SIDESHOW COLLECTIBLES NEWS! MYSTIQUE!
Sideshow Collectibles proudly presents the latest addition to the MARVEL Premium Format Figure line, Mystique. Sculpted to Sideshow's museum-quality standard, the Mystique Premium Format Figure presents the shape-shifting blue babe in fine form. Each piece is hand-cast of high-quality polystone, hand finished and individually numbered.
Learning to use her shape-shifting ability early in life, Mystique's true past and age are a mystery. Mystique had concealed her superhuman powers and criminal intentions well over the years under the name Raven Darkholme, and she was able to rise rapidly through the United States Civil Service to the trusted position of Deputy Director of the Defense Advanced Research Planning Agency (DARPA) in the United States Department of Defense, giving her access to military secrets and advanced weaponry, both of which she used for her own criminal and subversive purposes.
Mystique organized the third incarnation of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, originally founded by Magneto. This Brotherhood first became known when it attempted to intimidate the public by assassinating Senator Robert Kelly, who was investigating the perceived danger posed by the existence of any superhuman beings. The X-Men thwarted the assassination attempt, and the Brotherhood later clashed with the X-Men on other occasions, as well as the Avengers and other heroes.

SPECIAL EFFECTS WIZARD STAN WINSTON DEAD AT 62!
Special-effects maestro Stan Winston dies at 62
In this undated image released by Stan Winston Studio, Stan Winston is shown. Winston, the Oscar-winning special-effects maestro responsible for bringing the dinosaurs of "Jurassic Park" and other iconic movie creatures to life, has died.
By DERRIK J. LANG (AP Entertainment Writer)
From Associated Press
June 16, 2008 7:43 PM EDT
LOS ANGELES - Stan Winston, the Oscar-winning special-effects maestro responsible for bringing the dinosaurs of "Jurassic Park" and other iconic movie creatures to life, has died. He was 62.
Winston died at his home in Malibu surrounded by family on Sunday evening after a seven-year struggle with multiple myeloma, according to a representative from Stan Winston Studio.
Working with such directors as Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and Tim Burton in a career spanning four decades, Winston created some of the most memorable visual effects in cinematic history. He helped bring the dinosaurs from "Jurassic Park," the extraterrestrials from "Aliens, the robots from "Terminator" and even "Edward Scissorhands" to the big screen, and was a pioneer in merging real-world effects with computer imaging.
"The entertainment industry has lost a genius, and I lost one of my best friends with the death Sunday night of Stan Winston," Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said in a statement. "Stan's work and four Oscars speak for themselves and will live on forever. What will live forever in my heart is the way that Stan loved everyone and treated each of his friends like they were family."
Winston won visual effects Oscars for 1986's "Aliens," 1992's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" and 1993's "Jurassic Park." He also won a makeup Oscar for 1992's "Batman Returns."
Winston was nominated for his work on "Heartbeeps," "Predator," "Edward Scissorhands," "Batman Returns," "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" and "A.I."
He last worked with director Jon Favreau on "Iron Man."
"He was experienced and helped guide me while never losing his childlike enthusiasm," Favreau said in a statement. "He was the king of integrating practical effects with CGI, never losing his relevance in an ever changing industry. I am proud to have worked with him and we were looking forward to future collaborations. I knew that he was struggling, but I had no idea that he would be gone so soon. Hollywood has lost a shining star."
At the time of his death, Winston was in the process of transforming his physical makeup and effects studio into the new Winston Effects Group with a team of senior effects supervisors. Winton's most recent projects included "Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins," "G.I. Joe," "Shutter Island" and Cameron's "Avatar."
"He ran at full throttle, in both work and play, and was a man of kindness, wisdom and great humor," Cameron said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "He was a kid that never grew up, whose dreams were writ large on the screens of the world. I am proud to have been his friend, and I will miss him very deeply."
As a child growing up in Virginia, Winston enjoyed drawing, puppetry and classic horror films. After graduating from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville in 1968, Winston moved to Southern California to become an actor but instead worked behind the scenes and completed a three-year makeup apprenticeship program at Walt Disney Studios in 1972.
Winston is survived by his wife, Karen; a son, daughter, brother and four grandchildren

WETA COLLECTIBLES NEWS: THE HUNTER!

USD $225.00
NZD $311.11
GBP �105.00
All prices exclude New Zealand GST of 12.5%
Item Number: 07-004
Hunters were highly-trained ex-military operatives and members of secret government agencies most comfortable clinging to the shadows and dealing with threats in their own deadly ways. After the Demon invasion, methods and weapons once held secret were shared as Hunters switched their crosshairs from one another to the monsters that had invaded their world.
The archetype of the Hunter is obscure, cloaked in mystery and subterfuge. In one way they are an Assassin, a Ninja, a knife in the dark. In other ways, they are the Ronin, a highly-trained warrior with no master. In yet more, they are the Destroyer, a force of blazing gunfire and deadly accuracy that lays waste to any foe that stands in their way.
Their weaponry was/is a mix of hyper-advanced technology and theoretical science. Their people are boisterous groups of practical hard-asses who have survived the Demon invasion thus far by remaining a few steps ahead and keeping the Cabalists and Templar a few steps behind. They are also men and women that have been subjected to indescribable horrors long before any Demon touched Earth's soil.
This piece is available in June 2007.

MARVEL STUDIOS: THE INCREDIBLE HULK
HULK MOVIE FINE ART STATUE
A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Edward Norton stars in the action packed re-imagining of the Hulk mythos in the brand new film THE INCREDIBLE HULK. The release of this cinematic blockbuster has been celebrated by adding an iconic representation of the HULK to The Kotobukiya Collection.
Shredding a camouflaged military Humvee and hoisting it overhead, the Incredible Hulk stands in the center of the city in final combat with his enemy – the deadly Abomination. The massively proportioned Hulk has been sculpted using reference materials directly from the archives of Marvel Studios to ensure perfect replication of the jade giant. Measuring at a whopping 14 inches tall, the destroyed pavement of the street, the mechanical details of the hummer, and the enlarged veins of the Hulk himself have been faithfully rendered by master artisan Junnosuke Abe.
Fine Art Statues are the ultimate high-end collectibles, created from cold cast porcelain with ornate features throughout, such as the neon pigment of the enraged Hulk’s eyes. Each statue is individually numbered on the bottom of the base as part of a Limited Edition. The serial number is also reflected on the gold-printed outer seal.
The base will interlock with the Abomination Fine Art Statue to form a diorama scene – each sold separately – look for more info on the Abomination in the coming months as the collaboration between Marvel Studios and Kotobukiya continues.

SELECT START GOES ?WILD? WITH MUTTPOP?S
DR. DESTRUCTION!
SelectStartNow.com Is The Exclusive Location For The Highly Anticipated Variant
Only 250 Pieces
(New York, NY June 9, 2008) Select Start LLC announced today the sale of Dr. Destruction: The Wild edition from Muttpop. The vinyl which begins presale on Monday, June 9, 2008 is available exclusively at www.SelectStartNow.com and is limited to 250 total pieces.
The exclusive piece is the latest addition to Muttpop's Lucha Libre rotocast vinyl figure line. The Dr. comes with a removable cape, cigarette, cane and rotating head and stands approximately 8.25" (21cm) tall and retails for $69.99. This particular color way is the perfect clown prince to brighten those annoying dark nights...
This concept works sinfully well on Dr. Destruction. The figure's stocky build and dapper clothes plus the purple cape and cane combine to put this one over the top. Speaking of the cane, the humorous smiley face accessory is a great touch matching the delicious combination of evil and humor that makes this Joker tick.
Dr. Destruction is the leader of LES FORMIDABLES, the first genuine group of French superheroes. His heroic intentions are mainly cultural: Dr. Destruction is appalled with the peasant-like ways of Americans and came to East L.A. to teach them the rudiments of Les Bonnes Manieres. He drives the pride of the French automotive industry: a 1979 Citroen CX Presidentielle: 2.5 tons of solid Parisian iron with the power of 75 horses, fueled by the purest of diesel. Some people suspect that Dr. Destruction isn't really French. While it is true that he has no qualms sipping American brewed coffee, his reputation as a flip-flopping back-stabbing surrenderer cements his country of origin. His skull adorned cane hides a sharp blade that, he claims, killed the fifth member of LES FORMIDABLES: the one who mocked Jerry Lewis. Destruction uses this very sharp blade every morning to spread brie on his baguette.
