Jon Favreau brought some footage of his upcoming adaptation of Cowboys and Aliens with him to Comic-Con over the weekend and, for the most part, attendees seemed to eat it up. Although, the still image they released might have been a bad choice (depending on how you look at it) as it might conjure up too many associations with another franchise Favreau has worked on in recent years.
At any rate, the footage isn’t being released to the general public just yet, but there is a video after the break with Favreau introducing the cast—including a humorous bit with Harrison Ford in handcuffs and a Q & A session.

There is a lot of cool stuff to be had at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego. One of those things happens to be this Farnsworth replica from Warehouse 13. This item will kick off a full line of QMx products based on the show.
Details are scarce, but it appears that there will be two versions of the device on display—an exact replica and an “idolized hero version” with detailed weathering and a semi-transparent screen.

Two more reasons to head to Comic-Con this year. It’s the only place you will be able to score the Skeleanimal Hellboy and Futurama Nibbler plushes. Both are extremely limited editions at 1000 ($40) and 500 units ($30) respectively.
Hopefully, a full Futurama series in the works with a wider release.

Sometimes companies reserve their best stuff for trade shows and other junkets when it could sell like hotcakes in the open market. That Canon lens coffee mug was one example (released in Canada with very limited quantities) and this Tron Be@rbrick is another.
Unless you happen to visit the Diamond Comics booth at Comic-Con this year, you’ll probably have to rely on eBay to score one of only 1500 figures produced.
