Beetlejuice Movies Funko Pop figure.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!

 The star of Beetlejuice a 1996 movie that is truly awesome.

 Beetlejuice is the 5th in the Funko Pop vinyl Movies line of figures.

 He looks like he does in the movie.

 He has a big grin and green ectoplasm on his face.

His green hair is spiked and very cool.

He wears the striped suit to show he is a professional bio-exorcist and not some fly-by-night operator. 

 He fits in well with the other movie pop figures, here we have Jason and Hannibal.

Note that the eyes on the packaging are different to the eyes on my figure. This is common as most Beetlejuice figures have the black eyes. 

A "chase" figure is out there with box accurate eyes and is being sold for a ridiculous amount by evil ebay flippers. Unless you find one in the wild (for a standard pop price), i would pass on this variant.
The chances of me, in rural Australia finding a pop in the wild let alone a chase are extremely small, the one store that has just got pop figures in has a very small selection and i am sure any stickered pops would be off the shelves quite quickly.

Video Review:

Preview: Supernatural Pop!

 

First impressions can be very important. When i first stumbled upon this program i knew nothing about it. I always had an interest in the paranormal and decided to watch the episode i had stumbled upon. I was charmed by the flirting between Sam and Dean and thought it was a really brave move to have an openly gay male couple staring as the paranormal investigators of this show. I was interested to see more, made a mental note, then promptly forgot about it. Some years later a friend asked 

"you must watch supernatural right?".

 I said that i didn't know the show, but the friend showed me a picture of the guys and i said 

"Oh yer the gay couple, i do want to watch this, is it worth buying on DVD?" 

My friend laughed and informed me that they were in fact brothers, i couldn't believe it, but a quick internet search confirmed the disappointing news. sadly all interest was lost, first impressions can be very important.

Now Funko pop have created the Supernatural couple i mean duo, for their television line of Pop! vinyl figures.

Sam

Sam Winchester looks like his TV counterpart.

Dean 

Dean Winchester looks like his television counterpart as well. 

Opinion:

I cant really say much about these guys, having only seen one episode of the show. But it appears from these shots that the body's are the same which isn't exactly cool. If the line grows it would be cool to see some of the traditional paranormal entities getting the Pop treatment.

Slender Man: Plush Toy

 

  

If you haven't seen this amazing Slender Man doll yet go have a look right now.

 Slender Man is a huge 32" plush created with the finest fabrics and materials. He is a soft, yet durable toy and is absolutely adorable while remaining as creepy as can be.

The doll is designed by R. Todd Broadwater of Nevermore Toys and  Katy Kincade, a talented artist and seamstress.
It is currently on Kickstarter so please have a look at the project and read Kickstarter's terms and conditions before securing your very own Slender Man.

Also there are other goodies available, including limited art prints by Santiago Germano, Denae Wilkowski, and Brenden Wilson, which look incredible.

Act fast as the project closes on the 21st of July 2013. 

 What is a Slender Man?

On June 8th, 2009, a spooky Photoshop contest was launched on the Something Awful website, and slender Man was born, though he was not fully formed and the internet has worked to create a living urban legend.

Slender Man is a thin, unnaturally tall man with a blank and featureless face, wearing a black suit. He has tentacle like arms and can form more tentacles from his back. Slender Man is said to stalk, abduct, and generally traumatise people, his motives remain mysterious.  

Followup:

I will give a review of the doll when i receive it, so check back often. Why not be a part of Slender man lore and get your own Slender Man doll.
If your not interested yourself, consider sharing to a social site and spread the word so together we can make Slenderman a reality.

UPDATE:

The Kickstarter for this item has closed without reaching the desired funding amount, ill make another post if it is relaunched.
The new project can be found on kickstarter now called ZERO HOUR.

My meager Paint skills place Slender Man at Minyon falls. Imagine all the fun you could have placing Slendy in those holiday shots.

UPDATE 2
I backed Zero Hour and have yet to see anything for my money (its now July 2016), it appears  American backers pledges were fulfilled (mostly) but not international. The creator has ceased all communication with his backers and has created new kickstarters that seem to be having similar problems.
