blast-o-rama.

I have to admit, I was quite late to the Adventure Time game. Have you seen it? No? You haven’t? Go ahead.

I’ll wait.

How great was that? Adventure Time is seriously one of the most fun cartoons on television today, and it’s doing a great job of melting the brains of kids and adults alike.

The awesome people at Mondo had released a print for the series over Thanksgiving, and now they’re back with a new release of a print set by the incredibly talented Becky Dreistadt.

Due to hit MondoTees.com on Friday, January 13th, this set, called the Finn + Fiona Set features a print of Finn with Lady Rainicorn and Jake (at the top of the post) and also a print of Fiona with Lord Monochromicorn and Cake (below).

This set of 2 18″x24″ prints will be available for $75, limited to 185 sets total. Stay tuned to Mondo’s Twitter for when the release drops.

One of my favorite guilty pleasures from my late era childhood (as I approached my awkward teenage years) is definitely Samurai Pizza Cats.

A very over the top series given an even more ridiculous in-joke filled dub, the title originally known as Cat Ninja Legend Teyandee in Japan became a cult classic over here, especially amongst those in my age group.

I guess word got around, as there will now be a Speedy Cerviche action figure!

I don’t know much more besides the release date (March/April), but HOLY CRAP! A high quality Samurai Pizza Cats figure! This is way too awesome for my nerd brain to comprehend.

The always astounding crew at Mondo continues to grab some very interesting and unique licenses. Over Thanksgiving, they premiered their first posters from Adventure Time and the DC Comics library. They continue to work with Disney. And of course, they make posters of the greatest cult films in the world.

That said, I don’t think I expected them to work with ABC on making prints for the show Once Upon A Time. But now that I see them, I get it.

Once Upon A Time, for those unawares, is a new show where the world of fairy tales interacts with the real world. Mondo, smartly, is using this to allow their roster of talented artists to create prints based on classic fairy tales. The first is by one of my favorites, Mr. Kevin Tong, and is a BEAUTIFUL rendition of Rapunzel.

The regular edition, printed in silver (ooh…) and posted at the top is limited to a run of 220 prints, and will run for $40. The special edition, in Gold (ahh…), posted below, is a run of just 95 pieces, for $65 each.

These prints go on sale tomorrow, so as always, watch Mondo’s Twitter feed. Future installments include Little Red Cap, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, and Cinderella. I can’t wait to see what they do with them!
