Demogorgon Fan? Stranger Things Fan? Check Out This McFarlane Figure!

The demogorgon is a pretty terrifying villain. Stranger Things certainly upped the creep-factor this year (no spoilers don’t worry), but it would always be hard to top the horror of the first season’s big bad monster. While we have gotten some demogorgon stuff released, nothing has really blown me away. The Funko Pops were pretty cool. The 3.75 inch action figure has a great sculpt, but the design flaws don’t allow it to stand very well.

McFarlane Toys Stranger Things Demogorgon Action Figure

From a parallel universe known as the Upsidedown, the monster that was soon nicknamed the Demogorgon by the young group of friends,  it travels between two worlds wreaking havoc in it’s own world as well as in the town of Hawkins, Indiana.

• Spectacular likeness of Demogorgon sculpted from images from the show
• 10″ Deluxe Figure
• Designed with 12+ points of articulation for dynamic posing
• Figure features a stylized Stranger Things branded disc display base and is showcased in retro-themed packaging

Now this is more like it. The demogorgon will join other announced figures Hopper, Eleven, Dustin, and Lucas. Everything will be in scale with each other. They will all also come on vintage-style cards. As with all other McFarlane Toys figures, the sculpt looks fantastic and most importantly the paint aps on the open mouth look perfect. Hopefully that foot articulation has strong joints so the figure has no trouble standing. Too often that seems to be the case. But since it comes with a figure stand i guess it is a moot point for most.

This figure will be hitting shelves in February. Hopper and Eleven are due to hit stores anytime now. This one is a deluxe 10 inch figure, however, and will run $34.99 instead of $19.99. As a huge fan, they got my money here already. But maybe pick up Hopper or Eleven first and see if you like it. You can preorder one here.

Stan Lee’s Latest Cameo Is On The Rock’s Instagram

Up Close And Personal With WWE’s Finest At Ringside Fest 2017

If you’re into collecting action figures, you’ve no doubt heard about Ringside Fest. If you haven’t, the website’s “about” section sums it up better than I could:

“Ringside Fest began in 2004 by Ringside Collectibles, the number one on-line retailer of wrestling action figures! Ringside Fest is a way for wrestling figure collectors to meet their favorite WWE Superstars and Divas and see the latest Mattel WWE Action Figures coming out in the future. At Ringside Fest WWE Figure Collectors have a rare opportunity to meet the designers of their favorite action figures!”

This year’s guest lineup included Big Cass, Braun Strowman, Alexa Bliss, and Finn Balor. I bet you can guess which of those enticed me to go.

Action figures were a big deal here, but let’s be real. Almost everyone was coming up to see the superstars. Our own Jeremy Konrad did an excellent job writing about the figures, though, so check out that article too!

I would say around 500-700 people showed up to Ringside Fest, held at the Carolines on Broadway, right in Times Square. It was a chilly, rainy Sunday, but that certainly didn’t stop me! The venue is small, but it was big enough to hold everyone. Plus, there were seats, so you didn’t need to stand for 2-3 hours at a time.

First up, we met the Goddess of WWE — Alexa Bliss. I’ve become fond of the bratty heel, who in real life couldn’t be nicer. Honestly, she was enthusiastic and very down to Earth.

Next was Big Cass! I only saw him stand once, but he is indeed a very tall man. I obviously can’t be taught that, though, since I’m a mere 4’11. Also, he’s super friendly.

We actually met real-life giant dude Braun Strowman last. I would absolutely love to drink with this dude; he seems like he could tell you some hilarious stories. He’s awesome. He was kind enough to sign over a picture of Roman Reigns for a fan in line, informing Reigns he wasn’t done with him yet. I’ll never get an autograph as good as that, honestly.

And, of course, Finn Balor.

I went up to him, handed him my Funko Pop, and blurted out, “I have a huge crush on you.” Yes, I am an absolute fangirl, and I don’t care. He was super nice about it (because he likely hears that 3920183646 times a day), and I even got to hug him.

In case you’re wondering, I am typing this up from the grave, because I very much so died after this encounter. And I know — I didn’t do the “too sweet” thing. I was holding myself up by clutching the table, because I was swooning like the little charming fangirl I am.

Oh, and I got a few autographs, too.

Would I do Ringside Fest again? Honestly, yeah. Everyone working the festival was super nice and accommodating, and even the other fans were awesome. We talked to a lot of people yesterday, and everyone was having a good time. If you’re thinking about going next year, do it! You will not be let down!

I also got some videos from yesterday, so if you’re into watching people go full on fan while waiting for an autograph, then enjoy.

Porg! New Black Series Porgs Are Coming Next Year!

Porg, or Porgs if multiple, are by far the biggest thing in Star Wars right now. Since being revealed for the first time in The Last Jedi trailer, Porg Mania is sweeping the fandom. Love them or hate them, they’re here to stay — and they’re everywhere. We have Porg Funko Pops, Porg plush, and interactive Porgs. And now in the spring, we will have Black Series 6-inch Porgs.

These will be in scale with other Black Series 6-inch figures. They will also come in two-packs for $5.99.  These were revealed at MCM in London over the weekend.

The sculpt of these are pretty great. The quizzical look on the one is so adorable. Not to be outdone, the open mouth one is also quite cute. That one looks like it’s looking at something amazing — or that one just found out that Rey is not Luke’s daughter (wishful thinking). I gotta wonder what assortment these will come in, and what the packaging will look like. And if they will be exclusives or not. But those are questions for another time.

Porg!
