you visit the site.  Turn it on to try it out!

I can’t wait for Godzilla: King of the Monsters to hit theaters on May 31st! In the meantime check out the Godzilla site!

‘Stranger Things’ The Upside Down Legos Are Coming!

Are you a LEGO fan? How about Stranger Things?

If you’ve answered “yes” to either or both questions then I’ve got some incredible news for you!

New LEGO Stranger Things 75810 Set is Coming!

LEGO has posted some teasers on Twitter for a few days now.

They’re so fun! Just watch!

 

This new set will have approximately 2287 pieces and will have eight Minifigures. By the box they are figures of Eleven, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Will, Hopper, Joyce, and a Demogorgon (I think he might have 2 heads so you can switch from open mouth to closed too!)

I’m not sure if we will get more sets based on the show or just this one, but it would be cool to have sets of the cabin, Hawkins Middle School, Hawkins lab, the arcade, a Bionicle type Mind Flayer (my son’s suggestion) or even the new Starcourt Mall! A Steve in a sailor suit figure would be kind of fun.

Here’s a look at the box and the set thanks to geekculture.co

I love how it’s our world and The Upside Down!

Plus they have Hopper’s station wagon!

This is one of the coolest things ever. We haven’t really bought LEGOs in awhile, but this one might have to be purchased! It’s just so creative and cool!

Here are some detail shots (you can visit geekculture to see more!)

No details on the release date have been announced yet, but we will make sure to keep you posted if we hear anything!

Remember the 3rd season of Stranger Things will premier on Netflix on the 4th of July!

Are you excited? I know I am!

New ‘Spider-Man Far From Home Trailer’ Dropped –End Game Spoiler Warning

Today Marvel dropped a new trailer for the upcoming Spider-Man Far From Home movie. It does contain spoilers for Avengers: End Game, so if you have not seen it yet you probably do not want to watch the trailer.

Honesty, most of the spoilers are out anyways though.

Rumors have been circulating about how Avengers: End Game will open up a multiverse and it appears that is indeed correct.

This is really smart as it can open up Marvel to recasting characters to play aging super-heroes in other films. I don’t know how the fans will take that, but it gives them the option. They can also bring actors back that have had characters that died in “our universe” or characters we haven’t seen yet, like Miles Morales.

Either way, it looks really good. I am definitely more excited about this one than I was for Avengers: End Game. Still not as much as Godzilla, but close!

Spider-man Far From Home swings into theaters July 2nd!

Star Wars Chewbacca Actor Peter Mayhew Passed Away at Age 74

It’s a sad day to be a Star Wars fan.

Actor Peter Mayhew, the loveable walking carpet from several Star Wars films, has passed away at age 74. Mr. Mayhew died at his home in Texas on May 2, 2019. No cause of death has been mentioned yet.

As someone who loves the classic Star Wars films, it’s a sad day.  We’ve been around pop culture and comic conventions for many years and every time Peter Mayhew was a guest people were so excited and told wonderful stories about how kind and gracious he was.

Star Wars Co-stars and George Lucas made statements about his passing:

 

George Lucas made this statement:

“Peter was a wonderful man. He was the closest any human being could be to a Wookiee: big heart, gentle nature…and I learned to always let him win. He was a good friend and I’m saddened by his passing.”

Mr. Mayhew’s official Twitter Account Posted this:

It’s hard to lose such iconic and wonderful people. First we lost Carrie Fisher and now Peter Mayhew.

Kiss a wookie in their memory.
