In the last 20 years, HOT TOYS has developed into the leading manufacturer of licensed 1/6 scale action-figures. Again and again we meet collectors who call themselves HOT TOYS fans. Something other manufacturers can only dream of. You might be a »Harry Potter« fan, but are you a STAR ACE fan? You might love »Game of Thrones«, but are you a THREEZERO fan? It’s an admiration that no manufacturer has as much as HOT TOYS.
But the status as the top dog in the industry must also be defended, because there are other high-end manufacturers who would probably be only too happy to reach for the crown. With INART (QUEEN STUDIOS' 1/6 division) a serious competitor has stepped into the ring. And the fact that all INART figures have previously been released by HOT TOYS or, like Gandalf, in the Crown line by ASMUS TOYS, is interpreted by many observers as a declaration of war, basically saying: "We can do this better than you!"
While we would appreciate a little more originality at INART, as there are still enough pop culture heavyweights waiting for a monument as a 1/6 figure, the saying that competition stimulates business nevertheless seems to be true again. It is probably no coincidence that almost all new HOT TOYS releases are currently being refined with moving eyeballs, an extra that was previously reserved for the DX series from HOT TOYS.
A few days ago, HOT TOYS released updates to the heads of Spider-Man (Tom Holland), Mighty Thor / Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), and Shuri (Letitia Wright) from »Black Panther: Wakanda Forever«. We're seriously blown away by the level of realism. In the case of Mighty Thor, one might argue that real hair would have been even more realistic. But like many other things it's also a matter of taste. For us, HOT TOYS still reigns supreme, even though the air on Mount Olympus has gotten noticeably thinner lately.

14.04.2023 • EVIL IS ON BOARD. POWERFUL EVIL.
Since yesterday, the first trailer for »The Last Voyage of the Demeter«, which Universal is expected to bring to cinemas on August 17th, went online:
https://youtu.be/6FgUUO9Ztd0
The film is based on a chapter from Bram Stoker's novel DRACULA. The Russian schooner Demeter sets sail in Varna on the Black Sea. On board 50 wooden boxes with earth. When the ship arrived in Whitby harbor in a heavy storm a month later, there was no trace of the crew. Only the dead captain, tied to the wheel, was on board. From his log we learn that there was a dark presence on board and the crew disappeared sailor by sailor until finally only the captain remained. As the ship docks in Whitby, a large black dog jumps ashore and disappears. That is what the novel tells...
In the storm at sea no one can hear you scream.
Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau already dedicated a few impressive scenes to the voyage of Demeter in his film »Nosferatu«. In the Universal »Dracula« from 1931, that's a little tighter. The storm was illustrated here with archive footage. The Spanish version showed a bit more of Demeter's voyage and is clearly influenced by the Murnau film.
The inevitability of the situation provides the perfect background for a horror film. In addition, the template leaves enough leeway to fill the gaps in Stoker's story with new life. Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat also recognized this recently, and in their »Dracula« three-part series, they dedicated »Blood Vessel« to the events on the Demeter, probably the best episode of their Dracula interpretation.
»The Last Voyage of the Demeter« was stuck in pre-production hell for over 14 years. At some point, Ben Kingsley and Viggo Mortensen were traded as actors. Neil Marshall (The Descent) was being discussed as a director at the time. Then nothing was heard from the project for a long time until André Øvredal was hired to direct in 2019. After another forced break, this time due to the pandemic, filming finally began in 2021. Above all, Øvredal proved with »The Autopsy of Jane Doe« that he has a knack for atmospheric suspense and seems to us to be the right man for this position. There's also a reunion with a much-loved sailor - Liam Cunningham, whom we know as smuggler Davos Seaworth from »Game of Thrones«.
For all fans of the most famous bloodsucker in literary and film history, the movie is of course an absolute must see. We are happy that Dracula is enjoying a renaissance. In addition to »The Last Voyage of the Demeter«, we're excited for »Renfield«, starring Nicolas Cage as Dracula, and the forthcoming »Nosferatu« remake by Robert Eggers (The Witch). No wonder that various manufacturers like NECA, Iron Studios and especially Kaustic Plastik are continuously treating this exciting topic and giving us great collectibles from it 🥳🦇🧄!

13.04.2023 • S.P.A.C.E POSTCARD COLLECTION APRIL 2023
In keeping with the hype surrounding the video game adaptation THE LAST OF US, this month's postcard comes from the post(card)-apocalypse. The motif with the Clickers in a run down kitchen was captured by Hansi (@sixth_scale_collectibles), who perfectly staged the male Clicker from CC Toys next to his 3D printed female counterpart in a 1:6 scale diorama.
To get to know more about Hansi and his work, check out our last episode of ABGESPACED!

12.04.2023 • KAUSTIC PLASTIK'S HORROR OF DRACULA
The small British film production company »Hammer Films« was founded in the 1930s. When they made the 1955 sci-fi horror film »The Quatermass Xperiment«, they struck gold and revitalized the ailing horror genre.
Their big success came in 1957 with the remake of »Frankenstein«. Up until the 1950s, most horror films (with very few exceptions) were made in black and white. Hammer used Technicolor and especially the color red... blood red almost became their trademark color. What Hammer offered viewers gave the British censorship board a lot of work. Mostly reviled by the critics, viewers loved the films. This was gore like you hadn't seen before.
The experienced TV actor Peter Cushing played the scientist Frankenstein and the hitherto largely unknown Christopher Lee got the role of the monster thanks to his height of 1.96 m.
A year later, the Hammer dream team presented »Horror of Dracula« with Lee in the title role and Cushing as vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing. Lee's Dracula was sophisticated, yet animalistic and a sexual predator. Opposite him stands Cushing, no old scholar and bookworm - no, he is a crusader against vampirism. Just think of the film’s showdown ...
Cushing and Lee became THE horror stars of the '60s and '70s, and Hammer became synonymous with horror.
After Bela Lugosi as Dracula and Max Schreck as Nosferatu, KAUSTIC PLASTIK and INFINITE STATUE AND COLLECTIBLES present Christopher Lee as the third and perhaps most memorable incarnation of the Transylvanian bloodsucker and his fearless adversary Professor Abraham Van Helsing in 1:6 scale!
The figures will be available in a regular and a deluxe version. The deluxe versions each contain two heads and candlesticks. In the case of Van Helsing, the two candlesticks from the legendary showdown scene are included (we are already looking forward to posing these figures). As with its predecessors, the Hammer Dracula also has a comfortable coffin for his rest. For all fans of the Hammer films, this is a blood-red dream come true!

12.04.2023 • THE MARVELS
In the mood for superheroine power? Then you can look forward to »The Marvels«! The sequel to »Captain Marvel« is planned to hit theaters in November and just yesterday MARVEL STUDIOS gave us a sneak peek with the first teaser trailer that looks pretty promising: Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) and Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) seem to be linked in some way, causing them to swap places whenever they use their powers. With the help of Nick Fury (played brilliantly, as always, by Samuel L. Jackson), they must get to the bottom of the matter. It looks like we can be excited for many chaotic and funny moments and of course lots of action as usual. Here you can see for yourself:
https://youtu.be/iuk77TjvfmE
For those who haven't seen it yet, it's probably worth catching up on the »Ms. Marvel« series before then. There's enough time 😅

11.04.2023 • STAR WARS CELEBRATION EUROPE 2023 - ROUND UP
Well, if that wasn't a CELEBRATION on this last Easter weekend in London!?! STAR WARS was really commemorated for four days at the SWCE - and fans on site, but also everyone who couldn't be in London got an Easter basket full of goodies from a galaxy far, far away...
It was pretty clear that we could expect a first trailer for the »Ahsoka« series, the gameplay trailer for the »Star Wars Jedi: Survivor« game and another (and probably final) trailer for »Indiana Jones 5«. However, our expectations were exceeded by miles, because in addition to numerous new pieces of information and clips about the upcoming Disney+ series »The Acolyte«, »Skeleton Crew«, the 2nd season of »Andor«, »Star Wars: Visions« and »Tales of the Jedi « and even the 3rd season of »The Bad Batch«, the breaking news of the weekend was the announcement of three new STAR WARS films!
Yes, we can finally go back to the cinema in the next few years to experience the Force on the big screen! The three confirmed films will be placed on the official Canon timeline, which has been newly communicated. James Mangold takes us back around 25,000 years to the »Dawn of the Jedi« era. Dave Filoni is making his first Star Wars feature film in the "current" time (i.e. the events surrounding »The Mandalorian« or »Ahsoka«). And director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will share the story of Jedi Master Rey Skywalker (of course played by Daisy Ridley) tackling the rebuilding of the Jedi Order (roughly 15 years after Episode IX). Honestly, we have a GOOD feeling about this!
The line-up of stars at Star Wars Celebration Europe also blew us away! It was to be expected that a bunch of actors would be there. In the end, however, almost everyone of distinction in the Star Wars cosmos was there. Only Harrison Ford (who chimed in via video message), Mark Hamill and George Lucas himself were missing. A really great service, especially for the European fans!
In addition to all of the great news, trailers, announcements etc. there were many outstanding, very emotional moments at this con. Above all, Dave Filoni stuck with us. The emotion and appreciation that the showrunner, executive producer and director expressed to the fans was truly heartwarming. Almost in tears, he gratefully took off his cowboy hat in front of the crowd! Just as moving was Hayden Christensen's appearance on the center stage in an interview with Krystina Arielle (who seems to really like Hayden ;)). We found it very touching how Hayden was received and celebrated by the crowd. One could almost say that the Balance of the Force seems to be back - between everyone involved in front of and behind the camera and the fans (including those who were often dissatisfied, whether with the prequels or the sequels). Star Wars connects us all - that's exactly what Star Wars is about.
All in all, one can say that the mood at this celebration was extremely good - at least that's the impression we had (albeit from afar). If you take a look at the interviews, whether with well-known stars like Hayden Christensen or with newcomers like Emily Swallow (The Armorer), or if you let the motivation of Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni sink in, you can feel the positive vibes which probably ran through the whole long weekend. This is the way!
All trailers, clips, interviews, etc. can of course be found on starwars.com and on YouTube - preferably on the official Star Wars channel:

06.04.2023 • THE POPE'S EXORCIST
»The Pope's Exorcist« is starting in cinemas right now.
In this film, Oscar winner Russell Crowe plays Father Gabriele Amorth, the Pope's chief exorcist who is trying to examine a boy's possession. During his investigations, he uncovers a centuries-old conspiracy that the Vatican is trying desperately to keep secret. »The Pope's Exorcist« is based on the personal writings of the real priest Amorth.
The trailer looks solid, even if the film certainly doesn't reinvent the wheel or the crucifix. "Based on a True Story" likely has about the same truth content here as in the "Conjuring" series, but Russell Crowe in a horror movie? That alone is worth a trip to the cinema for us and as a little extra treat Franco Nero (»Django«) plays the Pope!
With this in mind: "The power of Christ compels you!" and merry sprinkling of holy water. Here's the trailer:

05.04.2023 • THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE
The time has finally come: »The Super Mario Bros. Movie«, one of the most anticipated animated films of the year, is hitting cinemas!
The film gives Nintendo fans a chance to see familiar and beloved locations and characters on screen. While working on a water pipe, plumbers Mario and Luigi are sucked into a tube at the end of which a magical world awaits them. Unfortunately, the two are separated on their journey there. Luigi ends up in Bowser's Darklands and Mario, who landed in the Mushroom Kingdom, must now do everything in his power to free him from the villain's clutches with the help of Toad and Princess Peach.
The movie is the result of years of collaboration between Nintendo and the animation studio Illumination (»Despicable Me«). So, 30 years after the 1993 flop, can we finally look forward to a good adaptation of the unlikely hero? First reviews, which are mostly positive, make us optimistic. Even if the film is probably no revelation in terms of story, we can definitely expect great animations, many easter eggs and a detailed depiction of the video games.
So, are you going to be at the movies to see Mario?

04.04.2023 • BLUE BEETLE
Warner is bringing four DC films to the big screen this year: Shazam 2, The Flash, Aquaman 2 and Blue Beetle! BLUE WHAT?! Yes, for us aswell the title or the DC character was rather unknown so far.
The premise of »Blue Beetle« is simple: an extraterrestrial beetle finds its way into the hands of Jaime Reyes (played by Xolo Maridueña) and involuntarily gives him a superhuman armor. Now he must learn to deal with these powers ...
Apparently as a reply to »Secret Invasion«, Warner Bros. released the trailer for »Blue Beetle«:
https://youtu.be/vS3_72Gb-bI
This looks a bit like a mixture of Yellowjacket, Venom and Iron Man and promises plenty of action as well as a good dose of comedy. Could that be the surprising DC hit of the year? We're excited!

03.04.2023 • THIS IS PERSONAL.
After the first appetizer on »Secret Invasion« about half a year ago, MARVEL STUDIOS just dropped the official trailer on the series!
https://youtu.be/Tp_YZNqNBhw
We think that this looks really good! We probably all agree that Samuel L. Jackson is the perfect fit for the role of Nick Fury eversince - but his look in »Secret Invasion« (a blend of "bruised" and "bad ass") shows huge charisma already!
On June 21st, the first of 6 episodes will launch (of course on Disney+) and we are honest: we're lookin' forward to it! What do you think?

01.04.2023 • PRODUCT OF THE MONTH APRIL 2023
Nowadays, there's nothing in the world of licensed collectibles that doesn't exist yet. Every franchise, every topic - no matter if brand-new and currently hyped or pure nostalgia / cult - is being served by and manufacturer ...
... That's what we often think as collectors and actually also we at S.P.A.C.E when walking through our full shelves in the warehouse. The US manufacturer NECA though teached us something better back in September 2021! On the occasion of his 35th anniversary, the first state of the art »Alf« figure was revealed to the world.
bit.ly/sf_pdm_apr23
The fact that NECA signed this license and descided to make such a cool, extremely well done Ultimate Figure was a pleasant surprise for so many kids of the 90's and sitcom fans. The developement and production actually took pretty long - but for it was so clear from the very first moment that Alf, whenever he would arrive, will become a product of the month without any discussion!
Now the time has come and we are extremely lucky that we can ship this figure out to all pre-ordering customers and can even offer it to you from our stock still. As always with the Ultimate Figures by NECA, a lot of great accessories are enclosed. The packaging is a classy box with a fold-out window and you can remove the tray with the content without any problems. The sculpting of Alf, especially his head with the signature curl, came out really fantastic and you will probably not be able to stop smiling when holding the figure in your hands. We say THANK YOU to NECA for this wonderful collectible and we will now watch some Alf episodes ...

31.03.2023 • ALL IT TAKES IS A SPARK
Today, the new science fiction series »The Power« starts on Amazon Prime Video. The show, which is based on the novel of the same name by Naomi Alderman, is about a group of girls and young women who develop the gift of generating electric shocks with their bodies. This power, which reverses the physical power dynamics, has the potential to fundamentally change society. And what starts with just a few individual cases, soon has all-encompassing impacts.

30.03.2023 • DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES
Ever since »Stranger Things«, the pen & paper classic »Dungeons & Dragons« has been on everyone's lips again. So after the rather inglorious film adaptation from 2000, it seemed about time to make another attempt at a live-action adaptation. »Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves« is currently hitting cinemas everywhere!
The trailers that were shown already rocked and that was not only due to Led Zeppelin's »Whole Lotta Love«, which accompanied the trailers perfectly. The wit and chemistry between the heroes, including Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and Sophia Lillis, is right and Hugh Grant is a wonderful villain.
Critics agree: the film is just plain fun, whether you've played D&D and enjoy all the references, or just want to watch a fast-paced fantasy adventure in the best of traditions. This could be the fantasy highlight of the year!
Incidentally, the sympathetic heroes would also make great action-figures. If the film does well, a manufacturer might snap up the license ...

29.03.2023 • THE RANGERS ARE BACK
Did you know that the Power Rangers will be 30 years old this year? The first episode aired in 1993. In keeping with the anniversary, the superheroes are returning for a reunion special: »Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always«!
A few days ago, Netflix released the trailer for the special. It comes in the usual cult trash look and with a decent amount of action. But there are also some familiar faces to be seen for fans of the franchise. Among others, David Yost, Walter Jones and Catherine Sutherland are back as Rangers.
The special starts April 19 on Netflix. You can watch the trailer here:

28.03.2023 • THE LAST OF US PC RELEASE
2023 is undoubtedly the year of THE LAST OF US. Only at the beginning of the year, HBO gave us the series adaptation of the first part of the game and thus ended the curse of the poor cinematic realization of video games. And now the big party continues: After PS5 players already enjoyed the remake last year, it's finally the PC faction's turn! :)
This is sensational, as THE LAST OF US celebrates its (official) premiere on the PC (of course, if you leave out the skillful emulation scene, who conjured up the PS3 version of the game on the PC years ago^^). The groundbreaking classic was considered a Playstation-exclusive title for years before developer Naughty Dog relented.
THE LAST OF US tells the story of the traumatized Joel and his rebellious foster daughter Ellie, who move together through a hostile post-apocalyptic landscape and have to deal with zombified enemies as well as all kinds of human monsters. No less than the fate of the world rests on their shoulders. But is this world really worth saving? Maybe you can answer these and other questions yourself by playing the game ;)
THE LAST OF US is scheduled to be unlocked on Steam today at 16:00.
By the way: We are expecting the arrival of the Ultimate Joel & Ellie 2-Pack from NECA this week:

27.03.2023 • TERENCE HILL: TRINITY SEQUEL
The dream team Terence Hill & Bud Spencer is cult. In fan circles, the movies »They Call Me Trinity« (in the original: »Lo chiamavano Trinità«) and »Trinity Is Still My Name « (in the original: »...continuavano a chiamarlo Trinità«) are considered their best films.
In an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, 83-year-old Terence Hill revealed that he is working on a sequel to his Trinity films. Hill stars and directs the film, titled »Trinità, la suora e la Pistola« (in English: »Trinity, the Nun and the Gun«). Behind "La Pistola" hides Billy the Kid. The film is loosely based on the true story of an Italian nun who emigrated to America at the end of the 19th century and met the legendary outlaw in the Wild West.
Filming will start in the summer of 2023 in Abruzzo, Italy. The film’s release can then be expected in the course of the next year.
We took this message as an opportunity to ask Fabio Varesi from Kaustic Plastik how things are going with the eagerly awaited "Old & Rare" statue and the no less coveted 1/6th scale action figure. According to Fabio, the statue is almost complete and will be on its way around April. That means we can probably expect the shipment of the statue in May. The release of the 1/6 action figure is planned for autumn. All Terence Hill and Bud Spencer collectibles in our shop can be found here:

27.03.2023 • RENFIELD
The first trailer for »Renfield« starring Nicholas Hoult (»The Menu«) in the titular role wasn't quite able to win us over completely, as it seemed like its humor was borrowing too much from »What We Do in the Shadows«. Trailer No. 2 is now more action focused and there's a lot more blood splattering. The lustful overacting of Nicolas Cage as Dracula leaves you wanting more, and from a certain angle in a certain light he even reminds us of Bela Lugosi as Universal's original Dracula. In short, the trailer, beautifully edited and accompanied by Radiohead's »Creep«, captivated us this time. We will be in the cinema for its release eating some garlic flavoured popcorn, just to be safe ;).
