ThreeA Toys Adventure Kartel Removalists Zomb 2-Pack One Hour Sale on 12/6

Given that this upcoming 3A Toys release is limited to one hour, I double-checked the start time with a fancy world clock calculator. The Adventure Kartel Removalists 2-pack goes on sale on Thursday, 12/6, at 8PM EST. I’m planning on splitting a set with someone, but not before switching the shirts and shoes to get a black and white mix. Depending on the cost, I might pick up another set just for the pure black and white experience.

Some conspiracy theorists are saying the window to buy is limited just to drum up more business – the idea is that 3A collectors have already been inundated with Zombs. I don’t know about you, but I still need more Zombs to bolster my collection.

You can pick these up at the Bambaland Store – remember, 12/6 at 8PM EST. Good luck!

Matty Posts Awesome Masters of the Universe Classics Artwork

Mattel has posted some awesome artwork over the past few days promoting its Masters of the Universe Classics line. The first two pieces were featured at the MOTU Art Show during New York Toy Fair – they’re the Heroic and Evil Warriors by Joe Ng and Espen Grundetjern. Rudy Obrero is responsible for the Granymyr packaging art. I can’t wait to see his new work for the upcoming Castle Grayskull.

And hopefully you haven’t missed the Fwoosh’s First Look at MOTUC Ram Man!

Geoff Beckett of GBJR Toys Wants You to Save Indie Spotlight – Should You?

An old proverb suggests that “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again.” Geoff Beckett of GBJR Toys has certainly taken that to heart. He’s now on his third effort to utilize crowd funding to bring toys to the market. The current campaign to “Save Indie Spotlight” is on GoFundMe with a target of $20K, to be used to “produce a new run of the Series2 Indie Spotlight action figure line.” If the campaign hits $30K, Beckett says he will produce an exclusive online campaign version of the Maxx as one of the campaign rewards. The campaign has been open for over 3 weeks, and in that time it’s managed to raise over $700.

The current line-up for Indie Spotlight Series 2 consists of two versions of Dick Tracy, the Tick, Ignacia from Wildguard, and King Zombie from Deadworld. It omits Jack Staff, who was originally shown in with this line-up back in 2009. The Weird World of Jack Staff Facebook page, which has creator Paul Grist as the contact, claims that the GBJR / Shocker Toys license for Jack Staff expired a few years ago.

Beckett’s two previous crowd funding campaigns from earlier this year did not meet their funding goals. The first campaign was for a line extension of DIY Plush Mallows. It was promoted on Kickstarter this past September, but missed its $9,850 target, raising only $583. The second campaign was taken down prematurely by Indiegogo. GBJR Toys claimed on its Facebook page that it was a victim of malicious lies from multiple sites, including TheFwoosh.com (full disclosure: I am part of the staff at the Fwoosh).

Hot Toys Announces Terminator 2: Judgment Day Battle-Damaged T-800

I have the original Hot Toys T-800 and felt bad about missing the 2.0 version that has a slightly improved head sculpt, PERS, and an awesome gatling gun. Now Hot Toys follows that up with this battle-damaged version – two head sculpts (both with poseable eyes!) and enough battle damaged parts to recreate the whole final battle. And, yeah, a statue of the T-1000 – they’re seriously upping the ante for those of us who have a T-800 already.
