Tomorrow we're celebrating another milestone film anniversary. It's been exactly 40 years since Stuart Gordon's »Re-Animator«, based on a short story by H. P. Lovecraft, hit US theaters on October 18, 1985. In Germany, it was only released on VHS in 1988 and was banned until July 2013, but that didn't stop the film from achieving cult status.

When Kaustic Plastik and Infinite Statue & Collectibles showed their first Re-Animator collectibles at this year's San Diego Comic Con, we took the opportunity to re-watch the film. And what can we say: it's still so much fun!

Jeffrey Combs as the obsessed Dr. Herbert West, who wants to defeat death with his bilious green serum, delivers a performance that's to die for. And the rest of the cast, including Bruce Abbott as West's roommate and involuntary accomplice Dr. Daniel Cain, Barbara Crampton as Cain's girlfriend Megan Halsey, and, last but not least, David Gale as the selfish Dr. Carl Hill, deliver an outstanding ensemble performance.

This horror comedy, with plenty of gore and some lovely disgusting effects, draws its humor primarily from its absurdity and works just as well today as it did 40 years ago. You can currently find the full movie on YouTube:

Dr. Herbert West as a Plus Format Statue in 1/4 scale from Infinite is already listed for pre-order in our shop:

And: we might see an update of the two 1/6 scale figures of Dr. Herbert West and Dr. Carl Hill at Lucca Comics & Games just in time for Halloween!

»Good Fortune« opens in cinemas today. Keanu Reeves plays the well-meaning, but naive and rather incompetent angel Gabriel. As such, he occupies a rather subordinate position, as his ridiculously small wings give away. His job is to prevent drivers from using their cell phones behind the wheel. But Gabriel wants more and oversteps his authority by interfering in the lives of Arj and Jeff. Arj (played by Aziz Ansari, who also wrote and directed the movie) is a struggling gig worker, while his boss, the wealthy tech millionaire Jeff (played by Seth Rogen), lives in luxury. To show Arj, that money won't solve all of his issues, he has the two swap roles …

Here's the trailer:
https://youtu.be/ZKWndx83RwQ

With a critics' rating of 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, the film is doing quite well. We're also looking forward to seeing Keanu Reeves in a comedy again after a lot of »John Wick« action. Looks like this could be an enjoyable evening at the movies!

Autumn is here! Mist drifts through the forests, leaves rustle underfoot, and golden rays of sunlight break through the canopy. 🍁🍂
But be careful – dangerous creatures lurk in the thicket ...

Timo ventured in anyway to capture an epic scene: Krieger the Shunned defeats the Savage Lemurian! ⚔️
The Savage Crucible action figures from Harvinger Studios are perfect for dark fantasy adventures. As a fan from the very beginning, Timo grabbed his collection and staged an impressive photo series among moss and roots.

That's why everyone we're sending a package to in October gets a copy of this great postcard on top. 📦
And for the Savage Crucible collectors among you, we've got an exclusive treat: Anyone who orders figures from this series worth at least €150 in our shop will also receive the strictly limited »Savage Legions of the Universe« comic by Timo – only while supplies last, of course!

So: Check out these amazing figures – and be sure to visit Timo's account as well!

Last week, from October 9th to 12th, New York Comic Con took place at the Javits Center in Manhattan. Alongside stars, artists, and cosplayers – and of course, visitors – there were plenty of collectibles. There was a lot to see, especially in terms of action figures from Hasbro, Tamashii Nations, Mezco Toyz, NECA, Mondo, and other manufacturers, even though brand-new reveals were sparse.

What excited us most was the newly introduced »Masters of the Universe« 1/12 scale line, of which Mondo showed the next two characters in New York, Skeletor and Man-At-Arms, following the 200X He-Man and Clawful. It's simply impressive what Mondo is able to achieve with this scale! We hope they don't make a mistake with their distribution strategy and give us retailers worldwide access to these great MOTU figures. Be sure to keep an eye on our shop! The first, unpainted 1/6 scale prototype of Goliath (»Gargoyles«) was also on display at the Mondo booth – really cool!

We honestly expected a bigger buzz around The Loyal Subjects' M.A.S.K. lineup. Wave 1 was on display, but during this ongoing dry spell since Toy Fair earlier this year, the Wave 2 vehicles (Hurricane, Jackhammer, Piranha, Gator) would have been great guests at the booth. Unfortunately, we only got a post from TLS on Instagram on #MASKMonday, the day after NYCC.

Hasbro, as always, scored points with its flagship series Star Wars and Marvel Legends. A completely new and very surprising lineup of action figures and matching Light Cycles for »Tron«, specifically for the first film from 1982 and the sequel »Tron: Legacy«. As it appears, however, these new releases will be distributed exclusively through Hasbro Pulse.

Another regular among the manufacturers at NYCC is NECA. The lineup was similar to that at SDCC – as always, there were tons of Turtles scurrying around the booth, horror fans were well catered for, and the Ben Cooper theme, which seems to be popular in the US, continues to draw focus. One highlight we found particularly worth mentioning: The popular Sesame Street Ultimate series continues! Sherlock Hemlock and his dog Watson were shown here for the first time.

Of course, we could only give you a brief overview of our highlights here. If you want to see extensive photo galleries from the convention or browse other new releases, we recommend Toyark:

Enjoy the virtual tour!

Today we have two trailers for you for series that definitely score with humor and likable antiheroes.


»Wonder Man«

The world needs a new Marvel hero! Luckily, Simon and Trevor are auditioning for the role. While they prepare for the casting, let's enjoy the trailer for the new series »Wonder Man«, which will be available on Disney+ starting January 28, 2026. Check it out:
https://youtu.be/lgoxHC7WF9w

Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) sees a life-changing opportunity when director Von Kovak (Zlatko Burić) plans a remake of the superhero film »Wonder Man«. He immediately auditions for the role of the protagonist and end up at Von Kovak's mansion with his friend Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley) and other candidates. You can cheer on the characters for 8 episodes as they try to reinvent the superhero genre.

What's your opinion on this somewhat different Marvel series?


»The Mighty Nein«

On November 19, it's finally time: The »Dungeons & Dragons« story of Critical Role, a team of voice actors, goes into the next round with »The Mighty Nein« on Prime Video. A few days ago, the streaming provider released the trailer for the new animated series. While »The Legend of Vox Machina« deals with the first season of Critical Role's web series, we meet the heroes of the second season in »The Mighty Nein«. In any case, the trailer clearly conveys the group's crazy vibe:
https://youtu.be/Ri2wNyvSpiY

A group of outsiders must band together despite their different backgrounds and fates when a mysterious relic falls into the wrong hands. As the characters are just learning to find their place in their role, they become unwitting participants in a war. Their growing unity and development of their skills will soon determine the future of the entire realm.

If you are fans of the »Critical Role« stories, you should definitely check out our shop. You will find some statues from Sideshow for both »Vox Machina« and »Mighty Nein«. Have fun browsing!

We're really excited for the second series from this universe!

We bid farewell to Diane Keaton, who passed away in California on October 11, 2025, at the age of 79. The American actress appeared in over 70 films during her long career.

She began her stage career in 1968 with an appearance in the Broadway production of the musical »Hair«. The following year, she received a Tony Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Play for her performance in Woody Allen's »Play It Again, Sam«. She became known worldwide for her first major film role as Kay Adams in Francis Ford Coppola's »The Godfather« (1972) alongside Al Pacino, which she reprised in the sequels »The Godfather Part II« (1974) and »The Godfather Part III« (1990).

The films that most shaped her career were those with director and co-star Woody Allen, with whom she had also been in a relationship for a while. After the film adaptation of »Play It Again, Sam« (1972), she established herself as a comedian with »Sleeper« (1973) and »Love and Death« (1975). Her fourth film with Woody Allen, »Annie Hall« (1977), earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress. Furthermore, her androgynous look as the titular character in this film made her a frequently imitated style icon. One of her greatest successes came in 1996 in the film »The First Wives Club« alongside Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn.

Diane Keaton is remembered as a headstrong personality. She started her family by adopting two children. She didn't need a man for that. She also always defied Hollywood's beauty obsession and wore her wrinkles with pride and dignity. A great actress has left the spotlight forever – Farewell, Annie!

The first trailer for »A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms« is here! HBO is launching the second prequel series to »Game of Thrones« – and it takes place right between the original series and »House of the Dragon«. It is based on George R. R. Martin's trilogy »Tales of Dunk and Egg« and tells the story of the titular knight, Ser Duncan "Dunk" the Tall, and his squire, Egg. »A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms« will premiere on HBO Max on January 18th. The first of the six episodes will likely air internationally on Sky around the same time.

The trailer really whets our appetite for the series and immediately strikes a different, somewhat lighter and more humorous tone than what we're used to from, for example, »House of the Dragon«:

Today, two games are being released that couldn't be more different from each other, yet both have their legitimate hype in their respective genres.

»Battlefield 6«
One of them is the award-winning shooter series »Battlefield«, which continues with a new part for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Windows. With the preceding open beta for »Battlefield 6«, the developers have clearly shown that they want to make up for the mistakes they made with »Battlefield 2042«. The numbers speak volumes and even broke a Steam record: Over 520,000 players rushed into battle at the same time. In total, almost 92 million game hours have been played during the Open Beta weekends, although the game is only officially released today. Check out the trailer:
https://youtu.be/nMBBXqu0OLE

»Little Nightmares III«
Less action-packed, but dark and atmospheric instead is »Little Nightmares III«. The co-op adventure is coming to PlayStation 4 & 5, Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, Xbox Series, and Windows. In online co-op for two or alone with an AI partner, you search for a way out of Nowhere. In this game, you take on the roles of Low and Alone. As Alone fights her way through the darkness with her wrench and technical talent, Low proves useful as an archer. Mystery, secrets, and an exciting story await you. See for yourselves:
https://youtu.be/Qj7mv95LbFU

It's been 15 years since the visually stunning »Tron: Legacy« continued – and reignited – the legend of the 1980s computer program universe. Back then, a sequel was announced almost immediately after the films release. Instead, fans had to make do with a handful of video games and an animated series. Now, at long last, the wait is over – »Tron: Ares«, directed by Joachim Rønning (»Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales«), is finally hitting theaters.

In »Tron: Legacy«, humanity narrowly avoided the programs' escape into the real world. But now, ENCOM's biggest rival, Dillinger Systems, has weaponized these digital entities and discovered a way to bring them into the human world, if only for a short time. Leading the charge is the malware known as Ares (Jared Leto), whose ambitions reach far beyond those of Dillinger Systems' CEO, Julian Dillinger (Evan Peters).
What's particularly interesting this time around is how the concept of the previous films has been flipped on its head. Instead of a human hero diving into the Grid to stop an evil program, the focus now shifts to the software, which now breaks free from the Grid and steps into our world as the central figure of the story.

Visually, the 3rd part once again delivers at the highest level: neon lights, mirrors, light reflections, everything a cyberpunk fan could dream of. And of course, we're all looking forward to the soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails. Unfortunately, early reviews have been mixed when it comes to story and acting. It's a shame, really – Jared Leto, who once delivered iconic performances in »Dallas Buyers Club« and »Requiem for a Dream«, has in the past decade, since »Suicide Squad« and »Morbius« at the latest, shifted from being a mark of quality to a red flag. Not exactly a good omen for next year's »Masters of the Universe« ...

Still, we're looking forward to seeing »Tron: Ares«. After all, deep philosophical dialogue was never what this franchise was about. It's the hypnotic pull of its imposing cyberpunk imagery – made for massive cinema screens – that defines it, and it stands as a welcome counterpoint to the growing trend of films designed primarily for smartphone streaming.
So: Anyone planning a trip to the cinema this weekend? We're also super excited to see, whether Hot Toys will follow up their 1/6 Scale Ares, that premiered at Wonder Festival Shanghai, with other collectibles for this sequel ...

On October 2nd and 3rd, the WONDER FESTIVAL took place again in Shanghai. When it comes to collectibles, this is one of the world's largest exhibitions. Every major name in the world of statues and action figures was represented there. QUEEN STUDIOS & INART, HOT TOYS, PRIME 1, INFINITY STUDIO, PUREARTS, and many others – including plenty of exhibitors we'd never heard of. Are you familiar with 52 TOYS, APEX TOYS, REAL ON REAL, or BEAR PANDA? Have you ever heard of ATOMPUNK-STUDIO or THREE ARTISAN STUDIO? There was a lot to discover, and it was pure sensory overload!

Some manufacturers like HOT TOYS or QUEEN STUDIOS & INART released their own material. But much of it could only be seen in countless walk-through videos. Some added narration or were clever enough to include the manufacturer's logos or labels on the figures, but some purely gave us impressions. Did the camera just glide over some POPCOSTUME 1/6 scale figures? Who are these tattooed Yakuza ladies, and what scale are they? Sometimes a bit of detective work helped, sometimes we had to guess or were completely in the dark.

But first, let's look at the usual suspects. We were deeply impressed by the QUEEN STUDIOS & INART booth. The video produced by QS gives a good impression:
https://youtu.be/CEjnOrNlWfc
Life-size statues and busts – you can't get more high-end than that! Gandalf and the Fourth Sister statue, both 1/3 scale, are also impressive. A great surprise is the license for »The Terminator«. Here, INART showcased the first work-in-progress prototypes. The Terminator with sunglasses, battle-damaged, and the endoskeleton. Christopher Reeve's »Superman« also looks amazing in the iconic transformation scene. From »The Walking Dead«, Daryl Dixon joins Rick and Neegan and completes the trio. We also found Albus Dumbledore from »Harry Potter« particularly appealing.

From PRIME 1, the »Silent Hill 2« statues were among our highlights. INFINITY STUDIO also plays in the upper weight class. We were enchanted by the Harley Quinn bust, the large Saruman bust, and the magnificent Galadriel statue. The new »Angel Force« series, featuring modern Amazons in real fabric clothing and in 1/3 scale also has its charm.

HOT TOYS showcased many of their recently announced figures, but premiered Higgs from »Death Stranding 2« and Ares from the film »Tron: Ares«, which is hitting theaters this week. Not on our radar until now was the manufacturer ROCKET TOYS, which is dedicated to the »Naruto Shippuden« anime, and is rivaling THREEZERO in the field of 1/6 anime figures.

Now a few words about all the new discoveries at the festival: 52 TOYS has licenses for »Alien« and »Predator«. Among other things, there were unpainted prototypes of a female Predator and an Engineer from »Prometheus«. Under the REAL ON REAL label, anime-inspired, realistic 1/5 statues with fabric costumes were presented – very pretty! In general, there were many anime beauties, some with slightly exaggerated proportions that involuntarily make us think of back pain and herniated discs. We also admired the alluring collectibles from manufacturers like BEAR PANDA and PG. The latter particularly impressed with their presentation with great dioramas. A huge diorama-like statue from »One Piece« was presented by JIMEI PALACE, although their female pirate was our personal highlight. There were even more beautiful collectibles from THREE ARTISAN STUDIO, JO MATAL, LIGHTYEAR STUDIO, and ATOMPUNK-STUDIO. Another elaborate statue, albeit unpainted, is sure to impress all »Dragon Ball« fans.

These are, of course, just a few highlights of the gigantic event. As you've probably noticed, the photo tiles in our image follow this text. The walk-through videos from Virtual Devil (French) and Tang Brick Studio (no narration) provide a pretty good impression of the WONDER FESTIVAL. As for all the newly discovered manufacturers, we'll be keeping an eye on them to ensure that some of these highlights find their way into our shop.

Last weekend, the manufacturer PRIME 1 STUDIO released the 15th edition of its prestigious online event, the Next Level Showcase, under the title »Journeys through Realms«:
https://youtu.be/i6hAXo_n-Io

As usual, the Japanese studio takes its viewers on a journey through fantastic worlds filled with high-end collectibles – whether from dark video games, epic movie scenes, or iconic anime universes.

As seen in the latest episode, several exciting pre-order highlights from Prime 1 are still to come this year. The showcase is clearly dominated by the gaming section. Among the most exciting new additions are certainly the statues from »Silent Hill 2«, »DOOM: The Dark Ages«, and »God of War Ragnarök«. The 1/4 scale statues of James Sunderland, Pyramid Head, and the iconic Bubble Head Nurse (available in three variants) capture the gloomy atmosphere of the psychological survival horror classic »Silent Hill 2« in a truly impressive way. No less striking – and significantly more brutal – are the statues of the Doom Slayer and the terrifying Imp Stalker, also in the same scale. More powerful than ever, and presented in a majestic 1/3 scale, we're looking forward to "Master Thyself Kratos" and "Young Kratos" on their legendary thrones – two sublime representations of the beloved character, based on »God of War Ragnarök« and part of the epic "Throne Legacy Collection".

As always, manga and anime fans weren't left out in the Next Level Showcase either. Extravagant premium statues from titles like »KILL la KILL«, »Evangelion«, and of course »Berserk« undoubtedly delivered some real wow moments during the roughly 90-minute presentation.

But let's dive straight into our personal favorites from the latest showcase. The moment we laid eyes on "Jake Sully & The Great Leonopteryx" and "Neytiri & Thanator" – two 1/4 scale statues staged with incredible elegance and flawless attention to detail – we were left speechless. It's great to see Prime 1 dedicating the "Avatar Legacy Collection" to this modern classic, especially with Avatar 3 on the horizon. Fresh from a bloody battle and striking a bold yet seductive pose atop a throne made from the remains of her enemies, the warrior Red Sonja reveals herself in all her glory. "Long Live the Queen" is the theme of this breathtaking 1/3 scale statue that sent social media into a frenzy over the weekend. Her fierce and stunning presence has been captured with jaw-dropping realism, and quite honestly, we're blown away. This creative interpretation was inspired by a fantastic artwork by artist Ian MacDonald. Red Sonja will be made available in our shop for pre-order in the course of this week.

Another iconic female comic character deserves a mention. Although this statue was originally revealed during the previous Next Level Showcase, it has now been significantly reworked and updated: Catwoman in a 1/3 scale statue, based on the »Batman: Hush« comics. Prime 1 has taken things up a notch by upgrading this piece to a "Real Elite Masterline" statue. Not only did Catwoman receive a new color scheme for her costume, but the entire base has been redesigned, and most notably, the head sculpts have been massively improved. The eyes, the skin texture, the hair – this is truly "Next Level". Wow!

All in all, the 15th edition of the Next Level Showcase was once again an impressive presentation packed with highlights and exciting new reveals. Prime 1 Studio is keeping up the pace in delivering high-quality collectibles for fans of all genres, which of course have their price - and need their space ;). As always, keep an eye on our shop – we'll list all the latest releases as soon as they're available for pre-order...

Martial arts dramas have a long and successful tradition. From »Bloodsport«, »Karate Kid« and »Rocky« to »The Fighter«, »Creed« and »Million Dollar Baby« – audiences love it when fists fly in the ring while the deepest emotions and most vulnerable moments of these athletes are laid bare. Even better, when those intimate moments are based on true events.

Benny Safdie – who, together with his brother, made a name for himself as the co-director of »Uncut Gems« and who has recently appeared as an actor in »Oppenheimer« and »Obi-Wan Kenobi« – has now directed his first solo feature »The Smashing Machine«, casting Dwayne »The Rock« Johnson as opioid-addicted wrestling and mixed martial arts star Mark Kerr in his most vulnerable role to date. Critics say the film is essentially the opposite of what one would expect from a wrestling movie starring Johnson: here, the focus is on the human being, not the machine. Emily Blunt also receives praise for her performance as Kerr's girlfriend Dawn Staples. Their relationship and the vicious cycle of pain and painkillers form the emotional core of the story.

For MMA and wrestling fans, »The Smashing Machine« is an absolute must-see. Watch the trailer for the A24 release, which is hitting cinemas right now:
https://youtu.be/aRpnP3LZ99g

Also a must-see: the wrestling section in our shop!

Today, Sony is celebrating the release of »Ghost of Yōtei«, the sequel to the successful game »Ghost of Tsushima«, exclusively for PlayStation 5. Regarding the story, both parts are independent of each other. You don't have to have spent hours playing the previous game to be able to dive into the story of the protagonist Atsu. Nevertheless, the developer studio Sucker Punch picks up right where they left off with »Ghost of Tsushima« in terms of attention to detail and fun gameplay: a beautifully designed open world, dynamic combat, and a deep story.

About 329 years after the events of the first game, the story begins in 1603 on the Japanese island of Hokkaidō, then known as Ezo. Mercenary Atsu is consumed by an unrelenting thirst for revenge after the "Yōtei Six" murdered her family and left her for dead. Therefore, she slips into the role of the "Ghost", an Onryō or vengeful spirit, to finally get rid of her enemies - one by one. Enjoy the trailer for a thrilling glimpse of »Ghost of Yōtei«:
https://youtu.be/sLcksHR30UA

We can hardly wait to dive into old Japan!

Every now and then, there comes a film we all find ourselves feverishly anticipating – the kind where every trailer is devoured, analyzed, and spun into countless theories. »Frankenstein« from scaretale-grandmaster Guillermo del Toro (»Pan's Labyrinth«), is exactly that kind of film. Now, four months after the first one, the second trailer has finally arrived.
https://youtu.be/8aulMPhE12g

While the initial teaser featured the voice of Oscar Isaac's Victor Frankenstein, now we hear Jacob Elordi for the first time as the Creature. And what a voice-over it is: eloquent, charismatic, almost hypnotic. At the same time, the imagery makes clear just how unstoppable and powerful the wretched being really is. This means we are actually getting the version of the Creature as Mary Shelley described him in her novel – a true Caliban: highly intelligent, articulate, towering, possessing superhuman strength … and above all, despite his scars, beautiful.

In just over a month, the wait will be over: following the stop-motion »Pinocchio«, the Netflix/del Toro collaboration enters its next chapter. What awaits us is a visually spellbinding dark fairy-tale epic, starring not only Isaac and Elordi but also Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, Charles Dance, and Christoph Waltz.

In the year 1922, »Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror« hit the cinemas of the Weimar Republic. It was directed by the brilliant Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau. The film is an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel »Dracula«. Screenwriter Henrik Galeen altered a few details of the plot, changed the locations, and invented new names for the characters. Thus, the aristocratic Count Dracula became the rat-like Count Orlok, played by the theater actor Max Schreck.

Bram Stoker's widow, was not amused, took the case to court, won, and subsequently ordered the destruction of all copies of the film. Fortunately for all of us, a few copies had already made it abroad and were beyond legal recourse. Thus, one of the greatest works of German Expressionism was preserved for us.

Count Orlok became one of the first icons of horror. His tall, gaunt figure, pointed ears, rodent incisors, and spider-esque fingers with claw-like nails make him seem barely human. He is a solitary creature of the night, as tragic as he is sinister.

This unmistakable appearance is just as terrifying today as it was 100 years ago. It's echoed not only in remakes starring Klaus Kinski or Doug Jones, or in the reinterpretation featuring Bill Skarsgård by Robert Eggers, released in December of 2024. He's also an appearance that practically cries out for collectibles and has now amassed a well-stocked gallery of action figures, busts, and statues.

A major highlight for us was the fantastic 1/6 scale collectible figure from Kaustic Plastik and Infinite Statue & Collectibles, which was released to celebrate the 100th anniversary of this classic. The winning team of the two Italian manufacturers once again contributes its combined expertise and now presents Count Orlok as a Plus Format statue. It's the first work in this line, in which legendary characters are immortalized as statues made of resin with PVC heads in a 1:4 scale, with film-accurate, hand-sewn costumes, presented on an artfully designed base.

The horror fans in our crew were already thrilled, but everyone else was quickly won over by this work and unanimously voted Count Orlok our 💥 Product of the Month 💥 for Shocktober 2025.

We can't get enough of the details in this portrait. The precise modeling and the congenial paintwork, complemented by woolly hair for his eyebrows and behind his ears, bring the undead to life. The accurately modeled bony, veined hands with terrifying fingernails are a work of art in themselves. The statue is limited to 180 pieces worldwide and is beautifully enhanced by a base in a catacomb design with stone arches, bones, skulls, and rats, reminding us of the horror of the plague that came to Wisborg with Nosferatu.

Yesterday, Disney gave us the final trailer for »Zootopia 2«! The sequel to the 2016 animated hit is set to be released in theaters in late November.

After uncovering a conspiracy in the first film, Judy the Rabbit and Nick the Fox are now officially working as a team for the Zootopia Police Department – ​​albeit with a rocky start. When a snake appears in the city of mammals, chaos erupts... and Judy and Nick get the chance to prove themselves. But to do so, they must delve into a completely new, hidden world.
Watch the trailer here:
https://youtu.be/5AwtptT8X8k

We're excited to see how the detective duo will solve the case and are looking forward to a great animated film that's guaranteed fun for the whole family!

This week is going to be bloody and darkly humorous, because with »The Toxic Avenger« and »One Battle After Another« probably the most absurd must-see films of the year are hitting our big screens!

In the remake of the cult trash classic »The Toxic Avenger«, Peter Dinklage takes on the role of Winston Gooze, who becomes a deformed vigilante after an accident involving toxic waste. The film blends splatter horror, superhero satire, and social commentary with explosive action. Along the way, the toxic anthropomorphic blob faces bizarre villains – played by none other than Kevin Bacon and Elijah Wood. Director Macon Blair stays true to the anarchic spirit of the original, relying on practical effects and exaggeration to celebrate the over-the-top elements of the splatter genre. This is going to be a hell of a ride!
By the way, you can still get the Ultimate Toxie by Super7 from the 1984 original in our shop:
https://www.space-figuren.de/Filme/Atomic-Hero/Ultimate-Toxie-The-Toxic-Avenger::27527.html

Although the second film, »One Battle After Another«, seems to take a completely different path, it has quite a lot in common with »The Toxic Avenger«. Here too, a divided society forces Bob Ferguson, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, to become a reluctant avenger. Brutal action collides with philosophical questions about the necessity of extremist movements and personal responsibility in politically troubled times. Critics are already calling this action satire based on the novel »Vineland« by Thomas Pynchon Paul Thomas Anderson's most important film to date.

Are you planning to watch one of these films – or maybe even both – in the cinema? If so, we wish you an insanely good time!

»Silent Hill f« lives up to that motto. With this work, developer studio NeoBards and publisher KONAMI give us a visual treat that crawls under your skin in many ways. The new game in the popular franchise is all about Japanese horror and focuses on beauty so perfect that it makes you feel extreme discomfort. The game is released today for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows.

The story is set in the 1960s in Japan. Shimizu Hinako lives in the remote town of Ebisugaoka, which is suddenly devoured by thick fog. Grotesque monsters appear, and Hinako must face them to avoid falling prey to the horror. However, there seems to be more than she sees at first glance. Check out the story trailer:
https://youtu.be/KWKLv3osnsA

In »Silent Hill f« shocking monstrosities await the player, that send shivers down your spine. But surely you also still remember the classic »Silent Hill« creatures. In our shop you can find the 1/6 Scale Bubble Head Nurse from »Silent Hill 2« by the manufacturer Iconiq Studios - creepy!
https://www.space-figuren.de/Games/Silent-Hill/1-6-Scale-Bubble-Head-Nurse-Silent-Hill-2::24834.html?language=en

Do you think you're tough enough for the new »Silent Hill« game? 😜

Over the past few days, we've once again been spoiled with a whole bunch of goodies from the trailer world: a brand-new trailer for the long-awaited magician sequel »Now You See Me: Now You Don't«, the heavenly comedy »Good Fortune« starring Keanu Reeves, and the mystery thriller series »Lazarus« with Bill Nighy and Sam Claflin – but we especially want to take a closer look at the following three previews:

»The Bride!«
When it was announced that Maggie Gyllenhaal would be directing a musical based on the horror classic, our skepticism and curiosity were about equally high. But once the cast was revealed, expectations skyrocketed: Christian Bale as Frankenstein's Monster? SIGN ME UP! Jessie Buckley in the titular role? HELL YEAH! And we have to say: the first trailer now released looks damn good. It kind of feels like what we were actually hoping for from »Joker: Folie à Deux« – mad, dark, and deeply tragic. The Prohibition-era 1930s setting is also a brilliant choice and gives the film a strong film noir character. We're excited! Too bad we didn't get a taste of the music yet – that could make or break the movie. Here's the trailer:
https://youtu.be/LJraZRHhFwQ

»It: Welcome to Derry«
We're staying in the horror genre: starting October 26, we're getting the first of three announced seasons of the prequel series to the »It« movies on HBO Max. The trailer shows the classic conflict of a small American town in the 1960s, when a Black family moves into a white neighborhood – but then the mood quickly shifts into pure terror. Already, it feels much darker than the two feature films, and of course we also get a brief but scary glimpse of Bill Skarsgård in his iconic role as Pennywise. Stephen King fans are also treated to a fun mystery, since the mention of Shawshank Prison raises the question: does this series take place in the same universe as »The Shawshank Redemption«? See for yourselves:

»Robin Hood«
Finally, MGM+ gives us the first full-length trailer for the series »Robin Hood«, with Sean Bean as the Sheriff of Nottingham – which probably means (no spoilers, but still) we're in for yet another Sean Bean onscreen death. Unlike the fantasy flop from 2018, this interpretation of the outlaw legend seems to lean more towards the classic historical drama tone, and that just works perfectly for the material. Authentic medieval epics without wizards and dragons have become a rarity, and we're definitely feeling that sword-and-sandal – or rather bow-and-hood – nostalgia. Watch the epic trailer here:

By the way, another darker take on the legend, »The Death of Robin Hood«, is also in the works. This time Hugh Jackman is set to play the outlaw, with Bill Skarsgård also involved.

It's finally here: the first teaser for »The Mandalorian and Grogu«, the feature film based on the now legendary Mandalorian series about Din Djarin and Din Grogu!

As befits a teaser, not much is revealed about the story yet. But the sound, the atmosphere, the humor, and especially the visual effects make us MEGA excited to see the two title characters again... and Sigourney Weaver, among others! Here we finally see the sci-fi icon in her new role. We can hardly wait to be in the theater next May!
