AICNN, where Toy News matters.

Speaker
Welcome to AIC News. Give us a few minutes and we'll give you the goods. Let's get you caught up on the Toy News highlights as we head into a new week.
Indie Toy Kickstarter Updates
00:00:22
Speaker
Let's kick off this edition of AIC News by checking in on some popular indie toy Kickstarter campaigns. Featured on last week's episode of the pod, Monstores is closing in on funding. With just under $12,000 to go and 11 days left on the campaign, it's looking good for Dave Igo and team.
00:00:40
Speaker
Series two of nine to five warriors launched last week and with 26 days to go has already cleared a third of its funding. Finally, wandering planet toys, one 12 scale Laurel and hardy figures have succeeded their funding goals, meaning Stan and Ollie are coming to your shelves in the future.
New York Comic Con Previews
00:01:00
Speaker
Find links to back all of these projects on our Instagram at AIC underscore podcast and stay tuned for more on nine to five warriors here on our podcast feed next week. New York Comic Con is just a few weeks away and the exclusives are coming in hot. Neko will be bringing with them a glow-in-the-dark Ben Cooper Halloween kid, Remco-inspired glow-in-the-dark Invisible Man, and Kevin Eastman from his uncredited cameo in as a New York City garbage man from the 1990 Ninja Turtles film.
00:01:35
Speaker
Moving on to Bandai, they will have a special SH Figure Arts Event exclusive edition of Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegito, and the folks at Mondo are bringing a set of four Sofubi Black and White Ninja Turtles. New York Comic Con will take place on October 17th through the 20th at the Javits Center, and we will be there with full coverage of the event.
New Pre-orders: Beetlejuice & Optimus Prime
00:01:59

Lastly, two very fun pre-orders you might have missed as they kind of slipped under the radar. The Bondi Tamashi Nation's SH Figure Arts Beetlejuice is up at Entertainment Earth for $95. He comes with a bunch of heads, including a shrunken one, as well as the Beetlejuice sign and a tombstone, and the 40th anniversary G1 Optimus Prime on retro packaging.
