Out of the Microverse and to the Big Screen…Abrams Looking at The Micronauts
From Lost, to the new Star Trek…JJ Abrams keeps bringing the goods and I for one am happy that a fresh face in Hollywood is able to remake/reimagine and create originals that continue to stir fans crazy. Although I was not a huge fan of Cloverfield, I loved the fact that it was a fresh and original take on the older big ass monster attach genre. So keep the fans guessing, it appears that Abrams is in negotiations to bring a bit of an offbeat but classic comic, The Micronauts, to the silver screen (make sure to check this link, a great site dedicated to the Micronauts!).

You Control the Hulk!! Well sorta….
One thing that I love are vintage toys and their commercials! Another thing I love beyond belief is The Incredible Hulk! So check out this “radio controlled” version of the jade giant. Sounds pretty amazing huh? Controlling the Hulk’s every move?! Wrecking havok on all that stand in his way? Well not quite, it was 1980 so you had to take what you could get. How about a blow up doll Hulk attached to a radio contolled stand? Well I certainly thought it was the shit! So what if the rest of his body didn’t move and he moved more slowly than a wasted tortoise! Check this out and see what all the rage was if you were a kid in 1980!
Michael Jackson teamed up with the Hulk? Well…um Sorta…
Everyone used to have a Michael Jacskon doll! They were the coolest ever in the 80’s. Kids all over were getting Michael mixed in with all of their normal action figures-heck I remember even including Michael on some adventures with my giant Hulk Mego! Now that was a strange team up! Since they were about the same size as Barbie dolls the girls would buy them and before you knew it Barbie would kick Ken to the curb for good ol’ Jacko. It was a tough year for the Ken doll! They were pretty bad ass action figures and had 3 different style ones you could get. I thought it would be cool to post the commercial for this super classic action figure.
