Brand New Toho Figures from Super7!

There are some brand new Toho action figures from Super 7 available now/ coming soob! And, they are all awesome, especially the massive Super Shogun Mechagodzilla, which looks absolutely killer! Check them out, each followed by official press releases from Super7:

Now In-Stock!

With a shiny metallic exterior, the latest Toho Super Shogun Mechagodzilla looks like it just came off the Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens’ assembly line! Standing 20” tall, Super7’s Super Shoguns are the next evolution of the jumbo-scale toys made popular in the 1970s and ‘80s.

Here to do battle with your vintage Shogun Warriors Godzilla, this Toho Super Shogun Mechagodzilla features three missile-firing fingers on each hand (six total!), poseable arms, legs, hands and head, and wheels below the feet for that perfect vintage touch.

You can order him from Super7 here.

Godzilla (Model Kit on Card)

Rest easy, Godzilla fans – the new Model Kit Godzilla comes fully assembled and ready to display in your collection!

The new 3.75” scale articulated Toho ReAction Figure of Model Kit Godzilla is inspired by the Canadian variant of the original model kit developed under the Toho license in the 1960s and features the mighty prehistoric monster posed among a removable, soon-to-be-destroyed cityscape. 

You can order this Godzilla directly from Super7 here. You can also preorder him over at Entertainment Earth, where you can get free shipping if you spend $99+, here.

Godzilla Skeleton (Glow)

You can’t escape the mighty Godzilla just by turning the lights out! The new 3.75” scale, articulated Toho ReAction Figure of glow-in-the-dark Skeleton Godzilla is inspired by the 1954 film Godzilla and depicts the aftermath of Dr. Serizawa’s terrifying weapon – Godzilla’s skeletal remains in glow-in-the-dark green – packaged on a glow-in-the-dark die cut cardback.

This Godzilla is available directly from Super7 here. Or you can preorder from Entertainment Earth here,

Did any of these catch your eye? I know they all caught mine! As, I said before this is most true of that Mechagodzilla, who looks so cool and massive. But, he is sadly out of my budget right now.

Are you guys getting any of these? Let me know if you order/ pre-order them in the comments section below. And, be sure to use any of the links above to do, cuz your intrepid reporter gets a commission. Your support is always appreciated, especially right now, when I could really use it.

Update for Feb. 2014

Since, I had a couple of things I wanted to talk about I figured, I would tackle them all in a brand new update post.

This month is both Women in Horror Recognition Month and Black Metal History Month!! I have long supported the women in horror, be they actresses, directors, producers, etc. I absolutely love that this month pays tribute to them. So, hats off and hail to the women who make our genre as amazing as it is. They add so much to the it and deserve the recognition.

The still gorgeous Kate Hodge from Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III and She-Wolf of London (the TV series), whom I met at Chiller Theatre the day before Sandy hit the East Coast in 2011

The stunning Barbara Nedeljáková who was one of the women I ranked in the 10 Hottest Women to Ever Appear in Horror Movies.

The beautiful film-making duo of the Twisted Twins, Sylvia and Jen Soska, whom I met last year at NYCC. I have interviewed them and professed my love for their movies many times here. They truly encompass the best of women in horror.

As for Black Metal Month, Metal Injection are doing a kick ass job posting articles on this most extreme form of music. I got into black metal slowly, starting with the more mainstream Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir and getting more and more into the sub-genre as time went by. It's become one of my favorite styles in metal, with bands like Watain, Chthonic, Emperor, Mayhem, Dissection, and Bathory being my personal favorites. I still love CoF and Dimmu, but admit ably their last few efforts have left me feeling either thinking it was awful (the last Dimmu) or thinking it's just OK (mostly anything from the last few years of CoF). 

Black metal is a fascinating music, not only because it so extreme, butause of the all the shit that has happened in the scene, murders, church burnings, etc. It's rich history derived from acts like Mercyful Fate, Venom, Celtic Frost, and Bathory (to me the first true black metal act), is interesting to study all in on it's own. Right now, I am listening to Carpathian Forest- Fuck You All!!! This is angry and dark music that is just perfect for me right now. 

Here are some black metal videos/ songs for you to enjoy:

Now, I would like mention just how AWESOME Arrow is this season!! It's doing everything right, unlike Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It's added so many great characters from the comics, albeit made to fit it's more real world style. Deathstroke, Black Canary, Nyssa Al Ghoul, etc. The last two had a lesbian relationship!! Lesbians!! Yes! Clearly, they want me to worship and love this show. Which I do! And, I do so more and more each week, in fact!

 

Finally, I want to say that this month is Toy Fair. Now, I should be there covering it on Tuesday the 18th. This will probably be the only day I will be there, but I always enjoy covering it. I love toys, after all. And, I just CANNOT wait to see what new Pop! figures from Funko are coming out!! As some of you know, I am so addicted to them!

 

My favorite pic of last year's event, as Kristin and I got our pic taken with this kick ass skeleton! Which me leads me this question: What is he from? If you know please tell me! He was too fucking cool!
