Prayers for Jake
As most of you know, our friend and Tales writer, Jake Black, is a cancer survivor. Jake spent the better part of last year fighting the crap off, and has since been in remission.
Via his facebook page this morning, Jake shared this news:
Ok, here’s the deal: Was on the phone with my oncologist for an hour last night b/c I’ve been having some worrisome symptoms-night sweats, extreme fatigue, itchy skin, a little weight loss. Dr. is “concerned” and has ordered some blood work today and a PET Scan next week. He and I will meet a week from today to discuss results from the scan. It’s possible it’s not a recurrence, but these symptoms are not a good sign.
We will update you as we know more. In the mean time, positive thoughts please.

Sideshow Polystone Donatello Review
I love living in Southern California. Especially when it comes to ordering Sideshow products. Since their shipping hub is in Thousand Oaks, we So Cal folk get out stuff the day after it ships! As such, I know a lot of you are dying waiting for your (which many of you will get tomorrow! Congrats!) I thought I’d do a quick and dirty review! This particular statues is the Sideshow Exclusive version.
The statue is made of polystone, so it has significant weight to it. So yes, your disgruntled ex wife COULD probably club you to death with it…which…you know… is something to keep in mind.
Each piece is individually numbered on the bottom, which is a nice as opposed to it just simply being a numberless edition of so many. As you can see, 425 were made of this version of the statue.
So what makes it “exclusive”? Each piece comes with two different bandannas. A red one for the comic fans…
And a purple one for those of you who have no idea why Don would wear a red bandanna 😉
They attach Magnetically to Don’s head…which looks super creepy when you don’t have either bandanna on!
As for Size, here are a few comparison shots. First wit the 88 action figure
And with a GIANT Turtle
I will leave you with some random vanity shots of Don. For more info you can go directly to the Sideshow Website. Or ask us questions!

“”It’s my wish to present a homage to the Mirage Group as their work was a source of inspiration for many of us during our youth and as we continue in our careers as adults.
Rather than simply admiring the names of “who penciled what group TMNT shot” or “who inked and colored a particular cover”, for just once, we should all celebrate Mirage talents and achievements as creative artists for who they are and all the work they do. Because it’s more than just TMNT.
Here’s to another 25 years!
