Bandai have just produced two of the coolest Figures in their famous Figuarts series ever – Guy Manuel de Homem and Thomas Bangalter AKA Daft Punk!

Appropriately timed with the group's new album announcement and supervised by the artists themselves, high-end action figures of Daft Punk have been confirmed for release under the S.H.Figuarts advanced action figure series from Bandai. The total figure height is approximately 15cm, and as with all S.H.Figuarts figures, these Daft Punk figures feature precise articulation for recreation of a variety of poses. The helmet areas will feature a shiny metallic finish for enhanced realism.

Both of these truly original collectibles are due at the end of the year, so lock in your pre-order now!

The upcoming self-titled album by Device featuring Disturbed's David Draiman is being released next month.

“It's not metal”, Draiman says. “It's influenced by early Industrial rock and has a dark electronic vibe. At the same time, these are big, anthemic, and intensely melodic songs. It's futuristic roc­k.”

If you haven't yet heard about Device then check out their brand new video Vilify below which is directed by P.R. Brown.

The acclaimed documentary Searching For Sugar Man will be releasing on March 7th on DVD & Blu-ray!

From the Academy Award-winning producer of MAN ON WIRE comes a powerful, unforgettable music mystery.

In the late ‘60s, a musician was discovered in a Detroit bar by two celebrated producers who were struck by his soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics.

But a bootleg recording found its way into apartheid South Africa and, over the next two decades, it became a phenomenon.
