The Blank white Mighty Muggs are in stock now. The Labyrinth Books Store Toronto is looking for artists interested in customizing a figure for our upcoming art-show.

details were posted here:
http://animationroadshow.blogspot.com/2009/04/calling-all-artists-mighty-muggs-art.html



Change for Charity: Artists entering their figures in the art-show will be able to sell their figures for charity, in which case, the Labyrinth will offer the artist a store credit for the cost of the figure. For details, email us at: info@thelabyrinthstore.com

ADDITIONAL CHARITY VOTING SYSTEM. To make it more fun, and to raise even more for charity - visitors to the store will be able to vote on their favourite figures -by dropping change (pennies, nickels, dimes, etc..)into small boxes that will be set up next to each custom figure. The figure that collects the most change, will be awarded a best in show custom certificate. All the change that is collected will go to charity.

The charity we support at the Labyrinth is World Vision. You can learn more about them at:
http://www.worldvision.ca/Pages/Home.aspx



Below are some images I found online of customized figures done by other folks. Links to more customized figures at the bottom.

Wolverine Movie has 2 endings

X-Men Origins Wolverine Movie will have 2 endings!


Are you planning on seeing the new X-men origins Wolverine movie Friday night? Make sure to stay after the credits. According to ICV2, the film will have 2 endings. the first ending will be different than the one on the leaked version that went out. There will also be extra stuff after the credits so be sure to hang around.

According to the film's director, the two different endings will be on different prints, so you will have to see the movie twice and hope that you are watching different prints to see both endings. It's the ultimate marvel variant edition! Sheesh. Still, we hope Wolverine with the new ending works out.

REMINDER: Free Comic Book Day - This Saturday May 2nd. 11am-8pm. Tons of Free Comics as well as a handful of FREE Graphic Novels and Manga.
