Power-Con Returns in 2013!

Wednesday, December 12th, 2012 by Pixel Dan

After two successful years, the POWER-CON will return September 14th and 15th, 2013 to the Torrance Marriott South Bay, in Torrance, California. Not only will Power-Con still encompass the worlds of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, She-Ra: Princess of Power, and the ThunderCats, but it will now be raising some shell by including the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the celebration!

The lean, mean, and green fighting machines will receive the same attention and love He-Man, She-Ra, and the ThunderCats have received during Power-Con’s first two outings.  As the fans who have attended previously will attest, this is a convention that caters directly to the fans by bringing in the top talent involved with the properties you love, extensive programming and panels during the entire weekend, vendors that have the collector in mind, and even an opportunity to dine with the creators and thespians who helped bring these beloved properties to life.

Hotel reservation information is coming soon which will include a discounted room rate for Power-Con attendees. Make sure to keep an eye out for this announcement as our hotel block sold out quickly last year before the show. With the inclusion of the Turtles, we expect an even faster sell-out.

Guest announcements and programming details will be continuously released throughout the upcoming year. Please bookmark our official convention website at: http://www.thepower-con.com/ , friend us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/ThePowerCon, and follow us on Twitter @ThePowerCon.

We look forward to seeing all the fans help bring the power, honor, thunder, and cowabunga to 2013 this September!

New MOTU Classics reviews on the way – sneak peek at Ram Man, Jitsu, Netossa, and Procrustus!

Thursday, December 6th, 2012 by Pixel Dan

I’m currently working hard on several new Masters of the Universe Classics video reviews, including Procrustus (December), Netossa (January), Ram Man (January), and Jitsu (February)! Special thanks to Mattel for the early review samples.

I hope to have videos hitting the net as early as this evening, but in the meantime I wanted to share with you a few images I took while shooting the figures. Thought this might whet your appetite a bit!

Just a note: I don’t have Granamyr yet. Mattel said that their stock is delayed, which has effected review samples as well. Fingers crossed I get him before sale date so I can show him on video!

Click through for the images! And stay tuned for the reviews!

Castle Grayskullman Customizing Kit from Joe Amaro on sale December 12th

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012 by Pixel Dan

You might remember that awesome Warlords of the Universe commercial I posted a while back. It was a collaboration between toy-maker Joe Amaro and Castle Grayskullman creator Daniel Benedict which showed off some cool new accessories to turn your MOTU Classics Castle Grayskullman figure into, well, a different looking version of Castle Grayskullman! Basically, the idea would be to create an army of Castle Warriors!

Well good news! Soon you’ll be able to buy your very own Castle Warriors Customizing Kit!

BBTS cancels all figma Link pre-orders

Tuesday, December 4th, 2012 by Pixel Dan

For anyone who pre-ordered the figma Legend of Zelda Link figure from BigBadToyStore.com, you should be receiving an e-mail notice letting you know that your order is unfortunately being cancelled.

While this is certainly terrible news, it’s worth noting that this is out of BBTS’ control. It appears that Diamond Comics Distribution has failed to secure the licensing needed to bring the figma Link to North America.

If you had your Link pre-ordered with BBTS, you may want to hurry up and start seeking alternate means of securing this figure. BBTS says they will keep all pre-orders open just in case they find an alternate way to fufill them, but point out that it does not look good. If figma Samus showed us anything, it’s that these Nintendo figma’s will sell out and then get pretty pricey on the after market. So don’t delay in finding another one to purchase before it’s too late!

Full announcement from BBTS after the jump.
