At the moment our 1/6 SUPER SECTION is bursting at the seams due to the huge shipment from last week. Actually, our friend Mick had planned to visit us especially for this occasion - but Corona put a spoke in the wheel.

So also he only has the possibility to browse the store virtually. Like many of you, kitbasher Mick also started raving about all the great 1/6th material - heads, bodies, countless costumes, furniture, animals from the Bengal tiger to the cute squirrel... and of course legions of complete figures. Amongst others, there is a lot of »Game of Thrones« in stock again: Joffrey, Bran and Jon Snow from Threezero and The Mercenary from Xensation are the latest additions. Mick has already published a review of Joffrey Baratheon in the Action-Figure-District. Have a look at it.

Oh yes - there are also supplies from Threezero in the pre-order section, specifically Arya (Season 8) and Jaime (Season 7).

So, dear 1/6 fans: have fun browsing through the again bulging 1/6 Super Section :)

Exactly today in two weeks time the biggest bargain hunt of the year is coming up again - the CyberSpaceWeekend!

So mark the weekend of November 27th in your calendar - it will be worth it...

After a long wait, our huge container with 1/6 novelties and our new product of the month - the Pennywise Maquette - finally arrived today! After 2 weeks delay at customs we could finally unpack it completely today and fill our whole warehouse with it. We are now busy with sorting and cleaning up and of course the items will be unlocked on our website as soon as possible. :)

For our Trailer Tuesday we have two games and four films that we're looking forward to. The preview of »House of Ashes« gives us a nice exorcist allusion and the cinematic TV commercial for »Assassin's Creed: Valhalla« charmingly breaks through the fourth wall. »The Midnight Sky« by and with George Clooney will be on Netflix. It's going to be Christmas for big and small Star Wars fans on Disney+ with the »LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special«. If you prefer it bloody, the teaser for »Willy's Wonderland« with Nicolas Cage might make you curious. There is a second little teaser for »Halloween Kills« - a film we really want to see. Unfortunately we have to be strong because Michael Myers won't be in the cinema until Halloween 2021.

By the Power of Grayskull... We have another special newsletter fresh from Eternia's press for you! Have fun ;)

Picking the product of the month for November was very difficult for us because we had so many great collectibles available. Finally, Tweeterhead's Pennywise maquette made it to the throne - or coffin - with a short lead!

Andrés Muschietti's remake of »Stephen King's It« brought the horror clown to our screens in 2017. And this version of the child-eating monster was chosen from the Californian manufacturer. The 1/5 scale statue shows Pennywise, who was played by Bill Skarsgård, crouching on a coffin. In his hand he's holding his famous lure, a red balloon. It almost seems like he's just waiting for his prey. The extreme attention to detail and the magnificent painting make this collectible a must-have in the collection, not only for Pennywise fans.

To be honest, this is probably one of the best collectibles Tweeterhead has released so far and thus our deserved winner in the fight for our product of the month.

The wait is finally (almost) over! THE MANDALORIAN season 2 starts tomorrow on Disney+.

The popcorn is ready and we are really excited to see how the story of Mando and Baby Yoda continues. We are of course particularly curious about the appearances of Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) and the first live-action versions of Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) and Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff), both known from the animation series »Star Wars: The Clone Wars«.

»The Witcher« showed the way - the adaptation of the video game as a Netflix series was so successful that the streaming provider is of course putting out antennae for similar projects. With »Assassin's Creed« they have now found a suitable candidate! Netflix announced that Jason Altman and Danielle Kreinik from publisher and developer UBISOFT will be responsible as producers. And just like the Witcher, they are already thinking about further projects like spin-offs and animation series for a franchise in addition to a life-action series.

The 2016 movie had a crash landing - with fans, critics and at the box office. But with a well-produced Netflix series, things can look very different.

Right in time for Halloween week, our Trailer Tuesday also starts spooky with the trailer for the video game »Little Nightmares 2«. The Apple TV+ series »Servant« is also nice and creepy - the second season starts on January 15th. The construction of the horror film »The Empty Man« seems a bit too retort-like, but let's wait and see. The Hulu thriller »Run« with Sarah Paulson looks exciting and in the thriller drama »Dreamland« we meet Margot Robbie again. But we are particularly curious about the Western »News from the World« with Tom Hanks and Helena Zengel (Systemsprenger)!

All fantasy fans and children of the 80s will certainly remember »Willow«, the wonderful fantasy adventure in which Warwick Davis (Wicket, the Ewok) played the leading role alongside Val Kilmer. Ron Howard directed the story of George Lucas in 1988 truly great and James Horner accompanied the whole thing with an unforgettable score.

Now it has been confirmed that Willow will get a sequel - as a series on Disney+! Warwick Davis will definitely be in it and Ron Howard will probably have his fingers in the pie too. That sounds promising, we think. We're especially happy for Warwick, who is such a nice guy and you always like to see him - even if you often don't even recognize him...

Gal Gadot follows in Elizabeth Taylor's footsteps and plays Cleopatra in the remake of the historical material. The original movie is from 1963 and it was awarded with four Academy Awards.

Plans for a new edition have been buzzing through Hollywood for a long time. Ten years ago, »Titanic« director James Cameron had the wish to direct the monumental film with Angelina Jolie in the title role. As it turns out, the material is still in demand and some studios struggled to bring the life of the legendary Egyptian queen back to the screen. Ultimately, the Paramount Pictures won the race. The director will be Patty Jenkins, who has also directed the two Wonder Woman films. The script for the historical epic is written by Laeta Kalogridis (Shutter Island). The constellation of the three strong women (Gadot, Jenkins and Kalogridis) promises that the story will be told from a female perspective. So this could be exciting...

Gal Gadot in an opulent costume as Cleo - that literally screams for a realization as a wonderful 1/6 scale figure, right? We do not consider that to be impossible either. Recently, TBLeague presented us a few pretty Egyptian characters. So that would be a good candidate for a Gadot Cleopatra.
 

The last week wasn't quite as rich with new, exciting trailers, so our Trailer Tuesday is a bit leaner and here and there we make a small (or big) question mark, like behind the first long trailer for »Monster Hunter«, a soulless and not even good CGI orgy... We look forward to get a letter from the Boss and the documentary »Bruce Springsteen’s Letter to You« on Apple TV+. The Spanish HBO series »30 Coins« and the Stephen King miniseries »The Stand« make us cautiously optimistic. And CD Projekt RED continues to feed our greed on »Cyberpunk 2077«. We don't have to wait much longer. In Night City, your style determines everything...

»Dexter« gets a new season after seven years. What did we celebrate the series back then, even if after the fourth season it unfortunately lost more and more momentum and the finale was simply disappointing! Now there is the possibility to bring the series to a worthy end with ten new episodes.

In addition to Michael C. Hall, showrunner Clyde Phillips is back on board. SHOWTIME broadcaster Gary Levine said "We wouldn't bring this unique character back if we hadn't found a creative approach worthy of the brilliant original series. Clyde Phillips and Michael C. Hall came up with such an approach and we can't wait to show it to the world."

Now that sounds promising! Season 9 is scheduled to go on air on SHOWTIME in fall 2021. We really look forward to seeing the "serial killer with codex" again.

Today we again have a high-ranking visitor to the S.P.A.C.E headquarters! Marc, whom some of you know as »the Euronerd« from Instagram, has arranged to meet us for a coffee.

Marc didn't come empty-handed, but with a huge pile of the brand new and hot off the press NERDY STYLEZ. This super cool free magazine will be in our distribution starting today. A Nerdy Stylez is included in every package, free of charge of course!

We are especially proud of our really big advertisement on page 13 (props to @collectors_apartment)!

Our »Postcard Collection« goes into the second round - or rather is right in the middle of it... because since October 1st you will get the »Beetlejuice« postcard in every package from us - as always free of charge!

The design shows the beautiful 1/7 scale Beetlejuice PVC statue from KOTOBUKIYA's popular »Horror Bishoujo« series. The fantastic artwork was designed and staged by our friend Peter (@collectors_apartment). A big thanks, combined with a huge compliment for the work goes to Peter "SmerliPowers" Pan ;)

We are convinced that you will love the postcard too! The new card for November will be out of the printing house soon. We only had to pay a bounty...

It's Trailer Tuesday Time again! Today we take you into distant, fantastic worlds and present a lot of thrill with nail-biting tension. In this sense, »Horizon Line« makes a very good impression on us. Is anyone here afraid of flying...?

Originally the annual NEW YORK COMIC CON would start today in New York at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. Of course this event is also cancelled due to Covid-19. As alternative the organizers arranged an extensive on-line program under the label »New York Comic Con x MCM Comic Con's Metaverse«. You can find more information here.

Sideshow, who are usually very active at the NYCC, have taken the reins again and are organizing their own con since Tuesday - online, of course. The first highlights could already be discovered during the shows and live streams. Among them were all the »Clone Wars« figures from Hot Toys including Ahsoka Tano or the 1/10 Cave Troll from Iron Studios. But also Sideshow's own, brand new Iron Man Mark XLIII Maquette is a real eye-catcher!

Keep an eye on Sideshow's YouTube channel or the website or snoop through Instagram and co. for the hashtag #sideshownycon :)

In our next ABGESPACED episode at the end of the month we will present you a summary of the most interesting news!

A lot of new trailers have come out in the last few days - accordingly the horn of plenty for our trailer Tuesday is full of promising prospects. These are unfortunately a little bit clouded by the latest news from Warner Bros. about »Dune«: the theatrical release has been postponed by almost a year to October 2021! The Corona crisis is seriously forcing the cinema industry to its knees...

Nevertheless have fun clicking through our selected clips. The story trailer for »Assassin's Creed Valhalla« was the one that shook us the most. Very cool that the game will be released in about a month :)

MOTU fans, heads up: today we have some news especially for you! New Origins for pre-order, Mythic Legions and lots more...

Our Product of the Month October 2020 takes us 50 years back to the Wild West of 1970, when the classic spaghetti westerns of the 60s were followed by two very special, glorious scoundrels and they undoubtedly made film history: Bud Spencer and Terence Hill - legends of our childhood, with their movies for eternity...

It would probably be difficult to make an exact hit list of all Bud Spencer & Terence Hill movies, but »The Devil's Right and Left Hand« is certainly one of everyone's favorites. From exactly this movie the Italian manufacturer »Infinite Statue« took Bud Spencer in his role as Bambino as a model and released a wonderful resin statue in 1/6 scale.

Infinite always go into their statues with great attention to detail and so once again an iconic collector's item has been created - in a strictly limited edition of only 600 copies worldwide!

We' ve rarely looked forward to the delivery of a collectible as much as we did with this one - and of course a Bud Spencer had to make its way to our own showroom as well.

You don't have to fight for Bambino with your fists yet, because we were able to get a few more pieces for you. But don't think about it too long, because Bud will be completely sold out soon!
