​Snake mountain sent to factory for pricing

Rob 3 Comments

By Robert “Rob Base” Greenwood

Yesterday, I teased that a “certain villain playset”  was discussed by Brain Flynn of Super 7.

I want to elaborate on this, while talking with Brain he stated that he sent Snake mountain to the factory to be priced. Essentially, what will this product cost to be actually  made. 
~Let me repeat~

This shouldn’t be taken as a confirmation or “IT” will be made. It’s more on  the lines of what will it take to make this a reality.  

Super 7 are fans and creators who do what they set their collective minds to accomplish. as a fan of what they (Super 7) have done in the past and what they have shown at NYCC. The MOTU property is in great hands.

We hope to get a actual number of questions answered soon so please stick with us and enjoy the ride.
Good journey

Wizard World Philadelphia 2016 is an great place for friends and family to go to

Julian Cannon Leave a Comment

Last week, me and my girlfriend Fidelina Roman had the opportunity to cover Wizard World Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Convention Center from Thursday until Saturday and we had an blast. There was many cosplayers, comic writers, contests, video game tournaments, face painting and much more for families and friends and kids can go out and geek out over there. People can go there and dress up as their favorite super hero, super villian, video game character and anything else that they love and show it off in good fashion. here are some pictures of good cosplayers and costumes that we have taken.



here is the video game tournament area where games such as Mario Kart 8, Street Fighter V, Super Smash Bros. for WiiU and more were featured


We have also attended some Q and A panels from WWE Superstars and the first one is former WWE Champion Seth Rollins as he discussed his future goals for Wrestlemania, having matches with Finn Balor and AJ Styles, his sacrifices and much more.

Seth Rollins Q and A

The Second one we have attended was Sheamus as he also is featured in the Ninja Turtles movie that was just premiering that week. He talked about that along with Daniel Bryan, different styles of wrestling, how did he feel when he became WWE Champion back in 2009 and much more. Before the Q and A ended, he gave a fan an autographed (signed by him) Ninja Turtles magazine.

The final one was WWE Sasha Banks as she responds to internet rumors, her thoughts on women’s wrestling and much more
