I've stumbled upon this cool trailer. It's for a documentary called Plastic Galaxy - The Story of Star Wars Toys.



When Star Wars landed in the theaters, it introduced audiences to a galaxy filled with heroes and villains, robots and space ships, and a dizzying variety of alien life. But when the lights came up, they all disappeared...

Unless you had all the toys. In which case, the adventure never had to end.

In backyards, playgrounds, basements, and bedrooms, Star Wars toys helped kids re-enact scenes from their favorite movies, and create entirely new dangers for Luke Skywalker and his friends to face. They were lusted after on holidays and birthdays, swapped with great cunning out on the school yard, and carefully collected like fine treasures. Like no toys before them, the action figures, space ships, play sets, and props were a phenomenon that swept the nation with as much force as the film that inspired them. Along the way they transformed both the toy and movie industries, earned those behind them vast amounts of wealth, and ultimately created a hobby that, 30 years later, still holds sway over not only the people who grew up with the toys, but also an entirely new generation of fans.

Plastic Galaxy is a documentary that explores the groundbreaking and breathtaking world of Star Wars toys. Through interviews with former Kenner employees, experts, authors, and collectors, it looks at the toys’ history, their influence, and the fond and fervent feelings they elicit today.

The film, which will be released on DVD, also includes tours of some of the top collections -- comprising prototypes, bootlegs, foreign toys, and all manner of surprises. DVD extras, including micro-documentaries and extended interviews, make Plastic Galaxy a prize for not only newer fans, but also long-time collectors.

The DVD, originally scheduled for an August 2012 release, has been pushed back until November. The producers of the doc are using the time to conduct some more interviews and allow for more post production time. Check out the official site Here.... [Read More]

If you were lucky enough to be at the Chicaco Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) this past weekend, you were treated to a major unveiling! The final figures in Diamond Select Toys’ Avengers toy lines were finally shown to the public, providing a detailed look at Loki’s Army from the highly anticipated film!

As part of Marvel Minimates Series 45, a 2-inch minifigure of Loki’s Army Footsoldier will come out in early May as part of a two-pack with Maria Hill. And be on the lookout for a rare variant set, which will pair the Footsoldier with his even more intimidating General! Then, in July, look for the 7-inch Marvel Select figure of the Footsoldier to hit stores, along with a bridge battle display base that connects to Hawkeye’s display base, forming a larger battle scene!

Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum have unveiled new Minimates based on characters from the Expendables.

On-screen, the stars of the instant-classic action film The Expendables are all larger-than-life, but in the real world, many of them are no bigger than you or me. Jason Statham? Five-foot-nine. Sylvester Stallone? Five-foot-nine-and-a-half. Jet Li? Five-foot-six-and-a-quarter. So translating all of them into 2-inch Minimates minifigures was a piece of cake!

This summer, DST will release two sets of Expendables Minimates, one at Toys “R” Us and one at comic shops and specialty stores. The Toys “R” Us set will feature:
- Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone)
- Trent Mauser (Arnold Schwarzenegger)
- James Munroe (Eric Roberts)
- Paine (Steve Austin)

And the Specialty set will feature
- Lee Christmas (Jason Statham)
- Hale Caesar (Terry Crews)
- Mr. Church (Bruce Willis)
- Tool (Mickey Rourke)

Syco has sent out preview images of their upcoming Mortal Kombat: Sonya Blade 10" Polystone Statue. This version varies greatly from the Sonya 18" Premium Statue previously seen. The statue is still undergoing some revisions (which is why the face is not revealed). however, the shipping date is estimated to be August. The statue will come with a removable "ring toss" and a special variant will come with her handgun.

Inspired by her 'Military Stance' move set, Lt. Sonya Blade delivers a devastating high kick as she summons her iconic "Energy Rings" (optional) to finish off the unfortunate opponent. MK's bombshell is full of attitude and she knows it. She has full authority! Expect her dog-tags to be made out of a real chain.

ATTENTION SOLDIERS! Sonya Blade hasn't gained the reputation of being Mortal Kombat's "toughest female" for nothing! While her 18" statue focuses on her deadly sexiness and on her dangerous side, for her 10" statue we decided to give her a pose that captured her iconic toughness and her Kombat skills. Sonya's powerful legs are a renown deadly weapon throughout the realms, so, naturally, we decided to use them as the main attraction. As if her killer legs weren't enough, she will also feature her iconic "Energy Rings" (which you can optionally display) showing off her supernatural powers. Sonya will also arrive in the form of an "Exclusive Statue" which will present a unique addition: her Special Forces high-tech gun! Expect more information and a complete reveal of both statues by the end of next week as we are currently working on the final adjustments of her hair and "Rings of Justice". We hope you like her pose.

NECA has posted an update and a few new photos for a couple of upcoming Borderlands Figures. The Claptrap & Psycho Bandit Action Figures will be shipping soon.

Greetings Traveller – Borderland’s Claptrap & Psycho Bandit Action Figures Coming Soon

Two of the most iconic characters in Gearbox’s phenomenal space western game, Borderlands, are scheduled for arrival in your favorite toy stores late May.

Earlier this week, we sent a couple of samples to the developers, and they liked it so much they posted a pic on their Fan page. So today, we want to show you a bit more about Series 1.

The Claptrap Action Figure

"Welcome to Fyrestone! I am CL4P-TP, you may call me by my locally designated name, ‘Claptrap’."

As stewards of Pandora, these robots can really only offer help if you take time to repair them. Our Claptrap figure, however, has not been damaged by Bandits and ships with a base, perfect for displaying it on your desk. See pics below:

Psycho Bandit Action Figure

These outlaws can be immediately identified by their homicidal cries, psychotic laughter and constant desire to get into close combat. Their orange pants are easily spotted and often, it’s not a good idea to come too close as Psycho Bandits love to bite.

Lots more coming up…

Left 4 Dead, E.T. The Extraterrestrial, Prometheus, Half-Life… 2012 is going to be historical, stay tuned!!

The Boys category will benefit from the launch of four major motion pictures in the coming months to global audiences. In partnership with Universal, BATTLESHIP is off to a great early start. The film recently launched in more than 50 international territories and while we are still awaiting final numbers, we are very pleased that in just 12 days, the film has grossed more than $100M in international box office revenue.

MARVEL has two tremendous films this year – THE AVENGERS, from Marvel, opens May 4, and THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN from Marvel and Sony, opens July 3. Both brands are being supported with television animation and we have strong lines for both properties.

Finally, in partnership with Paramount, we are excited for the return of G.I. JOE to the big screen in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, coming to theatres on June 29th.

Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum have announced Universal Monsters Series 3. Series 3 will include the Phantom of the Opera, The Invisible Man and the Metaluna Mutant from This Island Earth.

There are a lot of traditions that happen every Halloween, but Diamond Select Toys has created a new one — 7-inch Universal Monsters action figures! DST has put out two series of Universal Monsters 7-inch figures in the past two years, and this year will see that tradition continue with five new figures due out this September!

At comic shops and specialty stores, horror fans will be able to pick up a highly detailed Metaluna Mutant from 1955’s This Island Earth. With his bulging brain and claws, he conveys all the menace of the movie creature, and he even comes with the Interocitor, the device that allows humans to contact the Metalunans. Alongside the Metaluna Mutant will be the Phantom from Phantom of the Opera (1925), complete with his massive organ, which he plays in the catacombs of the opera house. Both will be available in the oversized Select display packaging, with side panel art perfect for storing on a shelf.

Toys “R” Us will get their own exclusive figure in the Invisible Man, from the 1933 film of the same name. Jack Griffin is depicted with his goggles and false nose, and comes with a small display base. Toys “R” Us will also get a variation on the Phantom of the Opera, one that wears a coat and mask, and comes with a violin and music stand instead of the organ. There will also be a more basic version of the Metaluna Mutant at Toys “R” Us, minus the Interocitor. All of these figures will come in smaller blister-card packaging.

Check out the photos below, and pre-order the two Select figures today at your local comic shop or your favorite online retailer.

Since its rebranding as "Syfy", the channel has taken great pains to re-brand the itself. That re-branding continues with a series of new shows announced by Syfy. While they have their normal slate of scripted and unscripted shows (including a possible DC Comics Booster Gold series), Toyark fans will want to take a look at the descriptions for two shows in particular.

Toy Traveler: Shane Turgeon, the Indiana Jones of toy collectors, travels to remote corners of the world to find the rarest and most valuable toys and collectibles. Whether it’s in an old toy warehouse in a remote Guatemalan town or a small swap meet in the Ukraine, Shane will go to all lengths to find the most unique and collectible toys.

Collection Intervention: Collection Intervention follows Elyse Luray, a sharp and to-the-point collectibles expert as she helps couples who are divided over what to do with an overwhelming collection of memorabilia. Whether it’s a husband’s collection of mint-condition G.I. JOE action figures worth thousands of dollars or a girlfriend’s treasure trove of Star Wars movie posters, Elyse helps couples decide what’s worth keeping and what they can sell. For each couple, their new cash windfall will make their dream come true, whether it’s an engagement ring, a down payment for a home, or the honeymoon they never had.

Dread Central has a list of the other Syfy show for those that want to see what else the network is offering.... [Read More]

"Marvel's The Avengers" is rapidly approaching, and Avengers Mania is sweeping the nation! But what about those Avengers fans whose love for Earth's Mightiest Heroes predates the highly anticipated feature film? MarvelStore.com is already the place to go for all of your Marvel movie swag needs, but they also carry merchandise modeled after the comics and cartoons, and they just got two new items that will be must-have items in any Marvel fan's collection!

Shortly after "Marvel's The Avengers" hits in May, MarvelStore.com will offer two exclusive box sets of Marvel Minimates by Diamond Select Toys, both based on the classic comic-book Avengers team! Each set will showcase the team's most iconic members in 2-inch mini-figure form, as well as a major Avengers villain who has never before been made as a Minimate! Set 1 features the debut of the eternal time-traveler Kang against Captain America, Hulk and Giant-Man, while Set 2 spotlights the vengeful Grim Reaper alongside Iron Man, Thor and Hawkeye.

No Avengers collection will be complete without these exclusive sets! Order them through MarvelStore.com or DisneyStore.com in late April, or pick them up at your local Disney Store!

Sideshow has announced a new line of Star Wars Statues. They will be calling the new line Star Wars: Mythos.

“The Star Wars Universe is limitless with possibilities, its mythology ever-expanding. Our art team wanted to contribute to that expansion by telling new stories about some of the most compelling Star Wars characters. With the encouragement of Lucasfilm, we created the Mythos line of statues.

This line of collectibles will be populated by characters from new and existing story lines. We will bring history, unique details and personal choices to each in order to elaborate on who they are. Through the design and sculpt process our goal is to delve deeper into these established characters and offer our own interpretations of what they have done outside of the Star Wars canon.

Our art team is taking the themes and core concepts common to the Star Wars mythology, such as love, honor, hope, despair and adventure, and accentuating those themes to achieve a collection of figures unlike any we’ve previously offered. Our vision is to portray moments in the imagined lifetimes of these characters and reveal them in a new way, in a new light. We hope to capture the imagination of Star Wars fans all over the world, and share with them our own adventures in that galaxy far, far away.”

Read on for some info and images for the first two statues; Darth Maul and Ben Kenobi. Announced, but not revealed statues include Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and Lomrokk.... [Read More]

Mattel has posted a bit of an update on some upcoming DC Comics Toys. Check it out below.

DC Comics Fans,

Right from the very beginning, the Young Justice television series has been one of our favorites, thanks to fresh, new adventures based on classic characters and we’re glad we’ve been able to offer you the Young Justice toy line. Looking ahead, we’ve got some new DC Comics toys in the works that we can’t wait to share!

So now on to 2013… As you read this, we’re busy planning a collector-aimed retail line designed to deliver DC Comics Super Heroes and villains that complement your existing collection. We can’t reveal much at this point, but rest assured, we’ve listened and learned from our past lines, and believe we have a recipe that’ll satisfy your craving for fan-favorite DC Comics characters without overpromising.

For 2012, we’ve got not one, but three new lines, starting with our DC Universe Club Infinite Earths subscription service dedicated to true collector characters you won’t find at retail. The first shipment goes out in May and features an all-new 6” Golden Age The Flash figure. If you missed out on the subscription, a limited quantity will also be available at MattyCollector.com on May 15th at 9am PT.

Then, in late May, head to your local retailer and you’ll find The Dark Knight Rises, a collector-inspired and kid-friendly Batman line based on the sure-to-be-a-hit film. The Dark Knight Rises lineup brings home all the excitement of the theatrical film, including delivering the sweet new vehicle The Bat right into your hands. You’ll also find the awesome new 6” scale Batman evergreen lineup that reimagines Batman from a young mind’s perspective.

Keep your eye on this spot and we’ll have more details as they’re available. Our partnership with DC Comics is stronger than ever and we couldn’t be more excited for all the amazing new collector and kid toys to come!
