Kotobukiya has announced two new New Devil May Cry 5 ARTFX J statues with Nero And Dante. Both are due out in October and are up for pre-order at BigBadToyStore.com. Devil May Cry 5 Nero ARTFX J From the latest installment in the stylish Devil May Cry series, Devil May Cry 5, the young devil hunter Nero is joining Kotobukiya’s ARTFX J line as a 1/8 scale statue! Nero’s character is perfectly captured as aims his signature double-barreled pistol “Blue Rose,” a provocative look on his face. The statue is expertly crafted to showcase every realistic detail, from the metal buckles on his outfit to the folded sleeves of his coat. Nero’s signature weapons, Blue Rose and Red Queen are also faithfully recreated! The details on Red Queen’s hilt and combustion engine look just like they do in the game, making it easy to imagine Nero activating Exceed and burning all of his enemies to a crisp. Nero’s “Devil Breaker” arm, a new addition to the franchise in the 5th installment, is also on display, crafted with the same level of care and detail as the rest of the statue. Just like the game, in addition to “Gerbera,” which is attached to his arm, “Overture” and “Punch Line” are also shown hanging from Nero’s waist. Although the latter two are covered by his coat, the Devil Breakers are all extremely detailed and accurate to the game, making them a must see for any fans of Devil May Cry 5. A beautifully detailed piece from head to toe, add this statue to your collection today to witness its craftsmanship in person, and display him alongside the ARTFX J Dante statue to recreate the world of Devil May Cry! Devil May Cry 5 Dante ARTFX J From the latest installment in the stylish Devil May Cry series, Devil May Cry 5, the powerful demon hunter Dante is joining Kotobukiya’s ARTFX J line as a 1/8 scale statue! Dante appears as if he has jumped straight from the game, holding his signature blade “Rebellion” at the ready, an aloof expression on his face. Each detail of the character’s appearance has been carefully recreated, from the leather texture on his coat and trousers to the metal buttons and fasteners on his costume. Rebellion is also faithfully recreated down to the intricate details of the skeleton on the hilt, which has a different design on the top and bottom; just one example of why this piece cannot be fully appreciated from one single angle. The blade of the sword is wreathed in delicately crafted flames that look like they will start flickering at any moment. A beautifully detailed piece from head to toe, add this statue to your collection today to witness its craftsmanship in person, and display him alongside the ARTFX J Nero statue to recreate the world of Devil May Cry!

Following the shocking events of the Season Two finale, the thrills of CBS’s wildly popular Star Trek: Discovery continue in a new three-issue comic book miniseries from IDW Publishing, Star Trek: Discovery – Aftermath! This riveting new comic book, under license by CBS Consumer Products, reunites co-writers Kirsten Beyer, Mike Johnson, and artist Tony Shasteen (who previously worked together on 2018’s Star Trek: Discovery – The Light of Kahless) for a storyline focused prominently on Spock. In the aftermath of the 2019 finale, everything in Discovery has changed, and as L’Rell and Pike try to negotiate a fragile peace, Spock finds himself grappling with the fallout from what happened with Michael Burnham – and the mysteries about her still left to unravel. “The new series shows how Pike, Spock, L’Rell, and the rest of the cast deal with the fallout from the mind-blowing events of Season Two,” says Johnson. “And we couldn’t be happier that Tony Shasteen is beaming back onboard for this story!” “To be able to follow up on the huge status-quo shift presented in that finale is a dream come true, especially with a team as talented as Kirsten, Mike, and Tony,” says editor Chase Marotz. “In terms of fitting into the broader universe presented in Discovery, this new series is perhaps our most essential yet, and I can't wait for everybody to see what we've got in store for them.”

Having seen them in person I thought they were kinda a cool they but needed more articulation so you could get them in actual wrestling moves.

We have gotten confirmation from several etailers and comic shops that word came down this week of DC Collectibles pulling the plug on their newly announced DC Comic Based Luchadores line of figures that were first announced back in February during Toy Fair. It is unclear exactly why the new line was killed before it even began, whether it was due to lack of pre-orders or if it had something to do with the recent changes at DC Collectibles. For those not aware, Warner Bros. who owns DC Comics absorbed DC Collectibles into their Warner Bros. Consumer Product division. Among other things, this seemed to have caused a restructuring of personnel and resources within DC Collectibles. We have also seen them in the past year seemingly make a significant shift away from standard action figures and focus more on statues, vinyl figures and replicas. The final thing to change recently was the announcement at the beginning of the year of McFarlane Toys, another adult oriented action figure company obtaining the license to do DC Comic action figures. We know this impacted Mattel, but it really wasn't clear on what effects or impact that might have on DC Collectibles. While the exact reason for the cancellation may remain a mystery, if you were someone who pre-ordered the Luchadores figures, I would expect you will be receiving notification of their cancellation soon if you haven't gotten one already.
