Mikie Graham's Zombie Art Project returns next week!
Mikie Graham's Zombie Art Project is lurching closer and closer to its gallery opening in Los Angeles's Toy Art Gallery on November 24. We saw a few of the custom pieces that will be on display previously at DesignerCon and even more are previewed on Mikie's tumblr page. However, those are mere morsels of what will be offered at the show. Mikie promises "a fun assortment of affordable single zombies, some more intricate midsize playsets, a GIANT 3ft x 3ft diorama, and some other MEGA surprises."
The show will run from November 24 to December 8, with an opening reception from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Pacific on the night of the 24th. The reception will be a great opportunity to meet the artist himself. You can RSVP on the event's facebook page. Even if you can't make it to the opening night, toy fans in the Los Angeles should hit up Zombie Art Project while it's still in town. It looks to be one awesome show.

Castle Grayskull a go, pre-order target has been met
For those of us who have been eagerly waiting all day for Mattel to finish "tallying" pre-orders and make an announcement, our patience has been rewarded with a confirmation that Castle Grayskull will indeed become a reality.
Mattel halted pre-orders earlier today with a notice that it was "tallying orders" and would let us know the results later in the day, citing a need to validate a "few very large orders" before they could be added to the count and advising readers to respond immediately if they received an e-mail. While I'm curious what constitutes a large order where a US$250 item is concerned, the source is a subject of even greater curiosity. Was it re-sellers of some sort putting in an order with the intention of making a profit down the road? Or was it fan super pacs trying to ensure that project was a go?
Whatever the case, I'm happy that things will be moving forward. Even if I don't end up buying a copy myself (because 2013 is shaping up to be an expensive year...), I still want to see what this thing will look like and now it seems like I'll have the chance. For those of you sick of the Castle Grayskull updates, you'll be granted a brief reprieve as the next major announcement will probably be the packaging artwork vote scheduled for Spring 2013.

Generations 2012 Voyager Series 01 Case Mix Reveals Blaster Will Be Shortpacked
__scaled_100.jpg)
Ouch, looks like those hoping to get the Fall of Cybertron Blaster figure will have some hunting to do. Thanks to the details from the BigBadToyStore listing we have found out just one Blaster figure will be packed in a case of four. Most likely scalpers will be wrapping they tentacles around them too for an extra fee no doubt. BBTS does offer them as a set of two if you don't want to chase after the shortpacked figure, pre-order it now at bigbadtoystore.com

DCC Batman: Arkham City wave 4 pre-orders on the loose
DC Collectibles' fourth wave of their articulate Batman: Arkham City line is now up for pre-order. The wave features another Batman, Nightwing, Talia al Ghul (Batman's occasional love interest/baby mama), and the previously discussed Deadshot.
While we may have seen a lot of similar-looking Batman and Nightwing figures over the years, Talia is a bit rarer and this Deadshot is (thankfully) one of a kind. This also very well may be the only chance to pick up Deadshot and Talia in their Arkham City duds as it's doubtful either will appear in Mattel's Batman Legacy/Unlimited line. And, rather unfortunately, it's not even that good of a Talia. Oh well, I guess something is better than nothing... which is exactly what Hugo Strange has seen so far.
Oh well, with the shrinking roster of Arkham City characters to draw from, DC Collectibles will have to eventually include Hugo Strange. Hopefully before they end the line. As with previous regular entries, these figures have a US$24 list price (but can generally be found for US$20~22 individually) and are slated for a March release.
