Coverage From Toy Fair 2011

Action Figure Insider is hanging around at Toy Fair and taking a ton of pictures of everything, which includes the BifBangPow! stuff I mentioned in the previous update from this morning. Above and below you can see some more clear shots of some of the new figures. Apparently the Jonas Sr./Young Rusty set will be a SDCC exclusive, so con attendees have that to look forward to (though it's they're anything like last year's 24/21 exclusive set you'll still be able to buy them yourself). Click the pictures to see much larger, uncropped versions.

These look amazing. Three complaints though....

1. Why is Brock holding a gun?
2. Jonas looks waaay too creepy in the second picture. Hopefully it doesn't come out that eerily.
3. Shouldn't Billy's head be bigger than his body, not smaller, and vice versa? Huh.

They're likely prototypes, as they often are at these shows. Billy will probably be fixed. If anything he should use Rusty's body. Also Brock, uh, maybe he just disarmed someone? (or maybe they accidentally gave him Shore Leave's prop)

Kind of sad about the distinct lack of Sgt. Hatred!

Wow, that didn't even occur to me- that is odd. Shore Leave and an alternate Brock get higher priority over Sgt. Hatred? What do you think the story is there?

And how about a Dermott? Or would I be one of the only folks who wants one??

I love Dermott, but I think he'd be way lower priority than everything they've done so far, except for stuff like SPHINX Brock.

I'm really sad too. I thought Hatred would be in the next wave...

Judging by the shrink ray in Billy's hand I wouldn't be surprised if they made the Shrink Ray Testing version of billy.

Billy is creepy as hell, and Jonas' proportions don't really make sense either, but they're all pretty bitchin'. I love how naive everything about these toys is; Molotov looks to be one of my favorites so far for how silly her body is.

Man I hope so. It's pretty terrible when you hope for Jonas and young Rusty figures, only for them to be convention exclusives. *sad*

First footage! Title revealed! https://youtu.be/eXJ5OM9RfV8 Synopsis and cast too! “In The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, a nationwide manhunt for Hank Venture leads to untold dangers and unexpected revelations, while the Monarch is literally out for Dr. Venture’s blood. An imposing evil from the past reemerges to wreak havoc on the Ventures, the Guild, and even the Monarch marriage—it will take friends and foes alike to restore the Ventures’ world to order… or end it once and for all.” The voice cast includes the returning James Urbaniak as Dr. Venture, Patrick Warburton as Brock Samson, Michael Sinterniklaas as Dean Venture, Chris McCulloch as Hank Venture, and The Venture Bros. co-creator Doc Hammer as Dr. Mrs. The Monarch. (Hammer and series co-creator Jackson Publick also wrote the script, and Publick directed.) Other voice cast members include Nina Arianda as Mantilla, Clancy Brown as Daisy and Red Death, John Hodgeman as Snoopy, Hal Lublin as Clayton, Jane Lynch as Bobbi St. Simone, Charles Parnell as Jefferson Twilight, Jay Pharoah as Nuno Blood, Steven Rattazzi as Dr. Orpheus, JK Simmons as Ben, and Dana Snyder as The Alchemist. A project of Titmouse, Adult Swim, and Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, all that radiant baboon heart blood will be gushing forth later this year.

It's a month old but there's not much news here for two years at a time, so whatever :) https://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/the-venture-bros/281421/the-venture-bros-season-8-jackson-publick-doc-hammer

Okay, Venturoos. Here's what ya get for the Extras, at least on the DVD version. I felt it was a little light, but that's just my opinion. Deleted Scenes (as always) - Some are B&W sketches with the dialog, others are animated with the dialog. Ghost in the Pro-Blem - An extended view of the distorted images of events from the Pro-BLEM's point of view. Maybe there are some clues hidden in it if you like frame-by-frame advancing. Maybe not. Sirena Goes Off... - Cristin Milioti ad-libbing way more dialog than the script calls for. Poor Rocco. Promo - Basically the season 7 promo. Maybe there's Easter Eggs to find. I haven't done any extensive searching yet. If anyone finds any feel free to post them here!
