60TH ANNIVERSARY CLASSIC PEANUTS #5: SCHROEDER
On sale Nov 17
Limited to 650 numbered pieces
Packaged in its own tin box, with a pin-back button and a character booklet
$49.95
Dark Horse continues its yearlong celebration of Charles Schulz?s masterpiece, Peanuts.
Peanuts premiered on October 2, 1950, in eight newspapers. As we all know, it grew to become probably the most popular comic strip ever. We were lucky enough to be able to give the cast the Syroco-style treatment previously.
In an unprecedented move, United Media has let us go back to the original look of the characters from 1950, which is considerably different, and sculpt the main characters in a special sixtieth-anniversary limited-edition series of the five main characters. Sculpted by Yoe! Studio.
CLASSIC UNCLE SCROOGE SERIES 2 #5: UNCLE SCROOGE "MONEYBAG"
On sale Nov 17
Limited to 950 numbered pieces
Packaged in a full-color, litho-printed tin box, with a character booklet and a vintage-style pin-back button
$49.95
One of our best-received Syroco style statuette series ever has been one of the comic book medium?s most revered cast of characters, those of Carl Bark?s Uncle Scrooge stories.
The second series of Uncle Scrooge statuettes depicts the characters as they were originally presented on the covers by Carl Barks. For the final statue in the series, this particular pose of Uncle Scrooge was taken from Uncle Scrooge #32 from December 1960. Sculpting by Yoe! Studio.
DOMO 7" QEE FIGURES

7" Wood Grain
Limited to 500

7" Glow in the Dark
Limited to 500

Dark Horse and Toy2R are excited to bring you the limited-edition 7" Domo Qee series.
After the rousing success of our 2" Domo Qee figures we were wondering what we could do to top them. We have selected the most interesting and collectible of our custom Qee designs and, in concert with Hong Kong?s Toy2R, crafted them into a new, oversize, ultra-limited 7" version.
Dark Horse is set to release a total of six new 7" Domo Qee designs in the coming months. The first of these offerings in the series will be a Glow in the Dark Domo Qee and a Wood Grain Domo Qee.
THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY MAQUETTE: WHITE VIOLIN
On sale Oct 27
10.5" tall statue
Limited-edition, includes hand-numbered certificate of authenticity
$119.99
We have seldom seen a more positive response to a figure set than the one we received for our six-figure presentation based on Gerard Way and Gabriel B??s Umbrella Academy. The sculptures perfectly captured B??s unique art style in three dimensions.
Therefore we have created a very special large-scale maquette of the White Violin. Also known as 00.07, the White Violin is crucial to the story line of the first series, Apocalypse Suite. |
