Having had such an overwhelmingly great reaction to the NYCC exclusive Galaxxor 010, we always knew that we had to do another version of the figure sporting that expertly designed head by Onell Design’s Matt Doughty. Marty “The Godbeast” Hansen and I knew that it looked like he was going to be bringing back his [...]

From the corner of the Galaxxorverse that is Hive World X-544 comes Rudo Rey Mar, the bad boy of The Lucha Sharks! He’s never met a steel bar or a rule  that he couldn’t bend (or break!). This figure was sculpted and designed by Ben Spencer and fine tuned and produced in resin by Marty [...]

One of the major contributors to the Nerdiest summer in movie history,”The Amazing Spider-man” swings (get it?) on to Blu-Ray and DVD this Friday, Nov. 9th. Combatting origin fatigue with fresh, from-the-ground up reinterpretation, “Amazing” is well-cast, well-told, and awesome. By sticking closer to the source material (web shooters, first love Gwen Stacy, no weird [...]

A tradition in itself, Doritos “Crash the Superbowl” video contest is once again upon us, and this year’s competition combines 3 things Nerds love : making short films, the Transformers and, you know… Doritos.

One of the best things about being a Nerd is the ability to endlessly gloat amongst your friends (those that you have) about having been “the first” to discover something. Whatever the medium, there is nothing quite like the thrill of dropping an “uh…yah” on the uninitiated, before it was, you know, cool. With that [...]

There is no movie Nerd City is currently more excited for than the RZA directed, Eli Roth co-written, and Quentin Tarantino presented “The Man with the Iron Fists” (dropping Nov. 2).

Although Alexander’s background is heavily rooted in illustration [...]

Recently, Nerd City’s very own Mike Haynes and Max Minor descended upon Universal Studios Hollywood, and I’ll tell you right now, “we’ll be back”.

The place is just chock full of shit Nerds like (present company included). A truly hilarious [...]

Last weekend, Nerd City got a chance to hang at the world’s premiere (and only) open-air, independently developed video game symposium, Indie Cade, and it was mad dope (right, teenagers?).

DC and Warner Bros. have just revealed the details for their new super hero fighting game “Injustice: Gods Among Us” Collector’s Edition, and it looks pretty sweet.

Every so often, Nerd City comes across an artist that we just instantly super dig. Scottish creator Andrew Waugh is one of those artists.
