Description
It’s here! TOYCOLLECTR #25 arrives with the exclusive world premiere of the fourth figure in the initial wave of Four Horsemen Studios’ reboot of Skeleton Warriors — the bounty hunter Claw! Claw was originally set to be part of the second year of product produced by Playmates Toys in the mid-1990s, but when the animated series was canceled after just 13 episodes, the toy line died as well. Claw is joined by Bone-Zai (another unreleased character), Aracula and Dr. Cyborn in the Four Horsemen’s initial offerings, which will be open for preorder very soon!
Speaking of Playmates… what do you do when your 60 year old toy company loses the license to make Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys — a property you held dominion over for two-thirds of your corporate life? You tap into the exciting world of LitRPG and license the hottest book series around — Dungeon Crawler Carl! TMNT and Carl may both be mostly subterranean, but that is where the similarities end. Whereas the Turtles were the kid’s line of the last four decades, Carl is decidedly more… ahem, adult. We go in depth and hear what the toy company has planned for its new licensed property.
Additionally, we have an exclusive chat with Mondo sculptor extraordinaire Alex Brewer and talk all about his career… in reverse!
Elsewhere, our pal Mike Drake takes us through the toys of Vought Industries and the recent Propstore auction that included some of the made-up toys of The Seven from Amazon’s popular series The Boys.
All this plus exciting toy news, reviews looking at products from Mondo, Dark Horse and BigBadWorkShop, and much, much more!
