Yesterday Warner Bros announced they had extended their master toy license deal with Mattel. Hardly a surprise with Dark Knight Rises and Man of Steel on the way, but good news for those of us who love Four Horsemen sculpting on DC toys. Speaking of, I sincerely hope the Horsemen will be working on the DKRises Movie [...]
Warner Bros finally announced their new Batman cartoon for 2013, Beware the Batman. Apparently instead of Robin, Batman’s sidekick will be Katana, and the bad guys will include Professor Pyg, Mister Toad, and what looks like maybe Harley Quinn? I agree with most of the comments from Bat-fans: Bruce Timm’s art style does not work [...]
Many fans loved seeing the “Mini-Masters” that were revealed at San Diego Comic Con. What you may not know is that they’re not actually planned by Mattel yet. Like the prototype MOTUC He-Man at the 2007 SDCC and the Battle Ram last year, these were made on spec by the Four Horsemen in the [...]
I’d intended to post this on July 3, which would have been the tenth anniversary of the day I received the email below–but then I completely, utterly forgot. Better late than never! I’ve saved every email I’ve sent and received since 1998. Until recently, most of them were just burned to a disc, but a [...]

Wow, am I late with this thing. Frankly the only reason I’m even doing it is to placate my obsessive-compulsiveness–there must be a PPF for every year, even if it takes me three months into the following year to do it.
The 10-pack of the long, long-awaited Scarabus figure from the Four Horsemen’s FANtastic Exclusive goes up for pre-order this Tuesday. (I own the black/white variants from the Toypocalypse event, and they’re on my long, long list of backlogged reviews.) Looks like the figures themselves will arrive in June. Details after the jump.
(l-r: Poe, H. Eric “Cornboy” Mayse, Joe Amaro, Cornboy’s wife Corinna, and Val “JVS3″ Staples) It’s been over a week now, so I should probably try to wrap up my Toy Fair coverage. We’re getting there! For this post, I’d like to give you a description of my general experience at Toy Fair. This was [...]
