Our friends at Funko have sent over more picture goodness, this time of the Disney variety. First off, we have four different Disney Collectible Vinyl Figures. Each of the figures will be available October 10th and feature a catchphrase on the base. You can choose from Malificent, Tinker Bell, Cinderella or Ariel — but of course, you’ll probably choose all four.

Mezco Presents All Treats, No Tricks Mystery Box Featuring Red Krampus
New York– As a chill creeps into the air and the leaves explode with color, thoughts naturally turn to Halloween. This year, Mezco makes the time honored-tradition of Trick Or Treating even more thrilling by removing the tricks with their All Treats, No Tricks Mystery Box. Each of Mezco’s 666 Mystery Boxes will contain a full size 10 inch Living Dead Doll, and one of those 666 dolls will be a one of a kind Red Krampus!

In the past, I’ve only given this comic a “Quick Look” so to avoid people getting spoiled. But I can’t talk about this comic without spoilers. I tried, I really tried, but nope, can’t do it. So: SPOILERS AFTER THE IMAGES!

We all knew this was coming, and Chromedome was probably the most anticipated figure, so it makes sense the Transformers Club would reveal his figure last. I really love the look of Chromedome’s deco on Wheeljack’s body. It’s a fantastic recreation of the G1 character, and yeah, the robot does the same fakery with the chest panel, but it still looks great. Except for that CG head. It just looks out of place, right now, and we’ll have to wait to see production samples. It looks like it’ll be good, but there’s something a bit… off about it, with it not being

Last time in The Transformers: Regeneration One: Hot Rod was sent spiralling through time by Primus. Okay, when I first heard about this Zero Issue, I admit I was excited about it, primarily for three words: Geoff. Slaggin’. Senior. Yes, UK/US Marvel Transformers artist extraordinaire, Geoff Senior, would be returning to pencil interior pages of a US Transformers comic, for the first time in over a decade. He’s provided retailer incentive covers for RGO, and he did some work for the UK comic back in 2007, but unless I’m missing some information, the last pages he pencilled was for BotCon 2000’s “Reaching the Omega
