If you haven't entered the "Complete First Season" DVD Give-away yet, this should encourage you to: we recently were able to arrange for the DVD prizes to be signed by the Teen Titans crew! With the crew disbanded following the series' cancellation, this could be the last chance to get something signed by them. Each of these signed DVD sets are sure to be a definitive part of any fan's collection, and as a way to keep the series' memory going strong. As of this update, there are only 7 days left until the March 4th deadline. A 3-day grace period after will be given for mailed entries. After that, we won't be accepting anymore fan art entries to win the autographed "Complete First Season" DVDs, so don't hold back. To enter, either email us your Teen Titans fan art (drawings, comics, collages, etc.), or ask us for a mailing address to send your fan art entry to. Thanks to all who've entered so far, and good luck! Teen Titans director Matt Youngberg has posted several concept sketches for Teen Titans episodes on his blog ("Bunny Raven", "Date With Destiny", etc.). He also gives interesting info on what went on during production. Check out his awesome development drawings for Punk Rocket's design for "The Lost Episode", which happened to be Matt's debut as a Teen Titans director!

The February issue (#102) of the Official Playstation Magazine will come packed with a disc containing a playable demo for the upcoming Teen Titans console game! Those who didn't get a shot at hands-on play can finally try the game out for themselves this month. According to several sources, this game appears to have been pushed back to release on April 4th, 2006. For screenshots, videos, and more info on the Teen Titans console game (for PS2, Xbox & Gamecube), visit its official website. Two more looks into Teen Titans' show production and one wormy cookie, courtesy of the Titans crew. First off, director Ben Jones posted comments on the voice actor recording sessions for "Bunny Raven" and "Mother Mae-Eye", along with a H.R. Pufnstuf costume-clad Derrick Wyatt (character designer). Check it out here on his blog. Character designer Brianne Drouhard put up a particularly cute looking cookie on her blog, in the likeness of everyone's favorite mutant grub, Silkie. Lastly, background designer Hakjoon Kang posted a crystal design (as seen in "Kole") he did line-art for, which was beautifully cleaned up and finalized by background painter Chu-Hui Song. For those who don't recall, this crystal was used as the main component for Dr. Light's light-absorbing machine.

Upcoming Teen Titans toys revealed at Toy Fair 2006! (also: Smallville's "Cyborg" this week) Posted by Butch on February 14, 2006 @ 4:27 pm EST - Link
Bandai showcased many of their announced (and unannounced!) new Teen Titans toys for this year at the Toy Fair 2006 show in New York. The event took place very recently this week, February 13th & 14th. Superhero Times has provided a large gallery of photos from the Bandai Teen Titans display, which you can view here. Highlights include: - Doom Patrol & Brain figures: Mento/The Brain, Robotman/Negative Man, Elasti-Girl, Beast Boy - Raven (Soul-Self form) - Slade (zombie form) - Silkie & flying Starfire figures - New translucent-color figures (click to view photos of the toys) Very exciting unveilings from Bandai. We'd been informed beforehand by some sources that the Doom Patrol and Brain (as well as a few upcoming plans) were in the works, but the Silkie and Raven's Soul-Self figures are complete surprises to us. The proportions and design are clearly following the higher sculpt quality first seen with the Apprentice pack (Robin & Terra), and we can't wait to see what else Bandai will have in store for fans as the year unfolds. Great show, Bandai. Keep it up! Don't forget: the "Cyborg" episode of Smallville airs this Thursday (Feb. 16th) at 8:00 PM on The WB. Kryptonsite has provided trailer screens and a general image gallery for this new episode.

That's okay, Great Larry always looks after his "dumb-dumbs". The Teen Titans console videogame for Playstation2 is almost upon us. It won't be out til February 14th, but you can now pre-order your copy from Amazon.com here!
