Gentle Giant: Colossal Samurai with Mini Gun from Sucker Punch Statue

This is pretty cool. But some reason, I can't get into statues. Now if this guy was fully articulated and made of die-cast, that would be a different story



"If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything."

Every bit as massive in polystone as it is on screen, Gentle Giant is proud to bring you the Sucker Punch Colossal Samurai with Minigun Statue. Representing the first obstacles in her quest for freedom, this gigantic warrior and its two brethren were quickly dispatched by Babydoll as she began to come into her true power. Now, this behemoth joins the rest of our line of 18" scale statues.

Featuring an unprecedented level of detail and hand-crafted by Gentle Giant's top artisans, the Colossal Samurai with Minigun Statue is a centerpiece for any true collector's display. Standing an impressive 23 inches tall and weighing almost 25 pounds, this gargantuan piece certainly lives up to its name! Hand painted and individually numbered, this limited edition 18" scale polystone monster of a statue comes with a matching Certificate of Authenticity.

Pre-Order yours for $449 at Gentle Giant. 18" tall.

Sucker Punch Concept Designs by Jerad Marantz

How a movie with such kick ass trailers and such bad ass concept art like this by Jerad Marantz could blow so hard is beyond me. It got a 30% on Rotten Tomatoes which is really bad and even after super low expectations, it still sucked. How is this even possible?













More concept art after the jump....

Takashi Miike: 13 Assassins

Cult director Takeshi Miike delivers a bravado period action film set at the end of Japan's feudal era in which a group of unemployed samurai are enlisted to bring down a sadistic lord and prevent him from ascending to the throne and plunging the country into a war-torn future.

Highly anticipated classic Samurai movie by cult favorite Takashi Miike. Never heard of him? Go rent "Ichi the Killer". All will be answered there. It's Miike's first feudal epic and while it's a classic story about a very bad Lord being taken out by a few Ronin heroes, the movie apparently still retains the flare that is Miike. Expect lots of violence, blood, gore and then some more.

Even though the movie was released last year in Japan, you can watch it On Demand right now through most content providers. It hits the big screen April 29th. I'm gonna watch it in my living room now.

"Mind's Eye" Samurai by Ryuji Oguni aka A.R.E. graphixxx

I love this demon samurai painting by Ryuji Oguni. How about a print / poster / t-shirt?
