BLUEFIN EXPANDS STAR WARS EGG ATTACK STATUE LINE WITH NEW PREMIUM R2-D2 AND C-3PO STATUES BY
BEAST KINGDOM
New
Renditions Of The Legendary Droids As They Appeared In The Classic
Original Star Wars Film Trilogy Debut This Month And Are The Latest To
Join The Egg Attack Line Of Super Deformed Premium Statues
Anaheim, CA, December 21, 2015 –
Bluefin, the leading North American distributor of toys, collectibles,
and hobby merchandise from Japan, Hong Kong and more, expands its line
of Star Wars products with the release this month of the Egg Attack Star
Wars series EA-015 R2-D2 statue and EA-016 C-3PO statue from Beast
Kingdom.
The
statues are the latest to join Beast Kingdom’s line of officially
licensed, collectible Egg Attack Star Wars figures that are available
now from authorized Bluefin retailers nationwide and also from a variety
of leading online outlets. The Egg Attack statues present extremely
high quality, super-deformed renditions of several legendary characters
from the Star Wars film franchise and can accent an ardent fan’s
existing display or become the unique centerpieces of any collection.
Depicted
as the legendary droids appeared in the original Star Wars Episodes IV,
V and VI film trilogy, the stunning renditions of R2-D2 and C-3PO are
officially licensed by Lucasfilm and are constructed with compound
materials. Their screen accurate paintjobs fully realize R2-D2’s classic
blue and white plating and C-3PO’s gold armor, silver right leg, and
his weathered appearance from the time spent stranded on the desert
planet of Tatooine.
EA-015 Star Wars R2-D2 Statue
Height: Approx. 5 inches; MSRP: $149.99
This
collectible statue is constructed with compound material and painted to
reflect R2-D2’s classical blue and white plating. The lighting function
of the droid 100% matches the original movie setting. It also has
built-in R2-D2 sound effects officially licensed by Lucasfilm. To
complete the display, a classic-looking Carbon-Freezing Chamber light-up
figure stand is also included.
EA-016 Star Wars C-3PO statue
Height: Approx. 6 inches; MSRP: $164.99
This
collectible statue is constructed with compound material and expertly
painted to depict C-3PO’s gold armor, silver right leg, and the
weathering effects from time spent stranded on the desert planet of
Tatooine. It has built-in classic lines officially licensed by
Lucasfilm, and also comes with a classic Carbon-Freezing Chamber
light-up figure stand for collectors to customize their display.
If
poseable action figures are more a fans’ preference, collectors also
have the opportunity to purchase Star Wars figures from Beast Kingdom’s
Egg Attack Action line. Fans will not want to miss out on other Beast
Kingdom Star Wars products available from Bluefin including the EAA-002
Star Wars Darth Vader figure (depicted from Star Wars Episode V: The
Empire Strikes Back) and the EAA-005 Star Wars Stormtrooper figure
(depicted from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back).

December 23, 2015 (Los Angeles, Calif.) - This January, KaBOOM!, an award-winning imprint of publisher BOOM! Studios, and Cartoon Network Enterprises, the licensing and merchandising arm of the network, are pleased to present the six-issue limited series Adventure Time: Ice King. Storytellers Emily Partridge (Adventure Time) and Pranas Naujokaitis (Uncle Grandpa), along with artist Natalie Andrewson (Lumberjanes), focus on one of the most tragic and hilarious characters in the Land of Ooo in an exciting new adventure that really shows what makes the Ice King tick.
The Ice King has always been there, kidnapping princesses, messing with Finn and Jake, and generally being a weirdo. But there’s way more to him than that! He’s a deep, thoughtful person with a heart full of love! Or...maybe he just really wants to marry a princess. Either way, this is one journey the citizens of Ooo aren’t likely to forget!
“The Ice King is one of the strangest and most intriguing characters in Adventure Time,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “The more we learn about him, the more questions we have! Emily, Pranas, and Natalie will be giving us a closer look at this character as they join us for our first Ice King-centric series!”
Ice King wakes up one morning to find Gunter missing and a ransom note from someone called Dark Magister Templi Marble! Panicking over his sweet Gunter, Ice King goes to Wizard City to find help and discovers the coolest, most intimidating secret society of wizards who are also looking for Marble.
KaBOOM!'s award-winning Adventure Time comics are based on the hit Cartoon Network original series. From the mind of series creator Pendleton Ward and produced by Cartoon Network Studios, Adventure Time follows the unlikely heroes Finn and Jake, best buddies who traverse the mystical Land of Ooo and encounter its colorful inhabitants—and always find themselves in the middle of heart-pounding escapades.
Adventure Time: Ice King #1 (of 6) arrives in comic shops on January 20th with a main cover by the original Adventure Time comic artists Shelli Paroline & Braden Lamb for the price of $3.99 under Diamond order code NOV151140.

Jack Kirby’s The Mighty Thor Coming As
Artist’s Edition From IDW
San Diego, CA (December 21, 2015) – IDW Publishing is pleased to announce Jack Kirby’s The Mighty Thor Artist’s Edition—the
very first Marvel Comics Artist’s Edition to feature Kirby’s work. This
mammoth 15” x 22” hardcover collection includes classic complete
stories from Journey Into Mystery #111, #117, #118, and other stories, plus a beautiful gallery section by Kirby, the undisputed King of Comics.
"I've had the great pleasure of working with
 one of the most creative men in comics—the great Jack Kirby,” said Stan Lee,
“whose magnificent artwork and wonderful story sense have rightly
earned him the nickname ‘King Kirby.’ He had the ability to take any
theme and make it look spectacular due to the power and the brilliance
of his artwork. If ever a writer had the perfect collaborator, I was
lucky to have had the brilliant and inimitable Jack Kirby."Jack Kirby was the most important and influential artist in comic’s history. Besides Thor, he co-created most of the Marvel Universe, including Captain America, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, The Incredible Hulk, Ant-Man, Iron Man, The Silver Surfer, and so many others. As writer, artist, innovator, his legacy is unparalleled. All the grandeur and energy that infused Kirby’s artistry is evident here—this is the next best thing to looking over the masters shoulder at his drawing board! “Jack Kirby is still the visual heart of the Marvel style, so having an opportunity to experience his originals at the size they were drawn, corrections and all, is a rare and valuable opportunity for any aficionado of the comic book mediums,” said Marvel SVP & Executive Editor Tom Brevoort. “Without Jack Kirby, the comic books we know and love would not exist,” said Special Projects Editor Scott Dunbier, “His work influenced and shaped the entire art form. It’s as simple as that.” Look for Jack Kirby’s The Mighty Thor Artist’s Edition in stores this coming May!

WOLF TEARS INTO NEW STORY ARC
Featuring artist Ricardo Lopez Ortiz
Featuring artist Ricardo Lopez Ortiz
Bestselling
writer Ales Kot (ZERO, THE SURFACE) and artist Ricardo Lopez Ortiz
(ZERO) will launch a new story arc in their ongoing mythical noir series
WOLF this January.
Previously
in WOLF, Antoine Wolfe got us rolling on the road to hell and back when
he and the teenaged maybe-Antichrist Anita kicked off what might just
be the Apocalypse.
In WOLF #5, Anita and Wolfe try to pick up the pieces—five years later.
"WOLF
#5 begins 4 years after the events of the first collection, and
everything in the comic reflects that—down to the creative team. While
Matt Taylor is still in charge of all the collected edition covers
together with our designer, Tom Muller, the monthly artist torch has
been passed to Ricardo Lopez Ortiz, a fantastic new talent whose
qualities far outweigh his still modest comics credentials,” said Kot.
“Wolfe wakes up in a prison that will seem familiar to careful
readers—while Anita drags something dead back home. A home that features
more than one character you may have assumed gone forever… but in
comics, as in life, unexpected resurrections sometimes happen when
you're looking the other way—or when you're waiting for a new issue."
“As tough as it is to fill in the
giant art shoes that Matt Taylor left behind, I'm incredibly excited to
take over on art duties for this new arc of Wolf,” said Ortiz.
“The whole creative team has come together beautifully and concocted an
eerily fun and mind-bending trip of a story that will knock readers for a
loop and leave them hungry for more.”
WOLF #5 (Diamond code: NOV150576) hits stores Wednesday, January 20th. Final order cutoff deadline for retailers is Monday, December 28th.

REVIVAL STEPS OUT IN NEW STORY ARC
Issue #36 is a stand-alone before the new arc begins
Issue #36 is a stand-alone before the new arc begins
Previously
in REVIVAL, the rural town of Wausau, Wisconsin was rocked by a vicious
attack on its county courthouse, and Dana fought to protect Em from the
scarred assassin Black Deer—casting a harsh light on the goings-on at
The Farm in the process.
In REVIVAL #36, 98-year-old fitness guru Lester Majak reassesses what it means to live forever in a city full of the undead.
“Issue #36 focuses on one man's
experience in Wausau, in the new status quo set up after issue #35,”
said Seeley. “It's a bittersweet story about living with death when that
doesn't mean what it used to.”
REVIVAL #36 (Diamond code NOV150539) hits stores Wednesday, January 27th. Final order cutoff deadline for retailers is Monday, January 4th.

THE DISCIPLINE IS A DARK, SEDUCTIVE MYSTERY
An all-new series about sex, death, and metamorphosis
An all-new series about sex, death, and metamorphosis
Bestselling writer Peter Milligan (X-Force / X-Statix) and artist Leandro Fernandez (Queen & Country) team up for an all-new series, THE DISCIPLINE, launching from Image Comics this March.
In THE DISCIPLINE #1 readers meet Melissa, one woman who—between fighting her sister and hating her husband—still finds time to fall in lust with a stranger who's an awful lot more than he seems.
“This might be the edgiest story I've written,” said Milligan. “In most ‘erotic thrillers’ sex is the end-game, the objective. In The Discipline the erotic charge is simply a step towards something stranger, darker… beyond human.”
What appears to be a simple seduction is revealed as something much darker and more dangerous.
This controversial and erotically-charged tale of sex, death, and metamorphosis begins with an explosion of carnality and weirdness. THE DISCIPLINE #1 (Diamond Code JAN160523) will hit comic book stores on Wednesday, March 2nd. The final order cutoff deadline for comic book retailers is Monday, February 8th.
