Animation Auction for Gulf Coast Relief
Thomas Bayne sends along word that he's started up a site to auction off Venture Bros. production art with the proceeds going to the Colbert Nation Gulf of America Fund. There's tons of really great art up there and all proceeds go to a good cause that (hopefully) everyone can get behind. Sadly I picked a bad weekend to go on vacation with no internet access, so the auctions all appear to be finished now, but there's still lots that can be done if you're interested, so head on over to show your support.

Tom sends along the following info pertaining to the auctions:
The first sale sold out fast. I've spent this weekend organizing a bigger ebay auction that will hopefully include work from other shows as well as VB. But before it can get fully off the ground, I need to clear some things with ebay. ... there's just a few formalities that need formalized, and then we're off!
In the meantime, I have put one item up. Stay tuned at coughcoughwheeze.com/help -- I'll be updating it as soon as the next thing happens.

This Is The Last Time
Entertainment Earth looks to have the final versions of the Venture Bros. Mego-style figures up. The head sculpts all look to have changed at least slightly, with Brock undergoing the biggest revamp. They all look much less prototype and more finalized, which should make a lot of people happy. Click the heads for the full-sized versions:
Of course you can find these at the following links/prices should you desire: Henchmen 21 & 24 (EE and Comic-Con Exclusives) for $39.99, The Monarch & Dean for $37.99 and Brock Samson & Dr. Venture for $37.99.

Adult Swim Coming to FX UK
For those of you of the European persuasion (specifically those in the UK), it's worth noting that Turner has struck a deal with FX UK to bring adult swim to that network. This includes The Venture Bros. of course, so now watching it will be easy! Thanks to Mark Wilkinson for sending me that news.
Dude, That Is Mint In Box!
Here's the remaining cards for the set of Venture Bros. figures (though the art doesn't differ too much between each 'team' you could assemble your own HELPeR if you so desire.
More Card Artistry
So far it looks like only Mego Museum has posted their cards which include those for Henchmen 21 & 24. You can also hit up their blog for art from BBP's upcoming Flash Gordon and Twilight Zone figures.
Update: Idle Hands has the remaining cards up on their site (as well as some from other sites) so you can take a gander and Brock and Dean's cardbacks now and also complete your papercraft HELPeR if that's your thing.
