Check it out: Hot Toys Maleficent

By

        Hot Toys has released the images for their 1/6 scale Maleficent figure based on Angelina Jolie's performance of the character in this year's summer blockbuster of the same name.  Find more images, a potential price, our thoughts, and where to pre-order after the break....












      Expect this magical figure to retail for around $225, although Hot Toys has yet to release an official price.  This is one of the best sculpts Hot Toys has done this year they really captured Jolie's portrayal of the character spot on rather than just making a straight forward Maleficent 1/6 scale figure which would have been easy to do here.  As I look at this figure I think it would be a great gift for young girls across the world that their parents will never buy due to the price point.  Again these Disney figures have shelf warmed in Side Show and Hot Toys warehouses for months at a time, so I don't understand the continued focus on a line like this as you delay lines that are guaranteed sales like Back to the Future or Batman Returns.  Look for this figure to be up for pre-order very soon at Side Show and BBTS!

     As Skeletor said in the 1987 film Masters of the Universe , "Everything comes to he who waits, and I have waited so very long for this moment." Yes, after one year of preorders, waiting, concepts and preproduction pieces, constant changes, small victories, crushing defeats, and sheer anticipation, Castle Grayskull has finally arrived to my home. Earlier this afternoon my wife texted me a picture of the enormous box sitting in our kitchen and I've been jazzed ever since. Heck, I've been singing the Castle Grayskull song all week now to help myself pass the time. Before I even open the box, I have to say that while there have been plenty of ups and downs on the journey from having Castle Grayskull exist simply as a sketch on paper to existing as an actual product delivered to my door, I think there are some folks that need to be commended. First, regardless of all other issues I don't think anyone can say that Scott Neitlich ("ToyGuru") and the Fo

The Night He Came Home Again! - A 'Halloween 2018' Review

By

When we first learned that Director: David Gordon Green would be talking over the iconic Halloween franchise, my thoughts could best be described as skeptical at best.  How was the guy that brought us Pineapple Express going to bring Michael Myers home again? Also where did Danny McrBride fit it in? Would Blumhouse and Green do the un-thinkable by allowing McBride to dawn the mask, and having the world famous physical comedian wield who knows what as his weapon of choice? Find out the answer to these, and many other questions after the break in our Halloween review....
