Kylie Minogue as SHE-RA

ABC has just released a preview for its new upcoming TV series SHE-RA! inspired by Filmation 80′s cartoon and toys produced by Mattel, She-Ra: Princess of Power is the alter ego of Princess Adora and the twin sister of Prince Adam/He-Man. In the new ABC series She-Ra deals with life issues such as the death of arch nemeses/lover Skeletor, children, her brother He-man and a near death experience. Ok just kidding this is just a spoof by Funny or Die staring Kylie Minogue. Would be cool to see She-Ra make a comeback one way or another. Check out the fake promo below.

Mattel announced its 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive, a six-inch Batusi Batman Figure. This figure comes with the recent news from Warner Bros. Consumer Products which officially launched the highly anticipated Batman Classic Television Series licensing program. What’s cool about this piece is the window-box artwork sporting the classic 1960’s DC Comics Batman inspired by television show created by popular graphic artist SHAG.

According to Portugee’s site Barbie Fashion News Mattel might be moving some of its Barbie factories back into Brazil, currently Barbie is manufactured in China and will still do so, but with less intensity so it’s reported. I guess we will have to see if this really happens I am happy to hear that production is coming a bit closer to home. Also it seems that ESTRELA toys is rumored to be the manufacturing company, that will take over production. ESTRELA back in the 80′s and early 90′s produced Barbie until Mattel sent production over seas. Interested in seeing if this really materializes.

Pixar Toy Story Real Life Andy’s Room

After toying with the idea of Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time or Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas nursery room themes. Soon to be father of Jack Always, daddy Jonaas, eventually decided on Pixar‘s Toy Story films. The next task was how to recreate Andy’s Room. A long time fan of the films, Jonaas used resources and inspirations from Pixar Planet forums along with the films to hash out the rooms every detail. Using material resources from places like Ikea, etsy, Walmart, Target, Kinkos and eBay. Jonaas got to work, based primarily on Andy’s room in Toy Story 2, the room also takes bits and pieces from the other two films. Jonaas first started buying toys resembling Woody and Buzz, Hamm piggy-bank, Rex, and even a bucket of Little Green Army Men with plans to buy more. Moving along with a fresh bucket of sky blue plant the adhesion of bright yellow stars, adding three blue wall-mounted shelves (where the broken toys are exiled to).

Using his carpentry skills to modify a headboard, covered the bed with space-themed sheets, used decals from Pixar Planet forum to create a teepee-covered trashcan, pieced back together a red swing-arm (Pixar) lamp, altered a Mickey Mouse wristwatch wall clock, printed out an “ABC Round-Up” poster, assembled a secret Nerf Arsenal compartment and even recreated a replica of Andy’s little sister Molly’s crib from he first film. This room idea is pretty fantastic, I hope this kid gets into animation now! his room will be forever will inspiration for so many soon to be parents. This replica of Andy’s room (besides a few modifications) is practically everything from the film and from my understanding all it is missing is the mid-century peg-legged desk! what do you think? pretty amazing right?
