Amigo Toyz New Dracula Vinyl Figure Is Limited To 100 Pieces

Halloween may be over, but every day is a reason to celebrate Samhain for a horror fan! Get a jump start on next year’s festivities with this limited edition Amigo Toyz Dracula.
This variant of Amigo Toysz’s famous vampire features glow-in-the-dark whites and fangs. The bloodsucker is 10″ tall and comes with a fabric cape and beady red eyes. He is imported from Spain and is priced at $199.99.
The standard version of Drac is still available, along with Nosferatu and Mr. Hyde. These guys remind me of Rankin/Bass’s Mad Monster Party characters.

“I want you to believe… to believe in things that you cannot.” Amigo Toyz latest Monster Home release “Dracula.” Please note this is an Artist made designer vinyl Import from Spain!Each one is handmade by the artist. These will be extremely limited to only 100 pcs!

Features and accessories:

  • Green Skin Dracula!

  • Dracula is approx 10 in tall.
  • 6 points of articulation.
  • Includes real cloth cape, Mini photo frame accessory, and figure display base.
  • Comes in classic Monster Home styled package.

The excellent little detail I noticed between this Drac and the other is that the cape lining is red. I’m pretty sure this is an homage to Christopher Lee’s Hammer incarnation of Dracula. The price is a bit steep, though.
I’m not sure why both the standard and glowy Dracs are priced the same. The other figures in this series don’t appear to be limited in quantity. Oh, well.

Marvel Comics Announces New Defenders Line-Up

Marvel Comics taps writer Al Ewing and artist Javier Rodríguez to tackle a relaunch of the Defenders. Dr. Strange, The Masked Rider, Silver Surfer, Red Harpy, and Cloud are just a few who are teaming up to take on some cosmic and magical battles.
“When existence itself faces extraordinary threats, it needs an extraordinary defense. That’s when you call… the Defenders! Doctor Strange and the Masked Raider take a non-team of Marvel’s weirdest, wildest heroes on a mission that will uncover the hidden architecture of reality itself! This cosmos was not the first to exist… but if the Defenders can’t track Marvel’s oldest villain through the deepest trenches of time—it might be the last,” Marvel wrote on their website.
“The cards portend something Strange as we open on a gorgeous double-page spread from Rodríguez. Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme has been all turned around over an “inauspicious” reading that bears ill news… in this case a gun to the head. The Masked Raider has dropped in to “chat” about a grave, cosmic imbalance,” they continue. “Using his enchanted deck of cards, Doctor Strange races through magical means to assemble this latest team of cosmic Defenders. And, the Tarot of the Secret Flame calls forth none other than original Defender Silver Surfer! Red Harpy, AKA Betty Banner, and ex-Defender Cloud also join the fray.”
The team will be dealing with Taaia of Planet Taa, mother of Galactus, who is facing down the menacing threat of Omnimax, a threat to the whole cosmic.
“After summoning his unwitting team, Doctor Strange and the Defenders crash land in the “Sixth Cosmos” of the Multiverse, or the birthplace of the Devourer of Worlds. Taaia of Planet Taa already seems as fearsome as her son, but the present action has everyone staring down an even more menacing foe—the planet-eating Omnimax,” Marvel adds.
They also released an image of the first issue:

Funimation Announces ‘Otherside Picnic’ English Dub

‘Otherside Picnic’ is a science fiction light novel written by Iori Miyazawa that follows a young college student who gets pulled into the “Otherside,” a different dimension where urban legends are real. The books were adapted into an anime by Liden Films and Felix Film with director Takuya Satō overseeing the television show.
“Can you survive in another dimension? We’re excited to announce that the Otherside Picnic English dub is officially headed to Funimation, and we’ve got the latest info on the series English cast, crew and more,” Funimation wrote on their website. “…all 12 episodes of the Otherside Picnic English dub will arrive on Funimation, which means your journey into this mystery sci-fi series is about to begin (or begin again!).”
“The English cast for the series includes Madeleine Morris (Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, Kemono Jihen) as Sorawo Kamikoshi and Emily Neves (Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, Toilet-bound Hanako-kun) as Toriko Nishina,” they added.
The rest of the cast includes Sarah Wiedenheft, AmaLee, Z. Charles Bolton, Christopher Guerrero, Billy Kametz, Chris Wehkamp, Katelyn Barr, Michelle Lee, and Michelle Rojas, who will also serve as ADR Director.
You can watch the trailer below:

MyAnimeList describes the series,
“The “Otherworld” is a vast and dangerous realm hidden from the knowledge of the common folk. It is also home to many creatures that threaten any human who dare visit it. To witness its desolate yet oddly absorbing environment, one must search for portals that could reside anywhere, from secret elevators to shrine entrances.
After a fateful encounter with a horrendous Otherworld denizen, Sorao Kamikoshi ponders whether to keep going or give up in life. Meanwhile, Toriko Nishina scours the Otherworld in hopes of finding her friend Satsuki, who she believes is lost somewhere within the realm.
When the two cross paths, friendship blossoms. In order to acquire as much information about this obscure dimension, the two travel back and forth from the real world to the other. Sorao and Toriko’s bodies are soon influenced by the Otherworld, preparing them for the many horrors to come as both of them try to fulfill their goals.”

The Best Thing About HeroQuest? It’s Back This December!

The Best Thing About HeroQuest? It’s Back This December!

Avalon Hill and Hasbro crowdfunded the project in 2020. A year later, the resurrected sword and sorcery game system is finally coming out for the general public. Entertainment Earth has the RPG board game available for pre-order.
The massive $125.99 set includes many classic elements from the 1988 original, including the furniture, doorways, bookcases, skeletons, zombies, THE GARGOYLE, and the four heroes.
When the original game was released in the ’80s, it was an easy-to-access gateway into the world of fantasy roleplaying games for kids. That is if you could find other people willing to set aside a few hours to play the game. So it was D&D lite, but not in a negative way.
The box featured art from Les Edwards, updated here while also paying homage to the man’s fantastic work. By the looks of things, the new HeroQuest is just like the original but with some modifications and fixes.
The furniture and doorways have nixed the cardboard parts, but this means you’ll have to paint more stuff if you want to take advantage of all the molded detail. Thankfully the monsters and heroes have not gone overboard with detail, retaining their iconic look.

Avalon Hill
Avalon Hill

This semi-cooperative board game has one player taking on the role of Zargon, the Game Master, while 4 mythical heroes – Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf, and Wizard–team up in their quest for adventure in a maze of monsters and eerie dark dungeons. Players can immerse themselves in the fantasy with the stunning artwork, and 65+ detailed miniatures. The game comes with 14 quests, and has limitless replayability because players can also build their own quests and create their own stories. Gather friends together for an exciting night of tabletop gameplay in an epic battle of good and evil. The game is for 2-5 players, ages 14 and up.

‘Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut’ Is Getting An English Dub

‘Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut’ is a science fiction fantasy light novel series written by Keisuke Makino which also got a manga published by Shogakukan. Its popularity led to an anime adaption from Arvo Animation with director Akitoshi Yokoyama that launched in October 2021 with Funimation announcing an English dub.
“The first person in space…was a vampire! We’re excited to announce that the Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut English dub is officially on its way to Funimation, and we’ve got info on the series cast and when you can watch,” Funimation said on their website. “Episode 1 of the Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut English dub will arrive on Funimation, so if you haven’t gotten a chance to experience this alternate take on the Space Race, there’s never been a more perfect time.”
They continue, “The English voice cast of the series includes Tia Ballard (FAIRY TAIL, Toilet-bound Hanako-kun) as Irina Luminesk and Stephen Fu (WONDER EGG PRIORITY, Darwin’s Game) as Lev Leps.”
Wikipedia describes the synopsis as, “With the conclusion of the World War in 1945, the world is divided between two major superpowers: the Zirnitra Union in the east and the United Kingdom of Arnack in the west. With their borders set on earth, both superpowers look to space as the next frontier for expansion, sparking a space race. However, Zirnitra has a trump card in the form of Irina Luminesk, a vampire who they hope to use as a test subject to spearhead research into achieving the first human spaceflight.”
“In order to ensure her training goes smoothly, the young cosmonaut candidate Lev Leps is assigned to be her handler. While he is instructed to treat Irina as nothing more than a test subject, Lev cannot help but be fascinated with the young vampire girl,” the synopsis adds.
The cast also includes Jād Saxton, Mark Stoddard, Marcus Stimac, Jonah Scott, Kyle Phillips, Anthony Bowling, Jarrod Greene, Kimmie Britt, and Caitlin Glass with Cris George serving as ADR Director.

Justice League’s Steppenwolf Statue is How Much?!

Justice League’s Steppenwolf Statue is How Much?!

The Snyder Cut of Justice League has to be one of the most polarizing comic book movies I’ve ever come across. Everyone seems to have a strong opinion of it, either positive or negative. Yet, no one ever says, “meh.” Regardless, is either version of the films’ main villain notable enough to warrant a $1,804 statue?
At least in the original cut of the film, Steppenwolf was often referred to as a generic video game villain. Unfortunately, his design was uninspired, and I honestly forgot everything about him. He was no Darkseid … which is why the big bad had to be shown so often in the Snyder cut, I guess.
Well, someone thought he was worth the effort because Prime 1 Studio made a 40″ tall statue of the guy. Yeah, he’s enormous. But, as a static figure, he is impressive, if not somewhat generic. If you showed him to me without telling me, he was a DC villain, and I’d have no idea who he was.
Steppenwolf will ship sometime between January and May 2023. He can be pre-ordered from Sideshow right now.

With the Snyder cut of Justice League, Steppenwolf not only received a fuller backstory complete with pathios and motivation; he also received a gleaming renovation. Sculpting all the intricate detail of this magnificent costume was no easy feat, but Prime 1 Studio was up to the herculean task. Not only that, we made sure to paint this statue in a faithful rendering of the glossiest, shiniest metal paint as to accentuate his new costume from every angle. He may be a bad guy, but he really doesn’t have a bad side, so to speak!

So, who is gonna put down the nearly $2k for this thing? There’s gotta be a JL superfan out there who has already pre-ordered at least two of them. Who was it? I need names!

Wolverine’s Robot Clone Albert and Elsie-Dee Make A Great Statue!

Wolverine’s Robot Clone Albert and Elsie-Dee Make A Great Statue!

There was a point in the Wolverine comics during the early ’90s when the bladed mutant was hunted by a robot clone of himself, and it also had a companion in the form of a little girl android. But, man, Marvel was throwing everything at the wall.
Albert, the Wolvie robot, and Elsie-Dee have teamed up again, but this time as a statue from Iron Studios. If you remember the storyline, you probably remember that Albert rarely seemed to have much synthetic skin left on his body. Meanwhile, Elsie-Dee looks as pristine as ever in her pink dress while calling the shots.
The statue stands at just over 8″ tall and is priced at $250. The duo will ship sometime between October and December 2022. It can be pre-ordered now from Sideshow Collectibles.

Created by cyborg supervillain Donald Pierce, the droids Elsie-Dee (a pun on LCD, for their artificial origin) with the appearance of a five-year-old girl, and their counterpart, Albert (a robot, copy of Logan), were designed to kill Wolverine. Thanks to the evolved artificial intelligence of Elsie-Dee and Albert (named after Albert Einstein), they come to the conclusion that Logan was a noble person and didn’t deserve to die, and thus, abandon their original mission and become eventual allies of the mutant hero. Elsie-Dee has superior intellect, can interact with computers, and has above-average strength. Albert has similar characteristics, claws like Wolverine (but not adamantium), fighting abilities, and reinforced armor on the metallic parts of his body.

I remember the Elsie-Dee and Albert story playing out in the comics when I was a kid. My friend let me borrow all the issues, and then I forgot to give them back at the end of the school year. He was never seen again. Did my failure to return his comics cause some major tragic event to unfold? My god!
What do you think of the statue? Should the Robo-Wolverine storyline play out on the big screen when the MCU finally gets around to bringing in the X-MEN? Let us know in the comments.
