Introduction and Zencastr Sponsorship
00:00:00
Speaker
Dave, you know why I love using Zencaster? Is it because the recording quality is better than other methods of recording a podcast virtually? Nope. Is it because they offer a free version for hobbyists just getting started? No, not that. Is it because it's super easy to use for everyone and none of our guests have ever had an issue using it? That's not it. Is it because they offer automatic post-production and transcription services? Negative.
00:00:29
Speaker
Stop burying the lead. Why do you love Zencaster? It's because Zencaster is all of the things you just said, Dave. Well, and they sponsor this pod. That's right.

AIC News and Collectibles Update
00:01:28
Speaker
Welcome to AIC News. Give us a few minutes and we'll give you the goods. I'm the two by four Lego brick you stepped on yesterday for the third time this week. And I'm here with a chewed up power sword. Dave and Eric are out.
00:01:43
Speaker
something new and something old from NECA. NECA has posted pre-orders for their new seven-inch scale Ultimate Nun figure from the Conjuring universe and the Toony Terrors 2 pack of Jigsaw and Billy from the Saw franchise. Along with these new releases, they also posted pre-orders for reruns of their Xenomorph Queen from Aliens and Bat Gremlin from Gremlins 2, The New Batch. All of these can be found on Entertainment Earth.
00:02:12
Speaker
visit adventuresincollectingpodcast.com forward slash links to find them. The Legend of the Monkey King grows. Four Horsemen Studios opened and have subsequently closed two order windows for the next character in their growing Figura Obscura line. Wukong the Monkey King.
00:02:32
Speaker
If you were able to order him, expect him sometime in June. And I would stay tuned as we saw a variant version of Wukong during the Chubsy Wubsy grand opening in Little Falls, New Jersey. So potentially, like the previous figures in the figure of Skuriline, maybe there is a retail or exclusive on the horizon.
Action Figures Announcements
00:02:55
Speaker
Hasbro has two new major releases up for pre-order this week. Firstly, in the Marvel Legends line, you can find pre-orders for the comic Drax and Moondragon two-pack, exclusively on Hasbro Pulse for $50.
00:03:09
Speaker
Secondly, Drizzt from Dungeons and Dragons comes to the six inch scale golden archive collection in collaboration with his creator and author of Legend of Drizzt, R.A. Salvatore. Pre-order Drizzt on Amazon for $30. And again, you can find links to him on adventuresandcollectingpodcast.com forward slash links. Chewed up sword, over to you.
00:03:35
Speaker
This week, McFarlane showed off the next three movie maniacs. The limited-run figures include Sloth from The Goonies, Alan from The Hangover, and Gandalf the Grey from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The six-inch figures come with a display, backdrop, and hidden surprise. They can be pre-ordered from select outlets now.
00:03:57
Speaker
This week, Funko released their latest WWE pop final. The Funko Shop exclusive is a metallic version of Rocky Maivia, commemorating his debut at Survivor Series 1996. If you missed it on Funko's eBay shop, it is now available on Funko.com for $15. On behalf of myself and a chewed up power sword, this has been your AIC News Brief.
BlendJet 2 Promotion

Speaker
Face it, shaker bottles suck. Your shakes always come out clumpy and they're a pain to clean.
00:04:36
Speaker
You're right, Dave. That's why I decided to ditch my shaker bottle for good and get myself a BlendJet 2 portable blender. It makes perfectly blended shakes in just 20 seconds. BlendJet 2 is portable, so you can blend up a smoothie at work, a protein shake at the gym, or even a margarita on the beach. It's small enough to fit in a cup holder, but powerful enough to blast through tough ingredients like ice and frozen fruit with ease.
00:05:05
Speaker
BlendJet 2 is whisper quiet so you can make your morning smoothie without waking up the whole house. It lasts for over 15 blends and recharges quickly via USB-C. Best of all, BlendJet 2 cleans itself. Just blend water with a drop of soap and you're good to go. With an array of colors, patterns, or even Disney-inspired designs to choose from, show off your personality while you're blending up something delicious on the go. What are you waiting for?
