17.08.2023 • NEW IN CINEMA
Today's theatrical releases could perhaps be described as "Movies Nobody Asked For". We’re taking a closer look at them anyway.
»The Last Voyage of the Demeter« is based on a chapter from Bram Stoker's novel »Dracula«. The Transylvanian bloodsucker is a stowaway on the Russian merchant ship Demeter, which travels from Varna to Whitby. The ship’s crew provides the count's snacks. Those who know the novel and many of its adaptations know how the story ends and the title of the film already serves as a spoiler to the uninitiated.
As Dracula fans, we still want to see the film, because director André Øvredal already proved with »The Autopsy of Jane Doe« that he has a knack for atmospheric horror. In 2020, the second episode of the BBC/Netflix series »Dracula« also told the story of the events on the Demeter and turned out to be the best episode of the miniseries, so the subject can definitely be made into an interesting adaptation.
If all films followed the novel very closely, we would always be told the same story more or less. Instead, each film adds further building blocks to the Dracula-/vampire myth. We are curious to see if and what Øvredal can add to the Dracula story. Without Murnau's »Nosferatu«, the Count would still be a "daywalker" , because in the novel, Dracula does not yet have a deadly sun allergy. Today it's an integral part of the lore that we're all happy to accept. As long as vampires don't sparkle, we are fine 😉.
The other film released today is brought to you by Warner: With »Blue Beetle«, they are adapting a (still) relatively unknown superhero from the world of DC. The movie is about the young Latino Jaime Reyes, who unbeknownst to him comes into possession of an alien biotechnological relic: the scarab! The beetle that attaches itself to his body gives him armor that is nearly omnipotent. While he's still trying to come to terms with his involuntary new powers, others are on the hunt for the silver bullet.
The character of the Blue Beetle from DC Comics has actually been around since the 1930s, while the character Jaime is based on a newer version from the 2000s. Due to the scarab's vast powers, most of the "Blue Beetle" stories are more about Jaime learning to control his armor and, most importantly, his relationship with his family. According to many reviews, this is where one of the film's strengths lies: the Reyes' family dynamics, which some would have liked seeing more of. The actors are convincing, especially Xolo Maridueña in the leading role. Susan Sarandon, on the other hand, receives little praise as the film's rather one-dimensional antagonist. The well-filmed action however is another plus. We are curious if and how Blue Beetle works on screen!

15.08.2023 • KITBASHING WETTBEWERB 2023
The 1/6 hobby certainly starts with a passion for collecting - but that's far from the end of it! For real 1/6 enthusiasts, it doesn't stop at putting the treasures in the Ikea showcase. They stage their little friends in photo galleries and stories, pose them in self-made dioramas or even build their own figures. So-called kitbashing begins with the hunt for individual parts. Bodies, heads, clothing and accessories are combined in new ways. Hair is re-rooted, heads repainted and costumes tailored and 3D printers are now supplying many accessories, which isn't available for sale. This way, very individual figures are created, which can often hold their own against out-of-the-box figures.
Every fall, kitbashers get together in the Action Figure District forum for a competition that is great fun for everyone involved and delivers a diverse output. Whether it's historical figures or someone recreating the Village People (they’ve actually been in the competition before) - creativity knows no bounds.
If that sounds exciting to you, just join us! Since this year, the contest is open for everyone (even if you’re not a member of the forum). Here is the first important information:
https://action-figure-district.de/macht-mit-bei-unserem-grossen-kitbashing-wettbewerb/
Just wait and see, maybe S.P.A.C.E will come up with a little surprise for the winners 😉.

14.08.2023 • POWER-CON 2023
Last weekend the Power-Con took place in the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio, probably the most popular toy convention in America and a Mecca and Eldorado for all MOTU fans, retro friends and action figure collectors! There were a lot of toys to admire, because of course many of the usual suspects were there and presented their collectibles.
Of course, the gigantic Ultimate Cats' Lair from SUPER7 made many »ThunderCats« fans gasp which already made a big buzz at SDCC.
The impressive Sewer diorama for the »Turtles« from NECA is also a great piece - coming soon to pre-order.
Of course, for MOTU enthusiasts, TWEETERHEAD were there and MONDO presented their ever-expanding »Masters of the Universe« line-up in sixth scale, including the huge Panthor (in a regular and a special flocked limited edition).
The FOUR HORSEMEN also provided cool show values with a fantastic »Cosmic Legions« and »Mythic Legions« presentation in the form of gigantic diorama displays with many new alien and fantasy creatures.
The line-up of the »Legends of Dragonore« Wave 1 from FORMO TOYS was on display as well. On top of that, the first figures from Wave 2 were revealed and some self-bred dragons were showcased.
There were also some manufacturers to be discovered that you might not have had on your radar before. Have you ever heard of RAMEN TOY? They showcased a couple of exciting prototypes of MOTU inspired characters (incl. Battle Bones) which would perfectly go along with your MOTU Classics. Whether Mattel will grant a license herefore will be at least as exciting. PREMIUM DNA impressed with their »Battle Toads« series. General Slaughter is a real chunk! If you're a retro fan, you're sure to love the »Gravestone Guardians« by toy designers GARRETT & DARREN SANDER or SAVAGE CRUCIBLE, whose presentation will certainly give many a fantasy fan wet eyes. You should definitely keep an eye on FRESH MONKEY FICTION, who are launching a whole range of exciting series, from cool Santa and Krampus figures to »Operation Monster Force« - a line we're really excited about, as they’re creating numerous figures that are inspired by classic monsters. The toys department behind THE NACELLE COMPANY were there with their super cool »Biker Mice from Mars« action figures. You can pre-order the first wave with all 3 characters in our shop already. Last but not least, we definitely wanted to mention an acquaintance of ours: Eamon O'Donoghue, this time in his role as project manager for Darkwolf, the first action figure for »Fire and Ice«, the cult classic by Ralph Bakshi. This amazing project is realized by the FRAZETTA GIRLS, the daughter and granddaughter of the great Frank Frazetta.
We'll put out feelers and see what we can dig up for you from all these cool collectibles.

10.08.2023 • FROM GAMER TO RACER
Today is going to be fast-paced because »Gran Turismo« is hitting cinemas! The film adapts the video game series of the same name and is based on the life story of Jann Mardenborough who went from gamer to racer.
The young Jann (Archie Madekwe) dreams of a career in motorsports but so far has only been on a virtual racetrack in the game Gran Turismo - until a competition gives him the opportunity to prove his skills behind the wheel.
As much of the film as possible was filmed on actual racetracks with the actors driving themselves while some of the stunts were done by the real Jann Mardenborough. The cast includes some familiar faces such as David Harbour, Orlando Bloom and Djimon Hounsou.
According to first reviews the film, despite some flaws, inspires with passionate acting and great camerawork and offers a good time in the cinema, even for viewers without much knowledge of the game and sport.

09.08.2023 • THE CHANGELING
Yesterday Apple TV+ published a trailer for the fantasy-horror-series »The Changeling«:
https://youtu.be/i3jjAm2dBeo
The show is based on the acclaimed novel of the same name by Victor LaValle and tells the story of Apollo (LaKeith Stanfield) and Emma (Clark Backo) who live an almost fairy tale like life together - until Emma commits a terrible act after the birth of their child and vanishes under mysterious circumstances. On his search for her, Apollo embarks on an odyssey through a bizarre world beyond imagination.
The trailer looks very high-class and lures us in with its atmosphere. We are absolutely pleasantly surprised by the quality of the content that Apple TV+ is delivering and are already excited for this release. »The Changeling« starts streaming on the 8th of September.

08.08.2023 • BIG CHIEF STUDIOS RUNNING ON EMPTY
We don't live in easy times. All the adversities of recent years, starting with Covid, are also affecting the toy/collectibles industry. Founded in Birmingham in 2011, Big Chief Studios has now filed for bankruptcy and is closing production forever.
In their 12 years of work they had primarily concentrated on sixth scale figures from films and series 'made in the UK'. They had their biggest figure output with their »Doctor Who« license but also released other collectibles from the TV shows »Sherlock«, »Peaky Blinders« and »Space: 1999« and from films like »James Bond« and »Flash Gordon«.
Managing Director Mark Andrews explained that after surviving the global pandemic, numerous knock-on effects had brewed into a storm that has resulted in prolonged delays in both the manufacturing and release of BCS products. The current cost-of-living crisis and economic downturn resulted in a drop in sales, which seriously hampered their ability to continue and also prevented them from negotiating the renewal of their key licenses.
Ultimately, it was concluded that the company was no longer able to pay its debts and continue in business, and with a heavy heart they decided to liquidate the company voluntarily.
So, after more than 10 years in the collectibles world, Big Chief Studios is pulling the plug. For us collectors, this also means that long-awaited figures that were still in the pre-order phase will definitely no longer be released, such as the Laurel & Hardy figures that had been announced three years ago.
With Big Chief Studios, one of the rare European manufacturers says goodbye. After they had found their niche with British themes they’re now leaving a gap there and will definitely be missed.

01.08.2023 • PRODUCT OF THE MONTH AUGUST 2023
If you have watched Tobi and Sven in our ABGESPACED episode 28 in February of this year like they were cheerfully playing with the Mario Kart PVC statues by the manufacturer FIRST 4 FIGURES, you probably were able to feel their enthusiasm - and perhaps could even share it 😀!
Some months have passed, the pleasant anticipation on the availability of the Collector's Edition got higher and higher - and soon the wait will be over: besides the regular version, the more extravagant Mario PVC statue in the Collector's Edition from the classic game »Mario Kart« is finally on its way to us. And yes, you are right - we agreed with the most beloved plumber in the world 🔧 back in February already that he will of course be elected as a product of the month as soon as he will rush in 😜.
All pre-ordering customers can take the starting position in the next coming days. And whoever wants to join the race on a short notice still can grab a seat (or a copy of this cool collectible) fast 💨🤩!

01.08.2023 • LOKI IS BACK
Yesterday, the first trailer for the second season of »Loki« was released. It looks damn good and makes us excited for the start of the season on October 6th! Convince yourself:
https://youtu.be/dug56u8NN7g
Apart from the Guardians, neither the last Marvel films nor series could really inspire. Recently »Secret Invasion« bored audiences. The trailer for »Loki« however starts off with a bang. Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Mobius (Owen Wilson) meet Ke Huy Quan, who recently won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in the better Multiverse movie »Everything Everywhere All at Once«. Nice Move, Marvel!
If we can believe the trailer, Hiddleston and Wilson have more screentime together this time, which makes us happy because the chemistry between the two is just right. There’s a reunion with Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) and 'He Who Remains' Jonathan Majors aka Kang also makes an appearance.
It all looks very promising and it's high time that Marvel focused more on quality again, because pure content generation is certainly not going to keep subscribers on board.

31.07.2023 • IT'S TIME TO PLAY A GAME
The »Saw« movies always worked best with John Kramer (Tobin Bell). With the character now deceased, Lionsgate brings us the untold chapter of Jigsaw's most personal game in the 10th part of the series, placing the storyline between the events of Saw I and II.
A desperate John Kramer travels to Mexico to undergo a risky and experimental medical procedure that could cure his cancer, only to discover the entire operation is a scam. There is no question that Kramer takes this very personally and deals with the fraudsters in a creative and perfidious way...
The first trailer for »Saw X« is out now:

28.07.2023 • THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER
»The Exorcist« from 1973 is considered a great classic of the horror genre and a real benchmark against which all later exorcism films have to be measured. Earlier this week, Universal and Blumhouse released a trailer for a sequel, which is set to hit theaters in October. Here it is:
https://youtu.be/PIxpPMyGcpU
The movie was directed by David Gordon Green, who also brought us the last »Halloween« trilogy, which started out quite promising, but then mercilessly bogged down. As with »Halloween«, the film was originally supposed to be called just like the original, »The Exorcist«, but it has been changed to »The Exorcist: Believer«. The film is a sequel to the William Friedkin film and ignores all other parts. Like Jamie Lee Curtis, the female protagonist Ellen Burstyn returns as Chris MacNeil and in the case of the exorcist, a trilogy is planned as well. Let's hope that with so many parallels, the quality of the films doesn't turn into a kind of Halloween déjà vu experience.

The movie was directed by David Gordon Green, who also brought us the last »Halloween« trilogy, which started out quite promising, but then mercilessly bogged down. As with »Halloween«, the film was originally supposed to be called just like the original, »The Exorcist«, but it has been changed to »The Exorcist: Believer«. The film is a sequel to the William Friedkin film and ignores all other parts. Like Jamie Lee Curtis, the female protagonist Ellen Burstyn returns as Chris MacNeil and in the case of the exorcist, a trilogy is planned as well. Let's hope that with so many parallels, the quality of the films doesn't turn into a kind of Halloween déjà vu experience.

27.07.2023 • CINEMA OR SOFA?
Thursday is cinema day! Today, »Talk to Me« is flickering across the silver screens. The debut film by the Australian twin brothers Danny and Michael Philippou triggered a veritable hype from critics. It’s an absolute must-see for the horror fans in the S.P.A.C.E Crew.
The second theatrical release also has something to do with horror, but approaches its subject in a comedic way. We're talking about the second film adaptation of the Disneyland theme park attraction »Haunted Mansion«. A lot of money was put in on stars and effects, but of course that doesn't necessarily make a good film. We don't really feel like it’s worth going to the cinema for but we'll soon be watching the film on Disney+ on a rainy Sunday afternoon on our sofas.
