Blitzway Jimi Hendrix 006

Collectible company Blitzway has announced a new figure based on the legendary Jimi Hendrix. In the 1960’s, rock and roll music really began to find it’s footing, bringing a whole host of now iconic musicians onto the scene. One of the most influential was Jimi Hendrix. His career and his life were cut short when he passed away in September 1970. However, his immense talent saw him become one of the most celebrated musicians on the 20th century. Jimi Hendrix could play a guitar like no one else at the time (and is still considered one of the greatest to ever play). Songs like Purple Haze and Foxy Lady still get regular rotations on many classic and modern rock stations.

The upcoming Jimi Hendrix 1/6 Scale Figure from Blitzway stands about 12″ tall, and features a fabric outfit, as well as rooted hair. The figure includes multiple interchangeable hands, a guitar, a busted guitar piece, a microphone stand, two necklaces, and a figure stand. Blitzway is also offering his iconic hat as an early pre-order bonus. The figure is priced at $289, and is scheduled for release in the Fourth Quarter. Check out photos and details after the jump.

In a newsletter update, Chronicle Collectibles has announced that they will be launching a Kickstarter campaign in the near future. The Kickstarter will be for their Jurassic Park and Jurassic World 1/12 Scale Figures. We got a look at the prototypes for those back at Toy Fair 2020. There’s no specific date listed at this time. But they did share a small Q&A. Check that out below, and see a new image of the Raptor “Blue” after the jump. We’ll update with further details as they become available.

Jurassic World 1:12 articulated figures coming to Kickstarter!

A licensed exploration of scaled, articulated dinosaurs and characters from the Jurassic World Franchise. Subscribe to be the first to know when we launch our Jurassic World 1:12 articulated figures Kickstarter campaign!

Why are these figures going to Kickstarter?
We’re trying something new! Chronicle Collectibles owes our existence to our community of fans and collectors. We haven’t needed to crowdfund a collectible statue, prop replica, or figure before. However, we have big plans for our 1:12 TrueScale line of Jurassic World franchise figures and want to be sure everyone hears about them. So, we’re headed to Kickstarter soon!

When will the Kickstarter begin?
As of now, we don’t have a set date, as we are waiting on asset approvals and final prototypes. However, we are hoping to launch this campaign, which is 65 million years in the making, during this summer blockbuster season!

What scale and size are these figures?
These figures are 1:12 scale. Our TrueScale Blue Velociraptor stands approximately 6 inches tall and is approximately 12 inches long.

What are TrueScale figures?
TrueScale figures are designed to be to as close to their on-screen counterpart in height and proportions as we can make them. Meaning these collectibles are true to the character. Collectors can rest assured that when Dr. Alan Grant is displayed next to Dr. Ian Malcom that our favorite chaotician will indeed be taller.

That sounds cool, but what if I want to buy something right now?
We have good news for Jurassic Park and pop culture fans! Chronicle Collectibles has a wide variety of offerings that are available right now on our web store. Take a look to see what is in stock for purchase, or jump in on a pre-order for one of our limited edition collectibles.

spawn 625 ks

McFarlane Toys sent out an update on their recently completed and extremely funded Spawn Remastered Kickstarter.  We get a first look at the grey test shot of the Artist Proof version, which in the end will actually be similar to this in final look.  This is the proof of the proof so to speak.  Things of note – the soft tosro with joint underneath looks to still be in place.  The sculpted torso twist is still present.  Chains are there, but a bit large for scale.  Weapons are sculpted, and extra hands are present.  All in all it looks to be coming along and they said they are on schedule.  Read on to check the pics and a note from Todd McFarlane about it all!

Extreme Sets Dojo 2

Time to take a look at another Extreme Sets Pop Up Diorama – The Dojo 2.  Their first Dojo set was solid, a perfect set with inspiration from classic Bruce Lee movies.  This version takes those same themes and expands them into a more detailed & unique option.   It comes with 5 panels, a floor, and a 3D emblem hanging between posts.  There is a custom dragon logo on all panels, with an overall tone of yellow and red.  Banners hang around the top of each wall, with traditional Asian paneling below.  Overall it gets the job done with a bit more color and detail, a great option for our martial arts figures.

This is in stock now over at Extreme-Sets.com along with the other Multiverse Wave 8 sets.  We’ll be looking at some more from wave 8 soon too!  Read on to check out the Dojo though courtesy of Extreme Sets!
