The Phantom Rises from Cast-a-way Toys
With an enduring legacy, a costume that remains virtually unchanged since 1936, and an injection of Billy Zane, the Phantom finally gets his action figure, and it’s done up in true retro fashion. No, not carved out of wood and apple cores - Mego-style. Cast-a-way Toys, who also produce inexpensive Captain Action figures and an [...]

29. October 2008
Yup, sh*t happens. You might have followed the dramatic discovery that Kidrobot accidently sent out all the 600 DS5 Golden Ticket Dunnys by Huck Gee with the regular shipments.

This Saturday Michelle Valigura opens her much anticipated solo show at the M Modern in the weekender mecca Palm Springs. One [...]

29. October 2008
As a recent inductee into the extensive and dorky Doctor Who mythology, I’m pretty pleased to see that Underground Toys / Character Options is re-releasing a whole bunch of previously available characters, as well as some new ones, into their ‘Season Four, Wave Four’ wave of modern Doctor Who action figures - except this time, [...]

With a note from The Baroness on the KR Forums and the rhetorical question “Well, someone screwed up didn’t they?” in Huck Gee’s newsletter, the fiasco that was the mishandling of the Dunny Series 5 Golden Tickets draws to an anti-climactic close. It seems the original Golden Ticket Dunnys from Series 5 were accidentally distributed [...]
