The Four Horsemen kicked off Toy Fair 2012 with Toypocalypse 2 – Futuretro, the second installment of their toy art show. Like last year’s Toypocalypse, the 4H had a whole mess of goodness on display, and they also added a display case from Onell Designs and a wall of custom action figures and artwork for their Outer Space Men “Futuretro” line.

ActionFigureExpress is one of the convention mainstays that will have a great presence at New York Comic Con, with exclusives from Marvel Minimates, the Four Horsemen, Thundercats, and more.
VeeBee and I had the chance to sit down again with Eric Treadaway of the Four Horsemen at San Diego Comic-Con a few weeks back. VeeBee just posted the final part of the interview at the Fwoosh, and you should also out the first, second, and third parts too. As always, it was a fascinating conversation that ran the gamut, including Masters of the Universe Classics, DC Universe Classics, and their own Fantastic Exclusives.
The whole thing provides some great insight into the entire lifecycle of making action figures, but I particularly enjoyed Eric talking about creating his own Masters of the Universe Classics character (in the part one of the interview) as well as some of the background behind the revamping of the DC Universe Classics line in the coming year (in part three), especially with the sub pre-orders coming up shy.
With the total subscriptions for Club Infinite Earths in the pre-order phase closing out at just above 60% of the desired target, and Mattel promising a related announcement this week, I’m really curious to see if Mattel is going to move forward in some way despite missing the target subscription number.
So, what do you think Mattel is going to share with us this week?
I’ve been pretty busy with my day job (as evidenced by the relative lack of updates here) but not too busy to put in my order for Scarabus at the Store Horsemen site (which has a new URL: http://www.shopfourhorsemen.com/). I knew I wasn’t going to have room for the awesome Scarabus 10-pack, but I did want to get all of the Egyptian-themed variants, which the Four Horsemen made available for pre-order as the Dark Deities set.
I really dig what the Four Horsemen have done with the Fantastic Exclusive Gothitropolis Scarabus figures, but I am going to have to mull it over if I am going to pick up a 10-pack. I like all the variants, especially the different paint schemes the Horsemen have come up with, but to be honest I don’t know what I’d do with them all – I just don’t have the shelf space.
I think you’ll be very pleased if you decide to go for the big box – all of those guys standing together would look extremely cool.
Scarabus figure 10-packs will go up for pre-order this coming Tuesday night (March 1st, 2011) at 9:00pm EST at the Four Horsemen’s online retail outlet – Store Horsemen.
Each Scarabus 10-pack contains one of each of the Scarabus variants, including Scarabus himself, (see images below) as well as a free Four Horsemen poster/print signed by the Four Horsemen!
While the upcoming Scarabus three-packs, two-packs & singles will be priced so that each figure will be $30.00 each, and will be spaced out in monthly pre-order releases to help your wallet as much as possible, if you pre-order the Scarabus 10-pack, you’ll be able to save on both cost and shipping!
In the 10-pack, you’ll get all 10 figures and the poster/print for only $275.00 (plus shipping & handling)!! That’s only $27.50 per figure – a $25.00 total savings!! Plus, you’ll be saving on shipping charges by having them all shipped to you in one box as well!
Also, pre-ordered 10-packs will also be shipped out to our customers before any of the other upcoming multi-packs or singles. You’ll have Scarabus and all of his variant forms & minions before anyone else in your neighborhood!
Please be aware that this is a pre-order, but the figures are currently in production and we expect them to arrive in our warehouse by early June, if not sooner.
