TOYCOLLECTR Issue 24 Hits Newsstands With Exclusive Look at Factory Entertainment's Upcoming The Mummy Collectibles
TOYCOLLECTR Issue 24 is now available at comic shops, bookstores, newsstands, and specialty retailers, delivering another behind-the-scenes look at the world of collectible action figures and pop culture memorabilia.Among the highlights of the new issue is an in-depth feature examining Factory Entertainment's upcoming sixth-scale action figures based on the beloved 1999 adventure film The Mummy. The article, written by toy industry insider and pop-culture advocate Mike Drake, explores the development of the collectible line and the enduring appeal of one of modern cinema's most beloved action heroes.
The feature arrives as Factory Entertainment opens pre-orders for its highly anticipated Rick O'Connell sixth-scale collector figure, based on Brendan Fraser's iconic portrayal of the adventurer and treasure hunter from Universal Pictures' blockbuster film.
"The Mummy remains one of the most beloved adventure films of its era," Drake writes in the feature. "Nearly three decades after its release, audiences continue to embrace its blend of action, humor, mythology, and unforgettable characters."
The Rick O'Connell figure presents a detailed likeness of Fraser and includes a screen-accurate costume, multiple weapons, interchangeable hands, The Book of the Dead, the Key to Hamunaptra, and other accessories inspired by the film. The collectible also features independently adjustable eyeballs, a scenic display backdrop, and premium collector packaging designed by Factory Entertainment.
Drake brings a unique perspective to the article. Beyond his work in the toy industry, he is known for his long-running art project, an eleven-year global treasure hunt involving miniature sarcophagi hidden on beaches around the world. The project has received international media attention and recently entered the collection of Ripley's Believe It or Not!.
Issue 24 also features the world premiere reveal of NECA's upcoming The Muppets Christmas Carol Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim action figures, represented by Kermit the Frog and Robin. Readers will find an exclusive interview with project lead Trevor Zammit discussing the future of NECA's Muppets line and potential additions from Sesame Street.
Additional features include an exclusive Q&A with Steve Forde of Go Hero, a toy-hunting adventure through Toylanta, a look at action figures collectors never expected to see produced, and coverage of the latest releases from Mattel, Meta Travelers, LEGO, Ramen Toy, and other leading manufacturers.
Published bi-monthly, TOYCOLLECTR is dedicated to uncovering the stories behind the collectibles that have shaped generations of fans.
