Aaay! Spend $400 And Get Yourself A ‘Happy Days’ Fonzie Figure!

Is there a market still out there for high-end Happy Days collectibles? Sideshow Collectibles and Infinite Statue think so. Currently, Sideshow is taking pre-orders for a Deluxe version of the show’s iconic cool guy, Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli.

Fonzi’s highly detailed 12″tall figure also has a to-scale jukebox. Yes, a replica of the same one found in Arnold’s diner. The jukebox also acts as a Bluetooth speaker, and it lights up! I’m not a fan of Happy Days, but miniature recreations of old tech are something that I find simply intriguing.

The Fonz isn’t cheap. No, sir. You better have $400 ready to pre-order this guy, or he’s jumping the shark into someone else’s collection. I can dig it if you don’t have that much cash. The Collector’s Edition is only $285, but you’re not getting as many features. See below for more details.

The Deluxe Edition of the Fonz comes with the following:

  • Two (2) Fonzie head sculpts
    – Normal head sculpt
    – Smiling head sculpt
  • Eight (8) Posable hands
  • One (1) Body fully articulated (28 Points)
  • One (1) white T-shirt
  • One (1) pair of Jeans
  • One (1) Brown Jacket
  • One (1) pair of Biker Black boots (Magnetic)
  • One (1) hair comb
  • Standard Stand (Magnetic)
  • One Jukebox with Bluetooth speaker Android/IOS switchable light system and rechargeable with USB ports (battery non-included)

The Collector’s Edition comes with the following:

  • One (1) Fonzie head sculpt
  • Eight (8) Posable hands
  • One (1) Body fully articulated (28 Points)
  • One (1) white T-shirt
  • One (1) pair of Jeans
  • One (1) Brown Jacket
  • One (1) pair of Biker Black boots (Magnetic)
  • One (1) hair comb
  • Standard Stand (Magnetic)

Honestly, the smiling head isn’t as accurate looking as the one with the Collector’s Edition. I think the way the teeth are done throws the whole thing out of whack. However, this could still be a work in progress because the figures won’t ship until the last quarter of this year.

Owlman From ‘Lord of Tears’ Joins The One:12 Collective

The Owlman returns! Owlman! Enemy of the Dayman! Wait, that’s It’s Always Sunny, never mind. The Owlman is from a 2013 horror film called Lord of Tears. Mezco has created the movie’s creepy supernatural feathered entity for the One:12 Collective line of 6″ tall action figures.

The creepy half-man half-owl comes with multiple interchange hands and an alter. It’s the perfect place for storing James Findlay’s skull. Expect this gangly creature to ship between August and October of this year.

“Repay your debts with the included Alter of Moloch, found deep within the catacombs of the Findlay’s mansion. The Alter of Moloch features melted candles, fractured bones, and animal skulls, with a spot in the middle to place James Findlay’s decapitated head – a sacrifice to Moloch.”

The Owlman isn’t as accessory-heavy as most other One:12 Collective figures, but he comes with just enough props from the film to make him worth the $100 price tag.

  • One (1) head portrait
  • Hand painted authentic detailing
  • Approximately 17cm tall
  • Four (4) interchangeable hands
    • One (1) pair of claw hands (L&R)
    • One (1) pointing hand (R)
    • One (1) grabbing hand (L)
  • Tailored, weathered suit
  • Dress shoes
  • One (1) Alter of Moloch
  • One (1) decapitated head
  • One (1) James Findlay skull
  • Two (2) mansion keys
  • Two (2) blood splatter FX (attaches to left claw hand)
  • Six (6) feathers
  • One (1) One:12 Collective display base with logo
  • One (1) One:12 Collective adjustable display post

If you want to check out Lord of Tears, it can be streamed on YouTube:

“When a school teacher is plagued by recurring nightmares of a mysterious entity, he travels to his childhood home because suspects a link to a dark incident in his past.”

Henry Cavill Set To Return In ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’ Sequel?

Henry Cavill Set To Return In ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’ Sequel?

He may not be back as Superman or Geralt of Rivia, but there is one character that Henry Cavill may be returning to. Giant Freakin Robot claims to have some information regarding Cavill’s return to his former role as Napoleon Solo in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. The site’s “trusted and proven sources” state that Guy Ritchie will once again be at the helm, and the sequel is already in development.

This isn’t the first time Cavill has teamed up with Guy Ritchie since the first film’s debut. According to a Screen Rant article from last October, the former Superman is set to work with the filmmaker on The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare, a WWII action picture.

The big screen adaptation of N.B.C.’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E. television series premiered in 2015. Cavil starred alongside Armie Hammer, Hugh Grant, Jared Harris, Elizabeth Debicki, and Alicia Vikander. It was a classy throwback Cold War spy action thriller, but not as memorable as a Bond film or the last two Kingsman films. U.N.C.L.E. pulled in only $107 million on an estimated $70-$80M budget. It’s unclear what caused audiences to snub their noses at this film.

I don’t remember a whole lot from The Man From U.N.C.L.E. except for Cavill’s role. Honestly, it was the same way for me when the old N.B.C. series was on syndication in the late 1980s. I tuned in, watched, and forgot most things about it. Then again, it was hard to compete with the A-Team and A.L.F. Maybe if the show had a catchy theme like Mission Impossible, it would have helped.

If there’s one old show I’d love to see Henry Cavill star in, that would be Have Gun Will Travel. What are your fantasy roles for Cavill? Let us know below.

Ann leaves for the town of Lewiston, where the royal family holds a sugar sculpture festival. To become a Silver Sugar Master, she has to win the top spot and receive a royal medal.

In this world, humans treat fairies as slaves and take one of their wings to control them. Ann reluctantly buys a fairy named Shall to be a bodyguard on her way to Lewiston. Ann is torn between setting Shall free, but needing a bodyguard on the dangerous roads to the festival.”

The Japanese publisher Hakusensha released a manga version that ran for two volumes from the Fall of 2012 to the Fall of 2014. A second manga edition was published by Kadokawa Shoten beginning in 2021 and is published in North America by Yen Press.

Amazon’s RXPass Will Fill Prescriptions For $5 A Month

Amazon’s RXPass Will Fill Prescriptions For $5 A Month

Amazon is expanding its online pharmacy by adding a new subscription-only service that claims to provide a discount on several common medications, from Allopurinol to Venlafaxine. The RXPass costs $5 a month and allows users to “get all their prescribed medications on the RxPass list filled as often as they need for one flat monthly fee.”

If you’re taking multiple medications (see the complete list below) that total more than $5 a month, this is a decent cost-saving strategy if you’re in a State that accepts RXPass. Currently, residents of the following States cannot participate in the subscription service: California, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. Also, you cannot use an HSA or FSA to pay the $5 monthly fee.

Amazon claims that Prime members who subscribe to this service can save up to 68% on their meds. Via the RXPass page, the people who will “benefit most” are the following:

  • Prime members paying more than $5 a month for medications
  • Anyone taking a generic medication that’s eligible for RxPass
  • People who pay out-of-pocket for their medication

Here is the current list of covered medications:

  • ALLOPURINOL
  • AMLODIPINE
  • AMOXICILLIN
  • ATORVASTATIN
  • AZELASTINE
  • BENZTROPINE
  • BIOTIN
  • BUPROPION
  • CEPHALEXIN
  • CYCLOBENZAPRINE
  • CYPROHEPTADINE
  • DONEPEZIL
  • DOXAZOSIN
  • DOXEPIN
  • DOXYCYCLINE
  • DUTASTERIDE
  • ESCITALOPRAM
  • ESTRADIOL
  • FINASTERIDE
  • FLUTICASONE
  • FOLIC ACID
  • FUROSEMIDE
  • GLIPIZIDE
  • GLYBURIDE
  • HYOSCYAMINE
  • LAMOTRIGINE
  • LISINOPRIL
  • LOSARTAN
  • METHIMAZOLE
  • MOMETASONE
  • NAPROXEN
  • NYSTATIN
  • OMEPRAZOLE
  • ONDANSETRON
  • OXYBUTYNIN
  • PHENYTOIN
  • PIROXICAM
  • PRAMIPEXOLE
  • QUETIAPINE
  • RAMIPRIL
  • RISPERIDONE
  • RIZATRIPTAN
  • ROPINIROLE
  • ROSUVASTATIN
  • SERTRALINE
  • SILDENAFIL
  • SIMVASTATIN
  • SOTALOL
  • TAMOXIFEN CITRATE
  • TERAZOSIN
  • TIZANIDINE
  • VENLAFAXINE
  • VITAMIN B12

The question is, will you trust Amazon with your prescription information? The company claims your info will only be used under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) guidelines.

Considering how Amazon is expanding into many different areas (film, TV, gaming, meds), could this rapid and random growth lead to a major downfall? Rumors last year circulated that the company may terminate 11k workers from its global force, a move that other tech giants mirror.

Give Her The Gift Of Frankenstein’s Monster & His Bride!

Give Her The Gift Of Frankenstein’s Monster & His Bride!

If there’s one thing I think of when it comes to St. Valentine’s Day and love is this quote from The Bride of Frankenstein, “We belong dead!”

Super7 knows it’s hard for horror fans to find genre-specific items themed toward the lovey-dovey holiday. Everything is cute, cheerful, and not at all dark and gloomy. Now you can give your loved one the gift of a ReAction Monster and his Bride this February 14th!

Not only does the doomed duo come in a heart-shaped box, but the figures are also colored white and pink. The best part is that the pink parts of their outfits glow in the dark! The Valentine’s Day Heart Box two-pack is $45 and is currently available to ship!

“The perfect Valentine’s Day gift for any Monster Maniac! The Valentine’s Day Universal Monsters ReAction Figures 2-Pack features Frankenstein’s Monster and The Bride of Frankenstein in glow-in-the-dark pink, packaged on a plastic insert inside a heart-shaped box. What better way to celebrate than by giving your Valentine the gift of Universal Monsters ReAction Figures (although you should probably still get the chocolates, too)!”

I totally get what Super7 is going for by making a ReAction-themed Valentine’s day set with Frankenstein’s Monster and The Bride. In passing, it’s a cute way to celebrate the holiday with your horror-fan loved ones. However, if you’re familiar with the classic Universal Monster movie, you know that the tale of the creature and his mate does not end well.

It’s not even romantically tragic. The newly created Bride spurns the creature’s advances, hissing at him. The rejection causes the creature to declare that he, his mate, and the man who helped bring her to life should return to ash.

Premium Rocketeer & Betty Figures Are On The Way. Psylocke, Too!

Premium Rocketeer & Betty Figures Are On The Way. Psylocke, Too!

The Rocketeer is back! No, there’s no new Disney movie (thankfully, considering what happened to Willow). Instead, the original comic book version of the hero is flying back into the collectibles market with a new action figure two-pack.

The Big Bad Toy Store is taking pre-orders for 6″ tall versions of Cliff Secord and his girlfriend, Betty. The set comes in a fantastic box with artwork by the character’s creator, the late Dave Stevens. The price is a bit of a kicker, though.

Betty and Cliff are priced at $149.99. Unfortunately, this doesn’t appear to be a limited edition or numbered set from Executive Replicas. So, I do not quite understand the high price tag. However, if you’re a hardcore fan of The Rocketeer, I won’t blame you for spending that kind of money.

Cliff has 31 points of articulation and comes with the following accessories:

  • 6 Pairs of hands
  • Helmet
  • Rocket pack
  • Blast effect
  • Pistol

Betty has 28 points of articulation and zero accessories unless you include massive sex appeal. The expected ship day is this June or July.

Recently, the classic version of the Rocketeer that appeared in comics starting in the early 1980s is gaining more popularity than its Disney counterpart. We recently covered an amazing-looking watch based on the WWII-era hero and some upcoming retro-styled action figures. It’s an excellent time to be a Rocketeer fan!

Another pricy figure we spotted today is Medicom’s classic version of X-MEN’s Psylocke. Before Marvel/Disney did all sorts of weird things to her design, Psylocke was one of the iconic sexy heroes from the early ’90s comic book days.

Thankfully, this 5.1″ tall, super posable action figure displays all of that beautiful nostalgia. She’ll cost ya, though. Psylocke is $104.99, but she does come with plenty of accessories that could make her the star of your X-MEN collection:

  • 2 Head sculpts
  • 6 Energy effects
  • 2 Katanas
  • 2 Scabbards
  • Katana/Scabbard accessory
  • 3 Pairs of hands
  • Stand

Expect the assassin mutant to arrive this April.

Despite being ostracized for being a commoner, Ray befriends the prideful yet kind Amelia Rose, the muscle-brained Evy Armstrong, and the shy and bookish Elisa. However, conspiracy is lurking in the academy walls, and Ray is tasked with hunting down a spy whose motives remain unclear. To protect his newfound friends and the people he holds dear, Ray will do whatever it takes, even if it means confronting his past.”
