BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Diamond’s selection of cool stuff shipping this week is all about the things the go bump in the night.
The company has a lot of great toys on the way this week, but my pick has to be that awesome black & white The Walking Dead set for Halloween ComicFest. This is the first year for the celebration that joins All Hallows and all things comic book. What better way is there to kick it off than with a really awesome collectible from a comic book that actually does classic horror right?
Great stuff- here’s your Diamond rundown for this Wednesday:
Mad Monster Party Select Action Figure Assortment
The classic Rankin/Bass holiday film is back from the grave! Featuring the iconic stop-motion animation of Rankin/Bass and starring every famous monster you can think of, Mad Monster Party roared into theaters in 1967 and has been a cult classic ever since. Now, the film gets the toy treatment it deserves with movie-accurate action figures of The Baron, Fang and Dracula! Each 7-inch scale figure includes a display base and movie-accurate accessories, and comes in its own display-ready collector packaging. Sculpted by Tony Cipriano!
Battle Beasts #4 (IDW Publishing)
The final chapter of the Battle Beasts mini-series comes to its teeth-gnashing conclusion! The entire Beast invasion force descends on our heroes as they attempt to reclaim the Dread Weapons from the last man on Earth who should wield them — the megalomaniac boss of Bliss Reynolds! Can Vorin, Merk and Gruntos stand against the newly empowered rageaholic? Can any Beast? Can the world? They’re going to try! Words by Bobby Curnow, art by Valerio Schiti, variant cover by Jeff Zornow! Toys coming this winter from DST!
