BRUCE CAMPBELL 12" FIGURE
On sale Apr 15
12" fully articulated doll, includes seven accessories
Comes packaged in a deluxe collector's box
$89.99
One of the most anticipated genre movie releases of the year is My Name Is Bruce, starring the cult hero (or is that antihero?) Bruce Campbell. Campbell is abducted from his trailer-park home to fight against Guan Di, a Chinese war deity. Thinking it all a joke, although thinking clearly is not one of his strong suits in this picture, Mr. Campbell discovers that it all is real, much to his shock and dismay. Mayhem ensues.
The fully articulated doll is formed from a 3-D scan of Campbell himself. Besides a custom fabric miniature version of his actual Hawaiian shirt, which was loaned to us by Mr. Campbell, proving that he's the kind of partner who would "give you the shirt off his back," an array of movie-specific accessories are included.
Two of these are miniature "angel" and "devil" versions of Mr. Campbell. They attach to his shoulders using hidden magnets. Additionally, we have:
Shemps Olde Tyme Whiskey
A Bruce collectible toy in melted package
Refreshing Lemon Drink bottle
A miniature Chins book
A big honkin' gun with price tag still attached
Puzzled? You won't be once you have seen the movie.
 
TIM BURTON PLAYING CARDS AND OYSTER BOY LIGHT-UP JOURNAL
On sale Mar 18
Tim Burton Oyster Boy Light-up Journal
HC, concealed spiral bound light-up, 128 pg, FC, 5.5" x 8.5"
$14.99
Tim Burton Playing Cards
Set of 52 plastic-coated cards, plus two jokers
$4.99
Watch the stars sparkle as Oyster Boy attempts, once more, to be like all the other little boys, trick-or-treating with his "human" mask. This entertaining journal has twelve lights embedded in the cover, which illuminate in sequence with the push of a button. Original Tim Burton art is featured on the interior pages.
Tim Burton has overseen and approved this wonderful deck of playing cards featuring his beloved characters. Cute and creepy Kings and Queens and skull-backed cards will keep you guessing.
  
THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY BOOK AND FIGURE SET
On sale Apr 15
The Umbrella Academy Figure Set
6-figure set (ranging from 2" to 5") in clear dome with blister
$39.99
The Umbrella Academy Book and Figure Set
4" tall figure in 2-sided window box with 152-page hardcover book
$24.99
This set of six Umbrella Academy figures evokes the characters exactly as they appear in the comic. The likeness is uncanny, with bold shadowing and strange angles, right down to the fur on Space Boy's oversized arms. We think you will be charmed by this set and love not only the figures, but the unique packaging they are placed in: An umbrella-topped dome looms over the siblings, in all their monochromatic glory.
For the Book and Figure Set, we have chosen Vanya, AKA The White Violin. She's a standout character in the series, defying her family and showing a vindictive, violent streak. A 5" x 7.5" hardcover of the trade paperback has been created for this set, featuring original Gabriel B? cover art.
