Several months back, Devils Head Productions had announced that their first Japanese soft vinyl toy - the Alavaka - would retire. Well, that day has come. DHP has announced a few releases that will hit their web-shop beginning tomorrow (July 20th 2019).

DRUNKEN SUNSET ALAVAKA

These Alavaka have been cast in opaque white Japanese vinyl and painted with shades of blue, green, red, brown, tan, black and metallic sprays. There is a single chase figure that has been cast in yellow vinyl and it will be sold at random. Comes with an assortment of vinyl stickers. Enjoy your rest my friend! Made in Japan.

BARKS AND WRECK ADVENTURE PACKS
On October 10th 2018, the world tragically lost Scott Godon-Decoteau. There will never be another person who embraced the adventurous aspect of life more than he did. That spirit was "in your face" obvious with anything and everything he did with Barks and Wreck. These mixed parts toys make it possible for the full color pallet of his company to be present in each set. Buy a toy and GIVE in to fun and adventure. 100% of the proceeds from the sales will go directly to Scott's son. Comes with an assortment of stickers. Made in Japan. Not intended for children under 14 years old.

Life-Size Masterpiece Series – Tony Stark’s Arc Reactor

Tony Stark created the very first Arc Reactor to keep him alive - and power his first suit of armor in - the original Iron Man film. Based on the first Marvel Studio production - Iron Man, Hot Toys has a new piece from their Life-Size Masterpiece Series with Tony Stark’s Arc Reactor which was given by Tony’s personal assistant Pepper as a desktop ornament. The Arc Reactor stands approximately 6 inches in height. Recreated with diecast and copper wire material, it features two LED lighting modes, which include a light-on effect and a breathing light effect.

The piece is scheduled to be released around Q3 of 2020. While it's not currently available to pre-order at Sideshow Collectibles, I'm guessing they will have it up following San Diego Comic-Con.

Pop! Mascots – NHL Series (But where’s Stormy?!?)

You might have though that Funko's Pop! NHL line was only for the players...well they've announced the new Pop! Mascots: NHL Series. There's the Chicago Blackhawks’ Tommy Hawk, New Jersey Devils’ NJ Devil, Boston Bruins’ Blades, Philadelphia Flyers’ Gritty, and Vegas Golden Knights’ Chance. There's also a Grosnor Exclusive in the Toronto Maple Leafs' Carlton. But my question is....where is everyone's favorite Ice Hog....Stormy?

Look for the Pop! NHL Mascots to be available over at Amazon.com (where you can already purchase a number of the Pop! NHL players...).
