Concept of the Week #4

concept-series2

Another week has passed, and that means we’ve got another new Concept Series update from localgotal!  This week’s feature is inspired by the Dark Horse series, The Star Wars.  It’s a figure that would be easy money for Hasbro, so we can’t help but wonder why they didn’t make this.

Maybe after they see this, they will consider it.  Either way, check out this great new concept figure after the jump!

Curto Burns Collectors Cast – Dec. 2 2013

It’s been a long time coming (James’ trip to San Francisco for 10 days as well as his crazy 15-16 hour working days has got in the way in getting this out) but it’s here now…

Recorded in late October/early November Dan Curto and James Burns talk about all the news from New York Comic Con, all the latest products available to buy or pre-order as well as catching up and talking to Steve Sansweet about the upcoming (although it’s already happened) party to celebrate the induction of Rancho Obi-Wan into the 2104 Guinness World Records.  There’s lots more news besides and it’s time to tune in and catch up!

Fear not, we’ll have another show out before Christmas along with a special announcement too!

Easy Modification to Merumeru

If you’ve been lucky enough to get your hands on Hasbro’s new Merumeru figure, you may not be too happy about the sculpted armor on his right forearm. 

But if you’re willing to shell out for a second copy of this figure, you can make a pretty simple modification to give him a more natural look, which essentially gives you a generic Wookiee.  Check out this simple process after the jump!
