new hope

Reader Kyle H. from Lawrenceville GA. sends us pictures of his newest Action Stage-Episode III style. Which reminds me, to those of you who are waiting in line right now, save me a spot! I'm on my way. May the Force be with you!

Is it just us or does Neca have some of the coolest action figures out there? Not to mention the fact that they have acquired some of the greatest movie licenses never to see plastic incarnations. The Pirates of the Carribean Jack featured left is almost impossible to find, and Sin City's color variants are just plain awesome. Ghostbusters is my personal favorite. The 1st wave was good, featuring all the monsters, but hopefully the second wave will feature the 'busters themselves. Who doesn't want Peter Venkman on their desk cleaning up the mess? "Come in...Ray"

Will somebody PLEASE make action figures from the Godfather! PLEASE! I just can't figure out why no one has jumped on re-creating some of the most iconic characters in all of movie history. If getting the license is not an issue, then I just don't understand it. Imagine the possiblities, Vito Corleone with his desk and cat accessories. Fredo with fishing boat and false hopes. Michael with his overcoat and Mafia style hat. I could go on for days. And from there you could make a parallel leap to Good Fella's and Sopranos even. If anyone knows any inside info on this please contact us. We'll buy them all !!!

Many people have asked us, "do you know of a good way to keep vintage Star Wars figures in storage without ruining them?" Well our answer is yes. Not only will this solve your problem, but they will look good too.

Thank you Big George! Revenge of the Sith is the first prequel that truly ranks with the greatness of the original trilogy. It links all six movies together in dramatic fashion, and further enriches the Star Wars lore. The question is when you show these movies to your children, which trilogy should you start with? Old School- IV,V,V!, I , II, III, or New I - VI ? Either way the fact of the matter is that for thirty years Star Wars has tattooed our culture with its magic, and has truly become the great mythology of our time. Although it's sad to see it end, Star Wars fans should rejoice. The Force will be with you...always.

Now we're talking! The ultimate pimp gangster in his most recognizable duds. The sheer number of great quotes from Scar Face alone should make you want to buy dis piece a chit! With 10+ points of articulation and a great sculpt, theres not much to complain about here. Mezco has has done a great job with this license so far, and it keeps getting better. This one's called "The Player". Look for "The Fall", which sports mini-Al in his black suit from the famous last scene.

What 80's collection would be complete without Neca's Patrick Bateman from American Psyco? The best part is that he comes with a stand covered in newspaper. Perfect for keeping Paul Allen's guts off the carpet. This is part of Neca's 6" Cult Classics line, series 1. Bateman is joined by Jason Voorhees, Evil Gremlin, and The Crow. Another top notch collection by Neca and Reel Toys

With exquisite color and incredible vision, these mini oil paintings truly capture the essence of the Star Wars galaxy. Painted on a 2X2 piece of copper and mounted in a handcrafted hardwood shadow box, these beautiful oil paintings are unlike anything most of us have seen. They also include wall mounting hardware.

Sometimes two movies are better than one. Enjoy the first installment: "The HobbFather"
