What's New This Week at Entertainment Earth

It's the official unofficial Holiday Season, which is why we're receiving tons and tons of new items every day. More figures, more bobbles, and other goodies. Some of these stick around for a bit, and others blow out as soon as we get them in. This is why we're all really big fans of the pre-order, so yours will go out as soon as possible after it arrives, before someone else has the chance to snag it. So if you want a new case of Star Wars figures, and we've started receiving shipments through wave 11, you might want to get in line for those.

New Arrivals

• Mattel's Star Trek Hot Wheels Next Generation USS Enterprise Vehicle is awesome, and in stock now for $14.99. Engage! Make it so! Uh.... I look forward to your report, Mr. Broccoli! (We love The Next Generation.)
• The Barbie Stunning in the Spotlight Doll wears black, has a mic, and is a retrotastic release. We suggest getting one as a gift for your special someone.
• Also special, the Twilight Edward Cullen Barbie Doll and Twilight Bella Swan Barbie Doll from Mattel just arrived and we have some of each to delight and amaze. Particularly notable, Edward has glittery skin, just like a real vampire.
• Roommates' Marvel Comic Book Chair Rail Prepasted Wall Mural is stunning. It's a mural that sticks to (and is easily removed from) your wall without glue or sticky stuff, covered in classic Marvel comic covers. So you can see Thor, Hulk, and so on. It's awesome.
• Most retailers don't carry the Ouija Board, but we do-- we love this stuff. Get yours while you can!
• If you love horror and Mighty Muggs, let me point you to the Mez-Itz Series 2 Freddy and Jason Figure Set. You get the two iconic horror "heroes" in a chunky form, and Mezco's design has a great ball-jointed neck for added movement. Buy these, trust me, you're going to like them.
• Finally, Dark Horse's Underdog Ornament is a classic-- we've sold tons, and it's a great holiday item. Get yours now!

New Pre-Orders

• The Up Carl and Logo Kubrick Bearbrick Figure Set will not make you cry like the movie, but that Carl figure is easily one of the finest pieces of Pixar merch I've seen in ages.
• Speaking of Japanese Disney imports, this Winnie the Pooh and Piglet Bearbrick 2-Pack is also adorable. It's coming in March.
• There isn't too much you have to say about Batman Cover Girls of the DC Universe Harley Quinn Statue. It's the Joker's gal pal, and she's wearing tight clothing as usual. Orders are welcome for an estimated June delivery.
• Diamond Select's Transformers Optimus Prime Bank is also awesome. It's like the cartoon character, as a bust, so it's like some awesomely out-of-the-1980s collectible. Very nicely done.
• The Lost Richard Alpert Bobble Head bears a stunning likeness to the guy from Suddenly Susan. You know the one. (But seriously, it has a fantastic likeness.)
• The long-delayed Star Wars Yoda and Vader Lightsaber Chopsticks Set and Star Wars Yoda and Luke Lightsaber Chopsticks Set are finally slated for February, at a pretty fantastic price. Pre-orders are, as always, welcome.

Marvel loses money, Heroes loses cast member, and Green Lantern loses film location

Marvel Entertainment profits drop!

Marvel Entertainment has reported a 60% drop in earnings in the 3rd quarter due to lower film revenue according to superherohype.com. Marvel's Chairman, Morton Handel, explains that, "Anticipation for the high profile Iron Man 2 feature film continues to build, and we are focusing our efforts on the film's May 2010 release and the related licensing opportunities." They are also continuing to work on Thor, The First Avenger: Captain America, and The Avengers films.

Heroes loses cast member!

TV Guide has confirmed that Adrian Pasdar, the high flying politician Nathan Petrelli of NBC's Heroes, has been let go from the show. The character has been in and out of "death" in the past couple of seasons but it looks like this is the final nail in the coffin. He's not the only thing Heroes and NBC is losing this season. They're also losing viewership. Bring back Chuck now!

Green Lantern director on moving film location!

Green Lantern director Martin Campbell talked about the recent change in film location for the superhero sci-fi flick to Empire Online recently and gave them some insight on the change. He states, "He's the only superhero to my knowledge who regularly goes to another planet," and, "Superman and Batman were essentially locked into a particular city. The Lantern isn't so Earthbound." He made it clear that the location of the shoot, which is now New Orleans, won't ultimately matter for the visuals for GL due to the film's outer space locations.

...but what are your favorite EE Bloggers asking for? We're glad you asked.

GeekGirlDiva wants...

1. Star Trek Pon Farr Perfume - I'm actually a big fan of scents, so they had me at "with light, clean notes of citrus, blackcurrant, lotus blossom, and water lily. With base notes from sandalwood, peach, and mulberry". Add the kitcsh value and this is a total win for me.

2. Star Wars Boba Fett and Carbonite Maquette - It combines my fave merc, the coolest bounty hunter, a heart breaking image for any fangirl and some gorgeous animation. Yes please!

3. Star Wars Asajj Ventress Force FX Lightsaber Replica - Do I need to explain this? ::grin:: It's a saber, it's a chick Sith saber, it's got the option for dual blades? Um...need more explanation than that? I'm gonna ask for your Geek Card back.

Zip and a Kick wants...
1. Lost Daniel Faraday Bobble Head - I watched the first 5 seasons of Lost in a month and a half to get up to speed on this truly addicting show. And when the quirky, nerdy, skinny-tie-wearing physicist showed up in season 4, I knew I had ANOTHER favorite character. Bobble head Daniel is even extra awesome, as he comes with Eloise the rat and a journal base.

2. Muppets Pigs in Space First Mate Piggy Tonner Doll - I've got three words for you: "Pigs...in...spaaaaaaaace!" The Muppet Show was an integral part of my childhood (and adolescence. And now adulthood) and the adventures of Captain Link Hogthrob, Dr. Julius Strangepork and First Mate Piggy were among my favorite recurring sketches. Tonner has gone to great lengths - as per usual - to create the sassy swine in one of her most iconic roles from the classic series. The boots! The jumper! The hair! Miss Piggy - then, now and forever.

3. Batman Batgirl vs. Catwoman Statue - When it comes to DC Comics, my allegiance has always squarely been with the one and only Barbara Gordon, AKA Batgirl. Despite the fact that several others have taken up the mantle over the years, Barbara will always be the only Batgirl for me. And when pitted against classic-costumed Catwoman in a battle royale? Exquisite, lovely perfection. And to make this statue even better, the ladies can be reconfigured in a variety of different poses. May the best Gotham Girl win!

Your Trusty Sidekick wants...
1. & 2. Superman Batman DVD Superman Maquette & Superman Batman DVD Batman Maquette - What better way to start collecting statues than getting 2 of the best superheroes of all time? The Superman and Batman statues from the Public Enemies movie are nice, substantial pieces, and are stylized enough which gives them a fresh and edgy look. And the movie is a new classic!
3. Back to the Future DeLorean Vehicle - Let's face it, the 80s are back! And why not go back with the Back to the Future DeLorean? In any case it would make a great gift...for yourself!

Adam16bit wants...
1. Star Wars Galactic Heroes Boba Fett Slave I Set - this look awesome and like a lot of fun. I've got the original Kenner, Galoob, and Hasbro Slave I toys and apparently I have to get this one too. It looks big and chunky plus it comes with a frozen Hansicle.

2. The Star Wars Clone Wars Action Figures Wave 12 is super cool. It has two figures from the episode Trespass, specifically the Talz chief Thi Sen and a cold weather version of Anakin Skywalker. I'm also really excited for the TX-20 Tactical Droid.

3. Also awesome is the Final Fantasy IX Vivi Orunitia Play Arts Action Figure, which is easily my favorite character from that game. I mean, look at him, he's like a blue Orko. Plus he knows black magic.

Monday Squee: See Above ::grin::

Yep. The post we did about who wants what? That's my current wishlist. Enjoy ;-)

What's New This Week at Entertainment Earth

---

New Arrivals

The very popular Zero no Tsukaima Tifania Statue has arrived, is pictured, and is green. As green fairies go, short of Absynthe, this is one of the best.
• The Project Dynamite Naked Star Statue defies gravity in the way you might hope. She's one of many new arrivals, also see Ikki Tousen Ryofu Housen Apron Statue, the Angels Kiss and Demons Bride Alp Statue, and this charming Creators Labo Emaretta-Chan Statue.
• The neat Star Trek Trouble with Tribbles Captain Kirk Deluxe Chair arrived, and includes a bunch of tribbles which should cause you troubles. Swell!
• The Star Wars McQuarrie Concept Action Figures Exclusive finally arrived, and it's worth noting that the C-3PO is painted slightly differently. The set contains the very hard-to-find Luke Skywalker, formerly a convention exclusive, and 12 others. However, the accessories of the previous 2007 figures aren't included in their entirety. Some are, though, but the swappable heads and a few blasters and hilts are not here.
• A limited number of the Star Wars Battle for Endor Action Figure Battle Pack remains, and it's swell. I love the Warok figure. Colonel Dyer is really awesome. Luke Skywalker is super-articulated and looks fantastic. Be sure to get this one.
  
• Mattel's Mindflex Game is this maze game where you can manipulate a small ball through an obstacle course using the power of your noggin. It's pretty trippy stuff, and arguably one of the more interesting games being offered this holiday season. We've got a few in stock, but you might want to grab it early.
• Also new and nifty is the Elvis Presley Barbie Collector Doll, and he's ready to rock your jailhouse or what have you. Get while the getting is good!
• This swell Universal Monsters Frankenstein 1:8 Scale Model Kit is a bit of a classic, complete with a doorway for him to come through. It certainly doesn't bore us... with his... uh... car... loft? Eh. Some assembly required, of course.

---

New Pre-Orders

• Some of the best comics you can read? Hellboy. This Hellboy Volume 9: The Wild Hunt Graphic Novel is the newest collection, which I'm gonna have to get.
• This Clash of the Titans Perseus Mez-Itz Figure is one of the first toys from the remake of the classic movie. Sam Worthington plays Perseus.Mezco's new Living Dead Dolls Freddy Kreuger Doll is creepier than regular Freddy. He's coming in Spring 2010, and wow. Freakish.
• The Barbie Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken Doll is worth mentioning, repeatedly. It's getting a lot of media attention. Why? Go look at it.

---
