Sometimes there’s awesome stuff outside the world of comics. Here’s where I talk about it.
Star Wars mash-up toys
Endor Express has an exclusive look at the Muppets and Disney characters as Star Wars and Indiana Jones figures. My favorite is definitely Mickey as Indiana (complete with golden mouse idol), but a close second is Stitch as Yoda.
War Eagles
Robert Hood looks at a movie that almost was, and now might be again: Merian C. Cooper’s War Eagles. Had it been made it would’ve included “giant eagles, dinosaurs, vikings, Nazi-types and zeppelins over NY.” According to IMDB (for what that’s worth), someone’s trying to do something with the concept. And outside of movies, someone definitely is. Hood reminds us that BlueWater Production has got a comic version planned.

The “War Eagles” property is currently owned by the Merian C. Cooper family. Ray Harryhausen and Arnold Kunert have been granted an option on the property to produce a film version and other related materials. A comic book version is NOT among those materials at this time.
