RECAP: APE 2012

APE aka Alternative Press Expo was held this past weekend at The Concourse in San Francisco. APE showcases the small indie companies and artists. Crunched for time, we weren't able to spend too much time at APE this year but walking around the show there were so many talented artists and companies and APE has grown even bigger this year with workshops and panels held upstairs where in previous years were held in the same general area as the exhibitor hall.  

Some pics from the show below:

APE on Sunday - Just opened so not too busy yet.

Up the stairs was where they held workshops & panels.

Cool Odd Fauna Sculpts by Emma SanCartier

Skull Bunnies

Jeff Pigeon's Get Lucky Beavers & Kozik Anarchy Beaver

APE score!

Picked up a few things at APE which included a stop at Super7's Booth for their Giants Baseball Boy, Mongolion & Super Mummy Boy T-shirt. Also couldn't resist picking up Jeff Pidgeon's Get Lucky Beavers. Wish this weekend wasn't so packed and busy or we would've stayed longer and take our time checking out everyone's work. See you next year!!!

Mattel's MOTU Castle Grayskull Pre-Order

Mattel just opened up their pre-orders today for the Masters Of The Universe Castle Grayskull for $250 + shipping. Mattel needs to hit a minimum of production goal by November 10th 12th (Mattel just extended the deadline) 2012 at 11:59pm in order for them to proceed with production. If they get their goal met, pre-orders will stay open until January 3rd 2013. Pre-order this HERE.

"Standing solitary in the desolate lands of Eternia®, the legendary Castle Grayskull® offers sanctuary for He-Man® and those who stand for all that is good. An essential component in the original Masters of the Universe® toy line, this long-awaited icon is finally available for pre-order. Whether you’re a dedicated fan of the original series or new to the Classics line, no collection will truly be complete without Castle Grayskull®!"

"Our all-new Castle Grayskull® playset is slated for a late 2013 release. Because it’s still in its very earliest stage, the final design is subject (and likely) to change. Why are we offering it for pre-order now and asking you to make a commitment when the design hasn’t been finalized? Because the production cycle for an item like this takes over a year and is extremely costly. If we don’t reach the minimum pre-order goal by November 10th, we can’t go forward.

So, here’s everything we can tell you at this time…

Product Features

• It’s Castle Grayskull®!
• Ideally, the set will include everything shown in the “B sheet” product drawings to the left, but please remember these are working drawings and aren’t final yet.
• If produced, this will be the largest, most ambitious MOTUC item ever made – the dimensions are expected to be somewhere around 25”h x 26”w x 28”d (subject to change).
• The overall sculpt will be based on the original 1981 prototype, with the addition of an extra battle ledge, elongated jaw/face, a removable minaret on top of the dome and more!
• Just like the vintage toy, it will be a two-sided foldout but there will be three levels to show off your MOTUC figures (in scale with most of our 6.5” figures). The vintage set only had two levels, but we’ve added another across the top for maximum display options.
• Two secret doors – the first, a traditional door that opens out the back, and the second one, a secret brick wall that exits to the outside ledge.
• Trap door leading to the dungeon (of course) that has an opening door, plus “locks” and chains to hold one figure.
• Throne fits most 6.5” MOTUC figures – who will rule your Castle Grayskull®?
• Bat wing jet pack and training device were both cut from the vintage prototype and finally get a chance at production!
• Working elevator like the ‘81 prototype had, but we’ve added back the red skull on top that was cut. The elevator goes to all three levels, not just two levels like vintage toy.
• Real opening Jawbridge just like you remember, only cooler!
• Have Wind Raider? The playset will include an attachment so you can be ready for air-battle at a moment’s notice (and create a complete diorama).
• Secret Orb room is hidden inside the dome.
• Removable ladder to the roof leads to a blaster and the flag of Castle Grayskull®.
• Carrying handle is optional for easy transport or clean display.
• Did we mention… it’s Castle Grayskull®!

Ordering Information

• Castle Grayskull® will only be produced if the minimum production goal is reached by November 10, 2012. If the minimum number of pre-orders is received by November 10, we’ll continue to accept pre-orders through January 3, 2013.
• If production goes forward, everyone who pre-orders is guaranteed to receive a playset. Some sets will be available on MattyCollector.com after pre-orders are fulfilled, but the price will be significantly higher and you won’t be guaranteed to get one. If you want one, a pre-order is the best way to ensure you get it.
• When you place your order, the card you used will be “pre-authorized” for a zero dollar amount. This pre-authorization simply verifies that the card is valid. You will NOT be charged until the item ships, at which time you’ll be billed for the product, shipping costs, and any taxes/fees.
• Please note that because this item is so large, shipping charges will be substantially higher than items we normally sell. The shipping weight is 20 lbs.
• This item is scheduled for late 2013 shipment. We’ll send an email reminder about a month before the product is scheduled to ship. If you need to change your address or credit card information at that time, you’ll have plenty of notice.
• Should we not reach the minimum pre-order goal, your order will simply be canceled (because there’s no charge until it ships, there’s no refund needed).

One last thing… because this is a work-in-progress, features may be added or removed from the proposed design, but we can’t confirm anything now. We’re seriously as excited as you are by the prospect of finally having a Castle Grayskull® playset and Mattel will do everything to ensure we can deliver as much value as possible!"

RECAP: Bat Butts & Goat Guts at Dragatomi

Dragatomi Presents Bat Butts & Goat Guts (Phantasmagorical Psychosis) by Paul Kaiju & Leecifer. Opening reception took place on Saturday, October 13th 2012 at 7PM. If you wanted to purchase a custom by Paul Kaiju or Leecifer you had to get a line ticket which Dragatomi handed out starting at Noon. A few people camped out overnight and a few people came out from So. Cal. There was less than 20 people who lined up to purchase anything from the show. It was a really mellow crowd and everyone left with what they wanted and more.

Dragatomi did a wonderful job of hosting this event. Everything was well organized. The Dragatomi staff were very friendly and helpful. Anything that was not purchased will be up in their online shop on Monday, October, 15th. If you're in the Sacramento area, stop by Dragatomi and check out the show as it continues until November 9th.
