So, what would you like - the red or the blue pill? The choice is yours ;)

With a bang of 1.21 gigawatts, HOT TOYS put up a or actually two - no, great scott, precisely THREE - blasts for all »Back to the Future« fans and collectors during their »Retro Sapiens« weeks:
A brand-new 1/6 Doc Brown - in two versions, as well as a re-issue of the 1/6 Marty McFly, but this time in a set with Einstein!

Both Doc Brown versions (MMS609 and MMS610) can already be found on our website! The Marty set seems to be some sort of exclusive. So we are not sure yet if or in what quantities we will have access to it. Please keep an eye on our shop and pre-order fast if you want to secure one piece for you.

We are so happy about these new announcemets, because a new BTTF collectible by Hot Toys simply was overdue since a long time. How cool would be a Biff as another addition - or Lorraine?!

Matching to this topic, we also have a stream recommendation for y'all: since a couple of weeks, the docu »Myth & Mogul« about John DeLorean and the story about creating the cult car is up on NETFLIX It's worth tuning in!

Lucasfilm just dropped the trailer of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars Disney+ Originals Special »Terrifying Tales« which will start streaming on October 1.

We're pretty sure that this is the perfect choice for Halloween night at home for every Star Wars LEGO fan out there. But before you tune in, you should really ask yourself this one decisive question:
Are you afraid of the Darth?

A new month of cinema has started - and that's a good one! This is our top 5 for September:

1. Dune
After the trailers we are sure: Denis Villeneuve's film is going to be epic and will join the gallery of legendary sci-fi movies.
Start: 16.09.

2. No Time to Die
Often postponed, eagerly awaited - soon finally on the big screen: Daniel Craig gives us his Bond for the last time.
Start: 30.09.
https://youtu.be/FREBR6FH1rg

3. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
The trailer look promising - so sound the first reviews. And "Marvel" is a must for the S.P.A.C.E crew anyway. So it surely is for you - kicking-off today!

4. Malignant
James Wan has shown more than once that he can do horror. We are excited!
Start: 02.09.

5. Don't Breathe 2
It is time to hold your breath again.
Start: 09.09.

For our product of the month September, we're going on a journey to Middle-Earth, my precious, to look for the One Ring...

On our way we are of course encountering Frodo and Gollum - or to be more specific, the brand-new SDCC Exclusive »Journey to Mordor« Box Set by DIAMOND SELECT TOYS!

In this stunning deluxe set you are getting the two "LOTR Select" figures including accessories, packed in a very noble box which is immitating the Book of the Westmark. This precious is limited to 4,000 pieces worldwide only - so you better don't wait too long, or nasty orcses will come and grab them...

Right on time for the last of the month, our August episode of ABGESPACED - NEUES AUS DEM FIGUREN UNIVERSUM 🚀 went online on YouTube today!

The beautiful thing on episode 12 - apart from the wonderful and mostly brand-new collectibles - is our team mate Andrea who joined ABGESPACED for the first time in front of the camera. The ugly thing though were the partially mean sound fails on her microphone. That was really annoying and almost killed our nerves during the cutting and sound editing process. You probably can imagine us raging about the partially crappy sound quality...

Still we did not want to cancel this episode without any substitution and so we hope that you will still be enjoying it. For the worst case, just cover your ears from time to time 😅:

Today, all STAR WARS fans will get served another little intergalactic bite which will help survive the waiting-time on the next show (The Book of Boba Fett...?) better - of course if they have a Disney+ subscription.

Because from today, the next »Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian« episode is available on demand. This time, it's all about the spectacular season 2 finale of which we surely will get an extense look behind the scenes.

In this clip, the genius and extremely sympathic maker Dave Filoni has the word and invites us all to stream along!

Not we, actually, but Stephen and Peter - in the brand-new teaser trailer on SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME:

There's a lot going on, folks... 😎🕸️

Holiday Weeks Deluxe among the S.P.A.C.E Crew!

Starting this week, only about one third of our staff will be on duty, due to summer holidays. We kindly ask you for your understanding if our telephones might endlessly ring or if e-mails might need a couple of days to get answered.

Here in Bavaria, the summer school holidays are still lasting until 7th September. So we will unforunately be significantly understaffed - but everyone needs a holiday sometimes and we're convinced that also the S.P.A.C.E Crew deserves it 😊.

NETFLIX has released the trailer for the brand new CGI children's series »He-Man and the Masters of the Universe« - and of course has confirmed the launch date: from September 16, there will be new material for all MOTU fans - and especially the youngsters of Eternia!

As an aged, adult MOTU fan who experienced a formative phase of his childhood with the Filmation series, you have to let the whole thing take effect for now. Of course, it could be that this style will pick up today's kids. We are excited - not only about the series, of course, but also about the toys that Mattel will bring out...

Here comes the final trailer on Marvel Studios' ETERNALS:

Finally more story, finally more action. We are excited for November 4th 😀!

It's Thursday - time for new movies! Today, »Snake Eyes - G.I. Joe Origins«, which basically is within our interest, is hitting cinemas. However, if the critics are to be believed, the film seems to be a first-rate bugger.

The very successful »Escape Room« from 2019 starts today with its sequel. Maybe it will attract one or the other to the cinema, but here you could probably also wait for the stream.

On the other hand, we have highlighted »Promising Young Woman« on the calendar. The film, which can definitely be assigned to the "rape and revenge" genre, was nominated for five Academy Awards and won the Oscar for best original screenplay! The trailer already shows how terrific the whole thing is. Carey Mulligan is fantastic, and after the impressive directorial debut of actress Emerald Fennell, we're sure to keep her on the radar. No popcorn cinema awaits you here, but definitely a really good movie.

Even though this announcement was released already a couple of days ago, we think that these news from the brand »Quantum Mechanix«, a more and more ambitious manufacturer from the US, is definately worth mentioning - especially for all MOTU fans among you:

QMx was able to sign a »Masters of the Universe« license deal with MATTEL, actually for the meanwhile very popular Fig line! If you didn't come across the Q-Fig collection yet, you can check it out on our website. At least all Funko collectors among you have to click 😆.

We think that this is very exciting, because it's surprising that MATTEL actually re-opens the gates to Castle Grayskull for other manufacturers - but surely in a positive sense! Let's hope that QMx will have to power (and show the efforts) to release really cool MOTU Q-Figs to the market. Of course you will be able to get them through us - but probably not before 2022...

Cobra Kai never dies - the battle for the soul of the Valley takes the next round!

After the furious 3rd season, NETFLIX recently released the first teaser on season 4 of their hit series »Cobra Kai« - and this totally kicks 😃.

Finally, we can also look forward to collectibles: the first three characters have been announced as action-figures by Diamond Select Toys. Of course you can already find them listed for pre-order on our website 💪.

Did you miss the cinema as much as we did? For this we will be remunerated royally this month, because after all the Corona-related postponements, one theatrical highlight is now chasing the other. So today, the eagerly awaited »Free Guy« starts, starring Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer and Taika Waititi.

Already the trailers made us want to see the flick, which will not only be a festival for gamers. As always, Reynolds burned off a veritable firework of funny clips in his social media channels in advance. All his promo appearances in talk shows drove our expectation thermometer to the limit and the film also got a fresh score of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes in the reviews score well.

We wish you a lot of fun at the movies and all gamblers a lot of pleasure discovering all easter eggs!

August 11, 2021 will mark another milestone in the history of the MCU! The animated series „What if...?“ starts on Disney+ today - and it raises a number of questions, such as "what exactly is that?", "is the series part of the MCU" or "what if..." 😇.

The watcher Uatu, a mystical and all-seeing being, tells us of events from different universes of the Marvel cosmos. So one of our initial questions has already been clarified: yes, the series is part of the MCU. It is not only included there, but also has an impact on future events.

Let's imagine what if Peggy Carter got the super serum instead of Steve Rogers? Or what if Tony Stark and other Avengers candidates had been knocked out before the union?

This and much more „what if...?“ approaches make us really excited about tonight! Because one question changes everything...

The S.P.A.C.E Postcard Collection was enriched for August once more with a wonderful goofy and this time especially nostalgic design! It comes from the creativ source of Marco who you can follow on Instagram under @stan_qbrick.

Animal from the Muppet Show was raging around in Marco's little kitchen and obviously failed miserably while trying to prepare himself a cereal breakfast... Oh oh - the total escalation is near 😲!

We thank Marco so much for this awesome kitchen-story and his contribution to the Postcard Collection. As every month, you will find a free copy of the postcard in your package. In case you don't order anything from us in August, then please still beware of the Cereal Killer! He could lie in wait for y'a in your kitchen or in your mailbox...

After the drama about James Gunn and his temporary kick out from Disney / Marvel, Warner Bros. grabbed the director and gave him leeway in the implementation of »The Suicide Squad«. So Gunn rummaged through the extensive DC archive for the most bizarre characters and packed them all into the new edition of the 2016, unfortunately heavily criticized blockbuster »Suicide Squad« by David Ayer.

Of course one or the other fan favorite is still on board, especially Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. Let's face it, what would a Suicide Squad be without her?

Perhaps the saying “made a virtue out of necessity” fits here, because apparently it will be a brilliant and hopefully successful change of scenery for James Gunn at the box office. In any case, allow him to do so!

We are looking forward to marveling at the squad at the movies from today - especially in view of the first very positive feedbacks!

If you follow our news carefully, you might still remember our reports from August 2020 about the "closure" of the »DC Direct« branch (let's call it the in-house collectibles forge) within WARNER BROS. Group. For all DC fans and especially collectors of these - as we always think - really great collectibles, this was sobering and really sad news...

Almost exactly one year later, however, the wonderful and very promising news comes - from none other than Todd McFarlane: McFarlane Toys will continue DC Direct! You are reading that right: McFarlane has signed a license deal with DC or WBCP and will soon start producing figures, busts and statues. Well, if that doesn't sound AWESOME? Above all, it is a sensible extension to the very successful »DC Multiverse« figure line by McFarlane.

We are really happy about these great news - and our very own »DC Bombshells« collection is already looking forward to growth ;)!
