FOUR HORSEMEN REVEAL SECRET 7th MINOTAUR WARRIOR!

September 2006 - After the resounding success of FANtastic Exclusive 2006, the brisk sales of "Xetheus: Champion of Mynothecea," and selling out of all five of the variant Minotaur warriors, we're proud to announce the release of the top-secret, never before revealed 7th and final Minotaur warrior - The Mynothecean Royal Guardsman!

We're so happy with the way FE2006 turned out that we're extremely excited about the prospects of FANtastic Exclusive 2007 and we really wanted to come up with a way to thank our partners in this project - Raving Toy Maniac, Figures.com, Toyfare Magazine, Big Bad Toy Store.com, and Action Figure Xpress, and to give all of the action figure fans who made the whole thing possible one last way to commemorate the whole process.

The Mynothecean Royal Guardsman figure will be limited to a total production run of only 250 pieces, and only a certain portion of that production run will be made available for pre-order through the our own online store, Store Horsemen for $20.00 each plus shipping and handling beginning this Friday, September 8th at 11:59pm.

Like the other five Mynothecean Warrior variants, the Mynothecean Royal Guardsman will come with a removable helmet, a war hammer, a long-spear/battle flag, and multiple points of articulation. A certain number of Mynothecean Royal Guard figures will be used to create a limited number of special signed and numbered "Mynothecean Seven" bundles that will be auctioned off to not only help defray production costs, but also in order to donate a portion of the proceeds to the "Toys for Tots" program.

Speaking of Fantastic exclusive 2007 and the Mynothecean Six...

Round 1 of voting for FANtastic Exclusive 2007 is up and rolling! New characters for Symbiotech, Chrysalis, Gothitroplois, Zodiac Pack and the Aliens line have been added, and all of the classic characters from last years' fan-favorite, The 7th Kingdom have returned as well!

Voting has already topped more than 500 votes in this first round and less than 20 votes separate the leading properties! Voting for this round will only last a couple of weeks, so be sure to get in there and place your vote as soon as possible!

Last, we've got some not-so-good news to report... Although we'd originally planned to begin shipping of all of the Mynothecean Six (as well as other Store Horsemen merchandise) sets by mid-September, delays in shipping from the overseas factories have forced us to back up our shipment schedule by about a month.

We've just been told that our shipment is leaving the port in Hong Kong on Monday, so it looks like we'll begin to get the final shipments of all of our product around the beginning of October. This means that (if all goes as planned) all of the Store Horsemen products will begin to ship around mid-October, and sooner if at all possible. We'd like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused any of you.
