Last Chance to Pre-Order Masters of the Universe Classics Castle Grayskull and Buy the Holiday Gift Paks

Maybe you weren’t ready to make the commitment back when the outcome was uncertain. But Castle Grayskull *is* getting made, and the pre-orders close out Friday morning at 9AM PST. It’s a new year, so can you commit now? Worry not, if you still can’t pull the trigger on Castle Grayskull now, you’ll get the chance late in the year when it actually is available for sale – that is, if our good friend Logistics doesn’t have anything to say about it.

All-new Castle Grayskull to be released in 2013 as long as we hit our minimum production goal.

If you do pre-order now, though, you’ll save $50 or more (day of sales were said to be at least $300), you’ll get an awesome poster, and you’ll also get to vote on who appears in the Rudy Obrero artwork for the packaging. Did I mention the $50?

Also closing out at the same time tomorrow – the MOTUC and Ghostbusters Holiday Gift Paks comprised of stuff that has been languishing in the Digital River warehouse. If you don’t buy them now, next stop, Walmart?

Hot Toys Announces G.I. Joe Retaliation Snake Eyes

I’m in trouble – Hot Toys just announced a 12-inch Snake Eyes figure. Sure, it’s a movie figure for Retaliation, but it’s mother-effin Snake Eyes. The first movie left me only lukewarm – it didn’t quite immortalize the Joes, and the Snake Eyes costume, with its molded lips on the mask, left a lot to be desired. But the costume redesign, and how it looks on this figure, has raised the bar.

I still don’t have high expectations for the G.I. JOE Retaliation sequel, but I must have this Snake Eyes figure for my toy shelf.

Masters of the Universe Classics Granamyr Still Available, But Not For Long

If you are on the fence on the ginormous Masters of the Universe Classics dragon, Granymyr is still available from the December sale – but for how long we’re not sure. Toy Guru says this is your last chance:

Oh, and since I know everyone likes updates, Granamyr is going awesome. He is still in stock but looks to be on the way to selling out. We’re getting the final shipment in so all orders should now be going out as the come in. Thanks for supporting this one! And no, no word right now on a green repaint. If you are passing on the current one to wait for a repaint, that really isn’t in the cards. He is selling out, but not at the rate that would justify a redeco due to the high price point and low quota. This is pretty much THE Granamyr we’ll be making right now.

You can order him at the Granamyr™ Figure page on MattyCollector. Folks who did order and have received theirs are reporting great paint and sculpt, but suggest some caution during assembly of the arms. I still haven’t put in an order – I think it’s an incredible piece, and the artwork by Rudy Obrero is a bonus, but I honestly have no place to put him.

Mezco Toyz Lands the Breaking Bad License

Just in time for the second half of the the final season, Mezco has announced it will be making action figures and other collectibles for Breaking Bad.

Fans of Walter White and the Breaking Bad supporting cast should find a good fit with Mezco. Vince Gilligan has said that his intent in creating the series was to turn White from Mr. Chips into Scarface. Mez produced a popular series of Scarface collectibles over the past few years.
