I’m still working on images from Preview Night at San Diego Comic-Con. Here’s some shots of the new line the Four Horsemen announced from Fantastic Exclusive – Symbiotech.

Wow, is it that time already? The biggest pop culture event of the year is upon us, and I’m just not ready for it. Thankfully, the rest of the guys have already covered the bulk of my Most Wanted list, so check out their pre-game shows: Buzzy, Sandman, and Talyn. Here’s some of the upcoming toy lines from my favorite toy companies that somehow didn’t already get mentioned: DC Universe Mez-Itz (Mezco)
As far as I’m concerned, there’s been a hole in the urban vinyl category shaped like a big “DC” – ever since Hasbro took vinyl and brought it to mass market as Mighty Muggs for its Marvel, Star Wars, GI Joe, and Transformers licenses, I’ve been waiting for DC to follow suit. I thought last year we might get a line from Mattel – they had some protos on display for Masters of the Universe and others that never made it to toy shelves. And DC Direct’s Blammoids made it to comic book stores but just aren’t my cup of tea. With DC going with Mez-Itz, I think we’ve finally got a chance for DC urban vinyl for mass market. Mez-Itz has a very pleasing form factor that’s scale compatible with Mighty Muggs. And they’ve got those ball-jointed necks, that make them a superior offering. I can’t wait to pick up the Batman / Joker exclusive, and see what else Mezco has planned. >> Read more about Mezco’s Mez-Itz There’s more… click to continue reading San Diego Comic-Con Most Wanted – SamuRon Events | July 21st, 2010 |
A few weeks back, the Four Horsemen hinted on their Fantastic Exclusive forums that they’d have some news. Today, they shared it with us. Here’s the summary, with the full press release following it:

I’m a little behind on posting this, but at the end of last year (ok, more than just a little behind), the Four Horsemen held a sale on items at their online store, the Store Horsemen. Although I passed on the “swimsuit” variant of Queen Alluxandra, I had put off picking up a Ramathorr for long enough. And while I was there, I couldn’t help but pick up a Chalice of Guudenuph, the Store Horsemen exclusive variant pink elephant.

A: Actually having space to display them! A few months ago I wrote about having to dismantle my “toy room” because we had decided to put in new carpet, and then about getting to put together a new and improved display. This past weekend, I put the finishing touches on some upgrades.

Our friends, the Four Horsemen, are holding a holiday sale starting at the end of today and running through the end of the year. Headlining the sale is a new Seventh Kingdom variant – a Queen Alluxandra repaint in her royal swimsuit. In case you’re gathering clues, the Seventh Kingdom is probably weather-aligned with the southern hemisphere – it’s winter here in the United States, but Alluxandra is shedding layers for the summer heat. Mrow! Be sure to check out http://www.StoreHorsemen.com starting at the end of today!

 7th Kingdom - Helm of Xaanm and Baddathiir - BBTS Exclusives Have I mentioned that I love the Pile of Loot feature at Big Bad Toy Store? It helps offset one of the disadvantages of shopping online – the shipping costs. Pile of loot lets you combine orders to bring your overall shipping costs down, with the added convenience of being able to place your orders separately. The first order in your pile gets the bulk of the shipping costs, but as you add extra items whether it’s that same day or weeks later, you only get charged the incremental shipping. When you can’t wait for your items anymore, you tell BBTS to ship your pile, and start over again. Anyways, I just got my latest pile of loot, and right at the top were Baddathiir and the Helm of Xaanm, the BBTS 7th Kingdom exclusives from this year and last. Since I’m cherry-picking the 7K exclusives again this year, I’ve been reviewing them in drips and drabs as I get them. I got Queen Alluxandra and Isadorra at San Diego Comic-Con and the RTM exclusive Raavia and the Shield of Draumm a couple weeks later. Collection | September 23rd, 2009 |
I know a lot of people have been waiting for the Fwoosh to put Kromius from this year’s Fantastic Exclusive up for order. And, it’s really not my fault that it took so long – at least this time.

A: Actually having space to display them! A couple of days ago, I was lamenting having to move all of the action figures I had, not because we were moving, but because we had decided to install new carpeting. A few of them were on display in a small bookshelf that was mostly filled with books, and the balance were stored in big plastic tubs that I used to call “Staging Area One.” The carpet went in earlier this week, and I’ve been spending the last couple of days setting up the new display.  The new hotness - action figure display We got rid of the old bookshelf and added more shelving cubes. In all, there are forty-nine 1-foot square cubes, and I’ve got figures in thirty-one of them, and extra figures and customizing supplies in fourteen more. I’d guess I’ve got at least five times more display space than I used to. Collection | September 5th, 2009 |
Last week I reviewed Queen Alluxandra and Isadorra, the first two exclusive figures from the Four Horsemen’s Seventh Kingdom line. I picked those up at San Diego Comic-Con, but there’s plenty of variants that are just starting to become available from the various online media and retail outlets that the Four Horseman have been partnering with to bring you this line. This review covers the first one of those variants that I’ve picked up, Raavia the red cat, from Raving Toy Maniac. As a bonus, I also picked up RTM’s Fantastic Exclusive from last year, the Shield of Draumm, the hippo from Ramathorr’s council of guards. Before I get ahead of myself, I want to point out how great it is dealing with Rob and Bobbi, the good folks that run RTM. They put up their order page for Raavia on Monday, and by Thursday I had these figures in my hands. Collection | August 14th, 2009 |
