The final battle for action figure supremacy is going on right now at FANtastic Exclusive (http://www.FANtasticExclusive.com) and the final two combatants are already leaving their marks on one another!
After one week of voting and more than 1,000 votes, the Four Horsemen are reporting that the ravenous Raven has put down the war-hardened Wolfbat by less than fifty votes!
Even more amazing, and proving that every vote does indeed count, the malicious Ministry of Hunters have pounded a stake in the heart of the voluptuous Vampire Lady, taking the win by only five votes!
The Four Horsemen had this to say, “In all of the years of the FANtastic Exclusive project, there has never been a vote in any category that ended so closely. We considered letting this voting bracket continue for a few more days to see if either contestant was going to be able to pull farther ahead, but we’d made a statement that the Semi-Finals bracket was only going to last one week, and we wanted to keep things on schedule as announced.”
So, for fans of both the Wolfbat and the Vampire Lady, don’t despair. The popularity of both of those characters has ensured that they’ll be back.
This week the Raven will take on the Ministry of Hunters in the Championship Bracket. Will the Raven win the battle and peck at the entrails of the Ministry of Hunters? Will the Ministry of Hunters make short work of the Raven and use his feathers to make a celebratory head-dress?
It’s up to you to decide who’s going to take the top spot in the Championship Bracket!
The current plan is to have the Championship Bracket last a week – ending next Monday, just as the previous two Brackets have, but after seeing how close the Semi-Finals bracket was, depending on how close the Championship Bracket voting is by next Monday, it may run longer so we can determine a clear cut Champion.
FANtastic Exclusive. War is hell. In this case, it’s literal.
Earlier news reports that Hot Toys would be releasing two new Jokers from The Dark Knight were only partially correct. Hot Toys has indeed introduced a new deluxe format Joker, but it will feature interchangeable parts that allow you to display the Joker in either his Gotham City Police uniform or in an improved costume featuring his bomb-laden overcoat.
In addition, the figure will feature a new system for poseable eyes. I’ve not collected figures in this format before, but this may be the first!
