Review > Metaluna Mutant (Universal Monsters, Diamond Select) w/ Sculptor’s Commentary
Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, Universal Studios built their reputation on horror films. The “canonical” Universal Monsters are Dracula, Frankenstein(‘s Monster), the Wolf Man, the Mummy, and the Gillman from Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Interview > Diamond Select’s Zach Oat on Battle Beasts
One of the most talked-about toy lines of this year is Diamond Select’s Battle Beasts. There’s been a lot of speculation about this line, how it came to be and where it’s going, but the buzz is growing: a new comic book from IDW based on the property is already in stores. I got in touch [...]
More SDCC Highlights
As we wait for the Mattycollector panel to start, I thought I’d post a few more thoughts on the various SDCC reveals. Keldor looks much better with the twin swords.

Anyway, I came away loving the film’s take on the Hulk, which made me wonder which action figure [...]
Battle Beasts Cont’d – Takara Beast Fight Revealed [UPDATE: Preorder at BBS]
While Diamond Select moves forward with their new take on Battle Beasts, TakaraTomy is indeed bringing back the original Beastformers as, at least according to one site, “Takara Beast Fight.” Go here to see the pics of the various figures. It appears to have some sort of dice game element, which makes a lot of [...]
What Battle Beasts Rights Does Diamond Select Have?
Phil Reed over at Battlegrip speculates on the specific rights Diamond Select Toys has to Battle Beasts. I actually discussed this on PGPoA way back in 2009, and even then it was rumored DST only had the trademark on the brand name, not the creature designs (or the rub-sign feature). It seems obvious TakaraTomy (the [...]
