July 25th @ 8:22 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Kevin Smith, Matt Booker

  • As we mentioned last update, San Diego showcased some amazing new View Askew merchandise currently in the production pipeline, and yep, thanks to Kevin himself (for providing those beautiful top 2 shots of the upcoming J&SBSB set) and our good friend Matt at Action-Figure.com, we’ve got a TON of beautiful photos to look at. Let’s let Matt take away with his own words regarding the major coolness he witnessed out west this weekend:

Graphitti Designs had a number of new items based on the Kevin Smith Films on display at their booth at San Diego Comic Con…

The 4 members of The C.L.I.T. – Sissy, Chrissy, Missy and Justice all alert and off to do a heist.

Jay and Silent Bob in thier super hero alter ego’s as Bluntman and Chronic ready to keep the Knocker at bay.

Marshal Willenholly – barking orders.

All will have new packaging art in a similar style to the Clerks, Mallrats and Dogma figures.

Chasing Amy are already in the works and Graphitti hope to release Holden, Banky, Alyssa and Hooper X

They are also working on a View Askew first – A Marina Diner scene Jay and Bob Diorama from Chasing Amy that will be part of the Clerks animated line of figures.

On display was the prototype of next years Con exclusive figure that will be at all the shows throughout 2005

The Kevin Smith figure captures the main man in his traditional sports shirt and shorts.

Every place the exclusive is offered the shirt will be in the colours of the local sports team.

Next up are the Jay and the Silent Bob wobblers.

An offical name will be anonounced soon first three will come out will animated style and can keep you company in your car.

Graphitti also had limited run Music whore girly fit t-shirts and the first six askew posters.

They were also promoting Kevins new West coast store in LA soon.

So, there ya have it! Jay & Bob figures, those sweet bobbleheads (you know every View Askew fan needs THOSE on their desk), and check out those shots of the Kevin Smith figure, along with our first look at the Jay & Bob versions of Willenholly, Jay, & Bob! Too, too cool. And a diorama to boot? Graphitti, you’re way too good to us. Like the headline says, boy, are we ever gonna need a bigger desk.

Huge, HUGE thanks to Kevin and Action Figure for their always incredible work in getting photos to the public. Keep in mind, these are of course the prototypes, but we’ll let you know as we hear more about release schedules for all this great stuff. The Stash will be taking preorders as always, and these should be ready in time to show up under your Christmas tree. Keep it here.

And…The BIGGEST Exclusives Yet!

  • These weren’t for show in SD, but Kevin was kind enough to drop another HUGE story this weekend – Yep, that’s right, another con exclusive
    will be the VERY limited “Huge Ass Jay & Bob” for Wizard World in Chicago next month. Yep, we’re not sure how many they’re making, what the price will be,
    or if they’ll even make the deadline, but you lucky bums going to Chicago will likely get the first crack at the BIGGEST inactions yet! We’ll let you know
    when we hear more on this as well. But until then, check out the size of those bad boys. Whoa.

  • In the new issue of Entertainment Weekly (July 20), they pick 50 great movie quotes of the last half century. Guess which one takes number
    36?
“Empire had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader’s his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on
such a down note. I mean, that’s what life is a series of down endings all Jedi had was a bunch of Muppets.” [Dante (Brian O’Halloran) In Clerks]

They couldnt’ go one back and give us 37, huh? We’d have settled.

  • Kevin’s “Declare Yourself” spots are making the rounds, asking you all to please vote in this year’s election. You can read more details
    on the ads at PR Newswire and
    The Futon Critic. Tune into COMEDY CENTRAL to check out all the very entertaining
    spots, directed by Kevin Smith himself. Thanks for stopping by today!
