The mad geniuses at DD have created another classic obscure monster figure masterpiece with the Hideous Sun Demon based on the film of the same name.
It will soon be available at their website Distinctivedummies.net but only for a limited time (as always).
Sorry, that was weak, even for me. Entertainment Earth unveiled an exclusive 18″ Removable Cowl Robin from Figures Toy Company yesterday.
I really like the idea of these, I’m not sure how many I can afford to buy (both cash and space are a rare commodity) but as Benjamin Holcomb recently mentioned, the grand size of these does make you feel like a kid again.
Mego Museum showcased the upcoming Kresge style Superheroes and while they’re great and all, I can’t ignore the fact that Doctor Thaddeus Bodog Sivana is getting a freaking Mego style figure this year!
Bam! without warning this week Figures Toy Company announced Dukes of Hazzard wave 2 by showing off the figures and taking pre-orders which had a lot of fans really excited. I’m by no means a Dukes fan but I can understand how cool it is to get the anicliary characters.
More shots after the jump, to pre-order directly from FTC please visit their site
It’s terrible on purpose!
This week’s Mego Museum Newsletter reveals that they have worked out a deal to be the exclusive home for updates and reveals from Figures Toy Company.
Which makes a lot of sense, considering the Museum is pretty much dedicated to this kind of thing and it won’t get lost in a sea of updates from general action figure sites.
Every Friday will see a new reveal via the Museum front page or the newsletter, 2015 sounds expensive. Goodbye Money!
This Saturday in Mississauga Ontario, Gotham Central will be hosting a new location grand opening, among the honoured guests will be Captain Canuck creator Richard Comely, signing the newly released Captain Canuck Action Figure.
For more Information visit their facebook page.
This past weekend saw the launch of the 8″ Odeon Toys Captain Canuck action figure in comic shops across Canada and thanks to our spies we captured a lot of it. Above is current Canuck artist Kalman and Silver Snail owner George setting at the downtown Toronto location for a signing event.
At Big B Comics in Hamilton, Captain Canuck creator Richard Comely signed figures for anxious fans. Any one who’s ever met Richard can tell you he’s an extremely genuine person.
This is Strange Adventures in Halifax, although you can buy the Captain at any of their 3 locations in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
Big B in Niagara Falls had a beautiful display of figures right smack in the center of the store. Visiting there is a must if you’re visiting at the Falls, it’s not far from Clifton Hill.
Where to buy Captain Canuck?
You can always order the Captain Canuck figure from the PlaidStallions Online store, especially if you’re not in Canada.
If you are in Canada and live in one of these cities, it’s always best to support your local comic shop, call them today to reserve your Canuck!
Odeon toys just put this carded image of Captain Canuck on their front page, stating that Captain Canuck will soon be available for sale on their web store. Seems the figure is going to launch with an event of some kind.

The Kubby Awards, the annual MegoMuseum poll that shines the light on the brightest and the best in ReMego is coming to a close today.
Seriously, this may be the toughest year yet with all the players and licenses in the pool. So cast your vote and be heard, from what I understand from early results, people like Batman. Who’da thunk it?
I’m back and well, EE is having another sale. It’s not the big ReMego blow out that the last one was but there are some good deals on Battlestar Galactica, Venture Brothers and a nice price break on those Big Bang Theory figures.
