Dear STAR WARS fans, Lucasfilm and Disney are giving us a really nice treatment this weekend. From today, we can finally enjoy not only the long-awaited »Obi-Wan Kenobi« series, but thanks to Star Wars Celebration 2022, that started off yesterday, there are millions of midi--chlorians everywhere around us!

Actually before Celebration kicked off, two brand-hot teaser trailers were dropped online: the one on the next STAR WARS Disney+ series »Andor« and a incredibly impressive teaser on »Willow«, the sequel to the 80's classic with Warwick Davis and Val Kilmer - definately check that out :).

The STAR WARS happening itself surely had a proper grand opening. None the less than maestro John Williams was on stage, conducting his orchestra and presented the world premiere of the »Obi-Wan Kenobi« theme to the fans. How unbelievable was this moment probably ... Congratulations to everybody who had the chance to experience this live on site.

Of course many manufacturers are coming up with the first con exclusives and new reveals. We surely can expect a lot from Sideshow and Hot Toys, like for example new stuff from »Clone Wars« (Barc Speeder and AT-RT) or a life-size C-3PO! Beware that all these impressions won't make your wirings melt down ...


 

Today's I-am-your-father-day is predestined for the launch of our new YouTube format THE SPACE IS YOURS! - because episode #1 takes us in a galaxy far, far away ...

There we visit Juergen on his space station. Juergen belongs to the bedrocks of the S.P.A.C.E customer base. So during the years, he built a remarkable STAR WARS collection in which he is giving us an exciting insight.

Find out who Juergen's favorite character is, how his first time »Episode I« went and what happens if you clean the originally signed steel plates of a lightsaber with the wrong detergent - all this and more in the first episode THE SPACE IS YOURS!!

In the early 2010s, the Taiwanese manufacturer Asmus Toys was still one of many small brands bustling about in the colorful sixth-scale world. In March 2013 they surprised the community with a »Lord of the Rings« license for 1/6 scale collectible figures. Today, some good nine years later, the figures from »The Lord of the Rings« and »The Hobbit« are still the flagships in the manufacturer's growing range. At the latest with Gandalf and the Crown Series, they have played their way into the premier league of figure makers.

The latest addition to the big Tolkien line is the Arwen in Death Frock figure which we have in stock in a noble exclusive version with great Elvish furniture accessories. Our Mick took a closer look at her in his figure review on Action Figure District and fell in love with the beautiful elven lady at first sight. No wonder ...

Gosh - these are again damn cool news from the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Not only a stunning, brand-new poster on »Thor: Love and Thunder« was just released, we also got a new trailer on the 4th part of the Space Viking:

Dope, right ❤️⚡?! Early July is not that far anymore ... 🤩!

Anyone who thought that Iron Studios shot all the powder with their in-house "Inside Iron Studios" stream in March, is totally wrong! Also end of April, there was again the full range of new statues in 1/10 scale!

The two highlights in our eyes of course came from the »Masters of the Universe« line, the two latest BDS Art Scale Statues: Evil-Lyn and the Sorceress. They fit perfectly alongside Skeletor on his throne and the Prince of Eternia thanks to the »Battle Diorama Series« feature.

The »Jurassic Park« series is joined by two new favorites in two versions each, the 1/10 Scale Velociraptor (The Lost World: Jurassic Park) and the 1/10 Scale Blue (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom).

On »Spider-Man: No Way Home« we can look forward to three versions of Peter Parker - one as Tom Holland, as Tobey Maguire and of course as Andrew Garfield.

After the Dementor and the Severus Snape statue, »Harry Potter« fans can now expand their collection with Hermione experimenting with the Polyjuice. The deluxe version also has an expanded Myrtle's bathroom diorama.

Furthermore, we get the complete Eternals line-up and also the classic Loki and Sylvie are included in the 1/10 scale series:
1/10 Scale Classic Loki Variant BDS Art Scale (Loki)
1/10 Scale Classic Loki Variant Deluxe BDS Art Scale (Loki)
1/10 Scale Sylvie Loki Variant Art Scale (Loki)

1/10 Scale Gilgamesh BDS Art Scale (Eternals)
1/10 Scale Thena BDS Art Scale (Eternals)
1/10 Scale Ajak BDS Art Scale (Eternals)
1/10 Scale Kingo BDS Art Scale (Eternals)
1/10 Scale Ikaris BDS Art Scale (Eternals)
1/10 Scale Makkari BDS Art Scale (Eternals)
1/10 Scale Phastos BDS Art Scale (Eternals)
1/10 Scale Sersi BDS Art Scale (Eternals)
1/10 Scale Druig BDS Art Scale (Eternals)
1/10 Scale Sprite BDS Art Scale (Eternals)

A small but fine highlight at the end: the Mumm-Ra MiniCo. Vinyl Figure from »Thundercats«.

What do you think, will they present us like 20 or more new collectibles again next time?
You can already find all the new products listed in our shop - so have fun browsing!

Yesterday, »Behavior«, developers of the popular video game »Dead by Daylight«, hosted a live stream celebrating the upcoming 6th anniversary of the asymmetric survival horror game. We won't waste your time with all upcoming changes on the gameplay, but of course we don't want to withhold the new chapter »Roots of Dread« from you:

https://youtu.be/KSXe4PgKufA

Anyone who thinks the announcement of another Resident Evil chapter during the year was a highlight has probably missed something. The chilling horror game is getting a spin-off - the Dead by Daylight Dating Simulator »Hooked on You«! What the ...? We also rubbed our eyes in amazement when we saw the trailer for it.

Starting this summer, you'll get the chance to date your favorite character. At the beginning there will be four "beauties" in beach outfits to choose from:
- the Trapper
- the Huntress
- the Spirit
- the Wraith

This will be a huge competition for the bachelor, what do you think?! 🤣

That turned us green during breakfast this morning ... MARVEL released the first trailer on the Disney+ series »She-Hulk: Attorney at Law« overnight!
https://youtu.be/gim2kprjL50

The series seems to have more focus on comedy than any other Marvel format, but of course action is not missing either. We've grown fond of Tatiana Maslany as attorney at law Jennifer Walters and the green title heroine at least since her Emmy winning roles in »Orphan Black«. To meet Mark Ruffalo again as her cousin Bruce Banner aka Smart-Hulk is surely also a big pleasure. And getting a first glimpse at Tim Roth as MCU rookie in the role as villain Abomination is definately a nice surprise 😀.

Even if the trailer doesn't convince us across the board, it has made us curious. Disney+ launch date is August 17, 2022.

35 years ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger had an encounter of the third kind in the deepest jungle of Central America. We all know by now that our planet is a popular destination for a mean species that we call the »Predator«. That was also the case 300 years ago. During this time, young Naru (Amber Midthunder) from the Comanche tribe has to defend herself against the beast...

20th Century Studios has now released a first teaser for »Prey«, the latest flick within the »Predator« franchise. It doesn't reveal much yet, but we definately like the atmosphere:
https://youtu.be/7HGqcifonvs

In the US, the film will be shown on streaming service Hulu. At the same time, it will be released in Germany / Europe on Disney+ on August 5th. We are really excited and look forward to see the ugly motherf****er again and the new hunting trip.

According to the motto ""Keep your friends close and your enemies closer", Obi-Wan and Darth Maul got together after a furious lightsaber duel to gape at our May 2022 postcard together 😅.

The two actors in sixth scale were set in scene stunningly by our friend Patrick (@wonderbunk) and they are adorning the cover of the latest postcard! May all this be a spoiler on the upcoming »Obi-Wan Kenobi« series ...? Who knows!

One thing is for sure though: all month long, you will get a free copy of this wonderful postcard from us in every package that will be leaving the hangar 94 of the S.P.A.C.E Headquarter and going on its journey to you 📦!

Happy Friday the 13th, folks 🥳!

We are raising the middle finger 🖕 to today's bad-luck-day and we'll make you happy instead with 5 great special offers on top of our regular offers of the week:

5 Jason Voorhees items are marked down by 13% 🔥 from now - but only until coming Sunday or of course only while supply lasts! So you better quickly make a detour to Camp Crystal Lake 🔪 (muhahaha) where you can find our SALE section 🤑...

"I don't wanna hurt anyone, but it feels kinda good."

The remake of Stephen King's classic »Firestarter« hits theaters today. The first adaptation from 1984 with Drew Barrymore as firecracker Charlie McGee is showing its age. A fresh cell cure for the substance is definitely appropriate.

We think the project is in very good hands at Blumhouse. In any case, the trailer looks great, even though it reveals a bit too much:
https://youtu.be/59MJfJPP5eo

For the King fans in the S.P.A.C.E Crew, the movie is of course a must-see. Only drop of bitterness: Zac Efron! Just jokin' 🤣...

What about you, are you hooked?

If you've tasted blood in terms of the "multiverse" thanks to »Doctor Strange«, you should definitely watch »Everything Everywhere All at Once« in the cinema - as long as it is still running!

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, also known as the "Daniels", have been on our radar since »Swiss Army Man«. Their new film tops the curiosity many times over.

An aging Chinese immigrant (Michelle Yeoh) is drawn into a madcap adventure where she alone can save the world by exploring other parallel universes connected to the lives she could have lived.

Family drama meets multiverse, meets adventure, meets martial arts. As the title suggests: everything everywhere and all at once. The film is a creative firework full of bizarre ideas and manages to quote Hong Kong action cinema, Stanley Kubrick's »2001« and the animated film »Ratatouille«.

The cast is top notch, above all Michelle Yeoh, plays great and can also address her own career as a martial arts star. Jamie Lee Curtis is almost unrecognizable as the nasty, buddha-bellied IRS officer and Ke Huy Quan (Short Round in »Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom«) makes a terrific comeback as Yeoh's husband, who proves a fanny pack can be a deadly weapon in an awesome Jackie Chan performance. For all its bizarreness, the film also poses existential questions, this, however, extremely charming and never loses sight of the mother-daughter conflict as the main theme.

»Everything Everywhere All at Once« currently has an 8.8 on IMDb, a Critic Tomatometer score of 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, and an Audience Score of 91%! In Germany too, our YouTubers from Robert Hofmann to the Filmgorillas celebrate the film frenetically. Our Mick has already seen the movie and gives it an enthusiastic five out of five stars and a big like on Letterboxd.

It's been 13 years since James Cameron enchanted us with his blockbuster »Avatar«. After what felt like an eternity, the time has come and Disney is presenting us the first teaser on »Avatar: The Way of Water«!

Outstanding score accompanies the first above- and underwater pictures and we are just extremely impressed - even in 2D on a normal screen. In 3D on the silver screen it surely appears on a whole other level.

There's not much spread about the story yet. We just learn that everything takes place over a decade after the first part. Jake and Neytiri have started a family, but the peaceful life on Pandora is once again being disturbed by men ...

If everything continues to go as planned, we will be able to enjoy Avatar 2 at cinemas from December 14, 2022 - definately on the big screen!

All »Game of Thrones« fans are surely eagerly awaiting the new prequel »House of the Dragon«. HBO Max released a new teaser trailer for the series over the weekend and fueled the hype once more:

https://youtu.be/Wg86eQkdudI

Not much is apparent yet, a few fights, intrigues and of course dragons. The end of the clip provided a highlight: "History does not remember blood. It remembers names." - what an epic moment, goosebumps guaranteed!

In any case, the pictures look colossal and it's hard to wait for the start of the show on August 21st, 2022.

»Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness« is finally hitting cinemas this week. The first opinions on YouTube express mixed comments: the acting performances are excellent, but a big criticism is that the story often only scratches the surface, which unfortunately then seems quite unround. Precisely because hardly anything was known about the film beforehand and people went to the cinemas with great hope. The audience can tell that this film serves to pave the way for the MCU to come, but that feels a little lifeless and misses a lot of opportunities that could have been explored.

Such a multiverse offers a lot of creative possibilities, but it also harbors just as many narrative pitfalls. It may be difficult for those who are not so deeply involved in Marvel matters to keep track of things. Especially if you don't have a Disney+ subscription and therefore don't know series like »Loki« and »WandaVision«. Then the multiverse can certainly awaken the need for an aspirin...

Famous movie reviewer Robert Hofmann puts it pretty well when he says you don't have to have seen every Marvel movie before it, but it's kind of like going to a place where you've had something special and showing it to a friend or acquaintance. For them it's just a place - that's how the Multiverse of Madness works: without prior knowledge, it's like another film.

Anyway, we're curious to see what's next for the MCU and the multiverse. And of course, everybody needs to see »Doctor Strange 2« for himself. So off to the cinema 😃!

Let's see what else will happen today...

In April, we're celebrating a little anniversary with ABGESPACED: 20 times NEUES AUS DEM FIGUREN UNIVERSUM! That is of course something really special - actually so special that the episode arrived late for three days 🙈.

Have fun 😀!

The choice for our product of the month May 2022 was more than easy for us, as we got really hot right away when we saw the new 1/4 Scale Marilyn Monroe Superb Hyrbid Statue from Blitzway.

Marilyn Monroe is one of cinema's immortal goddesses, firmly entrenched in the collective pop culture memory. From her supporting role in »The Asphalt Jungle« to her breakthrough role in »Niagara« and unforgettable comedies like »Gentlemen Prefer Blondes« and »Some Like It Hot«, Marilyn played and sang her way into all of our hearts. She was the sex symbol of the 1950s and her tragic early death made her a legend.

Blitzway memorialized her a few years ago with a stunning statue in her gold dress from »Gentlemen Prefer Blondes«. The second collectible is no less iconic, based on one of the most famous photographs of the 20th century. Sam Shaw's picture, shot while filming Billy Wilder's »The Seven Year Itch«, shows Marilyn in her white ruffled dress over the New York subway air vent. A moment for eternity, perfectly translated into three-dimensionality by the Blitzway artists.

If you missed the first Marilyn statue, or you want to put a second Norma Jeane in your shrine, this is the best chance to bring a noble piece of movie history to your hoome. But make sure you have a fan handy to cool you down a bit.

We would love to be in Las Vegas not. Not only for the nice weather, but mainly because that's where the CinemaCon took place until yesterday.
