LEGO Dinosaur Skeletons Are Everything I Ever Wanted
It sucks total ass being an adult in 2017. While it’s easier to afford to purchase all of the insanely cool shit being produced, I would do anything to have all of these rad toys when I was young. Outside of Star Wars, we had “Super Powers”, “Secret Wars”, “He-Man”, and a few others, but it wasn’t until the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” that the toy explosion occurred. And LEGO sets? I never liked them, and it wasn’t until the LEGO movie that they went HAM on creating franchisable sets. Thinking outside of the box is everything LEGO is about now, and the following set has my young self salivating.
Submitted in the LEGO Ideas lab is “Dinosaurs Fossils Skeletons, a Natural History Collection”. Now you can build your own museum, including fossil skeletons of Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Plesiosaurus. They all come with an exhibition base. How do we get life-sized versions?
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
