Goodbye 2010 Sale

Jeff Ayers — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 09:06:19 +0000

If you’re on our mailing list (and if you’re not you should get on that; there’s a sign-up box on nearly every page of our website) you received an email from us over Christmas weekend about the neat-o sale we’re running. Here’s the body of the mailshot:

Happy Holidays from your chums at FPNYC!

It’s been a fun, wild year, and as it draws to a close we’ve got something special to offer all our customers old and new as a thank you for such a swell 2010: a veritable horde of items at unbelievable discounts.

Valid both online AND in-store, to boot. Just follow the link above to check out all the great stuff at great prices.

Hurry! These deals are only good through January 1st and while supplies last. Also, be sure to check with us throughout the next week as we will be adding more products often.

Thanks again for a great 2010, and all our best wishes to you and yours in 2011.

Sincerely,
The Staff of Forbidden Planet NYC

The staff have affectionately labeled this our GTFO sale. Among the items listed (now sold out, natch) were a few Hot Toys Dark Knight Two-Face (formerly $174.99, sale priced at $39.99), so you can get a sense of how phenomenal the discounts are. There’s still some terrific stuff left, and items are still being added. Keep checking back or subscribe to the sale’s RSS Feed.

Remember, these prices are valid online AND in-store through Saturday the 1st, while we still have stock.

The latest Terminator 2 Judgement Day figure from Hot Toys, a 1/6 scale representation of the unstoppable T-1000 as portrayed by Robert Patrick, is back in stock on the FPNYC webstore and is already running out quickly. If you’re interested in picking one up you may want to act in an expedient manner… AKA get a move on it!

He Won’t Be Back

Jeff Ayers — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 02:56:23 +0000

We’ve had Hot Toys’ new Terminator T-800 Movie Masterpiece figure for a few days now and I’ve gotta warn ya: they’re flying out!

Ya hear me? They ain’t gonna be here for long.

Here he is, though not in ALL his splendor. While the pics illustrate how gorgeous a toy sculpt this is, the actual product is even more impressive in person.

Thursday Toys

Sorry for not getting this out there this past Tuesday, as my plan calls to do every week, but as is the case in the hustle and bustle of my life in geek retail, my time and attention were chewed up by emergencies, other duties, and a unique opportunity… in this instace an on-camera interview for Sequart’s forthcoming documentary on Grant Morrison.

This week’s new toy highlights at FPNYC and forbiddenplanetusa.com include:

Living Dead D0lls: In Wonderland

and Hot Toys’ Terminator Salvation Final Battle John Connor.

If you’re curious about the Unca Grant documentary, which is slated to come out in July 2010, here’s the demo trailer:

Tuesday Toys

TONS of toys arrived at Forbidden Planet USA today, all of which I will tell you about right now:

Hot Toys X-Men Origins Wolverine 12″

Features include:

Newly developed Hot Toys hirsute muscular figure body with over 30 points of articulation

Authentic likeness of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and looking like a badass

Jacket, undershirt, shirt, jeans, and boots of better quality material than almost anything I own

Detailed belt buckle

Dog tags

Two sets of interchangeable hands

Figure base with Wolverine nameplate and film logo

Sturdy as all heck, borderline dangerous, claws

Hot Toys Silk Spectre 12″

Featuring:

* Film accurate costume of a black & yellow romper with garters
* black thigh-high boot tops
* long black gloves
* belt
* interchangeable trench coat
* Detailed likeness with implant hair
* The authentic likeness of Malin Akerman as Silk Spectre II

And just when you thought two huge releases from Hot Toys were Smurfy-keen, things get even more Smurftacular with vinyl renderings of Papa and Vanity Smurf. They’re reminiscent of Mighty Muggs, though not made by Hasbro. You can tell Papa apart from the other Smurfs ‘cuz he’s bearded with a red hood, and Vanity by his gnarly flowered hood.
