Halloween may be over, but there’s still plenty of horror to be had.
For instance, here’s some rather bumming news from Diamond Select: according to their latest edition of Ask DST, they haven’t secured the likeness rights to Bela Lugosi. However, they’re still going to do a Dracula figure…just without any specific actor’s likeness. (more…)
1.) You recently announced that the Winston w/ Slime Blower was delayed. Is there any chance the delay is because you’re adding the “football pads” part of his outfit?
He is delayed to make him more accurate to the film. He will have the full vest and pads when released. (more…)

Happy Halloween, all! To celebrate the day, Spy Monkey Creations sends in this exclusive pic of their newest exclusive. It doesn’t have a name yet, but as you can see, it’s a giant hammer. (Note: this is NOT the new PGPoA exclusive.) (more…)
A fan on He-Man.org recently suggested a repainted Roboto hand for Trap Jaw, and I think that would be a neat idea for the next weapons pack. It’s not a popular one, though. Which I don’t really understand–what’s the harm? The next weapons pack is going to be a bunch of repainted accessories anyway, and the more options I have for Trap Jaw, the better. I think the mock-up gives him a certain Darth Vader-ish vibe.
Anyway, I created a few mock-up pics, just for fun.

The throne there is from Marvel Select’s Mephisto figure, and has gotten way more play than Mephisto over the years.
I’ll be announcing the PGPoA-designed Spy Monkey Creations exclusive in the very near future, but before that, I thought it might be fun to let you guys take a guess as to what it will be. The winner gets a free one! (more…)

I made a guest appearance on the most recent episode of He-Man.org‘s Roast Gooble Dinner podcast. You can listen to it at the link below, or get it from Itunes (if it’s not up yet, it should be within the hour).
The big reason for my going on was to discuss the Gygor bio.
I didn’t get quite as many submissions as I’d hope for my Matty Masquerade contest, but I suppose that’s what happens when you require more than just a comment. Nonetheless, there were definitely some fun entries.
First off, Honorable Mention goes to cartoonist Bill White, who hails from my own native Massachusetts South Shore. While Bill’s piece is excellent, it doesn’t quite follow the rules as I’d intended them (you could redraw Matty’s face, but I didn’t mean to say you could draw an entire scene around him; I’m sure more people would have done that, given the option). Nonetheless, it deserves to be appreciated, so I hereby present Bill’s strip for your approval:
Be sure to visit Bill’s website for many more cartoons.
Now, the official runners-up. (more…)
