Mcfarlane Toys Announces Halo 4: The Master Chief Resin Statue

Mcfarlane Toys announced their Halo 4: The Master Chief Resin Statue will go on sale December 6th in the Mcfarlane online store HERE. These will retail for $295. This is limited to 1000 pieces and stands approx. 12" tall with base. Includes 3 interchangeable weapons and features all the sculpt & paint that Mcfarlane Toys is known for. Each piece will be numbered and comes with a COA signed by Todd Mcfarlane.
"The upcoming highly detailed, hand-painted, cold-cast resin statue perfectly recreates the iconic cover art of Halo 4. This powerful scene depicts the Master Chief rising from the wreckage of the Forward Unto Dawn, primed and ready to explore the strange, new, artificial world. "
"Replicate the cover art with his trusty Assault Rifle; wield an Energy Sword, the mightily close combat blade used by the deadly Elites; or showcase the new Forerunner enemy weaponry that debuted in Halo 4 by giving Master Chief the all-new Boltshot weapon. Each sequentially numbered piece includes a Certificate of Authenticity, hand-signed by McFarlane Toys' creator Todd McFarlane."
 "A limited quantity of statues will also be available in the US through Diamond Comic Distribution and internationally through Star Images, Cosmic Group, PBM Express, and IKON Collectibles."

Funko POP! Stan Lee Comikaze Expo Exclusive

Now that NYCC is underway and the 1st of 5 versions of the Stan Lee POP! is being released, the 2nd Stan Lee POP! Vinyl has just been revealed for Comikaze Expo. This was probably an easy guess that one of the ConventionExclusive.com's Stan Lee POP! Vinyls had to be released at Stan Lee's own Comikaze Expo. These will be at the Krazy Cat Collectibles / Conventionexclusive.com booths.

Joe Ledbetter's Chaos Bunnies Minis

The Loyal Subjects x Joe Ledbetter revealed that they will be releasing the Chaos Bunnies as Mini figures. They have been teasing us with images and a video. Joe revealed today that one of them is the Cactus Bunny which you see in the pic above. Would definitely like to pick this series up since they are smaller than the previous Chaos Bunnies Releases.
The teaser image above was just released by Joe. Any guesses as to which bunny it is?

Preview Refreshment's Ice Cream Monster

Preview Refreshment's Ice Cream Monster! Refreshment has been busy with quite a few new sculpts this year. This one is awesome! Hopefully we'll see the first release soon.

Preview Paul Kaiju's Get a Life Gobocon! Mini Figure Series

Preview Paul Kaiju's upcoming mini figure series called Get a Life Gobocon! Series 1 in wax From left to right the figures are Gobocon, Cat Girl, Chuto & Machinegun Ghost.

Gobocon is a zombie robot from the future who requires Goboroot for fuel.
Cat Girl is moderator of all times.
Chuto is a post "great war" friend and confidant of Gobocon, from further in the future than Gobocon!
Machinegun Ghost is a gangster monster from the earth past.

Paul's inspiration for this mini figure set was a rare Rockbat Mini Set from the collection of Warren Schwartz in the pic above.
Quote from PK- "I though it would be cool to combine 70's Tokusatsu shows such as ROBOCON and ROCKBAT with something part "Terminator" and part early "Outer Limits" combined with these cute Tokusatsu shows, including "off" elements from across time, and this is what came out of the sculpt session. 
A total love letter to Tokustatsu of Japan and the bottomless pit that got me here in the first place.
The island they inhabit, is surely nuts. I can't wait to come up with more."
Love it when artists shares their inspiration(s) for a project and can't wait for these to be released. These are scheduled to be released in 2014.
