Premiere of the First Public Released Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer #GotG

It is finally here, the first Official Public Release of the Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer, it features all the characters, a smattering of action, some cool Spaceship moments and it feels less like a comic book movie and more like a conventional sci-fi action movie – which as I mentioned during the Teaser Trailer is not a bad thing.


I think this movie is going to rock and send Marvel Movies off into an exciting direction, but judge for yourself the trailer is after the jump.

Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy


We got our first official 15 second Guardians of the Galaxy Teaser Trailer and from this brief look it feels most like a sci-fi action adventure than the normal Marvel Superhero fair. This I think is a good thing because it will increase the crossover appeal of the Guardians. Check out the teaser trailer after the jump.

Exterminate!!! An adventure into Doctor Who with a Dalek Watercolor Sketch

Doctor Who Dalek by Nick Davis

Doctor Who Dalek by Nick Davis


I didn’t really start out to draw a Dalek, it was supposed to be a Cuddly Sketch version, but somehow a Dalek isn’t really supposed to be cuddly is it? So, a more traditional Arch-Enemy of the Doctor came to life ready to exterminate.


The Golden Dalek was finished in watercolor pencil and black ink, these aliens, which are such a simple concept are surprisingly complicated to draw.

First Look at the Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy Action Figure – Rocket Raccon, Groot and more…

Guardians of Galaxy Rocket RaccoonWith the Guardians of the Galaxy of the movie heading this way and with Toy Fair around the corner it is Action Figure time. Which means an awesome Rocket Raccoon action figure will be available with some infeasible large gun on the store shelves very soon. You can view the main figures of the Guardians Marvel Legends line after the jump.

The “Guardians of the Galaxy” figures are part of Hasbro’s Marvel Legends line, with the “Infinite Series” including six characters: Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket Raccoon and two more yet to be named, maybe a Nova or main villain?


The only annoying part of this release is Groot will be the line’s build-a-figure, with each entry in the series packaged with a piece of the tree-esque alien. I don’t want to buy all of them to get Groot. So I will hope the 3.75″ range that will be released will have their own Groot,  I will though be hunting down Rocket Raccoon.
