Four Horsemen Announce More Details on Toypocalypse and Exclusive Scarabus Set

Limited to only 200 sets, the ultra-exclusive set of two Scarabus figures (Scarabi?), dubbed the “Dark and Light Talisman” set, will be available at Toypocalypse and then on storehorsemen.com. I think the $100 price tag will give some collectors pause, and I wonder just how many people who pick this up will actually open them up.

Scarabus figures to be debuted and sold in celebration of the Toypocalypse: A Four Horsemen Retrospective gallery show!

If you’ve been following the news surrounding the Four Horsemens first gallery show, Toypocalypse, then you probably know that they’re going to be selling black and white versions of their character Scarabus at the event.

Even though the Four Horsemen expect these special edition sets to sell out quickly, you’re not going to be completely out of luck if you cant make it to the show!

The Dark Talisman Scarabus & Light Talisman Scarabus figure sets will be available at the Toypocalypse show at the TT Underground Gallery, beginning the evening of February 11th, for $100.00 per set and will be limited to only 100 sets for sale at TT Underground!

Then, the following week – to celebrate the closing of Toypocalypse – beginning at 9:00pm EST, on February 18th, the Four Horsemen will begin selling another 100 sets of Dark Talisman Scarabus & Light Talisman Scarabus through their online retail outlet, Store Horsemen, also priced at $100.00 per set – plus shipping. These sets will be virtually the same as the sets that are to be sold at the Toypocalypse event, with a slight, albeit significant, packaging alteration to be unveiled at a later date.

threeA Toys WWRp Noir de Plume

Right on the heels of his Red Under the Bed review, guest reviewer moldie13 is back – this time with a review of the Noir de Plume from the World War Robot portable line from threeA Toys. His previous AFP reviews include the WWR Heavy Bramble MK 2.5 Gravedigger and the WWRp Armstrongs.

The threeA deliveries have been insane as of late – it seems like every week since Christmas has been Christmas all over again. A little bit of threeA history – it takes quite a bit of time from the point at which toy orders are placed to the time toys are recieved, as threeA tends to make quantities to order. It’s a challenge for us collectors eager to have these things in our twitchy little obsessive compulsive hands. As I mentioned in the “Red Under the Bed” review, we’re talking nearly a year from the time the order was placed to the time the orders were finally in-hand, though that was a pretty severe case. It’s an issue threeA admits to and is trying to correct – though, admirably, they refuse to compromise quality for quickness. And unlike other small toy companies, they do actually deliver on their promises, and aside from personal nit-picks in regards to certain articulation elements, I have yet to be fully disappointed in an order.

About a week ago, I opened my door to find a small, relatively thin package shoved under my doormat. I hadn’t expected it, but I knew what it was instantly – the WWRp (World War Robot “portable”) Noir de Plume.

Tomorrow King Classics !

More details soon !
One thing, Wasabi comes with an RPG ! BANG !!!

3A Toys has been busily posting pics of more goodness coming our way. It’s mostly 1/6 scale figures, but I hope I’ll see some of this transition to 1/12 in the WWRp and Action Portable lines, like the Action Portable Tomorrow Kings pictured with that severed Baka head. I will want (but probably won’t be able to afford) and army of WWRp Grunts, if they ever make it to the 6-inch scale.

Stay tuned for some more WWRp goodness tomorrow as we double up on Noir de Plume reviews.

Fantastic Exclusive Gothitropolis Scarabus 2-Up Recap

I hadn’t realized it, but the Four Horsemen have completed another round of Scary Shots, so it’s time for another recap – this time around they showed us the painted 2-ups for each of the variants, including the limited variants that will be available next month at their Toypocalypse show.

Looking at all of them, I’m having a hard time picking a favorite color scheme. I don’t have the space to get them all, so I may have to choose based on “theme” – right now I’m thinking about sticking to the ones that are more aligned with the Egyptian theme, meaning Scarabus, Anubos, Horos, and Thothos.
