TMNT’s April O’Neil is NECA’s Bride of Frankenstein!

The NECA Store has transformed Judith Hoag’s April O’Neil into the Universal’s Bride of Frankenstein! From hard-hitting reporter to reanimated corpse, what a career move!
April will be available in two editions: standard and signature. The signature edition will come with a signed photo from Judith Hoag, as the name implies. That option comes with a $99.99 price tag, according to Figures.com, and is limited to only 2,000 copies. The standard version of the reimagined figure is only
$32.99.
Franken-April will be the perfect companion for NECA’s Raphael as The Monster. Pre-orders for April will be available until May 11th or while supplies last. Click here to pick up yours!

April as The Bride reimagines Judith Hoag’s April O’Neil as the Bride of Frankenstein in a terrifying mashup! Electrifying exposés! Shocking news stories! It’s journalism that really goes for the jugular. WTRL’s only reanimated reporter digs up the dirt with a full complement of accessories, and never misses a DEADline… This 7” scale figure includes microphone, handbag, spider, lightning bolt sai, interchangeable heads and swappable hands. Comes in collector-friendly window box packaging with opening flap featuring an all-new, breath-taking illustration by Daniel Horne.

It shouldn’t be surprising that Hoag was the April NECA chose to be in this mashup toyline. Over the past year, the actress has done quite some work with NECA to promote the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys. In addition, she had her own segment on NECA’s YouTube channel, which you can check it out below.

From what I remember, Hoag wasn’t all thrilled about the violence level in the first TMNT movie. Maybe she’s seen that the brand and fans are more interested in the characters than the fighting? Regardless, it’s cool to have someone attached to the original production here to promote it.

No Way Home’s Electro Is Looking Good As A Hot Toys Figure

No Way Home’s Electro Is Looking Good As A Hot Toys Figure

Spider-Man: No Way Home did an excellent job fixing the problems The Amazing Spider-Man 2 created. It gave Andrew Garfield’s Spidey the heart he needed; it also allowed Electro to be less goofy regarding design. Opting for a more down-to-earth approach, Jamie Foxx’s Electro manages to be more realistic while also showing off homages to the villain’s comic book origins.
Sideshow Collectibles has announced that Electro is joining the Hot Toys line of 1/6th scale figures. He’s loaded with lots of effects accessories and LED lights. How would an Electro figure be complete if you could not show off his lightning powers? He is priced at $285 and will be coming out around the second half of 2023.

Meticulously crafted based on Electro’s appearance in the movie, the movie-accurate Marvel figure features a newly developed head sculpt of Max Dillon a.k.a. Electro with stunning likeness; a detail recreation of his practical outfit with real-like cables; lightning effect accessories including a star-shaped mask inspired by his original design from comic pages; and a figure stand.

Max Dillon, a.k.a Electro will come with the following accessories and features:

  • ED light-up areas located at circle-shaped arc reactor on chest (white light, battery operated)
  • Six (6) pieces of interchangeable gloved hands including:
    • One (1) pair of fists
    • One (1) pair of open hands
    • One (1) pair of gesture hands
  • Each head sculpt is specially hand-painted
  • One (1) black shirt with silver plates and yellow cables wrapped around
  • One (1) pair of beige colored pants with silver plates and yellow cables wrapped around
  • One (1) utility belt
  • One (1) pair of brown colored working boots
  • Four (4) pieces of lightning effect accessories (attachable to face, chest and fists)

Beast Kingdom’s Little Ronin Logan Is Adorable

Beast Kingdom’s Little Ronin Logan Is Adorable

Sometimes you need a break from the yellow and blue spandex. While deadly regardless of his garb, Logan looks even more intimidating when he doesn’t resemble a neon sign. Much like his Patch disguise, sometimes mixing things up helps to add to the mutant’s already legendary profile.
Beast Kingdom‘s interestingly named Egg Attack Action (EAA) figures will be adding Logan to the line. This addition sees the adamantium-clawed X-Man in his ronin attire. Logan stands at 6″ tall and is loaded with accessories. The robes are made from fabric, and he has interchangeable hands and an alternate head. He’s priced at $99.99 and will be coming out in March 2023.

Beast Kingdom

The 6-inch EAA action figure under the EAA (Egg Attack Action) brand of Beast Kingdom launches the special EAA-094 X-Men Ronin Logan! With the included two faces sculpts collectors are able to show off the mighty character in his different angry moods! A full Samurai outfit made of real fabric, as well as a Samurai sword and collection of replaceable hands and add-ons, complete the set!

Ronin Logan comes with the following features and accessories:

  • Dedicated EAA body with over 20 points of articulation
  • Use of real fabric in the outfit and clothing
  • Two (2) replaceable head sculpts (Regular, open mouth)
  • Two (2) replaceable hairstyles (Regular, Samurai)
  • Four (4) replaceable hands (Closed fist, open, gripping, clenched)
  • Katana sword
  • Special, branded base with logo
  • Dedicated EAA body with over 20 points of articulation
  • Use of real fabric in the outfit and clothing
  • Two (2) replaceable head sculpts (Regular, open mouth)
  • Two (2) replaceable hairstyles (Regular, Samurai)
  • Four (4) replaceable hands (Closed fist, open, gripping, clenched)
  • Katana sword
  • Special, branded base with logo

I’m hopeful that Logan/Wolverine will get a more comic book accurate look when he is introduced into the MCU. While the FOX X-Men movies were pretty good sometimes, Wolverine needed to be more vicious.

Metal Slug’s SV-001 Tank Can Be Yours, POW Boxers Included!

We may not be able to have a real-life SV-001 tank from Metal Slug 3, but Beast Kingdom is getting us as close as possible without breaking the bank.
The SV-001 measures 37 X 20 X 35 in centimeters, including the base. The street lamp and hearth below the iconic tank have light-up features. Three modular accessories include an “IN” sign, POW’s boxers, and the rocket launcher ammo pickup.
The tank is priced at $349.99 and is made of polystone. Each statue comes with a numbered plaque, but I couldn’t find how many pieces overall will be produced. Expect this heavy machinery to roll out in July 2023.

Beast Kingdom’s ‘Entertainment Experience Brand’ gives fans of extremely detailed works of art the chance to own a piece of gaming history with the launch of SV-001 Master Craft Tank. Limited to only 3,000 pieces worldwide, the hand-painted and crafted statue is a professionally made piece recreating the battle-worn tank with an immense focus on the fine details. A matching painted base brings to life a broken bridge with a set of movable extras including a street sign, game logo, ‘R rocket launcher’ as well as an extra pair of underpants from the saved POW, giving fans ample ways to set up the collectible piece.

Metal Slug 3 first appeared in arcades in 2000. Since then, it has migrated onto nearly every platform imaginable. It was one of the first games I purchased for my PSP Go. The second sequel could be considered the high point in the series, featuring amazing pixel animation and a few great horror/sci-fi moments. You can literally be turned into a zombie and vomit waves of blood at your enemies!

Batter Up! The ‘Ultimate Griff Tannen’ Wants To Know If You’re In Or Out.

Batter Up! The ‘Ultimate Griff Tannen’ Wants To Know If You’re In Or Out.

Whether it’s 1885, 1955, or 2015, there are always two constants: Trannens and bullying. Although, of course, some bullying is a little more severe and deadly depending on the Tannen. While not as murderous as his ancestor Mad Dog Tannen, Giff of 2015 is no less hostile and maybe a little less sane.
Continuing its Back to the Future figures, NECA will be releasing the ‘Ultimate’ Griff Tannen action figure this September. Like the other figures in the series, Griff will come with an assortment of screen-accurate accessories. The thug with the illegal bionic implants is outfitted with his “Kirk Gibson Jr.” Slugger 2000 bat and Pit Bull hoverboard. The name of the bat was changed for obvious legal reasons. Griff also comes with an interchangeable head minus the helmet.

In Back to the Future Part 2, Marty and Doc experience the adventure of a lifetime in an unlikely time machine as they travel to the past, present, and future, setting off a time-shattering chain reaction that disrupts the space-time continuum! Standing approximately 7” tall, this Ultimate Griff Tannen figure is a menace! Includes telescoping bat, interchangeable head, hoverboard, and flight stand accessories.


NECA’s figures have stayed within the ranges of the three main characters of the trilogy. We’ve not seen a George McFly or anyone else so far. But could we get Griff’s gang? Data, Spike, and Whitey have unique looks in BTTF II and would make for cool action figures. Getting the rights to these actors’ likenesses would probably be easier than dealing with Crispin Glover.
I picked up the 2015 Marty McFly figure last year. As far as detail goes, it was terrific. The build quality, though? Ugh. The stand used to create the hover illusion had a loose connection to the hoverboard. So, Marty would always drop to one side and off the shelf. Also, one of his arms was wobbly, so I never tried to rotate it out of fear of falling off. I’m not sure if this is a common thing with NECA products, but it has always made me second guess picking something up unless I was going to keep it in the box.

The Most Magical Ladies On Eternia Get Their Own Art Scale Statues

The Most Magical Ladies On Eternia Get Their Own Art Scale Statues

The women who aid He-Man and Skeletor are ready for the spotlight! These Iron Studios’ Art Scale statues of Evil-Lyn and the Sorceress of Grayskull are modeled after their Filmation counterparts, much like the Skeletor and Prince Adam statues we covered earlier.
This does mean the outfits are less flashy than the 200X versions; however, the Filmation-inspired statues are far more colorful. I can’t be the only one who misses that shade of purple on the classic Evil-Lyn.
Evil-Lyn and the Sorceress are $139.99 each. A release date has not been finalized yet, but make sure to check out Iron Studios’ website for more details. Both statues will stand at 11.8″ tall and are made of polystone.

Serving as second-in-command for an evil sorcerer and as her most mighty and intelligent accomplice, the feared witch casts her magic with her mystic staff and her right hand, both forming spiral nacreous energy beams. As powerful as she is a leader, she watches over her objectives with cold and confident eyes, waiting to take advantage of her master’s powers and rule planet Eternia one day.

Exceptionally powerful within the limits of the castle of which she is the guardian, the beautiful sorceress raises her arms, opening part of the big wings with blue and orange feathers that compose her costume. Wearing a type of swimsuit and blue and white boots, with her head covered by a helmet in the shape of a falcon’s head, she gestures using her wide range of magic skills, while going down the stairs of Castle Grayskull.

Which one tickles your fancy? Both maybe? In the comments section below, let us know what you think about the Sorceress and Evil-Lyn.

‘Masters of The Universe’ Celebrates 40 Years With A New He-Man Toy!

Star Wars is shrinking on toy shelves while the Masters of the Universe takes over with two separate product lines. Who knew we’d be seeing 1985 happen all over again? The Origins and Revelations lines are still going strong, with even more figures on the way. While the Netflix-inspired toys may not have the staying power of Origins, it’s nice to see sword and sorcery figures getting the push they deserve.
Although it’s a bit past due, which we can excuse given the totally wrecked state of the world, we can all celebrate MotU‘s 40th anniversary with a brand new 7″ tall He-Man figure! Pre-orders are available now at the Big Bad Toy Store for $23.99. The expected release date is in the 3rd quarter of this year.

The strongest man in the universe is called to fit in with the Revelations line, and that’s not all he appears to have in common with the toys in that series. A closer look reveals that he has much of the same buck, except for the head and loincloth being different. The accessories, including the sword, shield, and ax, are all styled after the 1981 series. I can’t blame Mattel for reusing parts. At least we got a classic He-Man head!
If you’re wondering if He-Man and company can still hold kids’ interests, they can. I picked up the first He-Man and Skeletor figures in the Origins line a while ago and gave them to my daughter. After finding She-Ra and Evil-Lyn, I started explaining the relationships between the characters, and suddenly she was off playing house. Evil-Lyn was ordering Skeletor around while He-Man and She-Ra were busy gathering up all the lost My Little Pony figures. Ah, the power of imagination.

Purgatori’s New Statue Is All Sorts Of Beautiful

Purgatori’s New Statue Is All Sorts Of Beautiful

I miss those days in the 1990s when female comic book villains and heroines could be absolutely stunning. What do we have now? Androgenous Hawkeye and a Captain Marvel who looks like Jason Mewes? No, thank you! I’ll take some beauties like Lady Death, Vampirella, and Purgatori, please.
PCS has managed to outdoor the wow factor we saw with its Vampirella statue by creating one based on a more devious vampire, the goddess herself Purgatori. Looking like she flew straight out of an Evil Ernie comic, Purgatori is clad in her signature leather outfit (as minimal as it may be). She’s also spreading them wide. Her wings! I’m talking about her wings!
The enslaved Egyptian turned blood-sucking fiend measures 33.25″ tall, and the base is 33.5″ wide. She also comes with some accessories. Bangs! Yes, interchangeable bangs! OK, it’s not an exciting selling feature, but it’s similar to the swappable heads we saw on Vampirella. You can get the classic or the newer look without laying down an additional $1,375.
The blood-red babe will be shipping out sometime between December and March 2023.

The Purgatori 1:3 Scale Statue is fully sculpted with black costume pieces featuring small gold accents, including her bikini top and bottom, a choker, long gloves, and thigh-high boots. Her red and black wings have veined details and large talons at each end. Purgatori’s portrait features sculpted black hair, striking yellow eyes, pointed horns, and vampire fangs peeking out behind parted red lips. An ankh necklace representing her past life completes her signature look.

Maybe once Hollywood gets off of the MCU formula, we can get back to having more corny and adult-themed comic book movies. A Chaos! Comics cinematic universe would be a thing I could get behind.

Netflix Cancels Two More Animated Series

Netflix Cancels Two More Animated Series

It was only just over a week ago it was announced that drastic changes were being made in the animation department at Netflix. Now that appears to be only the beginning of a list of cancellations and layoffs.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, two shows have “stopped production”. Dino Daycare and Boons and Curses were the latest animated series on the chopping block. Originally announced in 2020, Dino Daycare took place in a world where dinosaurs never went extinct and a 6-year-old boy helps out at a nursery for baby dinos of all shapes and sizes. The series was created by Jeff King and executive produced by Chris Nee (who also executive produced Doc McStuffins and was writer for Vampirina). Chris Nee share a tweet after the announcement was made public:

“Hard day for a beautiful show deep into production. So much love to Jeff King and the incredible Dino Daycare crew. I have no doubt it will find a new home. But right now, hard. If you need the best of preschool writers, DM me.

Boons and Curses was announced in May of last year along with other Asian American inspired animated features and series. The South Asia inspired story was about a young warrior who has been cursed into butter, but that doesn’t stop this warrior from taking on an evil ruler. The series was planned to air in 2023.

A member of the production team took to Twitter to explain what they were told by Netflix as to what happened behind the scenes surrounding the cancellation of Boons and Curses.

“Netflix just cancelled the production I have been on since last August, the unparalleled @jayhasrajani‘s Boons & Curses.”

Near the end of the twitter thread, Marcy added further explanation relating to how Netflix told them the news:

“They dropped this news on us literally within the hour of a production celebration that we were going to have for our first episode shipped. Now, it’s all stopping.

They told us their main reason for cancellation was trouble they were having deciding if it belonged in an “action” slate or a “comedy” slate. I’m sure you can decide on the validity of that yourself.”

Writer and producer of Boons and Curses, Jay Hasrajani, shared on his Twitter that he intends to talk about this later:

He has also been sharing many tweets from fellow members of the production crew who were working with him on the new series. One such example is from Twitter user @ianlaser:

“Our whole crew just got laid off from “Boones and Curses” over at Netflix. The work we did was amazing. So sad no one will get to see the beautiful things we were working on. Loved this crew.”

Hopefully the cancelled shows will find other places to continue what was started. But until then, who else will be laid off? What else will be cancelled? I’m sure we will find out soon enough.
