Winter is Comic for Dark Horse with the White Walker

After it's sneak peek debut at this year’s Toy Fair International, Dark Horse has officially released the White Walker statue.

“The first appearance of the White Walker was the climax of the show’s second season,” Dark Horse’s David Scroggy recalled. “We thought that would be a perfect image to seize. We used exotic resins to simulate his ice spear, and will also re-create the striking blue luminosity of his piercing eyes. Game of Thrones is one of the best television sagas ever, and we owe it to the audience to capture every detail. Hopefully, we’ve succeeded.”

The terrifying ice zombie is hand-painted, numbered limited edition collectible. Each bust is packaged in a full-color collectors box which will include a numbered certificate of authenticity. Retailing at $124.99 USD the 9" tall with 13" long ice spear bust can now be pre-ordered from HERE with an expected release December 18.

DKE and The Sucklord Kickstart S.U.C.K.L.E

DKE and The Sucklord debuted the first 5 sculpts of The Super Sucklord's mini figure line, S.U.C.K.L.E. at last years SDCC. Now they are raising funds on Kickstarter to produce a butt ton of the mini figures know as S.U.C.K.L.E. (Simply Unimportant Collectable Kitschy Little Eyesores).

"The Super Sucklord and his brand Suckadelic have been making custom resin art "toys" for over 10 years. Classic vintage toys have always been a huge inspiration for his work. S.U.C.K.L.E. pays homage to the classic mid-eighties toy line M.U.S.C.L.E. by Mattel. The figures are roughly the same size and made similarly out of solid color injection molded PVC plastic. Each of the Suckadelic characters will be immortalized in the same mini wrestler style as the original M.U.S.C.L.E. figures and stand approximately 2 inches tall. If you are already a M.U.S.C.L.E. collector these figures should display perfectly with your vintage figures."

So what are you waiting for? The figures sculpted by George Gaspar of October Toys are awesome and the rewards are in true Sucklord style. To start your mini fig collection or add some more unique characters to an exsisting one then make your pledge by going HERE.
