I’m very excited that the Four Horsemen have been able to jump start production on Gothitropolis. Scarabus looks great, but I’d like to find out what’s going on with the Gothitropolis variants, as there were a couple of pretty cool ones that were in the works.

The winning character of the 2008 FANtastic Exclusive vote, and the main character from the Four Horsemen’s property – Gothitropolis has finally gone into production! SCARABUS APPROACHES!

We received the first tooled samples last week, as you can see from the photos below, they look spectacular!

As production moves along, we should have a better idea of when the figures will be finished and ready to ship, but we expect to have things ready to go around the beginning of 2011.

Check out the images below, and be sure to drop by the new Gothitropolis section of the FANtastic Exclusive message boards to discuss the evil that is Scarabus!!

A shot of Scarabus with his evil little minions, the TIME KEEPERS! The Time Keepers are available RIGHT NOW through our very own online retail outlet, Store Horsemen!

And this final shot shows Scarabus hanging out with some already produced characters from the Four Horsemen’s property, 7th Kingdom. From Scarabus’ right are Xetheus, Queen Alluxandra, Scarabus (with Time Keeper) and the mighty Ramathorr! Ramathorr & Queen Alluxandra are still available through our online retail outlet, Store Horsemen!

Masters of the Universe Classics Chief Carnivus

I have come to dread the months that Sandman doesn’t pick up the Masters of the Universe Classics figure(s), because it comes to me take the pictures for AFP. And honestly, with MatthewK producing awesome shots each month, including yet another new custom diorama for Chief Carnivus, I’m at quite a loss for what to do that he hasn’t covered. But I’ll give it a shot.

Four Horsemen Friday – Studio Tour

The Four Horsemen started a new regular feature yesterday – Four Horsemen Fridays. For the first FHF, they kicked it off with a tour of the Four Horsemen Studio. I get to the East Coast a few times a year, and hope to one day take the tour in person.

Beginning today, every Friday, unless some more important event arises, we’re going to give you an insiders look at the goings on at Four Horsemen Studios! Whether it be a sneak peek at some new work that’s being done, a section of the Four Horsemen studio tour, a glimpse at some of the equipment and materials we use day to day, or possibly just what’s on the menu for Taco Bell Friday that week.

For this first, inaugural Four Horsemen Friday we thought we’d give you a brief tour at some of the larger areas of the studio, and even a shot of some top-secret work being done!

In this first shot, you’re standing just outside of one of the two main entrances to Four Horsemen Studios. As you can see, this entrance leads into the large machine portion of our studio. Yeah, we know – the place is a little messy. When you’ve got as much work as we have to do right now. Things’re gonna’ get like that. I think we need to hire a maid. I wonder if the cleaning crew we used to use when we were still at McFarlane Toys is available? The first of the two machines shown here are the lathe (on the right) which is used to turn down cylindrical or round parts like articulation points for the figures or the barrel of a character’s gun. The second machine (to the left) is the vertical mill which can be used for LOTS of different fabricating applications. We’ll show you some shots of these babies in action on a future Four Horsemen Friday. We keep these two machines in a separate room from the rest of the studio because they’re very noisy and they can produce a lot of dust – not conducive to sculpting in a wax based clay. You can just make out a doorway to the far left. This is the entrance to the main area of the studio. We’ll show you more of that at another time.

Be sure to visit the Four Horsemen’s website for the rest of the tour!
