Hailing Frequencies open guys, its time for Weekly Roundup. Every week I shall summarise all the most important Sci-Fi news pieces of the week
CAPALDI'S COSTUME
To start us off, the costume to be worn by Peter Capaldi in Series 8 of Doctor Who was revealed on Monday. Moffat certainly wasn't joking early the same day when he said costume hints were coming soon. The costume is really very simple, but I like that and the red lining is really reminiscent of Pertwee. He's also rocking a great cardigan, which makes me wonder if Clara has a spare bow-tie one for him.
REBELS GET GRUMPY
A new character has been revealed for the new animated series, Star Wars Rebels. Its a new Astromech droid named C1-10P, otherwise know as Chopper. Said to be Lazy, Cranky and most of all Grumpy, it goes against most things an Astromech droid would do but I presume its probably kind hearted, just misunderstood...then again he may not. Although I'm sure it'll be great to see what happens if it and C3-P0 ever get in an argument. Who would win?
TOY FAIR TURTLE TERROR
Yes, images of the action figures based of Michael Bay's TMNT film have leaked from Toy Fair. The Mikey one does seem to match the Halloween costume that was leaked last weak. And yes, the 'turtles' (if I can call them that anymore) are wearing clothes. Not just bandannas...actual human clothes. I wont put the pictures up as Paramount will probably ask them to be removed but they are out there on the internet. However the image only shows Mikey, Donnie and Raph. I guess they are just saving my favourite turtle, Leo, for a later disappointment.
Hope you've enjoyed this first segment and I hope to do this every week to keep you all up to date.
