Day Three arrives and there's been a slight change in plans. I absconded to the studio late last night to take pictures of Horos & Thothos for the paint article, but the colorful figures had other plans. They (or maybe me) wanted to focus on articulation for today, so the pics took a turn for movement.
Day Two of Scarabus week may be running a bit late, but I hope you won't mind once you see the pictures. Today, I'm focusing on the sculpt and since that's the one aspect that any picture can show, I thought I'd try & spice this one up with a little help from Scarabus' two alternate looks: Demon Fire & Dormant Form!
Do you remember the last time you were captivated by a new toy? I don't mean rediscovering MOTU in its Classics form or finally seeing the appeal of Golden Pharaoh when he's been realized in six inches. I mean a new toy - no cartoon or movie, no history, or nostalgia. Just a little pillar of plastic awesomeness.
Hopefully, you've all taken the time to explore the wonderful MelBirnkrant.Com since the Outer Space Men returned to Earth for last year's San Diego Comic Con. It was always a great resource for the history of the Outer Space Men, but Mel has put together a new exhibit that celebrates their return and looks to their future!
The "Dark Deities" multi-pack will feature three Egyptian inspired variant versions of the dark lord of Gothitropolis - Anubos, Thothos, and Horos! All three figures available at one time, and all three feature full articulation, spectacular paint applications and tons of accessories, including special war armor for Scarabus' evil little minions, the Time Keepers!
I was so excited for the upcoming Fantastic Exclusive Scarabus figure by the Four Horsemen, that I decided I couldn’t wait for the official release. So I saved up a little bit of extra money and placed an order for the Light & Dark Talisman set that debuted at the Horsemen’s Toypocalypse showing.
Single 'Scarabus - Lord of the Resurrected' figures (Scarabus' main form) and the first Scarabus variant multi-pack, "Evil's Reign", will go up for pre-order this coming Saturday night (March 19th, 2011) at 9:00pm EST at the Four Horsemen's online retail outlet -Store Horsemen!
