04.08.2022 • BATGIRL - A LEGEND
Many fans have been eagerly awaiting the new DC superhero film »Batgirl« on HBO Max later this year. With a production cost of more than 90 million dollars, directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (»Ms. Marvel« and »Bad Boys for Life«), Michael Keaton (the one and only Batman) and Leslie Grace (the first Latina to play Batgirl) it already had some potential ... But »Batgirl« will neither run on the streaming platforms nor at cinemas!
After the film had already finished shooting, David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, decided to scrap »Batgirl« completely and focus more on blockbusters in the cinema.
There is a lot of speculation about the reasons: the test audience was probably rather disappointed and did not give a sufficiently good rating and the production costs of the film are too expensive for streaming and too cheap for the cinema. So in the end it was decided to leave »Batgirl« in the closet and write off the roughly 90 million dollars as a tax loss. "Variety" reports from insider knowledge that a way was found to save a large sum in taxes related to the founding of the new company "Warner Bros. Discovery" by completely writing off the film. This probably only works if the company is newly established and the film may never be shown.
Even if no one will be able to watch »Batgirl«, it has already made history - as one of the most expensive abandoned film projects of all time!

03.08.2022 • SAMARITAN
Finally also Sylvester Stallone makes his debut as a superhero! Actually, he already had a small appearance in »Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2«, but now we can see him outside of Marvel and DC in the movie »Samaritan«.
Sly plays Joe Smith, a disaffected old garbage man. Only the thirteen-year-old boy from next door Sam (Javon 'Wanna' Walton) suspects that behind Smith is the superhero Stanley Kominski aka Samaritan, who was believed dead. With crime on the rise and the city on the brink of chaos, Sam makes it his mission to lure his neighbor out in order to save the city from collapse ...
As the antagonist Cyrus we meet Pilou Asbæk, who is well known to us as Euron Greyjoy from the HBO series »Game of Thrones«.
Even if the synopsis isn't exactly bursting with originality, the trailer convinces with finest action and good chemistry between Sly and his young co-star.
The film was originally supposed to hit cinemas at the end of 2020, but as is so often the case, Corana thwarted the plan. Initially postponed, the film now finds its place exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, where it can be viewed from August 26, 2022. Here's a little appetizer:

02.08.2022 • BREAKING ... SO DAMN GOOD, FROM SIXTH SCALE TO LIFE-SIZE!
Last weekend, a very special happening took place in Albuquerque, the capital of the US state of New Mexico and the home of »Breaking Bad« and of course »Better Call Saul« ...
Vince Gilligan, the mastermind behind the two incredibly terrific TV series, visited the city's mayor along with several cast and crew members to hand over a first-class gift:
In collaboration with SONY, Gilligan had made a life-size bronze statue of Heisenberg and Pinkman. It is intended to express the gratitude and appreciation for the many years of support from the city and residents and to be a symbol of this outstanding series for both the city and of course all fans. No surprise that the statue was unveiled and presented to the world by none other than Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul themselves. The hilarious yet emotional spectacle was broadcasted live on YouTube by local station One Albuquerque Media GOV-TV 16. Be sure to check it out - if only because of the sayings by Walter White (who is currently suffering from a lot of hair growth)!
https://youtu.be/ZSphSoZRdQA
However, the wonderful making of this statue has a very exciting background - especially for us collectors of action-figures. Because do you actually know who sculpted this impressive piece? It was none other than the incredibly talented Trevor Grove. We all probably have at least one collectible at home that came from Trevor's magic hands. Manufacturers such as NECA, Tweeterhead, HCG, Mondo and Sideshow have been working with him for a wide variety of projects and formats for years.
Trevor seems to like the 1:6 scale very much - and since he was a »Breaking Bad« fan from the very beginning, he modeled a few 1/6 Heisenberg heads more than 10 years ago - primarily for himself. Just for fun and out of passion. Because the heads and custom figures were going through the roof online due to their high quality, the showrunners naturally also became aware of them. Producer Melissa Bernstein contacted Trevor - and the rest is history ... or the result is now cast in life-size bronze in Albuquerque!
Isn't that a dreamlike story? Our heartiest congratulations to Trevor on this achievement and the incredibly good work! One more reason to book your next USA trip soon, with New Mexico as the main destination!
But before that, we're all going home very quickly because the next episode »Better Call Saul« is out and who do you think we'll meet again today according to Vince Gilligan ...

01.08.2022 • I NEED ALL THE HEROES I CAN GET!
Wow! To round up an already exciting day, LUCASFILM gave us this very special treat for the end of work day: the new ANDOR trailer!
https://youtu.be/cKOegEuCcfw
The clip is set up very dynamically and the visual impression is definately promising a spy & thrill Star Wars in the tone of »Rogue One«.
There's one little bumper, though: the launch of the series will be postponed from August 21st September. But on the other hand, we will get three episodes right away - that means Cassian Andor in a full-feature length:)!

01.08.2022 • WELCOME TO THE CREW, DANIEL!
After the leave of our Katharina end of June, we started a nationwide - actually worldwide - casting in order to find a worthy successor for Katha in the team "Service & Sales".
Our conditions have been tricky! Besides a full load of skills in office management, a very fine tuned and sensitive antenna for the belongings of our customers and of course some very deeply in the DNA anchored nerd genes, one thing was extremely important to us: he or she shall look roughly like Casey Jones!
This requirement alone actually limited our search pretty much. So it took a couple of months ... until we found HIM: our new colleague DANIEL!
Starting today, Daniel will give everything at the S.P.A.C.E frontline for you, dear customers. Allow him some time for a little groove-in-phase until he will also be available on our phone.
You can reach out to him right away under daniel@space-figuren.de, because "lookslikecaseyjonesandloveshorrormoviesandofcoursealsotheturtles@space-figuren.de" unfortunately was already occupied.
COWABUNGA and WELCOME to the S.P.A.C.E Crew, dear Daniel!

01.08.2022 • PRODUCT OF THE MONTH AUGUST 2022
When we unpacked the new 1/6 scale Batman ARTFX PVC statue by KOTOBUKIYA in one of our SDCC live-streams, it was immediately clear to everyone that this magnificent Last Knight on Earth had to be the product of the month for August!
After Batman is shot by a boy, Bruce Wayne finds himself a patient in Arkham Asylum. A doctor who resembles the Joker tells him that he only imagined Batman and that he is now on the mend. Bruce can't believe this and tries to escape, whereupon Alfred explains that this was all staged to protect him from the bitter truth: Gotham and the rest of the world are gone! A short time later, Bruce wakes up in a desert and finds the Joker's talking head in a jar. Together, they travel through a post-apocalyptic world to find out what exactly happened.
Kotobukiya perfectly captured the Dark Knight as he thoughtfully wanders the earth with the head of his archenemy The Joker.
Standing at 30cm tall, this marvelous statue recreates the stylization and form of the unique design work in the comics.
If you are as amazed about this masterpiece as we are, then go and get it!

28.07.2022 • LIGHT & MAGIC
A long time ago, on a small blue planet, situated in one of the smaller spiral arms of the Milky Way ... a man had a dream. The dream he dreamed was a film that could not have been made with the resources available at the time. The man was George Lucas and the movie he dreamed of was named »Star Wars«.
In order to make the impossible possible, Lucas founded the special effects company INDUSTRIAL LIGHT & MAGIC. And cinema should be different from that time on ...
As of yesterday, Disney+ started streaming the six-part miniseries »Light & Magic«, giving us a comprehensive behind-the-scenes look at the history of ILM. In addition to George Lucas and other filmmakers, many of those involved such as Dennis Muren, Richard Edlund, Phil Tippett, John Dykstra and Jon Berg themselves have their say and remember their adventures with spaceships and dinosaurs in more than 350 films, which were awarded with 16 Oscars.
It's informative, sometimes anecdotal and nostalgic, and always very entertaining. An absolute must-see for all film lovers (and not just Star Wars fans)!

27.07.2022 • SDCC 2022 FEATURE - TRAILER SHOW
San Diego Comic Con is a fixture on studio and broadcaster calendars when it comes to feeding us fans new trailers. And this year was no different. There was a lot that excited us and tickled our retinas pleasantly.
We already talked about the emotional trailer on »Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever« the day before yesterday. Another Marvel highlight could be the more comedic »She-Hulk: Attorney at Law« series. We're looking forward to Tatiana Maslany as the green lawyer.
DC sent with »Black Adam« and » Shazam! Fury of the Gods« two very different superheroes into the race. Currently, our sympathies are somewhat greater with Shazam, probably because the first movie here surprised us so positively.
»John Wick: Chapter 4« promises us hard-hitting action and shows once again how to properly choreograph and photograph fight scenes.
There is also plenty of material in the pipeline for all fantasy fans. We're still a bit skeptical about » Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power«, but with every new trailer we're getting more Middle-Earth vibes. We're also excited to return to Westeros and dive into the prequel to the Game of Thrones saga in »House of the Dragon«. The trailer for »Dungeons & Dragons« really got us flashed. Here we expect grandiose popcorn cinema at its best.
Two series are entering their finale: The Apple TV+ series »See« with Jason Momoa ends after the third season and »The Walking Dead« ends after 11 seasons. Once one of our top 10 series, the zombie soap eventually lost us.
Now comes a clear "Please don't screw that up!" to the broadcasters. With Netflix, such fears are certainly justified after a few less successful adaptations. Let's hope »The Sandman« is worth something. The trailer for the series adaptation of the Anne Rice novel »Interview with the Vampire« at AMC looks quite atmospheric. We are looking forward to it.
Here you will find a compilation of all trailers and teasers shown at SDCC 2022:

25.07.2022 • NO WOMAN NO CRY ...
At this year's Comic Con in San Diego, the sensational and very emotional first trailer for »Black Panther: Wakanda Forever« finally celebrated its premiere! Despite all the joy about the new film, there is also sadness about the premature death of Chadwick Boseman. In »Black Panther« he wowed us with his charisma in the lead role of T'Challa aka Black Panther. So we see this trailer as a tribute to the great actor.
https://youtu.be/RlOB3UALvrQ
MARVEL officials decided not to just recast T'Challa. So T'Challa died with Boseman and the script had to be changed respectfully.
Meanwhile, Marvel has also released the first synopsis of the film:
"Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M'Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira) and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba) fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T'Challa's death.As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda. Introducing Tenoch Huerta as Namor, king of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena and Alex Livanalli."
We are very excited about the appearances of Tenoch Huerta as Namor, the King of Atlantis, and Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams aka Ironheart. Both will appear more frequently in future MCU films and series.
Of course, MARVEL isn't telling us yet who the new Black Panther will be. The final shot of the trailer is showing him (or her) extend the claws, but we'll probably have to wait until November to see who's gonna be wearing the black suit. »Black Panther: Wakanda Forever« then will end phase 4 of the MCU.

22.07.2022 • SDCC 2022 FEATURE - STREAM #1
The countdown is on: today at 5 p.m. CET we start our stream #1, live on our YouTube channel!
You can expect not only a concentrated load of novelties from Iron Studios & Kotobukiya, but also funny and informative conversations with Patrick and Sven as well as a lively exchange via our YouTube live-chat, this time with Toby at the comments. And as a small (or rather large) goodie, the 1/10 Scale Mandalorian & Grogu Art Scale Statue by Iron Studios as sweepstakes in the bag. Oh and: we will also unbox something :).
The biggest buzz though will be the direct call to San Diego to the Convention Center for an exclusive booth tour which Alexandre and Marcelo from IRON STUDIOS will give us!

20.07.2022 • SIDESHOW CON 2022 - ROUND UP
From 11th to 19th July, SIDESHOW CON reported daily via YouTube to make our geek hearts beat faster and shorten the waiting time for San Diego Comic Con. Here are some highlights we're particularly looking forward to:
Let's start with two statues by renowned artists. FRANKIE REBORN by Olivia De Berardinis will not only make fans of the »Universal Monsters« erupt in enthusiasm - we can already see her decorating our studio. And the fantastic J. Scott Campbell's »Fairytale Fantasies Collection« continues royally with the EVIL QUEEN statue. It seems that there will be even more of this wonderful series coming up!
»Star Wars« is served by Sideshow in several imperial-sized formats. BOBA FETT & HAN SOLO IN CARBONITE and GROGU (as a set of 3) have memorable appearances with the well-loved Premium Format Figures. A highly focused YODA presents himself as a Legendary Scale Figure and is sure to be a fantastic highlight in any collection. Another BOBA FETT arrives as a giant life-size bust based on his appearance in »The Mandalorian«. And the sixth scale figures are growing with AHSOKA TANO and CAD BANE, both from the animated series »The Clone Wars«.
Fans of »DC Comics« can also look forward to two more statues. THE JOKER is honored and his ex, HARLEY QUINN, is also appearing as an enchanting Premium Format Figure from the movie »Suicide Squad«.
Last but not least, WOLVERINE: RONIN joins for »Marvel« the lineup of notable Premium Format Figures.
But now we are excited to see what other irons in the fire Sideshow will have at SDCC 2022 and are looking forward to the last few hours until the show finally kicks off in San Diego!

18.07.2022 • S.P.A.C.E POSTCARD COLLECTION JULY 2022
This month, our POSTCARD COLLECTION was enriched by another icon: the Joker, portrayed in »The Dark Knight« by the incredibly talented Heath Ledger!
Throught the years there were countless collectibles made of this character, but PRIME 1 STUDIO probably set the most dignified monument ever to the famous anti-hero with their new Museum Masterline Statue.
This strongly expressive portrait was provided to us by our customer Ronny - who actually is the lucky owner of exactly this statue - and it graces the cover of our July postcard. We are very thankful about this, dear Ronny! If you want to learn more about the very spontanous origin story of this postcard and of course of the collectible itself, then you should check out our latest ABGESPACED episode where we had Ronny on the "Red Telephone" for a chat.
Hey, why so serious? in case you haven't done it yet, just place an order in our shop and make sure to grab a free Joker postcard until the end of the month!

15.07.2022 • NO JOY
The »Resident Evil« video games have been among the most successful and popular survival-games for more than 25 years. So there's no question that film and series producers are always itching to bring the games to the big screen or tv.
The six »Resident Evil« movies with Milla Jovovich were financially successful, but they were always panned by the critics and are also frowned upon in gamer circles. After the reboot »Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City« flopped mercilessly in 2021 and the four-part animated series »Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness« was nothing more than TV fast food, the expectations for the new NETFLIX series »Resident Evil« were not too high.
Surely excited we watched the first three episodes yesterday - and we come to the following conclusion: Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker does his job well and the story about the two sisters in the 2022 timeline also has its moments. The monster design is quite well done, too. The 2036 timeline though is generic zombie action. Unfortunately, rather boring and if you expect horror - nope! As fan of the games, it is best to avoid the series.

14.07.2022 • COUNTDOWN TO SDCC 2022
In exactly one week it will FINALLY be that time again: the "real" SAN DIEGO COMIC CON 2022 will open its gates and the Convention Center in San Diego will turn into the epic center of Pop Culture!
If Corona doesn't thwart our plans at short notice, we'll join virtually with various live streams on YouTube. Because we are damn hot about a mega geeky SDCC feature with you!
Four streams are planned (two on Friday and two on Saturday) where our friends and colleagues Mick and Patrick will be in the studio with us. There will be chatter, analysis, shop talk and surely drooling - because the manufacturers will certainly not be stingy with highlights.
We will announce more detailed information about the individual streams, the contents and the times in our news by mid of next week.
Are you already as much 🔥 on fire 🔥 as we are??
