The first wave will include Dante, Randal, Jay and Silent Bob for $9.37 each They’re due to arrive in February, 2003. Believe it or not, Up to 75 figures from the Askewniverse are being considered for the line! All figures will be done in the style of the Clerks cartoon, even characters that never appeared there. It’s a fantastic idea. Think of it, the likes of Brodie, Loki, Missy, Sissy, Chrissy, and tons more immortalized forever in plastic! Now, the figures are jokingly referred to as “Inaction” figures because they don’t have any movable parts.

The next batch of figures is scheduled to be Brodie, Renee, Silent Bob and Jay — all from Mallrats. And yes, each one will be $9.37 as well. Every six months, they hope to debut a new group of four. And yes, Steve-Dave and Walt The Fanboy are being considered for a future set. Stay tuned for more — very exciting stuff!

  • Ben Affleck is this year’s “Sexist Man Alive”, according to People Magazine:
People Picks Ben Affleck as Sexiest

NEW YORK (AP) — Jennifer Lopez already thought so, and now People magazine agrees: Ben Affleck is this year’s “Sexiest Man Alive,” the magazine announced Wednesday.

The 30-year-old star of movies including “The Sum of All Fears” and “Pearl Harbor” has been everywhere lately, mostly because of his romance with Lopez.

After rampant speculation — and copious photos of them kissing in public — he and the singer-actress announced their engagement this month. They also co-star in the upcoming movies “Gigli” and “Jersey Girl.”

“I didn’t need People magazine to tell me he’s the sexiest man alive,” Lopez said in the issue, which comes out Friday. “The difference between me and People magazine is that he’ll still be the sexiest man alive in my eyes when he’s 100 years old.”

Affleck is the 16th man to receive the magazine’s honor. Last year it was James Bond star Pierce Brosnan, and previous winners include Tom Cruise, George Clooney and Brad Pitt.

Also included on the 2002 “sexiest” list are Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, gospel singer Kirk Franklin, “American Idol” judge Simon Cowell and chef Rocco DiSpirito.

Oh well, guess there’s always next year for these two webmasters…
