Guardians Of The Gallery: Dragon Ball Z Lights, Kitten Oscars, LEGO Walking Dead & More
This week’s round-up of some of the best, strangest and oddest cult entertainment imagery and vids that have been igniting the internet…
••• Power up your bedroom lighting with some Dragon Ball Z lamps courtesy of LitUpInteriorDesign [via ComicBook Resources]
••• SPOILER WARNING! Do not watch if you haven’t seen The Walking Dead season six midseason premiere. If you have, rewatch one of the key scenes, in LEGO…
••• Forget Mad Hatters. Let’s hear it for the Mad Cobblers. Check out these stunning Disney’s Alice In Wonderland shoes from the same people who brought you mad Star Wars shoes a few months back, Irregular Choice.
••• Windor’s LEGOland has made sure this Death Star is fully operational…
••• Karen Gillan used social media this week to tease bing back in character as Nebula in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2. Why be coy about showing her face though? We know what the character looks like. Or do we? Is there a new look?

••• A new take on Captain America: Civil War, courtesy of Marvel Collector Corps.
••• Stylish Star Wars original trilogy prints from artist Matt Ferguson courtesy of Bottleneck Gallery.
••• Finally for Oscars weekend, two variations on a theme. Both Disney’s Zootopia and Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele’s Keanu (see the trailer here) have spoofed the posters for this year’s Best Picture nominations (and Steve Jobs which got a couple of acting noms). Three of them get spoofed by both.
Guardians Of The Gallery: Nordic Harry Potter, Dying Batman, Avengers Coke Cans & More
This week’s selection of great pics and vids that have been creating a buzz on the internet this week
••• This week the Pottermore Twitterfeed revealed details for four new schools of Wizardry and Witchcraft in Japan, central Africa, Brazil and North America. But Norwegian artist Even Amundsen has already created the Nordic branch of the magical franchise. Here are a few his characters for a school called Vølurheim. Where’s the Professor Of Troll Hunting?

••• Various US film and TV mags and websites this week were sent a mysterious package containing these six Avengers-emblazoned Coke cans a message saying, “02.07.16 – The Big Game Is Just the Beginning. Follow @CocaCola to watch the story unfold…” This obviously means that there’s going to be some kind of big new advert during this year’s Super Bowl, but as Screen Crush points out, it’s unlikely to be just another new trailer – after all Hulk isn’t in Captain America: Civil War (as far as we know). While we wait to find out we’re getting a little bit freaked by the Black Widow can. Can’t see many arachnophobes drinking out of that one.
••• Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 director James Gunn Tweeted this pic of some of the main cast in rehearsals adding the message, “When someone’s screwing up a scene during rehearsals I show them Dave Bautista as an example of good acting.” If you’re wondering who the guy squatting down is, that’s Sean Gunn, James’s bro’ who does stand-in of Rocket Raccoon. Click on the image for a larger version.
••• From the artist who brought you Star Wars characters as classic Greek sculptures, Travis Durden, come these new collaborations with photographers on an evocative and moody set of images showing an imagined bleak future for Batman as the Dark Knight enter his twilight. “I wanted the final images as real as possible,” explains Durden, “as if Batman really spent time in these abandoned places.”
••• Just in case you do have feet like a Ninja Turtle, artists Hussain Almossawi and Quintin Williams have designed a pair of trainers just for you!
••• Although not quite the masterpiece that was the Batman V Superman trailer re-edited with George Reeves, Adam West and Lynda Carter footage we showed you earlier this week (“>see here) the version of the Suicide Squad trailer redone with cartoon footage is still well worth a look.
••• What if Tim Burton directed a bunch of Disney cartoon remakes? Artist Andrew Tarusov imagines they’d look very much like this. For some reason, we really the wallpaper in the 101 Dalmatians poster.
