The Great Escape NOW available on Blu-ray
When it comes to Hollywood legends, one name stands among the honored, and Steve McQueen is surely one of them. The Action-Packed Adventure Classic Breaks Out onto Blu-ray. Now available from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is one of McQueen’s all time classics, THE GREAT ESCAPE. Based on a true story, THE GREAT ESCAPE is “a motion picture that entertains, captivates, thrills and stirs” (Variety). In 1943, the Germans opened a maximum security prison-of-war camp, designed to hold even the craftiest escape artists. By doing so, they unwittingly assembled the finest escape team in military history – brilliantly portrayed by Steve McQueen, James Garner, Charles Bronson, and James Coburn- who worked on what became the largest prison breakout ever attempted. Click ahead for my review and breakdown of the 3 hours of awesome bonus features that is sure to please any fan of the late-great Steve McQueen…

You’re a little short for a customized Stormtrooper figure aren’t you?
It wasn’t too long ago that if you wanted a custom made action figure of yourself you were limited with options. Most included having to send numerous pictures of yourself to a company that specified in sculpting your likeness at a custom scale which would then be molded, painted and finished. Eventually sticking your mug on a 3/3/4 inch or 12″ action figure body (sometimes clothing not included). Well those days are now a long time ago in a galaxy not too far away thanks to the advances in 3D imaging technology and 3D printers which now can output an almost exact likeness of you in a matter of minutes. With this breakthru in science and sculpting a whole new world of custom action figures can be created and produced for not just collector’s but for individuals wanting to give themselves an iconic look and feel of the very toys they grew up playing with as a kid. Click ahead to learn how both Star Trek and Star Wars are now offering fans a chance to not just own, but be their own customized action figure!
