Since it’s an industry show, Toy Fair typically isn’t a time that you’d normally be picking up new action figures for your collection – it’s the time you’ll be seeing and hearing about the toys that you will be picking up later in the year.

But at Toypocalypse, the Four Horsemen have made available 100 sets of an exclusive Dark and Light variant set of their upcoming Gothitropolis Scarabus figure. They’re available for $50 each (so, $100 for a set of the black and white figures), and come in resealable packaging. I didn’t get the chance to find out what will be different about the 100 sets that will be available through storehorsemen.com after the show, but one thing that got my attention on the sets from the show are the black and white scarabs on the front of the package.

I haven’t been able to bring myself to open them yet. I mean – right now they’re so pristine! I’ll need some convincing… Leave a comment below.

What an awesome way to start off Toy Fair – with Toypocalypse, an art show held at Toy Tokyo, featuring 10 years of action figure goodness from the Four Horsemen. The show opened tonight and will run through next Thursday, but I felt compelled to go tonight, before the craziness of Toy Fair began.

The show space was packed full of 4H fans – but the really overwhelming part was just seeing all the toys that the 4H have had a big hand in getting to our shelves. One section of the show space was dedicated to a “making of” section for the next figure that will be gracing our shelves – the Fantastic Exclusive Gothitropolis Scarabus.
