News

This week, from April 13 to 16, the biggest annual blockbuster cinema business event took place once again at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Hollywood's major studios presented their upcoming projects at CinemaCon, and once again there were quite a few highlights and some spectacular news.
The six panels were reserved for Sony, Warner, Universal, Amazon MGM, Paramount, and Disney. Lionsgate sat out in order to fully concentrate financially on the promotion of their two biggest films this year, »Michael« and »The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping«.
We have picked out the most exciting presentations for you.

SONY
The series of events kicked off incredibly strong on Monday with Sony! Spider-Man and gaming fans in particular really got their money's worth here. A complete scene was shown from both »Spider-Man: Brand New Day« (releasing this July) and »Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse« (June 2027), the third installment of the grandiose Spider-Verse animated film series, and the audience seems to be more than thrilled.
For the gamers among you, probably the most surprising and exciting news is that Sony has teamed up with YouTuber Jacksepticeye as a producer to start working on an adaptation of the game »Bloodborne« as an animated film. Zach Cregger's »Resident Evil« as well as the »The Legend of Zelda« and »Helldivers« adaptations also received updates.
In the horror sector, there was a first trailer for »Insidious: Out of the Further« (https://youtu.be/5BjPq3ygqn8), and further exciting footage and announcements came from »The Social Reckoning« by Aaron Sorkin – the sequel to »The Social Network« from 2010, »Grandgear« – the next but one mecha film by director Takashi Yamazaki (»Godzilla Minus One« and »Godzilla Minus Zero«), as well as the next Jumanji film and Taika Waititi's dystopian sci-fi drama »Klara and the Sun« starring Jenna Ortega.

WARNER BROS.
After Warner's presentation was one of the weaker ones last year, they knocked out one banger after another this time amidst the takeover chaos, where Netflix was outbid by Paramount as a buyer.
Finally the cast of the Lord of the Rings prequel »The Hunt for Gollum« was announced, and alongside director and Gollum actor Andy Serkis, Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Elijah Wood as Frodo, and Lee Pace as Thranduil from the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films are returning. Aragorn, aka Strider, is recast with Jamie Dornan, because Viggo Mortensen unfortunately is not returning. Completely new additions are Leo Woodall as the Dúnedain Halvard and Kate Winslet as a new character named Marigold – who is speculated to be Gollum's mother.
Furthermore, a first 8-minute scene from »Dune: Part Three« was shown, a scene that is being compared online to the Normandy landing from »Saving Private Ryan«.
Warner also gave us a new trailer for »Mortal Kombat II« with Karl Urban (https://youtu.be/zva2PQ-ud5Y).
And then, of course, there was a bunch of news from the DC Universe. Since »Supergirl« launches in June, Milly Alcock, and Jason Momoa dressed as Lobo presented the latest developments. Furthermore, audiences were shown a first, seemingly very disturbing body-horror glimpse into »Clayface«, which is coming out in autumn, as well as the announcement that shooting for the next Superman film »Man of Tomorrow« will start next week.
This was followed by countless other glimpses, such as into »Digger« by Alejandro G. Iñárritu starring Tom Cruise and into »Evil Dead Burn«, as well as announcements for a cinematic film from the »Game of Thrones« universe named »Aegon's Conquest«, an »Ocean's Eleven« prequel, and »Gremlins 3«.

UNIVERSAL
The highlight of the Universal slate was definitely that Ben Stiller's absurd Fockers franchise is finally continuing after 15 years, and this was celebrated with the first trailer for »Focker-In-Law«. Returning in their roles alongside Stiller are Robert De Niro, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo, and Blythe Danner, a new addition is among others Ariana Grande (https://youtu.be/vyISuWUWcFs).
Directors Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan shared a little bit about their two giga-blockbusters »Disclosure Day« and »The Odyssey«, but unfortunately there weren't really many new insights into the film footage.
However, they did show new material from »Minions & Monsters« as well as the first trailers for the horror-comedy »Violent Night 2« and Robert Eggers' new horror film »Werwulf« starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Willem Dafoe. Though, neither of them have found their way onto the internet yet.

AMAZON MGM
The two most important new announcements from the Amazon studio were the title of the new Spaceballs movie, »Spaceball: The New One«, which was introduced with a funny little teaser by Mel Brooks (https://youtu.be/efpL1E_fI3E), and the new Sylvester Stallone biopic »I Play Rocky«, in which Anthony Ippolito will take on the role of Sly. Besides that, there was of course some footage to see from upcoming blockbusters like the highly anticipated and soon-to-be-released »Masters of the Universe«, the »Highlander« remake with Henry Cavill in the titular role, as well as »The Sheep Detectives«. Amazon MGM also announced that they want to run a clear roster of 15 theatrical films a year from now on, somewhat countering the "streaming-only" trend. A thoroughly interesting development for a company that practically instigated the streaming wars.

Especially after the news that the new »Avatar: The Last Airbender« film was pulled from theaters by Paramount to push Paramount+ and has now been leaked in full length six months before release. Speaking of which…

PARAMOUNT
Paramount, which is now generally declared the new big-bad studio, had its panel on Thursday morning, and they primarily announced tons of new installments of their biggest franchises, mostly without concrete key dates or production names yet. For instance, there is going to be a third »Top Gun« film – definitely not unexpected after the gigantic success of »Top Gun: Maverick«. New Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe, Star Trek, and Call of Duty films are also said to be in the works, as well as sequels to »World War Z« with Brad Pitt and to the Sonic and Angry Birds series.
Although we were initially quite skeptical, the »Street Fighter« movie seems to be quite impressive and could be able to compete with »Mortal Kombat II« at the box office; the new trailer is really fun and is so incredibly reminiscent of the arcade game series right down to the color scheme and sound design (https://youtu.be/Xt4X4FvXk2A). There was also a small glimpse into the final installment of the Jackass franchise, »Jackass: Best and Last« which will be released on June 26, and it seems to have gotten quite emotional as Johnny Knoxville paid tribute to the deceased members of the gang.

DISNEY
The two central films of the Disney panel on Thursday evening at the conclusion of the convention were naturally »Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu«, where guests got to see the first 15 minutes of the film, and »Avengers: Doomsday«, where Disney granted guests at Caesar's Palace a first real trailer and thus a first look at Robert Downey Jr.'s Victor von Doom.
Voices from the auditorium report that »Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu« really leans into the space-western genre of the early Star Wars installments and feels like a kind of "coming home". Indeed, the new trailer is really outstanding and increases our anticipation immensely once again (https://youtu.be/uwild1rw7Aw).
The »Avengers: Doomsday« trailer is also highly praised and the descriptions sound like a wild rollercoaster ride through the last 25 years of Marvel. We hope that it will soon be released on YouTube as well and that we can write up some news about it for you here.
Disney offered further exciting news and announcements with »The Devil Wears Prada 2« which will be released this year, 20 years after the first film, »Toy Story 5«, and »Ice Age: Boiling Point«, as well as a trailer for »The Dog Stars« (https://youtu.be/cmzVY1goqwQ).

In addition, the guests at Cinemacon were able to watch the entire new Dreamworks film »Forgotten Island« on Wednesday, and it seems to have been really well received. In the small panel of the Japanese distribution company GKIDS, the audience also got to see the first teaser trailer for the new Toho mega-blockbuster »Godzilla Minus Zero«, which has also been published on YouTube in the meantime (https://youtu.be/n-NDYWPXpKg).

Are you as hyped as we are for the upcoming cinema years?

Following the horror hit »Resident Evil Requiem«, Capcom delivers another impressive game just a few weeks later. »Pragmata« is a sci-fi action-adventure available starting today for Windows, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and the Switch 2. The story revolves around the astronaut Hugh and the android girl Diana. The trailer quickly makes it clear that the two are trying to return to Earth:
https://youtu.be/oncaa_fMsyw

After a severe moonquake, astronaut Hugh loses not only contact with his unit but also consciousness. Luckily, he is discovered by an android girl who repairs his suit and thus saves him from a worse fate. Together, they fight for survival on a crumbling lunar base. To find a way back to Earth, they must overcome the boundaries between digital and physical reality. Their journey increasingly turns into a search for the truth behind Diana's existence and the reasons for the collapse of human civilization on the moon.

Are you already looking forward to »Pragmata« and this unlikely duo?

Thursday is movie day! This week, we're seeing three new films in theaters:

Bob Odenkirk is best known to us as the shady lawyer Saul Goodman from »Breaking Bad« and »Better Call Saul«. With the film »Nobody«, he switched to the action genre – and clearly enjoyed it. In his new flick, »Normal«, he plays Sheriff Ulysses, who takes a temporary position in the sleepy little town of Normal. A botched bank robbery shatters the town's deceptive tranquility, and Ulysses discovers: nothing here is "normal" at all…

22 years after »Kill Bill: Vol. 2«, the Bride's revenge story returns to theaters with »Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair« – the film Quentin Tarantino originally envisioned: both parts combined, with a runtime of a whopping 4 hours and 13 minutes. The fight with the Crazy 88 is in color this time, and the animated sequence has been expanded. Epic! A work for the big screen – the really big screen!

In »Lee Cronin's The Mummy«, »Evil Dead Rise« director Cronin approaches the mummy subgenre from a different angle. A journalist's young daughter vanishes without a trace in the desert. Eight years later, she returns, drastically changed. What should have been a joyous reunion turns into a nightmare. We're definitely hooked and want to uncover the mystery.

Which film is luring you into the cinema this week?

Good news for all Sylvester Stallone and Rocky fans: you can now find products from the Sly Stallone Shop here with us!
https://www.space-figuren.de/Sly-Stallone-Shop:.:648.html

For some time now, the Sly Stallone Shop and the creative team around Fabio Varesi at Kaustic Plastik and Infinite Statue and Collectibles have closely collaborated on statues and action figures.

The Italian wholesaler Cosmic Group, closely associated with these two brands, has now taken over the exclusive distribution of Sly Stallone Shop products, which previously were only available in the US, for Europe.

In our shop, you can already find Rocky in 1:6 scale from »Rocky IV« in three variations – and from the same film, an impressive 1:10 scale diorama statue depicting Rocky in the final battle as he triumphs over Ivan Drago.

Also very cool and totally wearable is the detailed replica of the hat Sylvester Stallone wore in the first »Rocky« movie.

And that's just the beginning – we're already very excited about the upcoming collectible figures, statues, and props dedicated to Sly's films! Which Stallone collectibles would you like to see?

After we saw the teaser for »The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping« last November, exactly one year before its theatrical release, the first full trailer was released yesterday – and it's really exciting:
https://youtu.be/CINFIAohu4U

The film takes place 24 years before the events of the first installment and tells the backstory of Haymitch Abernathy (played by Joseph Zada), whom we know from the main series as Katniss and Peeta's mentor. He is chosen as a tribute for the 50th Hunger Games, the second Quarter Quell, in which twice as many tributes as usual must participate to fight to the death.
»Sunrise on the Reaping« is the adaptation of Suzanne Collins' prequel novel of the same name from her dystopian book series, which was only released in March 2025.

The teaser already fueled anticipation for the film months ago, and the epic trailer only heightens it. The almost unrealistically beautiful arena is visually stunning and, in contrast to the deadly dangers it harbors and the brutality of the games, seems almost macabre. The casting also looks promising – alongside Zada, Elle Fanning and Ralph Fiennes appear as younger versions of Effie Trinket and President Snow. Until then, we'll have to be patient, as »Sunrise on the Reaping« will be released in theaters this November! Are you looking forward to it?

Prime 1 Studio's Next Level Showcase XVII went live on Friday. It featured a diverse range of new releases, with a focus on anime and game figures.

The show kicked off with the presentation of seven new anime figures: the LOVE IS OVERFLOWING 1/5 Scale Statue based on an illustration by artist necömi, a powerful 1/4 Scale Statue of ZODD from »Berserk«, and two impressive Non Scale Statues from »Attack on Titan«: EREN YEAGER ATTACK TITAN and REINER BRAUN ARMORED TITAN.

Anime fans who prefer something a bit larger might be interested in MOTOKO KUSANAGI from »Ghost in the Shell« – an incredible 1/1 Scale Statue, standing a proud 174 cm tall including its base. MOTOKO KUSANAGI, along with TACHIKOMA, was also part of the next new release, appearing in the new series »The Legend of Beauty and the Beast«. The 1/4 Scale Statue is based on designs by Japanese artist Entei Ryu – a fabulous piece that will appear in two different color schemes.

Next, hosts Shizuka Anderson and Dante Carver presented three DC Comics releases: an impressive THE RIDDLER ALL IN ONE 1/3 Scale Statue from the Batman comics, a wonderfully bizarre THE BATMAN WHO LAUGHS & ROBIN KING statue from »Dark Nights: Death Metal« in the same scale, and a BATMAN FINAL SUIT Non Scale Statue.

Other comic-based statues included the dynamic B 1/4 Scale Statue from »BRZRKR«, the comic written by Keanu Reeves and Matt Kindt and illustrated by Ron Garney – a scene, dramatically frozen, complete with plenty of spurting blood. Based on an »Aliens vs. Predator« cover by Dark Horse, a magnificent MACHIKO & BROKEN TUSK PREDATOR 1/4 Scale Statue was also unveiled. Finally, the only movie collectible of the event was presented: a 1/3 Scale Statue of the ELDER PREDATOR from »Predator 2«.

With a total of eleven new releases, the gaming section dominated the event. It started with four figures from games in classic anime style: KANESHIYA SITARA from »Alice Gear Aegis« in 1:5 scale, as well as DOROTHY – NOSTALGIA from »Goddess of Victory: Nikke«, HULKENBERG from »Metaphor: ReFantazio«, and ANN TAKAMAKI "PANTHER" from »Persona 5« – all in 1:4 scale.

Staying with this scale for now: CAMMY from »Street Fighter 6« presents herself as sexy and dangerous in her classic costume. IVY from »Soulcalibur VI« also shows plenty of skin – you can already find her listed for pre-order in our shop.

Two impressive pieces that can be combined are the SHELL WALKER and ALOY in her Carja Shadow Outfit from »Horizon Forbidden West«.

And finally, the biggest highlight of this showcase: three 1/4 Scale Statues from »The Last of Us Part I« – JOEL, ELLIE, and BLOATER, which can be combined to create a highly dramatic and immersive scene.

After this Next Level Showcase XVII, many a piggy bank is likely to be feeling the pinch.

Guys, the Star Wars anniversaries really make us realize how fast time flies:

Last year, the Sith exacted their revenge for the twentieth time, and the Force awoke for the tenth year running. By the end of this year, it will be a whole decade since the Rogue One crew first embarked on their secret mission, and next year, our beloved galaxy far, far away will actually celebrate its 50th birthday with the anniversary of »A New Hope«!

But… today we raise a glass to the most important anniversary of all: SABERPROJECT is turning 20!

Congratulations to Tim, and of course to the entire Team Saberproject! Have some drinks and enjoy a stunning birthday celebration at OUTPOST ONE today! The whole S.P.A.C.E Crew wishes you at least 20 more successful years – may the Force be with you!

Today we'd like to introduce you to an exciting YouTube find: a chronicle of the legendary Death Dealer by the equally legendary artist Frank Frazetta.

When Frazetta painted the Death Dealer in 1973, he created one of the most recognizable icons of fantasy art. Hardly any other motif conveys such impressive dark power and mysterious allure: the menacing, axe-wielding figure on horseback, the glowing red eyes that seem to pierce deep into the soul of every viewer.

The Death Dealer quickly took on a life of its own and left a distinct mark on pop culture. On the official Frazetta Girls YouTube channel, Sara Frazetta, the artist's granddaughter, tells the fascinating story of the painting and goes on a quest to uncover its origins. It's well known that the Death Dealer appeared on cover illustrations and in comics – but did you know that it even became the symbol of a US Army unit? Many details of this Death Dealer biography might surprise you.

Watch the video here:
https://youtu.be/6IaHnVYSEpk

Frank Frazetta and his Death Dealer have long since achieved cult status in the world of collectibles as well.

Icon Collectibles by Frazetta Girls is dedicated to the master's works with great passion – and of course, the Death Dealer is a must-have. He is currently available as both a retro-style action figure and a 1:6 scale statue:
https://www.space-figuren.de/Icon-Collectibles-by-Frazetta-Girls:.:623.html

The sinister rider also appears as an action figure in Harvinger Studios' Savage Crucible series:
https://www.space-figuren.de/More/Savage-Crucible/Death-Dealer-Savage-Crucible::29187.html

Another impressive 1:6 scale version comes from Quarantine Studio – and we even have it in stock:
https://www.space-figuren.de/Comics/Others/Death-Dealer-3-Statue-Frank-Frazetta::20592.html

The iconic image of the mounted Death Dealer was previously released as a statue by Dark Horse. Equally legendary are the 1:6 scale collectible figures resulting from the collaboration between TBLeague and Executive Replicas. While these products are already sold out in our shop, resourceful toy hunters and fantasy enthusiasts might still have luck on the secondary market.

The 2019 horror-comedy »Ready or Not« came to a satisfying, well-rounded conclusion. There was really nothing more to add; the film could easily have stood on its own. But as we all know, in Hollywood, a success always begets a sequel. And so, »Ready or Not 2: Here I Come« is now hitting theaters.

The film picks up immediately after the finale of its predecessor: Samara Weaving as Grace sits on the steps of the burning mansion in a blood-soaked wedding dress, smoking a cigarette – exhausted, but alive.

The trailer already reveals that the deadly game of hide-and-seek is entering its second round:
https://youtu.be/Ji5JKwn8Zpc

This time, Grace is being hunted by the families of the Council. When she refuses to play along again, the hunters threaten to murder her sister, Faith (Kathryn Newton). Together, the two women must fight for their survival…

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the team behind Radio Silence, return to direct. While the world certainly wasn't waiting for a sequel, the film promises entertaining, fun splatter with a stylistically assured bloodbath. Add to that a remarkable cast: alongside Weaving and Newton, the film features Elijah Wood, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and David Cronenberg – names that alone pique one's interest.

Today's the day: The fifth and final season of »The Boys« premieres on Prime Video!

At the end of season 4, Homelander seized absolute power, controlled the White House, and declared the age of superheroes. While Butcher escaped with the virus that is deadly to superheroes, the remaining Boys tried to leave the country, but were captured. Only Annie, aka Starlight, managed to escape. At the end of the second season of »Gen V« she recruited Marie and her group for the resistance.

The trailer for season 5 shows that under Homelander's rule, the USA has transformed into a totalitarian regime. Political opponents are hunted down by patriotic superheroes and imprisoned in so-called Freedom Camps – concentration camps. Since the Boys reappear reunited in the trailer, it's likely that the season begins with an attempt to free the imprisoned members.
https://youtu.be/XNQbH1SDPRk

Homelander is more insane than ever and now sees himself as a god. Everything is set up for the ultimate showdown!

But: Series creator Eric Kripke is putting the brakes on a bit. There won't be a gigantic final battle like in »Game of Thrones« – the budget simply isn't sufficient. Nevertheless, we can expect plenty of action, blood, and moral madness, the kind only »The Boys« can deliver.

Two episodes premiere today, followed by a new episode every week until the grand finale on May 20.

And don't worry: The »The Boys« universe lives on! After »Diabolical« and »Gen V«, the next spin-off, »Vought Rising«, is already in the starting blocks – starring Jensen Ackles' Soldier Boy. Furthermore, the international spin-off »The Boys: Mexico« is in development.

As we wrap up for the day, we have a quick update that should be of particular interest to our 1/6 scale collectors:

The arrival of our current container from Asia, which has been en route for weeks, is unfortunately delayed by another two or three weeks, it seems. This is due to various global challenges, but primarily the ongoing war in Iran. At least, that's what the shipping company told us.

Let's hope that the newly communicated arrival date of April 18th at the port will be the final one. Then, of course, the whole thing will have to go through customs, etc. – the usual process.

Of course, we'll keep you updated as best we can. Thank you for your continued patience!

Maul recites this perversion of the famous mantra of the Guardians of the Whills from »Rogue One« ("I am one with the Force and the Force is with me.") in the new TV spot:
https://youtu.be/r200teyLvI0
This line perfectly captures what we can expect from the new animated series »Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord«, which premiered yesterday on Disney+: It's going to be incredibly dark.

The initial trailers have already made it abundantly clear that this is not a kids' show. While »The Bad Batch« still somewhat maintained a balance between humorous and tragic elements, the team led by Star Wars series mastermind Dave Filoni and writer Matt Michnovetz (»Clone Wars«) seems determined to fully capitalize on the fact that Disney+ no longer exclusively offers family-friendly content. We find Maul at rock bottom: abandoned by the Empire, he is doing everything in his power to rebuild his crime syndicate. The action is phenomenally choreographed, and the gorgeous animation style strikes a perfect balance between near-horror-like sequences and the »Clone Wars« abstraction that has become iconically intertwined with the Star Wars universe.

Of course, Sam Witwer returns as Darth Maul's voice in the English original with a wonderfully dark, vicious, complex, and daring performance.

From now on, two new episodes will be released weekly on Monday, leading up to the grand finale right on MAY THE 4TH.

Watch the bombastic trailer again here:

Grogu is already practicing his Easter egg hunt before he and Mando are soon going to hit the big screen! 🎬 He made a very special discovery in the Outer Rim and proudly shows off his find. 🥚✨ Whether it's a rare Exogorth egg or just chocolate remains his secret – the Azellans certainly seem impressed! 🛠️💫

The S.P.A.C.E Crew wishes you a happy Easter, relaxing holidays, and of course, a successful Easter egg hunt 🐣 in your very own galaxy. 🌌🚀

Hey MOTU fans, can you feel the magic of Castle Grayskull spreading and the lava around Snake Mountain getting hotter and hotter? No wonder – with this epic trailer for the »Masters of the Universe« movie hitting us earlier this week...

But to top off this exciting week for us collectors, we're getting the icing on the cake, because starting today you can order the first figures from the movie with us!

We've been reporting on MATTEL's announcements in recent weeks, especially after the Nuremberg Spielwarenmesse and the New York Toy Fair. In the meantime, it's also been confirmed that there will be movie figures within the "Origins line". Of course, role-playing items, replicas, and various other collectibles will also be added. But today, we're especially excited about the pre-order listing for wave 1 of the "Chronicles Line" and the first products from the "Kids Core Line":
space-figuren.de/motumovie

The official street date is Saturday, April 25th. Let's assume that we will load and send out all available Wind Raiders from the Eternian Post in time for you to receive your orders by that date!

Heads up, this is no April Fool's joke: »The Super Mario Galaxy Movie« hits theaters today! After Mario (Chris Pratt) and his brother Luigi (Charlie Day), along with Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Toad (Keegan-Michael Key), defeated the tyrannical Bowser (Jack Black), new villains are entering the scene. This time – as the title suggests – the journey leads to distant galaxies and wondrous new worlds.

Nintendo veterans and fans of the »Super Mario« franchise will immediately recognize which titles the producers drew inspiration from. In addition to the obvious influence of »Super Mario Galaxy«, elements from »Super Mario Odyssey«, »Super Mario Bros. Wonder«, and »Super Mario Sunshine« are also woven in. From the last game mentioned comes one of the new, dreaded antagonists: Bowser Jr. with his magic paintbrush. The introduction of Yoshi as a loyal companion is especially exciting. In fact, many more characters are joining the cast – even from the very oldest classics. To get you hyped, check out the trailer here:
https://youtu.be/LX9kXRRJlPw

This is going to be a blast for the whole family! What do you guys think?

We immerse you to 16th-century Japan, where the fearless shinobi assassin Naoe lurks in the shadows. Trained in the arts of stealth and combat, she seeks revenge after Oda Nobunaga's forces attacked her village in Iga Province. Her father perished during the invasion, and she vows to make the ruthless warlord pay for his actions. On her quest for vengeance, she encounters Yasuke, a follower of Nobunaga who was involved in the attack on her home. To her surprise, however, he saves her life. Foes become allies, found caught in a power struggle far greater than they initially imagined. ⚔️

Over time, Naoe learns more about the legacy of her parents, who belonged to a secret Brotherhood of Assassins. Furthermore, she becomes entangled in the dark machinations of the Templars. Now, it is not only a matter of seeking retribution against Nobunaga but also of dismantling Templar networks across Japan and reclaiming the stolen artifacts her parents once protected. Accordingly, with »Assassin’s Creed Shadows« as the latest installment in the video game series, you will experience both a bloody era of upheaval and two moving individual destinies that are deeply intertwined.

Coinciding with the video game's launch in March 2025, Pure Arts announced the 1/8 Animus statues line, which features protagonists from the AC universe such as Naoe and Yasuke, Ezio, Altair, Eivor, Kassandra, and many more. These PVC statues immortalize the moment when the digital present of Abstergo technology merges with the historical past. To bring them to life, the manufacturer has equipped these anomalies with an impressive LED effect. Two USB ports on the base allow the statues to be powered and connected to one another, so only a single outlet is needed to make the entire collection glow. Just imagine this sight on your shelf – incredible! 🤯

The 1/8 Naoe Animus PVC statue highlights the contrast between past and present: while the shinobi holds her dynamic Ko-Gasumi combat stance on a castle roof, the characteristic Animus effect erupts at her side. Thanks to the LED lighting, this transition is spectacularly showcased. Although the 1/8 scale statue may seem compact at first, its textures and paintwork rival those of larger high-end collectibles. The details are not only faithful to the game but also executed with precision and vibrancy. To honor such a fascinating line of statues, we have chosen Naoe as our 💥 Product of the Month 💥 April 2026.

We are certain: »Assassin's Creed« fans will find it hard to resist these gems! ✨

Besides the new »Masters of the Universe« trailer, which was freshly projected onto screens from Eternia yesterday, DC Studios / Warner served up a hefty dose of kryptonite for breakfast. Here's the new trailer for »Supergirl«, which also hits theaters in June:
https://youtu.be/s1-pfiVMKAs

We think the trailer lives up to the film's title: SUPER! Milly Alcock shows a completely different emotional side here, and the atmosphere we're getting is truly interesting and more complex than in the first clip.

The movie's collectibles will be just as exciting. We're already thrilled about the 1/6 scale Kara Zor-El and Lobo figures by Hot Toys. But McFarlane Toys is kicking things off! To coincide with the trailer release, they dropped a short action figure showcase of their Supergirl movie bundle (including Lobo's Spacehog bike) on social media:
https://youtu.be/M1Mz_nh4CQU

Of course, these and many more products from the movie will soon find their place in the S.P.A.C.E figure universe. 😜

Amazon MGM Studios has just released the new and presumably final »Masters of the Universe« trailer:
https://youtu.be/X21JsHLHnY8

Compared to the first teaser, this clip is significantly more dramatic and epic. Nicholas Galitzine makes a really good impression on us as Adam / He-Man, so our Crew's excitement for the release in early June has increased even more.

What about you? We think this looks like at the very least like an awesome, really fun popcorn movie. We're very excited!

Oh, and how cool is Cringer in the MGM intro?! 😂👍

Last weekend, WonderCon 2026 took place at the Anaheim Convention Center in California. The main attraction of the event was the diverse array of vendors selling vintage comic books, action figures, and DVDs. There was also an "Artists Alley" where primarily comic artists offered their work, signed books, and created sketches. Panels on film, TV series, and geek topics rounded out the program. As always, a highlight was the many cosplayers who had clearly put a lot of work into their costumes and performances.

WonderCon is organized by Comic-Con International, but it's less glamorous than its summer sister event in San Diego. The biggest names from Hollywood are nowhere to be found here. Collectible giants like Sideshow and NECA will also be presenting their programs in San Diego in July. As a result, WonderCon is always a bit more relaxed. It's the event for comic book collectors and toy hunters.

From a distance, such a trade fair – spectacular cosplays aside – might not seem particularly interesting at first glance. However, that doesn't mean there's nothing new to discover. For example, we stumbled across Plastic Meatball, a manufacturer we hadn't even heard of before. We were quite surprised by the two cult licenses we found there. In the classic 3¾-inch format, there were figures from »Time Bandits«, a film that has received little attention in the collectibles market so far. Besides some of the bandits, Evil Genius, Robin Hood, King Agamemnon, and the Minotaur were also on display – all in the charming retro style of the legendary Kenner figures.

We liked the action figures from »Labyrinth« even better, including the iconic goblin King Jareth in two variations, Sarah in everyday clothes and a white ball gown, as well as Toby, Sir Didymus, Ambrosius, a goblin, and our favorite, Ludo. Here's a short booth tour that we found on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/dRuqwoM6pWA

It's hard to believe that »Labyrinth« is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. When the film was released in 1986, it initially flopped at the box office. But goblins are long-lived and incredibly resilient: Through video releases and TV broadcasts, the film transformed into a true cult phenomenon. To mark the anniversary, there was a brief re-release of the restored 4K version in early January – but only in selected cinemas, so probably not many fans had the chance to see it on the big screen. »Labyrinth« was originally released in Germany on December 11th. Wouldn't it be fantastic if it were to return to cinemas on that date?

There are also plans for a long-awaited sequel. None other than Robert Eggers will be directing. We can certainly look forward to what this visionary filmmaker will conjure up.

We're incredibly excited for the upcoming Jareth 1/6 scale figures from the Maestro line from Kaustic Plastik. It's going to be something truly spectacular! Pre-orders won't be long now.

This also brings us full circle to the convention theme, because in July, we're sure to see more amazing surprises and exciting new releases from the Italian manufacturer at Comic Con in San Diego. We'll have the popcorn ready!
