I just wanted to let everyone know that the NECA Predators Series 10 figures are now available for sale at NECA’s eBay store! This is the wave that’s all inspired by the classic 90’s Kenner figures. It features modern versions of the Lava Planet Predator, Nighstorm Predator, and the Hive Wars Predator. I personally can’t wait to own these, since I loved those Kenner Predator figures back in the day. Just CLICK HERE or the photo below to go to the eBay listing page. The NECA Predators series 10 figures are also shipping to retailers this month, so be on the lookout! And what could possibly go better with some Kenner inspired NECA Predators figures but some Kenner inspired NECA Aliens? If you want something cool to go with series 10 of the Predators figures, you can bid on my custom Kenner Aliens figures right now on eBay. I’ve customized Sgt. Apone and the Bull Alien and used their original Kenner figures as the complete inspiration.

 


 
I hope this helps anyone wanting the new NECA Predators figures to get them!

News – MOTUC Castle Grayskull Final Update Video

As the 2013 New York Comic-Con approaches this weekend, the people over at Mattel are setting up as we speak. However, before the show starts Scott Neitlich (AKA Toyguru) put up a new video for us, showing off the final version of the MOTUC Castle Grayskull playset. This is the final model that will be going into production. Masters of the Universe Classics fans should be pleased with this one. It’s going to come with a ton of cool items that harken back to the vintage Castle Grayskull playset. Scott even goes so far as to give several measurements of the MOTUC Castle Grayskull to give an idea of scale. It looks plenty big for the Masters of the Universe Classics figures. Of course it’s not in scale with them, but to truly be in scale with them the playset would likely need to be as big as a small house. As is, I look forward to getting the MOTUC Castle Grayskull playset.

New Custom Figures – Kenner Inspired Sgt. Apone and Bull Alien!

Hey everyone. I have some new customs for you, just in time for the Halloween season. So, do you remember the old Kenner Aliens toy line from the early 90’s? I know I do. It’s one of my favorite toy lines, although I’m biased since Aliens is one of my favorite movies so of course a toy line based on it will catch my interest. At any rate, I was recently hit with inspiration to recreate the old Kenner Aliens figures, but in a more modern, realistic style that blends in with the new NECA figures. To kick things off, I started with two of my favorite figures from that line, Sgt. Apone and the Bull Alien. I’m thinking of releasing them two at a time, each time being one Colonial Marine and one Xenomorph to go with it. This is the start of what’s going to be a new line of custom figures from me, recreating pretty much the entire Kenner Aliens line. Be sure to click the links below below to view the corresponding page for the entire photo set and a detailed description of the process I went through to make each custom.

Also, both of these customs are currently for auction on eBay. If you’re interested in owning either of them, feel free to bid. If you know someone who might be, then please pass the links along. Click each photo below to see the eBay listing to place your bids.

Thanks for looking!
