We love the cinema of the 80s! It feels like no other decade has produced so many films with a cult status: »Raiders of the Lost Ark«, »Ghostbusters«, »Terminator«, »Blade Runner«, »Back to the Future«, »Die Hard«, »Star Wars« and many, many others. Heroes like Han Solo, Peter Venkman, Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor, Indiana Jones, John McClane and Marty McFly almost feel like they're old friends - just like Axel Foley, the cop from Detroit, who we are celebrating today, because ...

40 years ago today, »Beverly Hills Cop« hit US cinemas. The story is quite simple. After his old friend Mickey is murdered, Detroit police officer Axel Foley travels to Beverly Hills to track down the murderer. He quickly finds the culprit in businessman and cocaine smuggler Victor Maitland, whom he tries to convict. With his unconventional methods, Axel initially rubs the local police authorities the wrong way, causing chaos in Beverly Hills and entertaining the audience.

Originally, »Beverly Hills Cop« was supposed to be a very different film. Sylvester Stallone was initially considered for the lead role. He wanted a lot more action than the script called for. However, that would have blown the film's budget and Stallone dropped out of the project and made »Cobra« instead. The up-and-coming »Saturday Night Live« star Eddie Murphy got the role of Axel Foley. The script was revised and tailored to Murphy. After »48 Hrs.« and »Trading Places«, »Beverly Hills Cop« marked Murphy's final breakthrough.

Axel Foley was our buddy. You just had to love him, a laid-back guy in a T-shirt, jeans and sneakers who we could identify with. He was no superhero, no muscleman, but instead cheeky, wonderfully disrespectful, bold and clever, basically a charming loudmouth who could talk his way out of any tricky situation.

Murphy's talent for improvisation came into full play here and met the ideal co-stars. The Beverly Hills police officers assigned to him, Det. Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and Sgt. Taggart (John Ashton), are reminiscent of Laurel and Hardy in their best moments. Ronny Cox plays the initially annoyed superior Lt. Bogomil. It's just great to see how the relationship between Axel and his colleagues develops, how they eventually become friends and triumph over the criminals.

The opponents are also perfectly cast with Steven Berkoff as Victor Maitland and his henchman Zack (played by Jonathan Banks, who'll be known to most people as Mike Ehrmantraut from »Breaking Bad«).

Even after 40 years, the film is still a lot of fun and is an example of the great cinema of that time. The film's music plays a big part in this. The »Axel F« title theme by German composer and music producer Harold Faltermeyer is catchy and became an influential synth pop hit of the 1980s. Faltermeyer was even awarded a Grammy for the soundtrack!

»Beverly Hills Cop« got three sequels, »Beverly Hills Cop II« (1987), »Beverly Hills Cop III« (1994) and in 2024, to mark its 40th anniversary, the late sequel »Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F« was released on Netflix. A surprisingly good sequel, we think, with a nice reunion of Axel with Rosewood and Taggart. Alongside Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold and John Ashton, Bronson Pinchot is also back as Serge. Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Det. Bobby Abbott and Taylour Paige as Foley's daughter Jane Saunders fit in very well and Kevin Bacon plays a convincing antagonist as the corrupt Captain Cade Grant.

You can find the first three films on Paramount+, although they really shouldn't be missing from any DVD or Blu-ray collection. You can stream part 4 on Netflix. What's definitely missing, though, are some »Beverly Hills Cop« collectibles. A well made 1/6 scale actionfigure in jeans, sneakers and the iconic Detroit Lions jacket would be awesome, wouldn't it?!

Yesterday, the first two episodes of »Star Wars: Skeleton Crew« premiered on Disney+. Here's our first impression:

The series clearly targets a younger audience, but that shouldn't stop you from giving it a watch. Already, it's far more entertaining than, say, »The Acolyte«. Instead of intergalactic warfare or space-western vibes, this time we get Pirates-of-the-Caribbean-style adventures in the outer rims of the Star Wars universe, complete with an exhilarating spaceship boarding scene in the opening minutes and some very obvious homages to these beloved pirate film series.

The first episode is set, quite atypically for Star Wars, on an Earth-like planet that feels reminiscent of 1950s American suburbs. However, that doesn't detract from the experience, because the galaxy is vast - why wouldn't there be a world with familiar-looking neighborhoods? Especially since this parallel world is peppered with charming details that ground us firmly in the Star Wars universe. In this episode, we meet the four kids who will lead the adventure: Wim, the dreamer; Neel, the somewhat timid but clever one; Fern, the natural-born leader and KB, the techie sporting a Geordi-La-Forge-style visor.

By chance, they discover what at first seems to be a Jedi temple, which turns out to be a spaceship. Before they know it, they're out in space. A hyperdrive mishap flings them far from home. Accompanied on board by the damaged droid SM-33 (voiced by Nick Frost, delivering delightful pirate-style "Arrr"s, and already our favourite character in the series), they unwillingly plunge into adventure and find themselves in the Tortuga of a galaxy far, far away. Here, they encounter Jude Law's enigmatic character, Jod Na Nawood.

We thoroughly enjoyed the series' opening. The visuals are polished and we're eager to further explore this pirate-filled world. The makeup work for the different species is notably impressive, standing in stark contrast to »The Acolyte«, where it sometimes felt more like face painting for kids. We are really excited to see how »Skeleton Crew« will evolve.

Of course, this is a kids' series with children in the lead roles, so Emmy-worthy performances are unlikely. But so far, the four kids have portrayed their characters with charm and wit. Clear parallels to the kids from »Stranger Things« can be drawn, though »Skeleton Crew« doesn't quite reach the same level of artistic or emotional depth.

According to the Chinese calendar, the year 2024 is under the sign of the Dragon. But maybe the Far Eastern calendar officials have to overthink that: if you measure the cultural impact that Sun Wukong had this year, then you can't really help but declare the monkey the animal of the year.

Sun Wukong, the King of the Monkeys, is the main character of the Chinese novel »The Journey to the West« and an inspiration for many Asian artists. For example, the character of the Monkey King served, among other things, as the template for the main character of »Dragon Ball«, and the developer Game Science dedicated their video game »Black Myth: Wukong« to him in 2024 (which we can definitely recommend playing 😀).

Accordingly, your S.P.A.C.E monkey gang has unanimously decided to elevate this action-figure from Four Horsemen to our 💥 Product of the Month 💥 December 2024. The Sun Wukong the Monkey King - Golden Sage version is also part of the Figura Obscura line of the Retailer Appreciation Wave 2 by the manufacturer Four Horsemen Studios.

Wukong will start the journey to the West (or to your collector's rooms) with a lot of accessories, including a total of 4 heads, in an extremely beautiful and high-quality box with a backdrop.

»Moana 2« is hitting cinemas right now.

Originally planned as a series, the title heroine's next mission became another movie instead. In the sequel to »Moana« from 2016, the daughter and successor of the tribal chief of a Polynesian island once again receives a call from her ancestors. Moana must break the curse of a long-forgotten island. To do this, she gathers an unconventional crew of sailors and sets sail with them on a new adventure, on which they meet old and new opponents.

Fans of the first film can look forward to a similarly charming sequel with beautiful animation and a great soundtrack! The trailer gives you a first impression:
https://youtu.be/hDZ7y8RP5HE

We are excited to see what awaits Moana, Maui and Co. on their journey. Will you watch »Moana 2« in the cinema?

Today we want to talk about a series that is currently airing on Sky. We are talking about »The Day of the Jackal«.

The thriller series is loosely based on the 1971 novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth. It is about a planned contract killing of Charles de Gaulle, carried out by an anonymous professional killer and the thwarting of the attack by a police officer. The first faithful film adaptation of the same name was released in 1973, directed by Fred Zinnemann (»High Noon«) with Edward Fox as the Jackal and Michael Lonsdale as his opponent, Inspector Claude Lebel. You can find the film in the WOW and Sky Go program.

Another very loose adaptation dates back to 1997 with Bruce Willis in the role of the Jackal and on the other side Richard Gere, who plays the former IRA fighter Declan Mulqueen. The plot was set in the present day in the US, and the target of the attack is the First Lady. The film received rather bad reviews and was described as shallow, unambitious and absurd.

Now you can watch the material in a series adaptation on Sky. The Jackal is played by Eddie Redmayne, who, miraculously and in contrast to the novel and the first film, has a private life with a wife who has no idea about his machinations. His opponent is the MI6 agent Bianca Pullman played by Lashana Lynch. The target of the attack is a software mogul. The first season consists of 10 episodes and a second season was recently commissioned.

The many European locations are fun, giving the cat and mouse game a lot of atmosphere and sometimes letting a touch of James Bond waft through the TV room. The series always has its best moments when it is close to Redmayne and he is focusing on his target. Unfortunately, the role of Bianca Pullman is not very sympathetic and is portrayed with a girl-boss attitude that is very common in many “modern” films today. When did authors forget how to write good female protagonists? As a result, our sympathies are more on the side of the bad guy. The series is also a bit slow at times. It would probably have done it good to shorten it to maybe 8 episodes. And some things are better left unquestioned. Like the software release that is supposed to be prevented by the attack. It is always claimed that it is aimed at the rich to make their financial transactions and machinations transparent, but the software can be used against anyone.

Despite all these weaknesses, we cannot deny that the series is certainly entertaining and that is primarily thanks to Eddie Redmayne. Here is the trailer:

Are you watching the series? How do you like it?

Like every year, the kitbashing competition was held in the Action Figure District Forum in November. As always, this is a small showcase of the versatility of the 1:6 hobby, which can be so much more than just collecting figures. Why not put together your own figures? It starts with a simple kitbash, where a new figure is put together from various existing parts. Costumes and accessories from other figures are used, but existing ones are also modified, heads are repainted, hairstyles are implanted or heads are modeled and painted completely from scratch. Costumes are tailored and props are made from polymer clay or 3D printed.

The cast of beloved films, TV series or games is expanded to include your own actors. Characters from comics and literature are brought to life, historical figures are researched and recreated or a new story is created.

The kitbashing competition is divided into two parts. The first part, called compulsory, is about presenting the figures against a neutral background in order to look at them from all sides and appreciate details, to present the ideas and showcase the craftsmanship.

The second part is the freestyle. And as the name suggests, everything goes. Whole scenes can be designed, whether you take photos outside, use a backdrop or build an entire diorama, use Photoshop skills, create photo montages and use apps and AI. The figures are presented in various different ways, which once again shows the immense possibilities of the 1:6 hobby and forms a symbiosis with the photographic presentation.

The competition is always a source of inspiration. Many a viewer will exclaim: "Hey, I want to try that out too!" or they will be amazed: "How did they come up with an idea like that?"

In addition to the two regular voting rounds, there are also the "Oscars", where, similar to the eponymous film awards, individual aspects of the work are recognized. For example, the best costume, the best self-made prop or the best posing are awarded. Comparable contributions compete against each other, so outdoor photos against outdoor photos or diorama productions in their own diorama category.

Of course it is a competition and all participants are certainly happy about a good result or even a place on the winner's podium. But ultimately the motto is: it's the taking part that counts! And a work does not have to come in first place to be a source of inspiration.

The winner of the compulsory part was Miri, who sent a whole group of figures into the race. In her entry »Gucky and Friends« she took inspiration from the covers of the Perry Rhodan paperback novels and built the mouse beaver Gucky, the big Haluter Icho Tolo, the Arkonide Atlan, Reginald Bull and of course Perry Rhodan himself. In her freestyle part, Miri turned her protagonists into cover boys, thus taking the topic back to the origin of her idea.

The winner of the freestyle was Dunedin (our Mick) with »Naomi Adventure Girl«. The nice but unspectacular figure came last in the compulsory section, only to really turn it up in the second round. Dunedin sent Naomi on an adventure in the Black Lagoon, where a backdrop seamlessly transitions into a big jungle diorama with a real river. Black Lagoon? Yes, you guessed right: Naomi meets the Gill-man from the Jack Arnold classic »Creature from the Black Lagoon«.

Congratulations to the winners of the competition, all Oscar winners and of course to all participants who took on the challenge of a competition and once again inspired us with their ideas and craftsmanship. Here you can find the outcome of the vote in the compulsory section:

We have a special kind of streaming tip for you this weekend - especially for those who pay extra attention to the music while watching films.

»Music by John Williams« is a wonderful documentary that has been running on Disney+ since November 1st and is absolutely worth a watch. John Williams is without a doubt one of the most famous film music composers in the world, whose music is really inescapable. The awards and honors he has received throughout his career are almost impossible to count. He was nominated a total of 54 times for the Oscar alone (he "only" won it 5 times). Seeing the chronology of his creative work and his impressive career, commented on by many companions such as George Lucas, J.J. Abrams, Chris Columbus and of course Steven Spielberg, makes »Music by John Williams« a touching experience. And when you find out what fate befell him at the age of 42 as a father of three, you have to take your hat off to him twice as much.

At almost 93 years old, John Williams is - thank God - a still living legend. Whether it's »E.T.«, »Jurassic Park«, »Harry Potter«, »Indiana Jones« or »Star Wars« - as Steven Spielberg said so wonderfully: he made the films what they are with his music.

Film anniversaries are always a welcome opportunity for us to get the work in question off the shelf and put it in the player. This week two films are celebrating their anniversaries that we would like to experience once again.

60 years ago yesterday, »Onibaba« by Kaneto Shindō was released in Japanese cinemas. A film that some of you may not be familiar with. So what is this visually impressive black and white film about?

We find ourselves in a civil war in 14th century Japan. While her son Kichi is at war, a woman and her daughter-in-law survive by killing samurai who get caught in the swamp they live in. They sell their victims' armor and valuables to an arms dealer. Then their neighbor Hachi returns from the war and the women learn that Kichi has been killed. The young woman soon begins an affair with her neighbor. The mother disapproves of this and tries to scare her daughter-in-law with a mysterious Hannya mask from a dead samurai ...

The film drama is considered one of the classics of Japanese horror films. It is fairy-tale-like and poetic as well as brutally realistic and shows what war does to people and what poverty forces them to do. The film tells of existential fear, jealousy and betrayal and finds breathtaking images for it. A masterpiece that has lost none of its hypnotic effect even after 60 years. You won't get the reeds blowing in the wind out of your head so quickly. Great cinema! To whet your appetite, here is the trailer:
https://youtu.be/hyYTk8GQyws

A completely different film is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its cinema release in the UK today. We are talking about Sidney Lumet's film adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel »Murder on the Orient Express«.

The famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot travels from Istanbul to London on the Orient Express. When a murder occurs on board the train and the train gets stuck in snowdrifts on the open track in Yugoslavia, Poirot takes over the investigation and looks for the murderer, who must still be on the train ...

The film may be of its time and seems a little slow-moving now and then, but it is a wonderfully old-fashioned film that we always enjoy. The line-up of big names in the all-star ensemble alone makes us shudder in awe every time: Albert Finney, Lauren Bacall, Martin Balsam, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Bisset, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Sean Connery, John Gielgud, Anthony Perkins, Vanessa Redgrave, Richard Widmark, Michael York and more ... what a cast! Ingrid Bergman won an Oscar for her role. Here is the original trailer from 1974:
https://youtu.be/kjSN6hmg2UY

Today we would like to draw your attention to two European horror films that seem very promising.


Last week the Austrian-German film »The Devil's Bath« already started in cinemas. In the main role we see Anja Plaschg, who, as Soap&Skin, should be no stranger to friends of dark musical sounds. Of course, it's not surprising that she also wrote the soundtrack for the film.

»The Devil's Bath« tells the story of a woman named Agnes, who is almost crushed by the constraints of marriage and social life in Austria in the year 1750. The hard everyday life, combined with deep religiosity and the impossibility of breaking out of the given circumstances, ensure that Agnes' state of mind is increasingly darkening and a catastrophe is approaching.

The extremely melancholic and hopeless pictures from the trailer make you want more. In addition, the directors Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala (»The Lodge«, »Goodnight Mommy«) have already proven themselves with their works in the past. For horror fans who have a certain interest in the historical setting, this film should be a no-brainer!

Watch the trailer here:
https://youtu.be/PaGMdANhmrw


On top, we have some French spider horror on offer: In »Infested«, Kaleb, a collector of exotic animals, brings a spider of unknown origin to his apartment. The hairy little animal is characterized by a special aggressiveness and toxicity. Then, of course, what has to happen happens: the animal escapes and soon after, Kaleb's entire apartment block becomes a death trap. 

Judging by the trailer, it seems that »Infested« does not reinvent the wheel: scary animal breaks out. Scary animal kills people. A scenario we have witnessed more often than we'd like to. The positive reviews, however, speak for the film. So it could definitely get its deserved place on the menu of those interested in animal horror.

Here's the trailer:
https://youtu.be/LR-uiy20_zM

»Infested« is hitting German cinemas today.


Which movie are you more interested in?

For our postcard in November, we asked John to lie in wait for a snapshot and lo and behold: he quickly caught Winnie "The Godfather" Pooh and his henchmen Tigger and Piglet in their nasty machinations! What deal are they currently negotiating with Kingpin and Cobra Command 🤔?

You can find the Poohfather 🌹 and many more great toy photos with funny cross-overs on John's Instagram account. And you'll get a free copy of this postcard in every package we send to you in November 📦!

That was unexpected! Yesterday evening the first teaser trailer for the live-action remake of »How to Train Your Dragon« dropped on YouTube. We knew somewhere in the back of our minds that there would be a live-action film, but the trailer caught us pretty off guard.

Visually it is quite impressive. The look of Toothless is particularly nice, since the CGI animators have found a good balance between adopting the original design and at the same time integrating the dragon harmoniously into the real setting. Generally, the remake is in good hands with Dean DeBlois, the director and screenwriter of the animated trilogy, who will also take on these roles here, as well as John Powell, who will once again compose the music. Gerard Butler is also the only right choice for the role of Stoick, to whom he already lent his voice. To what extent (or whether) the makers manage to add any significant added value to the story of the great original remains to be seen. This first preview doesn't show any new scenes. Anyone who has seen the first part of the film series will recognize the images in the trailer:
https://youtu.be/5lzoxHSn0C0

The film will be shown in cinemas next June. What do you think of the trailer?

Over the past few days, film studios and streaming platforms have given us exciting new trailers and previews. Here's a small selection.


SECRET LEVEL

Prime Video has a very special pre-Christmas gift in store for video game fans. The game anthology series »Secret Level« is going to be available on the platform from the 10th of December. It tells rousing stories from the most popular video game worlds such as »Dungeons & Dragons«, »Mega Man«, »Crossfire«, »Warhammer 40,000« and »Sifu«. The episodes are visually distinguished from each other by their individual animation style. Behind the whole idea and realization are the creators of »LOVE, DEATH + ROBOTS«, another anthology series, which was a huge hit. If you're not convinced yet, you can look forward to an interesting cast, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Hart, Keanu Reeves, Ariana Greenblatt, Emily Swallow and many more. Gamer or non-gamer, the trailer causes goosebumps:

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING

Following »Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One«, which was finally released last summer after being delayed multiple times, fans fortunately won't have to wait this long for the sequel »Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning«. The eighth film in the »Mission: Impossible« franchise is set to hit theaters next May. Tom Cruise takes on another dangerous mission as Ethan Hunt after the events of the seventh film and starts his journey to a sunken submarine. It is the key to taking down a dangerous AI entity. The trailer reveals, which risky realms the action hero finds himself in:

DISNEY+ 2025

Last but not least, Disney gave us a preview for the streaming year 2025, which will be especially exciting for those with a Disney+ membership. Some well-known series are getting a new season, including »The Bear«, »Star Wars: Andor« (which is going to be renamed »Andor: A Star Wars Story« for the new season) and »Percy Jackson and the Olympians«. Boredom in the streaming universe certainly won't come up when we look at what's new for 2025. »Ironheart« and »Daredevil: Born Again« from the MCU as well as »Alien: Earth« are guaranteed to make the coming year exciting. Take a look at the preview for yourself:

This summer, just before the San Diego Comic Con weekend, we went to the cinema to watch »Deadpool & Wolverine«. We started the convention weekend well amused and were excited to see what collectibles would be on display in San Diego (or at Sideshow Con) and at the concurrent conventions in Hong Kong at ACGHK and in Shanghai at China Joy from the film we enjoyed so much.

We were sure that Hot Toys would be bringing the two heroes of the film to life. Still, we could hardly believe what we saw. In addition to Deadpool and Wolverine, the line-up also included Ladypool and Kidpool. The figures were completed by Babypool, Dogpool and Headpool as accessories. In addition to the regular and deluxe versions, Wolverine also appeared in a »TVA Jacket« version.
https://www.space-figuren.de/advanced_search_result.php?inc_subcat=1&keywords=deadpool%2B%2526%2BWolverine&filter_id%5B0%5D=8

That was already so much more than we expected and we felt really well served by Hot Toys.

But the 1:6 top dog is now upping the ante! A few days ago, there was a small Facebook teaser in the form of a damn cool reel with Ryan Reynolds. It announced a brand new Deadpool, beautifully weathered, equipped with plenty of accessories and, to top it off, with a second, unmasked head, which looks great!
https://www.facebook.com/reel/1294366441915456

But that's not all! The manufacturer has apparently taken the film's home cinema release as an opportunity to drop even more announcements, that blew us away: Hot Toys is bringing out all four Resistance characters, namely Dafne Keen as Laura, Wesley Snipes as Blade, Jennifer Garner as Elektra and Channing Tatum as Gambit! This is absolutely amazing!!! To celebrate, we put on »Like A Prayer« by Madonna and danced around our desks ...

Now we can hardly wait for the first prototype pictures.
