Yeah.

Those "Girl sized" Legos have been pretty controversial but they have sold well, we're told. And you can make a cool tank out of them. And thus, someone has used one to make a "Tank Girl" video. And here's how to build it. Apparently there's a special file style just for building Legos. The march of progress.

A wedding is in the air for My Little Pony, as Princess Cadence and Shining Armor are tying the knot...and the hearts of bronies everywhere are pounding all the faster.

We have hundreds of images from Toy Far to sort through, but we'll just start out with a few highlights. Over at Kotobukiya, even the dolls were representing the Brokeback!

It seems that for 2012, Lucasfilms has decided on using "Shirtless Darth Maul" as their brand licensing image. Great choice!

We'll have more descriptions of these when we have more bandwidth. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek. Lego Gollum and Lego Helm's Deep!

DC and Lego have teamed for an app that offers all-new, all-free comics. This could be significant, for reasons explained below.

We don't know HOW we missed this story when it originally broke as we're such huge fans of The Brick Testament at Stately Beat Manor. Lest you forget, this is one man's crazy 10-year quest to retell the Bible using Legos a gargantuan task of posing and photographing, not to mention compression.

Everyone has been linking to the various Halloween goodies at Wonderful Wonderblog and the pictures of old Ben Cooper kids Halloween costumes from the 70s and 80s. It's a pretty remarkable sign of the progress in human evolution that we have gone from a holiday based around molded plastic masks of various characters accessorized with garish nylon jumpsuits to a holiday based around Sexy Nurse.

If you have been around the nerdier sectors of the net in the last decade you have surely seen The Brick Testament, by Brendan Powell Smith a loving recreation of the BIble's most gruesome, perverted and vengeful moment rendered in Lego brick men and women. What you may NOT have known is that the whole glorious thing is coming out this month in a paperback from Skyhorse.

Anyone in the LA area who is bummed over the postponed Wizard World LA show scheduled for September 24-25 should be aware that Power-Con is still on for those dates. This small two-day fan show is focused on Thundercats, He-Man and She-Ra. It's a small show but sounds like a swell afternoon if you're into 80 animation. More info:

Founded by Cory Jones (ex Blizzard), John Nee (ex DC) Scott Gaeta (ex Upper Deck) and some other folks, Cryptozoic Entertainment is a newish company with strong roots and, from what we heard at SDCC, lots of things in the works. They're putting out a Walking Dead board game, and have signed with Diamond for distribution. Could there be more products in the works? Keep an eye on them.
