This 1:4 Patrick Bateman American Psycho Statue Is Bloody

You better have those reservations at Dorsia for tonight. Do you know what happens when you don’t fit in with the rest of the NY elite? The same goes for buying the newest America Psycho collectibles. If you don’t have one, you’re not important.

Premium Collectibles Studio has finally revealed its 1:4 scale Patrick Bateman statue. The murderous vice president stands atop a base depicting various iconic moments from the adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s novel. The statue measures about 22.5″ tall, with around 5″ of that taken up by the base.

Patrick Bateman comes in three styles, the bloody version (fresh from killing Paul), the clean version before he killed Paul, or in his standard pinstripe suit. All versions have the same pose and carry an ax. However, the bloody version does come with an interchangeable laughing head. The three vary in price from $640 to $690.

Expect Patrick to arrive around September or November of this year.

The non-bloody raincoat version comes with the following:

  • Fully Sculpted Statue
  • Mixed Media Suit, Shirt and Tie
  • Mixed Media Raincoat
  • Swap-Out Manic Portrait
  • Detailed Pedestal Base

What you get with the “bloody versions”:

  • Mixed Media Suit, Shirt and Tie
  • Bloody Deco on Axe
  • Mixed Media Raincoat w/ Bloody Deco
  • Swap-Out Manic Portrait w/ Bloody Deco
  • Detailed Pedestal Base w/ Bloody Deco

If you want the more professional-looking Patrick Bateman, the pinstripe suit version has the following features:

  • Fully Sculpted Statue
  • Mixed Media Suit, Shirt and Tie
  • Detailed Pedestal Base

If I pick this up, I’d like to frame it in a shadow box with the Fore album behind Patrick. How about you?

You can watch the trailer below:

MyAnimeList describes the synopsis as follows,

“After an enthusiastic invitation from her friend, Kaede Honjou reluctantly agrees to try New World Online: a very popular VRMMO played by thousands of people across Japan. Naming her in-game character Maple, she sets out on her journey. As a complete novice to such games, she allocates all of her stat points into vitality, desiring to not get hurt. With not a single point in any other stat, Maple has extraordinarily high defense, but she can’t move quickly or hit hard.

This doesn’t end badly for her, however. Due to her high defense, Maple acquires overpowered skills such as Total Defense, Poison Immunity, and Devour. These skills, along with the incredibly powerful items she obtains, allow her to obliterate most enemies in a single hit. After only a few days of playing the game, Maple claims third place in a server-wide event, gaining a reputation as a player who is both unkillable and absurdly powerful.

Despite her overpowered character, Kaede has much to learn. As she progresses through the game, she meets new friends and acquaintances, helping her complete new levels and events. Through all of her adventures, she may even pick up some other crazy skills that exceed all expectations.”

The light novels received a manga edition from Kadokawa Shoten and illustrated by Jirō Oimoto since 2018. The light novels are published by Fujimi Shobo.

“We’ve got good news and even better news. The good news is that you can watch Revue Starlight the Movie right here on HIDIVE,” they said in a statement.

They revealed the cast on their website:

  • Karen – Brittney Karbowski
  • Hikari – Patricia Duran

You can watch the trailer below:

AniList describes the synopsis as follows,

“The stage emulates life and compresses it, setting free skills learned over lifetimes in brief but dazzling displays for the amusement and judgment of others. For the performers, it is the ultimate risk, and some will rise while others must fall. Nowhere is this truer than at the Seisho Music Academy, where music, dance and real weapons all come into play in the creation of the next great Star. Karen and Hikari’s destinies have been linked since a childhood promise, but their journeys here have taken very different paths. Now, after Hikari leaves, Karen must discover who she is without her opposite, while Hikari must rediscover her own course.”

The movie is based on an anime that was released in 2018 and ran for twelve episodes.

ATARI Wants You To Pay $1k For 10 Limited Edition Cartridges

ATARI Wants You To Pay $1k For 10 Limited Edition Cartridges

ATARI has announced a 50th Anniversary Limited Edition set of 10 classic games. Yes, these are fully functional, newly produced ATARI 2600 cartridges. Yes, the group of ten will cost you $999.99. But don’t worry; even if you don’t have an original ATARI system, you’ll get a digital copy to play … on the ATARI VCS.

Sorry, but I find that very amusing. While the VCS isn’t dead, the console from 2021 is hardly discussed. Considering the games in this collection are readily available on nearly every modern video game console and PC, saying you get a digital copy specifically for the VCS is funny.

That being said, I do like the design of these new carts. They’re about the same size as those found in the ’70s and ’80s, but ATARI has added an LED-lit nameplate atop each one. All the titles in this collection also come with game-specific enamel pins and embroidered patches. The best one by far is the Crystal Castles cart featuring Bentley Bear on the patch and pin.

Sadly, the original artwork is found only on the box covers, not the cartridges.

The 50th Anniversary collection contains the following titles:

  • Adventure
  • Missle Command
  • Warlords
  • Haunted House
  • Super Breakout
  • Crystal Castles
  • Yars’ Revenge
  • Centipede
  • Asteroids
  • Gravitar

Pre-orders are open now, and the collection is limited to only 100 units. The shipping window is listed as 3-4 months.

Each Limited Edition cartridge comes sealed with a high quality box, 2600 game cartridge with custom paint and LED top, premium cardstock poster, extended instructional manual with bonus material, hard enamel collectible pin, polyester blend, twill-woven embroidered collectible patch, certificate of authenticity, and digital copy of the game playable on the Atari VCS.

Two Levels Of The ‘Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2’ Remake Are Now Playable!

Two Levels Of The ‘Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2’ Remake Are Now Playable!

In 1997 Lucasarts released a sequel to the FPS Star Wars game titled Dark Forces. It allowed fans to play as Kyle Katarn, the mercenary who supplied the Rebellion with the plans for the first Death Star. While this has all been retconned by The Mouse, the legend of the merc-turned-Jedi still lives on, thanks to an unauthorized remake of Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 by Ruppertle.

The Unreal Engine remake of the game was shown off a couple of days ago on the designer’s YouTube channel. It announced that two levels from Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 are now playable. The downloads can be found on Ruppertle’s Discord and Patreon. According to the Patreon page, V1.0 of this remake took three years to develop.

I’ve not yet had a chance to check it out for myself, but the footage shown off looks great. Version 1.0 comes with the following:

  • Two official levels from the original game
  • 4 Survival levels
  • a Sandbox mode
  • 3d model viewer
  • bonus level for testing
  • some secrets…

Dark Forces 2 was a real turning point for Star Wars games. The first-person shooter moved away from being a DOOM-like title and was now using something similar to the Quake Engine. It also introduced us to other Jedi who had survived the purge following the Clone Wars.

Another first was that the game used live-action cutscenes, which fans had wanted for a while. Remember, at this time, the Star Wars franchise was just in comics, books, and action figures.

The Original Trilogy had just been re-released with updated visuals in theatres to get everyone pumped for Episode 1. So, to see brand new characters and Jedi in live-action was a thrill.

I kind of miss when we were slightly starved for Star Wars content. Now that we’re hit over the head with it by Disney every month, the franchise has lost its charm.

Ant-Man & The Wasp Quantumania Figures Coming From Hot Toys

Ant-Man & The Wasp Quantumania Figures Coming From Hot Toys

Hot Toys has announced two new 1:6 scale premium figures to correspond with the upcoming MCU Phase 5 film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The film’s titular characters are back with new costumes, and head sculpts.

Ant-Man is $279, and The Wasp is priced the same. Both figures are expected to ship between April and September of 2024. Oddly, there are no variants of these figures offering up unique add-ons. The two figures are very light on accessories. Instead, you’re getting interchangeable hands and miniaturized static versions of both figures.

The third film in the Ant-Man trilogy will premiere on February 17th. Hopefully, this film won’t treat Scott Lang as a walking punching bag and will give him some agency in his own story. This film will be the defining moment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that will hopefully establish Kang the Conqueror as a real threat to the new Avengers.

Super7’s Sex Pistols ReAction Figures Are Pretty Vacant

Super7’s Sex Pistols ReAction Figures Are Pretty Vacant

The Sex Pistols came and went in a flash but somehow managed to become an icon in the punk movement. For better or worse, the band’s look and songs continue to survive regardless of politics and tragedy. And because it was bound to happen at some point, Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious are getting the ReAction Figure treatment from Super7. Consumerism is so punk!

The 3.75″ tall figures are currently on pre-sale at $20 each. They should ship during the middle of February. Sid comes with his bass guitar, and Johnny comes with a microphone and stand.

I wasn’t only referencing one of the band’s songs when I said they’re pretty vacant. Both Vicious and Lydon look bored. Sid’s antics and behavior are somewhat legendary and possibly deadly. Here, his action figure looks like he’s mildly annoyed while standing in line at the DMV. I’ll give Super7 for trying to recreate the bass player’s smirk, but where’s the punk attitude?

I’m wondering if Super7 chose to give Johnny Rotten sunglasses because the company didn’t want to recreate his eyes. But, again, like Sid, Rotten lacks any of the attitude associated with the band’s frontman.

While both band members have a degree of notoriety, Sid especially, the most exciting thing about the Sex Pistols is their creation. The true story behind the band and the subsequent breakup may never be known. Unfortunately, Malcolm McLaren, the manager and proclaimed creator of the Sex Pistols, is a bit of a character and a somewhat untrustworthy narrator of his own story.

For Malcom’s take on how everything went down, check out The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle. A much less one-sided take on the events can be found in the 2000 documentary The Filth and the Fury.

Polar Lights Finally Updates Its ‘Star Trek TOS’ Shuttle Model

Polar Lights Finally Updates Its ‘Star Trek TOS’ Shuttle Model

Around two years ago, Polar Lights released a 1:32 scale model kit of the shuttle seen in Star Trek: The Original Series. Although A.M.T. had released a version of the Enterprise’s ship-to-surface vessel years before, Polar Lights created a whole new kit, complete with pathways and paneling specifically for model builders who wanted to add their lighting.

I picked up the kit early last year and noticed that the interior of the Galileo looked like it was missing something. Of course, it was clear that no interior parts were included, but nowhere did Polar Lights advertise that they’d be releasing an add-on to flesh out the inside. This was odd because the shuttle’s door was a separate piece rather than being molded into the hull.

Polar Lights is re-releasing the Star Trek shuttlecraft model with the interior and crew. The NCC-1701/7 has seven newly sculpted U.S.S. Enterprise crew members, including Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Uhura, and Chekov. These figures are unpainted and optional to the build.

The new “complete” kit is $74.99 via the Big Bad Toy Store but does not include lighting. Unfortunately, there’s still no official L.E.D. light kit for this model. However, Monsters in Motion has one listed for $94.99.

The model may be assembled without the crew and includes a detailed command console, a utility compartment with an opening door, and new decals. Like the original kit, the shuttle’s registries can be changed to Columbus or Einstein.

Don’t worry if you, like myself, already have the Galileo shell kit. AutoWorld has the add-on for $33.99. If you’re not interested in building the Galileo with a fully realized interior, the original model kit is available on Amazon for around $50.

MyAnimeList describes the synopsis as follows,

“Veteran adventurer Nick, mage Tiana, cleric Zem, and half-dragon Curran each show up alone at a tavern, only to find themselves seated at the same table. As the night goes on, they take turns divulging their grievances and the hobbies they have taken up as a means of coping. While their stories are utterly different, there is one common thread: betrayal. Each of the four, having been bitterly betrayed by someone they treasured, has developed a deep-seated distrust of humanity.

But in addition to their similar worldviews, the four have one more commonality: a critical lack of funds. Realizing that things cannot continue as they are, they decide to form a party, rank up, and make as much money as possible to spend on their respective hobbies. What these disillusioned adventurers do not know, however, is that they will one day save the world from unfathomable peril.”

Kadokawa Shoten releases a manga version illustrated by Masaki Kawakami. Yen Press releases the light novels and manga in the United States.

Chris Pratt Thriller ‘The Terminal List’ Renewed For A Second Season And A Prequel

Chris Pratt is returning as the rogue military man James Reece for a second season of ‘The Terminal List,’ which has been confirmed to be based on author Jack Carr’s novel ‘True Believer.’ Not only that, but Taylor Kitsch is returning as his former ally Ben Edwards for a prequel.

The ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ star confirmed the renewal on social media.

“I’m excited to announce that the second season of The Terminal List is on its way, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to reprise my role as James Reece,” he said on Instagram. “This season promises to be even more intense and action-packed than the first, and I can’t wait for everyone to see it. And for those who are fans of Taylor Kitsch’s Ben Edwards, I’m happy to say that we’re also working on a spinoff series that will delve deeper into his story and follow his journey from a Navy SEAL to a CIA operative. And to make it even more exciting, I will also be appearing in this prequel series! I promise you it will be just as thrilling and engaging as The Terminal List. Stay tuned for more updates and we can’t wait for you all to join us on this journey.”

The first season of ‘The Terminal List’ was based on a 2018 action-thriller novel by Jack Carr, who has released several books in the series based on James Reece. It aired eight episodes in 2022.

Kitsch also expressed his excitement for the renewal saying in a statement, “Thank you to all the fans for believing in this show, we wouldn’t be here without your support. I’m excited to continue this wild ride that is Ben Edwards and bring to life Jack Carr’s amazing stories.”

Amazon Studios has not revealed a release date but noted that it will once again stream to Prime Video.
