“I’ve always admired this character; a cold and calculating man who specializes in torture and information extraction.

I saw this over on Superherohype.com and thought I would share it with you OGers! I have to say, I’m very impressed with the trailer and scene, and if all I get out of the movie is the enjoyment of the 10 minute Silent Interlude homage, then it will be worth the price of admission! Easter egg: Pause it at 1:12 and you catch a glimpse of a H.I.S.S. tank in action!

From the desktop of Lantern_Lad:
“Yesterday I found this little gem and I wanted to take the opportunity to show you what it can do! Personally I think this is what a playset should be… with all of the debate on cost, and shelf space… Playmates has figured out a clever way to keep the cost down while providing a medium sized playset that takes up very little shelf space!
How much space?
In pizza box mode: 9.5″ x 9.5″ x 2.5″
In Anchovy Alley playset Mode: 10″ x 10″ x 18″
Opening the box:
Artwork on the inside flap shows the figures released already and figures coming soon: Snake Weed & Baxter Stockman are some awesome upcoming additions to the collection!”
From the mind of Str8cash:
” This is my cobra desert unit. I am still working on some additional vehicles for the set and currently only have 1 of each of the soldiers.
(These are) my very first customs that I did from concept to completion. First paint and everything. I used to just mash and commission others to paint for me. Got expensive so thought I would take a crack at it. Painting is CRACK. You should see all the projects I have going.”
The OG13 Custom of the Year contest starts tomorrow with the 1st quarter. Let’s make this the best 1:18th custom contest in the world, right here on OG13. Pass the word around and lets see those insane customs. The winner of the 1st QTR will compete against the 2nd-4th QTR winners for Custom of the Year at the end of 2013.

From the desk of ozzie92:
“Okay, I am putting up my POC Alley Viper and Dollar General Duke (MOC) to the first person who says they want ’em after passing the 35,000 post in the PIF thread. By that, I mean the giveaway is triggered once we as a collective group pass the 35,000 post mark! There must be two separate posts, but not necessarily two separate winners. Good luck and get to posting!
Note: This must be claimed before anyone hits post 36,000…or it is off the table. There should be ample time! ”
