Last Chance to Get the Transforming Collections Toy Reference Book

Philip Reed is a great guy and I’m glad to have backed his Kickstarter project for Transforming Collections – a reference book for third party Transformers, which was succesfully funded at the end of September. If you missed out on that campaign and are still interested in the book, Philip is now taking pre-orders. I think there will be just one printing of the book, so get your pre-order for Transforming Collections in now. It will close when the book is ready to go to print, sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Transforming Collections Pre-Orders Now Open

As Transforming Collections — my book designed as an introduction to third party Transformers toys and accessories — comes together it is time to start accepting pre-orders for the 48-page full-color hardcover. You can check the Kickstarter project page for more information on the book.

I’m pushing to send the book to print this month and then it’s five to six weeks for the proofing and printing process. Books might ship before the end of 2012, but all books pre-ordered here will ship after the Kickstarter supporters’ copies so it’s likely books will not ship until 2013.

A single copy is $24.95 + shipping and handling charges (international runs about $40 total with shipping). The plan is to use bubble envelopes to help protect the books in shipment. Pre-orders will remain open until the book is sent to print and then it will be too late to pre-order a copy. Pre-ordered books do not include the Kickstarter bonuses.

Rock the Vote for Masters of the Universe Classics Castle Grayskull Box Art

Election Day may be over in the US, but for Masters of the Universe fans, a new campaign is just beginning. No, it’s not the push for pre-orders for Castle Grayskull, although I expect we will see some of that as we close out the final week of pre-orders (at least to hit the minimum to proceed). This vote is about which heroes and villains should appear on the box art for the castle.

Jay and Iron Man

It’s been one month since my brother passed away, at far too young an age. I’m in the Philippines with my parents, and this morning we went to the parish where my parents have a small crypt for my dad’s father and stepmother and my mom’s mother (more on my Lola some other time). Jay will share his final resting place with them.

Marvel Select Barbarian Hulk and Storm Press Pics

Diamond Select Toys is tempting me with their pics of the upcoming Barbarian Hulk and Storm figures.

I’m not sure where Barbarian Hulk is from in the comics, but the combination of those two words could produce some pretty kick ass stories. I’ve resigned myself that DST will be forever hamstrung by the articulation limits, so I don’t count that against this Hulk – but I do think his head might have turned out a bit too small in production.
