Awesome pics, looking forward to these in December, and I hope those warriors get made at some point.

Everything is looking pretty good with these. Its a shame they didn't have some sort of unpainted weapons pack or accessories in the kickstarter as a goal straight after titan skeletons, it might of been reachable as those painted skeleton warriors seemed so far away. But nevermind, at least skeletons on their own are pretty awesome already. I will be looking forward to watching the series on dvd, and Captain Power, if they are ever released here.
Both were released in 2012 dude, and to be honest I don't think I've seen any store locally offer them since that time.
The GOOD news is that both sets are DVD Region Free, meaning that regardless of what DVD player you have OR where you are in the world, they will work in your machine.
(Ignore Amazon stating that they're Region 1: United States and Canada Only, it's complete beryllium baloney)
Captain Power & Skeleton Warriors can be ordered from Amazon for REALLY good prices (It's where I bought my set from) - So if that's an option, I highly recommend it Defcon.![]()

So last Saturday I had a package arrive that contained some pretty wicked items, all the way from the OctoberToys, courtesy of George!
Contained within was the seriously awesome Metal Weapons Pack, along with a copy of Luc Mayrand's original Concept Art of the Battle-Axe! - which we've recently learned was an included weapon with the original Playmate's iteration of Dagger:
The production quality of these (Lead-free) Cast Pewter pieces are magnificent!, so props to the bloke who produced them but even bigger kudos has got to go to George Gaspar, as the sculpts of the Halberd, Battle-Axe & the Baron's Sword are bloody brilliant!
Halberd:
Battle-Axe:
Baron Dark's Sword:
Unfortunately, I don't presently own any 4" (1:84) Scale figures in order to model such Instruments of Destruction - So the duty fell to Playmate's "Nick-Toons: TMNT" Donnie!
(The COOLEST of the Brothers-Green I might add!)
...so although (OG) Krang may not feel the same way,, I on the other hand absolutely love what is the 1st pieces of Official Skeleton Warriors products in 20 years!
- They look superb, their weighted just right and they will serve as excellent armaments for Baron Dark & the Titan Skeletons come December!
