zzz Art KS promo 6 19 2

Our friends over at Creative Beast Studio have launched their second Kickstarter for a new line of high end Dinosaur collectible figures, this time for tri-horned favorites aka Triceratops & his cousins! They are shooting for $150,000 in start up costs, and they already have 43+ as of this writing. Their first line were Raptor based and have done well over the last year or so. From the press release:

Presented in 1/18th scale, each figure will include around 20 points of articulation and with various sizes available depending on species. The initial Kickstarter goal is $150,000 and comprises four figures: Styracosaurus albertensis, Triceratops horridus (sub-adult), Monoclonius crassus (a Kickstarter exclusive), and Zuniceratops christopheri.

…

Those pledging for the Kickstarter exclusive Monoclonius figure are in for a special treat. The package art is an 80s homage created by none other than legendary fine artist Ezra Tucker, one of the original package artists for Tyco’s Dino-Riders toy line! Ezra’s piece will also be available as an 11×17 signed print limited to only 100 copies.

Head on over to the Kickstarter page and back it if you dig it! We’ve attached some pics after the break. We wish the Creative Beast crew good luck!

Star Wars Black Series Hyper Real Darth Vader

Impressive. Most Impressive. Hyper Real is Hasbro’s new take on adult collector action figures. It features a metal skeleton under a seamless silicone body to give us the characters with no visible joints. Coupled with higher end soft goods, attention to detail with the paint, these are upper tier offerings. They are in the 8 inch scale, so they won’t work with existing Star Wars Black Series 6 inch figures. Hasbro sent through a slightly early copy of Darth Vader, their first release in this new format. We’ve run him through the motions and have over 80 images showing off what he can do. Read on for those and some thoughts after the break!

WWE Ghostbusters

Who ya gonna call? WWE Superstars, that’s who! Mattel has mashed up two fan favorites with the WWE Elite Ghostbusters assortment, a Wal-Mart exclusive in the States. The wave features The Rock, Stone Cold, Shawn Michaels and John Cena in full Ghostbusting gear. But, who are they busting? The Undertaker of course, in astral form aka translucent purple plastic. Does this make sense? No, but who cares, it’s silly and awesome.

Each WWE Superstar has a proton pack and clothes resembling the Ghostbusters jumpsuits. Stone Cold and The Rock have full soft goods jumpsuits, while Cena and Michaels take a bit of liberty. Cena has a Ghostbusters wristband, while Michaels has a Ghostbusters hat. Once you remove all that, they have traditional WWE get ups with ecto green highlights. The Undertaker is full translucent head to toe, with a green WWE winged eagle championship belt. He even has ghost tats painted on that see through plastic. I am not a hardcore WWE Elite collector, but on quick glance each figure looks to be a re-use of an existing release.

These are due out soon at Wal-Mart, keep your eyes peeled online and in stores. Read on to check out our photo shoot with over 80 HD shots courtesy of Mattel!

Marvel Legends 80 Retro

Marvel Legends is pumping out more figures than most can handle over the last couple years, so you need to pick your battles and themes and roll with it. This is a good thing. With the MCU in full swing, they haven’t held back the classic comic line ups either. Case in point are several recent releases – the Marvel 80 Years assortments and the Retro X-Men waves. Most of the Marvel 80 Years figures are vintage renditions of the characters. Today’s look include single packed Captain America, Thor and Iron Man along with the Hulk vs. Wolverine 2 pack. There is also a sweet Colossus vs. Juggernaut set floating around which we didn’t pick up yet. If you combine the 3 singles and the Hulk set, you have a really well done classic Avengers core. As these gems are floating around on shelves, the retro X-Men wave has also hit, featuring ToyBiz inspired decos of the X-Men, complete with retro packaging. While all are well done, people are hyped on Storm and Silver Samurai. Storm does not disappoint.

We’ve run them all through a photo session, read on to check out over 50 HD shots courtesy of Hasbro! These guys are out now at select retailers. Hit our sponsors below along with brick and mortar spots and Amazon.

The Batman Versus Joker Dragon Statue stands approximately 34 inches tall and it is a must have for all DC Comics Dark Nights: Metal fans! A great piece to add in your collection with Batman Who Laughs from the same series.
