Boss Fight Studio Announces The Umbrella Academy Action-Figure Line

Expands their licensed action figure to include The Umbrella Academy toys

Norwood, MA, August 5, 2020—Boss Fight Studio, creator of fan-favorite, highly articulated figures announces their latest action figure line, The Umbrella Academy from television studio Universal Content Productions and brokered by UCP’s licensing agency, Striker Entertainment! With characters based on the wildly popular Netflix show, the action figures will feature Boss Fight’s signature multiple articulation points allowing for creative and imaginative poses.

“The Umbrella Academy has long been one of our favorite shows,” says Catrina Arana, Partner and Art Director at Boss Fight Studio, “we love each character and the uniqueness; I’m excited to bring them to action figure form.”

The first wave of figures will include Klaus, Vanya, Diego, and Cha-Cha and is anticipated to hit shelves in Q2 2021. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Boss Fight Studio” says Curtis Matthews, Licensing Executive at Striker Entertainment LLC. “Their signature high articulation and attention to detail will really bring the character personalities forward. The poses and movement possibilities are exciting.”

Launched in 2013, Boss Fight Studio originally brought their fan favorite Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. IP to market, allowing for easy customization and playability of toys. As the company grew, they’ve expanded to host some exciting licenses bringing that same high articulation and attention to detail to fan-loved brands. Umbrella Academy is the latest brand added to the portfolio.

“We can’t wait to excite new fans with these toys. This is our first license with a contemporary show playing as we design. It will be fun to transform the beloved characters along with the story lines on the show” says Arana. “I’ve already started brainstorming how to bring Season 2 characters to life and I can’t wait.”

Power Con 2020 Debut Mythic Legions

Details on the Mythic Legions Power-Con 2020 Debut Figures have been revealed by Four Horsemen. The figures would have debuted this coming weekend at Power-Con, but will now go on sale via Store Horsemen instead. The 6″ scale figures include Dorina Onoris, an homage to She-Ra, and Lord Draguul, and homage to Hordak. These two are part of the Mythic Legions: All-Stars 3 Assortment, and those that pre-ordered the full wave will still receive them when the full wave ships. Check out full details on the release early sales of Dorina Onoris and Lord Draguul below. Check out some images after the jump.

MYTHIC LEGIONS POWER-CON DEBUT FIGURES!!

The amazing Power-Con convention was supposed to have taken place next weekend – August 8th and 9th – but because of the current global pandemic, THE convention for all things related to He-Man and She-Ra had to be cancelled, and the next Power-Con will now take place on September 11th & 12th, 2021.

We already had the wheels in motion to do our annual Power-Con Mythic Legions debut figures at the convention this year, and as some of you might have seen in a cryptic social media post last week, those two figures – the beautiful and brave Dorina Onoris and the vile and despicable Lord Draguul – have arrived in our Megalopolis warehouse.

In honor of our favorite He-Man & She-Ra based convention of all time, we’re going to go ahead and put these two figures up for sale on StoreHorsemen.com next weekend, and their sales will be spread out over both days of what would have been the two days of the Power-Con convention.

The first sale will begin at 2:00pm EST on Saturday, August 8th and will end when the allotment for Saturday is sold out. The second sale will begin at 2:00pm EST on Sunday, August 9th and will end when the allotment for Sunday is sold out. These figures are in stock and will begin shipping soon after the sale, but please allow extra time for shipping to occur due to the restrictions forced upon us by the global pandemic.

Dorina Onoris and Lord Dragull will be in very limited supply and will only be available for sale as a pair (not separately). Only one purchase of the set per customer per day will be allowed. Please be aware that if a second order is placed by the same customer on the same day, all of that customers orders for that day may be cancelled without notice. Everyone – whether you were able to get a set on Saturday or not, will be able to get back into the sale to try your hand at getting one on Sunday, just like is always done at Power-Con.

Some of you may already know that these two figures are included in the upcoming Mythic Legions: All-Stars 3 wave, and if you pre-ordered that wave, you are guaranteed to receive these figures when that wave is officially released. If you choose to try your luck at getting them months before the pre-ordered wave is officially released by ordering them through the Store Horsemen Power-Con debut sale, please be aware in advance that this will most definitely be a hard fought battle and the cost of getting these two figures early will be slightly higher than the normal cost of a standard Mythic Legions figure. Each pair will cost $80.00, plus shipping & handling charges.

We’ll see you next weekend. Good luck and Godspeed.

SH Figuarts Freddie Murcury Live Aid 013

One of the most memorable live performances of all time, for me, was Queen’s set during Live Aid in 1985. During the show, Queen front man Freddie Mercury was at his very best. Kicking the set off with Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie had the massive audience in the palm of his hand. The set also gave way to the oft-memed “Aye-Oh”. If you’ve never seen the full set, it is actually available on Youtube. If you even remotely like Queen, it’s a must watch.

After the huge success of their first S.H. Figuarts Freddie Mercury from their Wembley Stadium performance, it was only a matter of time for Tamashii Nations to release another Freddie Mercury figure. The Live aid Freddie Mercury figure is available from most online retailers now. the 6″ scale figure includes three interchangeable portraits, multiple swap out hands, and two microphones. Our friends at Bluefin have sent the figure over. After the jump, check out a gallery and review for the S.H. Figuarts Live aid Freddie Mercury.
