BBTS Sponsor News: Alien, Mortal Kombat, Darkseid, Robocop, Predator, Transformers, Stan Lee, FF7, DBZ & More!

ALIENS ULTIMATE RHINO ALIEN Inspired by the classic Kenner Expanded Universe of the early 1990s, prepare to be bowled over by the Ultimate Rhino Alien from Neca. Neca’s team took inspiration from the original design, and then transformed it into an all-new modern behemoth featuring all of today’s detail and articulation. Rhino Alien measures approximately 10″ and has a massive ramming horn for attacking its unlucky prey.

Blood Splatter Protectors Are Killer For Your Funko Collection [Review]

Blood splattered Chucky was one of my recent grails for the San Diego Comic-Con Funko-Shop Fundays mystery online bundle. After getting him, I really wanted to show off how neat and unique this Funko Pop was. I wanted to do some research to find out if there was any designer Funko Pop protectors. After doing my research I came a simple five-pack from Poptekta. So let’s dive into our review as we look into the quality as well as the details of these Pop protectors.

The price for these was about $16 for a pack of five protectors. if you’re a Funko buff like me Pop protectors are one necessity you need to save your collection. One thing you really want to look at when you’re looking to buy protectors is how durable they are. They are 0.45MM thick and are probably one of the best protectors out there. Each side of the Pop protector has its own blood splattered design on each. There are even blood-splattered designs on the top as well as the bottom which also includes the company’s name.

The design really she goes well with horror Funko’s like the Freddywise or Freddy Chucky. Any horror Funko Pop would go great with these by showing them through a clear display and the blood makes them stand out from the rest of your collection. These do you go well with more than just horror Funko Pops too.

They could add any extra to the character design of your choice. I did add them to the recent NYCC Hero Killer Stain from My Hero Academia Funko Pop. The character self is known for being quite messy as well as really making the streets go red, so this Pop protector design really shows off the character well. I also showcase the newest AAA Exclusive Himiko Toga Funko, and I am in shock on how badass it turned out.

While these Pop protectors are not officially released by Funko, they are something of great quality and you really make your Funko Pop speak volumes. I have seen a blood-splattered green version out there from another company which would really change the game for the sci-fi Funko Pop game. It would also look pretty great on a couple of single Funko‘s like Toxic Rick or Freddy Toxic Rick. I hope we can see more designs in the protector circuit that can add more flavor to our collections. The sky is the limit when it comes to the style of designs, we could be seeing flames, water, or any elemental design. As well as effects like old comic book POWs or BAMs to give our favorite Pops some extra . You can buy your own blood splattered Poptekta Pop protectors on Amazon located here they have 5, 10 and 20 packs available.

Maleficent Makes Evil Adorable In New Hot Toys Cosbaby

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is Disney’s most character to get a live-action film. While this did seem to change up the lore as well as add more backstory to one of our favorite Disney villains. The films have been all right and somewhat questionable but one great thing to come out of them is Maleficent’s new look. A lot of great collectibles haven’t yet to come out of this film but one I am excited about is the upcoming Funko Pop figure. That was until now with Hot Toys newest Cosbaby figure! This figure stands at roughly 5 inches and is packed with cute adorable details. She does come with a fire backdrop as well as a base covered in green flames. I really love the detail of Maleficent’s wings as well as her headpiece. This design is still pretty great and I can’t wait to own this figure myself. This figure can easily brighten up any office or home desk and even any Disney collection.

The Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Cosbaby figure from Hot Toys does not have a release date or price just yet. At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it get a 2020 release date. Hot Toy is and we will keep you updated so you can lock down your own favorite Disney villain.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil  – Maleficent Cosbaby (S) 

“Love doesn’t always end well.”

One of Disney’s most powerful fairies, Maleficent will unleash her wicked powers on the silver screen in just a few days! The exciting sequel Maleficent: Mistress of Evil continues to follow the horned dark fairy and Princess Aurora as they form new alliances and face new adversaries in their struggle to protect the moors and the magical creatures that reside within. 

Transforming the sinister character into a stylish Cosbaby, today Hot Toys is thrilled to present Maleficent Cosbaby (S) based on Maleficent: Mistress of Evil to conquer any foes. Spreading her giant wings, Maleficent shows up in fierce black gown holding the powerful staff makes her more intimidating than ever. Stands approximately 13cm tall. Features rotatable head, a swathe of evil green fire character backdrop, and a specially designed figure base with green flames attached.

She’s back in the fantasy adventure! Embrace your inner evil with our Maleficent Cosbaby display!
