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:

»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:
https://youtu.be/SDfWMSNQEJc 

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!
https://youtu.be/_pa1KLXuW0Y

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!

»Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle – Part 1: Akaza Returns«, the first of three highly anticipated films in the final »Infinity Castle« trilogy, is finally hitting theaters!
After breaking record after record in Japan, we're eager to see how it will be received here. Expectations are high – and we can't wait to find out what's next for Tanjiro and the other Demon Slayers, especially after the dramatic cliffhanger at the end of Season 4. The film picks up seamlessly from there and marks the beginning of the manga adaptation's final arc. And with two more »Demon Slayer« movies still to come, there's plenty left to look forward to.

Get in the mood with the trailer:

Starting today with a three-episode premiere, »Gen V«, the equally brilliant spin-off of the bloodiest superhero series »The Boys«, is kicking off its second season. Let's recall: the teenage superheroes, the “Guardians of Godolkin” around Marie (Jaz Sinclair), ended up in a closed psychiatric facility at the end of the first season, after discovering how teenagers whose powers were either unusable or unmarketable were being imprisoned and experimented on in the university's basement.

After the on-screen death of Victoria Neuman and Annie January's alias Starlight's escape in the main series, the mood in Vought-America has shifted entirely to Homelander's side, and the fascist-nationalist Superman knock-off has become the state's judge, jury and executioner. Against this backdrop, we find ourselves at the beginning of a new school year that will likely once again be blood-soaked, sex-drenched, and totally messed up. The new dean, Cipher (Hamish Linklater), clearly has no good intentions either. And after Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort in »Wednesday«, he already marks the second unmistakably sinister headmaster we've seen this year.

Sadly, Andre – played by Chance Perdomo, who tragically passed away last year — will not be returning. A truly heavy loss.

Just a little ironic is the fact, that the »The Boys«-series are being streamed through Amazon Prime Video, because Vought is a clear parody of media corporations like Amazon and Disney in today's divided American society.

Better late than never – the Hive has arrived! 👑🖤

Our August postcard had perfect timing… well, almost. We actually wanted to present the alien motif to you for the premiere of »Alien: Earth« on Disney+, but the post office was apparently afraid of Xenomorphs and kept the card in hypersleep for a little too long. 😅

To coincide with the release of episode 7, the prelude to the big season finale next week, we're making up for it now – with this great picture from @lordbobasaurus! 🔥

For the photo, Eugene gathered several NECA Xenomorphs to create a true Hive feeling. Instead of the usual cool tones, he was inspired by the atmosphere of the »Alien³« finale and bathed the scene in warm, threatening colors. The backdrop, by the way, was created by @the.diorama.project, whose dioramas are simply next level.

Many thanks to Eugene for this epic photo – enjoy the final episodes of »Alien: Earth«! 👽🌍

An impressive, most impressive, and fun weekend is behind us (and yes, we can still feel it in our bones): NORIS FORCE CON 7 in Fuerth near Nuremberg was a blast! It was really amazing what Star Wars fans got to experience over the three days at this beautiful event. We'll soon start working on our »On the Road« video to give everyone who missed this great show a little insight. NFC8 will most likely take place in three years – and we'd love to be there again!

To ensure that a very important event for the coming year doesn't get lost in all the hustle and bustle, we want to draw your attention to TOYPLOSION 4 today: Ticket presales started yesterday, as part of the date announcement! TOYPLOSION will take place on Saturday, September 12, 2026, once again in Castrop-Rauxel (in the Europahalle and the adjacent Stadthalle), and once again – unfortunately for our taste – on just one day. Accordingly, the limited number of tickets will likely sell out fast. So hurry up and don't miss the Most Powerful Retro Toyshow! We'll be there as always (at our usual booth in the Europahalle) and are already looking forward to seeing many familiar and hopefully new faces, enchanted by a childhood flashback. :)

Last night, the most important US television awards were presented in Los Angeles at the 77th Emmy Awards. The Apple TV+ production »The Studio« was the huge winner, winning Best Comedy Series. The Hollywood satire won a total of 13 Emmys, setting a new record in the comedy category. Seth Rogen alone earned three Emmys: Best Lead Actor, Co-writer, and Best Director in a Comedy. We think this win was well-deserved, considering how much we held our stomachs with laughter, especially during the two-part finale of the series. Bryan Cranston provided some of those laughs as Griffin Mill, who, much to our delight, also received an Emmy for his guest appearance.

In the Best Drama Series category, the HBO production »The White Lotus« and the Apple TV+ show »Severance« were considered favorites, but the award for Best Drama went to »The Pitt«, an HBO Max hospital drama that unfolds in real time. Since the series isn't airing here yet, we can't comment on it, but the win has piqued our interest. We were pleased, however, that Britt Lower was honored as Best Actress in a Drama Series for her performance in »Severance«, and Mr. Milchick, aka Tramell Tillman, was named Best Supporting Actor.

In the miniseries category, Netflix's »Adolescence« took the lead. It not only won Best Miniseries or Anthology, but also swept all but one of the best acting awards in this category, including 15-year-old Owen Cooper, who is now the youngest male actor ever to win an Emmy Award. The aforementioned exception is (quite rightfully) the award for Best Actress in a Miniseries, as Cristin Milioti delivered a true tour de force as Sofia Falcone in the HBO series »The Penguin«.

As always, there are many productions that we would have wholeheartedly wished an award for. Colin Farrell, for example, as Oswald "Oz" Cobb in »The Penguin« was our favorite among the actors in the miniseries. A writing award went to »Andor« for the episode »Welcome To The Rebellion«, and a directing award went to »Slow Horses« for the episode »Hello Goodbye«. In the dramas, we would have liked to see Pedro Pascal from »The Last Of Us« as the leading man.

Over a year after the first look at Liam Hemsworth in a long, white wig, Netflix released the first teaser for »The Witcher« Season 4 yesterday, in which we finally see the new Geralt in action, fighting a wraith:
https://youtu.be/kQGshAJmdBU
Although we still see Henry Cavill as the Witcher, we'd like to give Hemsworth a chance. We're much more concerned about the writing, which has deviated increasingly from the novels in previous seasons...
By the way, Hemsworth isn't the only new addition to the cast – Laurence Fishburne will also be appearing as the vampire Regis in season 4.

We'll also be dealing with monsters in »Dust Bunny«. In Bryan Fuller's feature film directorial debut, which is set to open in US theaters in December, Mads Mikkelsen plays a hitman on a special mission: He's tasked with killing the monster under the bed of his 8-year-old neighbor (Sophie Sloan), that ate her parents. An imaginative story with a great cast (Sigourney Weaver and David Dastmalchian, among others) – the trailer is getting us excited:

There are some films that are like fine wine. They simply get better with each viewing, even years later. David Fincher's »Se7en« is one such work, which premiered in New York City exactly 30 years ago today.

Veteran detective Somerset (Morgan Freeman), and his impulsive young colleague Mills (Brad Pitt) are on the hunt for a serial killer whose crimes are based on the seven deadly sins.

After the disaster of »Alien 3«, Fincher was fed up with Hollywood and ready to pack his bags. Luckily for us, he was offered the script by Andrew Kevin Walker just in time and was able to demonstrate his incredible sense of style and talent.

»Se7en« is set in a gloomy city where it's constantly raining. Crime scenes that seem like an antechamber to hell. A film like a punch to the gut. The movie set standards at the time and, along with »The Silence of the Lambs« is one of the seminal serial killer thrillers of the 1990s, which has been copied repeatedly and rarely equaled.

Today, the doors of Fürth's Stadthalle are finally opening for the ultimate Star Wars fan event: Noris Force Con! ✨🌌
The charity convention will take place there from September 12th to 14th – and of course, we'll be there as an exhibitor!

Awaiting you at our booth are tons of Star Wars ⭐ figures, statues, and replicas, as well as many collectibles from other franchises. We have something for everyone! And another highlight: On Friday night, we'll be taking over the Panini Comics Stage with our Geek Quiz – put your Star Wars knowledge to the test and show that the Force is with you! 💡🤓

So: grab your lightsabers, hop in the podracer, and head to Fürth! 🚀

Tomorrow, the new part of the crazy looter shooter series »Borderlands« will finally be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Windows! The developer studio Gearbox wants to return to the origin with »Borderlands 4« and make amends for the harsh criticism of the previous game. Both fans and newcomers should get their money's worth with devastating weapons, insane abilities and huge skill trees. You can play the adventure on your own, in split-screen with a partner, or with four players in online co-op with cross-play. As with the previous parts, the rule in »Borderlands 4« is: more players, more chaos, more fun!

Your journey as a Vault Hunter to fame and fortune crosses paths with a ruthless dictator, the Timekeeper. Now you have to win over the forces and factions of the planet Kairos to put an end to tyranny. This usually involves explosions, intense gunfire, pointed remarks and crazy characters. See for yourselves in the story trailer:
https://youtu.be/onY6y4NZ-t4

The manufacturer PureArts' »Borderlands« license is also a welcome addition. Two iconic collectibles are already available for pre-order in our shop: the 1:1 Psycho Bandit Art Mask Life-Size Replica and the Psycho & Claptrap Diorama. We are very excited to see what else is hopefully coming soon. Take a look at all collectibles from the games in our shop:

Will you give »Borderlands 4« a chance?

»The Long Walk« opens in cinemas today. The movie is an adaptation of the novel of the same name, an early work by Stephen King, which was first published in 1979 under his pen name Richard Bachman.

In a dystopian, alternate America ruled by a totalitarian regime, a group of teenagers participates in a deadly annual walking contest. The boys are forced to maintain a minimum pace, otherwise they face execution – until only one survivor remains.

The book was written as an allegory of the Vietnam War, yet the idea of ​​a totalitarian, fascist America is more tangible today than ever.

Francis Lawrence directed the film, having already gathered extensive experience with dystopian youth films through his work on »The Hunger Games«. Screenwriter JT Mollner also made a good impression with his movie »Strange Darling«.

According to critics, two actors in particular stand out: Cooper Hoffman, the son of Philip Seymour Hoffman, who first caught our attention in Paul Thomas Anderson's »Licorice Pizza«, and David Jonsson, who made a name for himself with his role as the android Andy in »Alien: Romulus«. Their friendship forms the heart of the film. Mark Hamill, who plays the nasty, fascist "The Major", also deserves a mention.

Reviews of the work are good, although not rave. A common complaint is that the film, at 108 minutes, is a bit too long. If you've read the novel, don't assume you already know the entire story, because the ending of »The Long Walk« was changed.

As a reminder, here's the final trailer:

The weather is getting cooler, the days shorter. What could be better than a warm bubble bath with rubber duckies? For Ernie, definitely nothing – even if Bert doesn't share his enthusiasm. And don't forget: always bring a flashlight and umbrella 🔦☂️! You never know.

This nostalgic scene was captured for us by Marco, and he got quite creative in the process:
"This photo is a typical example of how I assemble my scenes and combine toy worlds. While two (or three, if you count the rubber ducky) NECA figures serve as the protagonists, the rest of the arrangement consists of a hodgepodge of toys from my stash. The bathtub is from Steffi, the sink from Barbie, the shower from Schleich, the pirate ship from Playmobil, and the toiletries, including the toothbrushes, are from Sylvanian Families. The bathroom wall is a white laminated wooden board that I found on the street sometime ago. The small handheld mirror on the wall originally came from my grandmother's pill bottle. To get Ernie's bath really lathering up, I used foam soap – my absolute insider tip for simulating bath foam in action figure proportions."

If you're looking for even more great, imaginative toy photos, be sure to check out Marco's Instagram account – and send him a happy birthday today! We also wish him all the best! 🥳

You'll find a copy of this wonderful card in every package we send you in September 📦.

We once again have a small selection of new trailers we'd like to present to you:

»The Black Phone« was a highly successful Blumhouse production in 2021. It quickly became clear that the eponymous phone would ring again, which it now does in »Black Phone 2«, coming to theaters this October. The fact that the Grabber was dead at the end of the first film doesn't stop him from returning, and so Ethan Hawke reprises his role as the child murderer. The kids from the first film, played by Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw, are also back and have grown a bit. Whether we're in for another thrilling and scary horror film or whether the Grabber is perhaps just a cash grabber, we can't yet decide based on the second trailer:
https://youtu.be/DdR-gzFZoDk
What do you think?

Episodic storytelling is firmly established in all famous detective stories, from Sherlock Holmes to Hercule Poirot, from Philip Marlowe to Columbo, and this naturally also applies to sleuth Benoit Blanc. And so, mastermind Rian Johnson once again challenges Daniel Craig as the master detective in another star-studded murder mystery. Among the cast are Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, and Cailee Spaeny. The trailer for »Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery« looks like great fun:
https://youtu.be/eHM1K1JByBI
The film will be available on Netflix from December 12th.

Let's stay with Netflix: The streaming provider is continuing its successful »Monster« series about real-life serial killers. After Jeffrey Dahmer and the Menendez brothers, the third season focuses on Ed Gein. His crimes have already inspired horror classics such as »Psycho« and »The Texas Chainsaw Massacre«.
Looking at the poster featuring the chainsaw-wielding Gein, the criticism of the romanticization of serial killers is certainly not entirely misplaced. Voices grew loud especially from those close to the victims, after the first seasons. Season 3 will certainly face the same criticism. »Monster: The Story of Ed Gein« drops on Netflix on October 3rd. Here's the trailer: https://youtu.be/T8FeHSoTHs8

And last but not least, a Netflix miniseries has piqued our interest. »Last Samurai Standing« is a Japanese live-action series adapted from the Japanese manga series of the same name, which in turn is based on a novel by Shogo Imamura.
In 1878, 292 samurai gather for a battle royale, lured by a 100 billion yen prize. The survivor that makes it to Tokyo wins. Shujiro Saga (Jun'ichi Okada) joins the race to save his ailing family. A dangerous game of survival unfolds on the journey.
The first two episodes of the series will premiere at the 30th Busan International Film Festival on September 18, 2025. The six episodes of the series will be available to stream worldwide on Netflix on November 13, 2025. The trailer whets our appetite for flashing katanas:

Twenty years ago yesterday, the stop-motion film »Corpse Bride« premiered at the Venice International Film Festival. The work by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson is based on an ancient Russian legend and has become a modern classic of animated film.

In the Victorian era, the shy Victor is about to marry the wealthy and graceful Victoria. But an unfortunate coincidence throws everything into disarray: Through a mishap, he awakens the mysterious corpse bride, Emily, who falls head over heels in love with him. Now Victor faces a difficult decision: Should he remain in the gray, sober world of the living or choose the surprisingly vibrant and colorful realm of the dead? Torn between his affection for Victoria and his loyalty to the lovable, albeit decayed, Emily, Victor must ultimately let his heart decide...

In the original, Victor and Emily are voiced by Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. 

If you're in the mood for a bit of romantic necrophilia, you can find the film on Netflix – and the matching collectibles in our shop!

Twenty-five years ago today, Christopher Nolan's »Memento« premiered at the Venice International Film Festival. With his second feature film, Nolan made his first major statement and made it unmistakably clear that he's a filmmaker to be reckoned with in the future.

The protagonist, Leonard, played by Guy Pearce, and his wife Natalie are attacked by burglars in their home. Natalie is raped and murdered. Leonard manages to overpower and kill one intruder, but is knocked down by the second man, suffering a severe head injury and, as a result, anterograde amnesia. From this point on, his short-term memory is destroyed. He is unable to form new memories. Everything that happens to him will be forgotten within minutes.

Leonard wants to find his wife's murderer. He creates a memory system of notes and Polaroids. He has everything that seems particularly important to him tattooed on his skin.

The film's highlight is its structure. There are two narrative threads: One, shot in black and white, moves forward chronologically, while the second reverses the order of the scenes. It begins at the end and tells the story backwards.

The whole thing is more than just a formal gimmick, because we as viewers are placed in Leonard's shoes. Like him, we know nothing about the past and what events led to the current situation. Who is the person opposite him, can he trust them? The whole thing is incredibly suspenseful, constantly twisting our brains. We know the other characters, like John Edward "Teddy" Gammell (Joe Pantoliano) or Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss), from future scenes, and we have to put everything we learn about the past into the correct order.

Mick remembers: "When I first saw »Memento«, I was incredibly impressed by its asynchronous narrative. I saw the film with two friends, and afterward, we went to our local pub for a few beers, and spent half the night discussing it. I've seen many great works since then, but hardly any film experience has thrilled and captivated me as much as »Memento«. I've put the movie on my rewatch list for this weekend.The DVD, by the way, contains a gimmick that allows you to play the scenes in chronological order."

»Welcome to Derry« is just around the corner. Starting October 26th, Pennywise will once again instill fear in us. But long before Bill Skarsgård's portrayal in the series and the two »It« films, another Pennywise was already causing trouble. Of course, we're talking about Tim Curry in the 1990 two-part TV series. His portrayal of the character garnered enormous popularity among the coulrophobic community back then.

We've been longing for a 1/6 scale Pennywise based on Tim Curry's performance for a long time, until Sideshow finally answered our plea. The horror clown has also moved into Mick's house and has been terrifying the children's figures in his collection ever since. He tells you his opinion on this collectible in the Action Figure District:

»The Conjuring: Last Rites« opens in theaters today. Mick took the opportunity to watch it at a preview screening last night. Here's his take on the film:

When »The Conjuring« hit theaters in 2013, it was a real breath of fresh air for the classic haunted house subgenre. Australian director James Wan demonstrated a keen sense of timing and effective jump scares. The movie became a huge hit and launched its own franchise with sequels and spin-offs featuring horror characters like »Annabelle« and »The Nun«. »The Conjuring 2« also directed by Wan, maintained the high quality and perhaps even surpassed it. »The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It« however, disappointed me across the board.

My expectations for »The Conjuring: Last Rites« weren't particularly high, largely due to the fact that it was directed by Michael Chaves. He had previously delivered films such as the aforementioned third part of the series, as well as »The Curse of La Llorona«, and »The Nun II«, which must be considered among the weakest works in the franchise. »The Conjuring: Last Rites« is his best work to date, but still falls far short of the first two films.

The story consists of two narrative strands. The first focuses entirely on the Warrens and begins with a flashback to the day their daughter Judy was born. The main part of the action then takes place in 1986. The Warrens have largely withdrawn from the demon-hunting business and only occasionally give lectures. Judy has grown into a young woman. Like her mother Lorraine, she has a gift for perceiving the paranormal and has recently been increasingly plagued by disturbing visions. We also meet her boyfriend Tony Spera, who accompanies Judy to Ed's birthday party.

The second story focuses on the case of the eight-member Smurl family, who have been confronted with increasingly frightening apparitions in their house for some time.

The two narrative threads only come together relatively late. At 136 minutes, the film is simply far too long. I realized that I had little interest in the Warrens' family life, even though the actors, especially Vera Farmiga as Lorraine Warren and Mia Tomlinson as Judy, give it their all. Patrick Wilson remains somewhat lackluster as Ed Warren. Newcomer Ben Hardy, as Tony Spera, knows how to enrich the story with his acting. There are a few truly beautiful emotional family moments here and there, but I didn't find it particularly gripping. Judy's visions, which primarily provide the impetus for a few jump scares, often seem a bit random, for example, when good old Annabelle is once again called upon to provide some scares.

The events at the Smurl house are a bit more exciting, although unfortunately everything remained very superficial, and I couldn't really connect with the characters. The ghost and demon story is simply too bland and interchangeable. What the film clearly lacks is a worthy final enemy, like the demon Valak. I could see all of the jump scares coming from a mile away. I had more fun watching other moviegoers jump in my immediate vicinity.

So the whole thing turns into a ghost train ride that unfortunately lasts far too long, but doesn't offer anything new narratively. The main story arc is also predictable from the start. Aside from its jump scares, the film doesn't have much to offer, and so it bored me for long stretches. A small highlight was a nice scene with many cameos towards the end.

This year, in particular, has once again demonstrated how creatively the horror genre can be used with a multitude of films – »Sinners«, »The Ugly Stepsister«, »Bring Her Back«, »Weapons«, »Together«, just to name a few. In comparison, the fourth »Conjuring« film seems a bit dated. Even though »The Conjuring« was fresh in 2013 and jump scares weren't quite as worn out, repeating the formula in 2025 no longer appeals to me.

Don't get me wrong, »The Conjuring: Last Rites« isn't a bad movie, and the actors' performances are also impressive. Vera Farmiga and Mia Tomlinson really give it their all, but it just couldn't captivate me. However, if you enjoy ghost train rides and being scared by loud noises in the cinema, you can definitely have a fun experience – I've even heard people enthusiastically responding to the film.

By now, we're used to having to wait several years for a new season or sequel. »28 Years Later«, which drew horror fans to theaters this year, was also a late sequel – coming out 18 and 23 years, respectively, after its post-apocalyptic predecessors »28 Weeks Later« (2007) and »28 Days Later« (2002). It's all the more gratifying that we won't have to wait long for the next film in the series. »28 Years Later: The Bone Temple« will be released on the big screen in January, 2026! And just a few hours ago, we got a first taste:
https://youtu.be/EOwTdTZA8D8

The extremely atmospheric trailer has a similar pull to the preview for »28 Years Later« and is really making us want to see the film! We'll be sitting in the cinema in early 2026 to watch director Nia DaCosta continue the story. »28 Years Later: The Bone Temple« is the second installment in a planned sequel trilogy written by Alex Garland – hopefully, part 3, again directed by Danny Boyle, won't be too long in coming either!
