NECA's Street Scene Diorama: Wish Fulfilled!

In a world where Barbie gets houses, sports cars, private planes and full sets of glamping gear, the lonely 6-7 inch action figure collector is left crying in the rain. We were raised with playsets for each line we collected. Gargoyles got a castle. He-Man got a castle. Crystar got a castle. The freakin lion from Narnia....CASTLE!! Ok maybe it wasn't the lion's castle, but one of those movies got a castle and I bought the thing because...CASTLE!! I've always loved playsets, and as I grew older and shifted from going pew pew with my figures to setting them up in elaborate displays and action shots for photography, playsets became an essential tool. In the last few years, playsets have made a return with towering batcaves, turtle lairs and technological outposts from which Ben 10 and other cartoon heroes can defend the planet, but aside from these gimmick filled, cardboard enhanced, kid friendly kingdoms, there hasn't been much for toy photographers to work with. Then NECA answered the call!

LAST DAY to Get Your Castle Grayskull!

Let's face it...the complaint is a whiny one. Oh noooo...my Castle Grayskull is too small! I can't get my He-Man through the door properly without making him duck like when I go over to Grandpa's house and have to be sure not to take my head off as I descend into the cellar because obviously folks were shorter back then?? To be a respectable scale, your tiny, childlike frame would have to drag out a 2 foot plus playset every time you wanted to make pew pew noises at Hordak and the Snake Men, risking permanent injury when that construct falls over, crushing your legs to pulp. Now you're in a wheelchair for life...but you got that Castle Grayskull problem licked!! Who would create such an insane piece of plastic?  MATTYCOLLECTOR WOULD!!

Since Mattel is filled with folks who hear your mews of longing and often, share them, they set out to make your dreams come true....and today is the LAST DAY to make it happen.  Here's the skinny...

He-Man Gets a Castle in 2013...Maybe...

ActionFigureInsider is soaking up the Masters of the Universe fandom at PowerCon this weekend and have just unleashed all the info from the Mattel panel. No doubt, the most exciting tidbit for casual and die hard fans alike is the possibility of a Castle Grayskull specifically for the Masters of the Universe Classics Action Figure line in 2013! AFInsider says the project will be a metered pre-sale, which means that after a picture is shown at New York Comic Con this October, you'll be able to earmark the ultimate in Eternian real estate for a mere $200...IF the meter on the pre-order hits the number needed for production. Only then will the piece be sculpted (from the original Mark Taylor design...though we doubt it will look exactly like his concept sketch to the left, as it would alienate fans of the cartoon and more modern designs) and on the fast track for a Fall 2013 release. It is obvious Mattel is taking no chances.

Geoff Johns Previews the 3 & 3 quarter inch Green Lantern Figure Line

G4 hit the DC Entertainment offices and got a look at some upcoming collectibles while chatting about new video games and anything else they could squeeze out of their host, Geoff Johns. If you check out the vid below, at 1:43 or so you'll see the first bits of 3 and 3 quarter inch Green Lantern figures we've been teasing for a crazy long time now....and a proposed Green Lantern central power battery playset we knew nothing about!! Here's hoping we get a look at this and more at San Diego Comic-Con this week, but for now, here's a quick look...

Game Trailers - E3 2012

In the vid, we also get a look at a beat up cardboard Hall of Justice display for the Just Us League of Stupid Heroes figures...so maybe they'll be making this for retail....or maybe it is just an awesome display for Comic-Con? We'll know the answer in days.
