Four Horsemen Announce Delay to Kickstarter Gothitropolis Ravens – But Looks to be Worth It

We’d heard from the Four Horsemen that there were some issues with the sizing of the Gothitropolis Ravens and were expecting some delays to come from that. They’ve just announced that they expect it to be about a 2 month delay. Originally targeted at March, this would mean May at the soonest.

I continue to be very bullish on this project – the 4H have always striven to deliver quality products, and when they’ve had missteps they’ve corrected them. While I’d love to have my ravens now, I’m happy to wait for them to get it right. They’ve shared a ton of pics – it looks like they’re making great progress.

Win a Signed Masters of the Universe Classics Fisto in Mattycollector Photo Contest

If you’re looking for another opportunity to get Fisted by Mattycollector (groan, I know) then here’s your chance. In another “show off your collection” contest, Mattel is offering up four Masters of the Universe Classics Fisto figures, signed by Toy Guru and Terry Higuchi. If you weren’t a Club Eternia subscriber in 2012, chances are you weren’t able to get him, at least off of the Mattycollector site.

Since the Matty team plans on announcing the winners at Toy Fair, time is short – so get snapping and submit your entry before the contest closes on Thursday, February 6.

Fisto Contest 1/27 – 2/6
Enter to Win a Signed Fisto™ Figure

Mattycollector Fisto contest

What’s a whole lot better than a knuckle sandwich? How about getting your hands on a highly popular Fisto™ figure! Send us your best shot of your Masters of the Universe® toy collection and you could be one of four lucky winners. Here’s how…

Our line is entering its sixth year, and we want to see how impressive your collection has become. Show us how creative you are at displaying your figures. Who has the prime spot front and center? Who’s conspiring in the back? Who’s in your army? (You do have an army, right?) We’re looking for originality, enthusiasm, and that true collector spirit.

This highly popular figure sold out faster than you can say “five fierce fingers” when it was released in February 2012 and has not been available since. But, we convinced our marketing and design departments to part with four figures from their own personal collections, and we’ll award them to the most deserving fans based on the entries we receive. These figures are new, still in the box, and signed by our own Toy Guru Scott Neitlich and the figure’s designer Terence Higuchi.

Make sure you read ALL the rules (click here to get the forms you need) and submit them to us with your photo as a JPG. We’ll select the winners and announce them at the New York Toy Fair and on MattyCollector.com on or before February 17, 2014. The winning photos will be also posted (#FistoContest) for enhanced glory and bragging rights.

Watch From Clay to Clayface – DC Collectibles Sculpting Time-Lapse Videos

Marv and Hartigan from Sin City to be Resurrected by Diamond Select Toys

The Sin City movie by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller is nearing nine years old – but with a second movie due out in August this year, Diamond Select Toys has picked up the brand from previous licensee, NECA. DST will produce figures in the 7-inch scale under its Select branding.

The first series features three characters from the original movie, Marv, Hartigan, and Nancy. All three will also be featured in the sequel (or prequel, as both Marv and Hartigan met their ends), A Dame to Kill, and I’m guessing DST will produce figures for this movie as well. Sin City Select Series 1 will hit shelves in early July.


Sin City Select Series 1 Action Figures

Walk down the right back alley in Sin City and you can find anything, but you don’t need to live in Sin City to get high-quality Select action figures of the movie’s main cast! The first series of 7-inch-scale, fully poseable figures from DST includes Marv, Hartigan and Nancy, all based on their appearances in the 2005 feature film. Each figure comes packaged with a deluxe display base and accessories in the famous Select display packaging, complete with spine reference artwork. Sculpted by Jean St. Jean!

Marv Figure (SRP $24.99, item #FEB142055)
Hartigan Figure (SRP $24.99, item #FEB142056)
Nancy Figure (SRP $24.99, item #FEB142057)
