Häxan House Will Let You Swap Your Soul For New Toys
It's an amazing time to be an adult toy collector, with new indie companies popping up daily to present us with creatures we used to draw with crayons and boundless imagination. It takes a lot of hard work and determination to get from concept to completion, even for the huge toy makers, so for the little guys, we must support all we can, and empty our wallets.
I ran across Haxan in my timeline on a social media platform that hasn't paid me to mention them, showing off a demon action figure that looks like it was torn from the pages of a dusty old folklore tome with yellowed pages and 100 other allergens. I dropped an email expressing my appreciation for their work and they very quickly sent over the info and images I'll share with you now. SO..if you like what you see, remember Haxan House and support any way you can, whether with a signal boost or your hard-earned cash when the time comes. Hopefully both!

At the VIZ Media panel, thrilling news was unveiled that “Rooster Fighter,” everyone’s favorite cock created by Shu Sakuratani, is now in production for an anime adaptation. The story follows Keiji, a rooster with superhuman strength, as he defends the world from giant monsters known as “Demons.” With its high-octane action and comedic scenes, “Rooster Fighter” is one mother-clucker who delivers a showstopper. The series broadcast partner will be Adult Swim, with additional streaming partners to be announced.
The agreement establishes VIZ Media as the representative for worldwide streaming, TV, and EST, as well as Home Video (HV) and Merchandising outside of Japan. Meanwhile, HERO's INC. will manage EST, plus Home Video (HV) and Merchandising within Japan.

Francis Ford Coppola's New 4K 50th Anniversary Restoration of THE CONVERSATION
THE CONVERSATION, Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 masterpiece thriller, the director’s personal favorite, returns to the big screen in a stunning new 50th anniversary restoration. Originally released at the height of the Watergate scandals, the new 4K restoration opens at New York's IFC Center and Laemmle Theatres in Los Angeles on August 9, the 50th anniversary of Richard Nixon's resignation.
Coppola says of the new restoration: "As you will notice, I have never offered a new version of THE CONVERSATION, which is a film I have always been proud of, I've never felt the need to improve. It also features my wonderful collaboration with its editor (along with Richard Chew) and sound designer, Walter Murch, which reinforces my belief that cinema is a collaborative effort. I am gratified to have made a film that has lived for 50 years."
