BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
The first wave of Gotham figures makes its way into stores this week, along with a selection of Minimates from a smattering of different undead-themed properties.
Gotham (and Batman in general really) leads the way this week for DST’s new releases into comic and specialty stores, but that’s far from the only property that makes an appearance. Zombies are everywhere this week too, with zombified Minimates belonging to Marvel, Jay and Silent Bob, and of course The Walking Dead chewing on store shelves as well.
And if you’re not into the rotten kind of monster, then maybe some old school Universal Monsters will fit the bill. Or how about the king the kaiju with Godzilla? Or maybe you like your ‘horror’ a little more grounded in reality and would prefer the gunplay antics of Pulp Fiction, which also gets a new Minimates set this Wednesday.
Your pick; as usual though, it’s pretty much all worth your while. Scroll down for pics and descriptions.
