In order to kickstart and relaunch the Oilhouse, we gather a collection of motley people round to discuss burning issues in the world of comics!
And there is much burning.... Check out the episode ater the JUMP This week, It's the turn of Callgrim, from Rawshark Studios! Jesse created this Glyos-Compatable monster to be a bounty hunting beast, and that really shows through with the sculpt. There has been a ton of colourways for the mold, but this is the original and, to my mind, the best. He's also had some spymonkey creations weapons added, for maximum carnage!

Arrow star David Ramsey posted a new photo on his Instagram of what appears to be the new lineup for the show’s Suicide Squad. Diggle will join his wife, Lyla Michaels, along with Deadshot and Cupid. The Suicide Squad first appeared last season and originally consisted of Deadshot, Bronze Tiger, Michaels, and Shrapnel. Cupid is relatively a new character to the show. The last we saw her, Oliver Queen had captured her and turned her over to A.R.G.U.S. Deadshot actor Michael Rowe confirmed in a recent interview that the team would show up again on the 17th episode this season. There is still no word yet why the team has been called together or if this is in fact the full lineup. But...Not only that..... David Ramsey has also been talking about how Diggle could well be a Green Lantern: "Diggle can be a husband, a father, and a hero. He didn’t go through some type of tragic event. He’s a guy who grew up in the Glades, which is the hood, he did four tours, and he joined the special forces. This is a guy that I can be, that you can be, that any of the viewers can be, unlike the others who went through some tragic event and compelled them to become these characters. Diggle did through simple sheer force of will. That’s survival with regular folks. I think that’s part of the power this character has. When you cover it with a mask, he becomes something. That’s why in general we’ve been struggling with, “How do we give Diggle a mask of any sort?” Obviously, he’s out in the open, he has a wife and a child to protect, there’s a fair question about how we protect that identity and still keep him out in the field. That’s a very fair question and we’re working on it. Now, John Stewart… Is John Diggle John Stewart? I cannot say “yes,” and cannot say, “no.” The producers also threw in some comments: "I’ll say this: it is top secret. David Ramsey has asked them, and they’re like, “we’re working on some stuff.” If that’s the case, it’s gonna be huge. This is the stuff they want to avoid. I think they don’t want anybody to know yet and they haven’t even told me. They have told me that they are thinking about it and they are considering it. Greg Berlanti told me that. Andrew and Marc have told me that. I haven’t spoken to Geoff Johns about it, yet. But that’s the word from people directly involved in Arrow- that they’re working on something. Here’s the truth of it: if I knew, I would tell you I knew and I’m not at liberty to tell you that. I probably wouldn’t tell you anyway! I would at least tell you that I know. But I honestly do not know." Could it be? Comment below or check out the thread!
The era of the geek may be arising, but that doesn’t stop us from remaining the butt of the joke most of the time. Most of the humor from show like The Big Bang Theory stem from mocking the neuroses and inadequacies of the geeky main cast. While many fans of the series feel that this enables them to laugh at themselves a little, others fail to see much a difference between shows like The Big Bang Theory and common schoolyard bullying. Similar criticisms were at the core of campaigns against shows like Heroes of Cosplay as well. That’s where The Great Fandelirium comes in. With the hopes of bringing audiences a fan-centric show that respects geek and nerd culture without making them look like unacceptable weirdos, host Anthony Brownrigg visits and highlights conventions of varying fandoms. Brownrigg wants to unveil what makes fandom work, how does it drive the market of the mundane world, and just how many people really are mundane? And how many simply hide it? “If anyone’s going to look like a fool in this, it’s gonna be me,” said Brownrigg, “because I just still don’t get all this stuff. But hopefully by the time I’m through living it, I’ll understand why millions of fans can’t be wrong” The show is expected to debut either online or on a network in the coming spring and feature interviews with celebrity convention guests like Jim O’Rear (Hospital, Don’t Look in the Basement 2), Theodus Crane (The Walking Dead), Richard Hatch (BattleStar Galactica), Gigi Edgley (Farscape, Jim Henson’s Creature Challenge) and Vic Mignogna (Star Trek Continues, Full Metal Alchemist). However, they are still looking for feedback from the fandom community on what they would like to see featured on the show. Feedback can be submitted via their Facebook page. What do you think? Is television failing to give fandom the respect it deserves? Keep an eye out for The Great Fandelirium! Comment below on on the thread HERE Unfortunately, this comes from the Mirror.
www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/what-kids-your-favourite-citv-5096583 But its a interesting look at the child actors of British UK Children's programs are up to these days, and reminder of who we used to watch.
The characers shown, whilst obviously the Machine Robo versions, seem to be based on chactaers that straddled the two series. Seen so far are: CY-KILL FITOR SCREWHEAD TURBO LEADER-1 TANK SPAY-C BLOCKHEAD The scale of these guys is looking like the current Hasbro Deluxe. So. Excited? Can those Powerful Living Rocks be far behind? Keep an ear open for Welcome To Kimia's next episode to hear more about this as it develops! Big thanks to DomBlanco for the heads up! UPDATE! Thanks to BigD, we know that it's Blockhead in the second picture....and we have a new picture FURTHER UPDATE! Thanks to Big D and Cybergeeks Alliance, We have yet more photos! Details

You think of the stereotypical geek and you think Steve Urkle. Nowadays, the characters on the Big Bang Theory rule the world...and it's about damn time! The majority of the readers reading this are collectors. We travel near and far to get our grails. We search web sites and online auctions just to find the items we want. People show off their collections via You Tube, Twitter, Facebook, and other social media like they are children's photos in their wallets. Collecting has become the number 1 Geek Phenom. Take me for example. I used to have a basement filled with 80's toys. I loved my toys. Loved them so much, it was a fighting topic between me and my ex-wife. The escape of going in the "man cave" is something only a true geek knows. Be it playing with your favorite childhood toy or reading your favorite comic book. Whatever your escape maybe it's therapeutic and it makes the world what we are. Having a hobby used to be looked at as something to pass the time. I have come to realize that having a hobby molds who we are has humans. A hobby isn't something to waste extra money on or to pass the time by. Us Geeks collect and have hobbies that make us the souls we are. Being a child is easier right? Eat, Sleep, Play, Sleep, and so on. Is it any wonder why the world collects what we had when we were kids? We all just want to be that little kid again, and collecting brings that out in us geeks. With every grail that is purchased, with every toy you never had as a child. Hell, being a geek keeps half the world off therapists couch! For me personally, my inner geek has allowed me meet some of the best friends I have. I mean what other fandom could have me fly to England for a Transformers convention just to meet the people I talk to on Skype. My trip to Auto Assembly was something that ranks only behind the birth of my daughter. It was a lasting memory and I made friends from a different country. If it wasn't for me being a geek, I would never have met the majority of you reading this. I love the fact this community exists not only in my world but in millions of peoples worlds....and that's worldwide! It happens every day, somewhere on this little blue planet. All in all, the whole world is filled with geeks. Everyone is a geek about something. The entire world collects. From the richest person to the homeless, we all collect SOMETHING. The great thing about this geek movement is what we collect are irrelevant. Collect toys, books, cars, models (the plastic kind), video games, sports memorabilia, stamps, the list goes on infinitely. We live in a great world now to where we all have something in common. We are all geeking out about something. The world has become small to where we can geek out together, worldwide. If you are reading this and you disagree with me. Awesome! I love a good debate and you know where to find me. There is one thing us geeks can't debate and argue about.........Us geeks are finally on top of the social food chain!
