STORM SHADOW VS OPTIMUS PRIME STATUE: First 4 Figures will be releasing a new exclusive statue limited to just 1000 pieces. This piece features Storm Shadow crouched upon the giant head of Optimus Prime. Preorders are up for $69.99 - this is a very cool cross-over piece.

GWEN STEFANI L.A.M.B. FASHION DOLLS: More breaking news from BBTS - these have not been listed elsewhere yet and we are offering the full set of 8 figures for $149.99 - $10 under the MSRP. This set includes the four Japanese Harajuku Girls: Love, Angel, Music, and Baby, as well as 4 different versions of the Gwen: Tick Tock Gwen, Bananas Gwen, Cool Gwen, and Hollaback Gwen. Take a look at them first at BBTS.

SIDESHOW EXCLUSIVE ANGEL & BUFFY ITEMS: Previously a Sideshow Internet exclusive, we now have Cordelia Chase, Lorne - The Host, and Rupert Giles up for preorder at $43.99 each

DARKSTALKERS: Yamato brings us two high-end resin sculptures of the beautiful Morrigan and Lilith. These figures are priced at $194.99 and $174.99 respectively - and each comes with a real feather boa!

TRANSFORMERS NEMESIS PRIME: We've secured a small amount of stock and should have it here in under two weeks, these were significantly more expensive to purchase than previous shipments, so the preorder price has gone up, but its the best we can do at this point other than leaving the listing at 'sold out'
