The World of Tim Burton: An Art Piece for Collectors by Hot Toys

Tim Burton is taking his international touring exhibition “The World of Tim Burton” to Hong Kong from November 5th, 2016 – January 23rd, 2017. For the tour stop, Hot Toys has been invited to create a high-quality collectible art piece based on Burton's 1980s drawing known as “Untitled (Creature Series)”, one of the signature artworks in the exhibition. “The World of Tim Burton: An Art Piece for Collectors” is a self-manipulating puppet creature that is adorned with Burton's characteristic stripe motif and features a simple color palette of black and white with a hint of red.

Hot Toys goal for this piece was to represent one of the central themes of Burton’s work—that is, to be emotionally felt. The talented team at Hot Toys has faithfully brought Burton's artistic vision to life, transforming the 2D graphic work into a stunning 3D sculpture and collectible art piece.

As a prelude to the opening of “The World of Tim Burton” Hong Kong tour stop exhibition, 300 sets of this limited edition collectible art piece will be exclusively available for pre-order on FringeBacker for fans around the world. Each collectible is approximately 21” tall (including the stand), marked with a unique serial number and Tim Burton's printed autograph.

SDCC 12 Exclusive Disney’s Frankenweenie Sparky-Saurus Vinyl Figure by Funko

Disney and Funko have teamed up once again to produce a really slick looking vinyl figure based on one of the characters from Disney’s highly anticipated new film, Frankenweenie directed by Tim Burton! The San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Sparky-Saurus vinyl figure depicts young Victor’s beloved pet dog turned science experiment. Detailed in black, grey and white to reflect the film’s animation, Sparky-Saurus is attached to a figural base that looks like the homemade movie set Victor constructs in the film.

The San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Sparky-Saurus vinyl figure by Funko has a limited edition run size of 1,000 pieces and can be purchased at the Funko SDCC booth #4829 for $40.

Dark Shadows Screen Print by Ghostco

For some reason The Blot just can’t get excited for Tim Burton’s newest film Dark Shadows starring Johnny Depp. I’m a big fan of both Burton and Depp, and usually I can’t wait to see their collaborations in the theater. But for some reason Dark Shadows just isn’t doing it for me. I know I’ll see it eventually, but it doesn’t have that must see vibe to it. I think maybe it’s reminding me a little too much of 2005’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which is my least favorite Burton/Depp film. This Dark Shadows movie poster by Ghostco is pretty sweet though. I love his use of black in this print and he did a great job capturing Depp’s trademark goofy/creepy look in Mondo's latest release.

Dark Shadows by Ghostco is a 24”x36” hand numbered screen print, and has a limited edition run size of 270 pieces. The print will retail for $45 and goes on sale at a random time on today, Friday, May 11th, at the Mondo online store.

Mars Attacks! Pop! Sci-Fi Vinyl Figure by Funko

If you haven’t jumped on the Funko bandwagon yet, here’s your chance! Funko is about to release a cute, chunky 3.75” vinyl figure of the Martian from Tim Burton's 1996 movie Mars Attack! I know I keep saying this, but I’m constantly amazed at all of the different property licenses Funko has included in this toy line. They go above and beyond to ensure each figure accurately depicts the character it's based on by giving every toy its own unique sculpt. Take the Martian from Mars Attacks! for instance. It includes a crazy looking enlarged brain encased in a clear glass dome, and comes wearing a turquoise spacesuit with a black blaster.

The Martian from Mars Attacks! Pop! Sci-Fi vinyl figure by Funko is not expected to hit store shelves until next month (January 2012) you can pre-order one now from Entertainment Earth here for $9.99 each.

Disney x Medicom Mickey Mouse as The Mad Hatter Vinyl Figure

Medicom announced its newest collaboration with Disney earlier this week, and this time it’s a tie-in to the hugely successful summer blockbuster Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland. The Blot loved Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter in the live action movie adaptation, and Medicom perfectly recreated his look in the film with this Mickey Mouse as The Mad Hatter vinyl collectible doll (VCD). All we need now is a VCD of Mickey Mouse as The Madd Hatter from the classic Disney animated film for a perfect 2 figure set!

The Disney x Medicom Mickey Mouse as The Mad Hatter vinyl figure is approximately 6 inches tall and will retail for around $85 each. This Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland tie-in is scheduled for release in March 2011.

Disney Vinylmation The Nightmare Before Christmas Series

This Friday, September 10th, Disney will be releasing a series of Vinylmation figures based on Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. The Vinylmation The Nightmare Before Christmas Series will include twelve 3 inch figures and two limited edition 9 inch figures. This is sure to be an extremely popular release and will be available for purchase at D-Street at both the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts.


The Disney Vinylmation The Nightmare Before Christmas 3” Series includes Jack Skellington, Sally, Zero, Oogie Boogie, Dr. Finkelstein, Santa Claus, the Mayor of Halloween Town, Lock, Shock, Barrel and Corpse Kid. The two 9” The Nightmare Before Christmas Vinylmation figures are a glow in the dark (GID) Oogie Boogie and a "Sandy Claws" Jack (which comes with a 3” Elf figure). Both 9” Vinylmation The Nightmare Before Christmas figures have a limited edition run size of 1,000 pieces.


The window boxed The Nightmare Before Christmas Vinylmation 3” Series will retail for $9.95 and the corresponding 9” figures should retail for somewhere around $35-50 each. These highly sought after collectible vinyl figures should also be available for purchase online at Disney’s official online store at some point in the near future (if not on Friday).

The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington & Sally 100% Be@rbrick Set

The Blot’s not exactly sure how it happened, but over the years Tim Burton’s stop motion animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas has become as beloved and cherished Disney film. I’d dare say it’s even as popular as some of Disney’s other classic ‘90s animated films like Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. So it should come as no surprise that Medicom is constantly releasing a steady stream of awesome The Nightmare Before Christmas figures, like this set which includes 100% Be@rbricks of Jack Skellington and Sally.


The Disney x Medicom The Nightmare Before Christmas 100% Be@rbrick set featuring Jack Skellington and Sally Be@rbricks will retail for around $25-30 and go on sale sometime in October 2010.

Medicom x Disney Alice In Wonderland Cheshire Cat 400% Be@rbrick

We’re just a few days away from the world premiere of Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland! This live action Disney film has been getting very mixed reviews, but nothing can stop me from seeing this movie. Even Burton and Johnny Depp’s worst collaborations are still entertaining. To commemorate the film’s release, Medicom Toy is releasing a 400% Be@rbrick of everyone’s favorite AIW character, the Cheshire Cat! This detailed figure also goes nicely with the Japanese toy company’s Alice In Wonderland 100% Kubrick & Be@rbrick set currently in stores.


The Medicom x Disney Alice In Wonderland Cheshire Cat 400% Be@rbrick retails for around $70 and is available right now! I’m not sure where you can purchase this figure though, as most 400% Be@rbricks, even if they’re not Japan exclusives, have proven to be hard to track down.

Beetlejuice Mez-Itz by Mezco Toyz

Mezcoy Toyz has some very exciting things in the works for its line of Mez-Itz designer vinyl figures, and at the top of that list is its upcoming Beetlejuice Mez-Itz! Based on the character made famous by actor Michael Keaton in Tim Burton’s classic 1988 film, the Beetlejuice Mez-Itz figure is everything you'd want in a figure based on the ghost with the most!


The Beetlejuice Mez-Itz stands approximately 6 inches tall with a devilish grin on his face and some crazy lifelike hair on his head. Collectors can pre-order this awesome looking figure from EntertainmentEarth.com here for just $11.99. No matter how many times you say his name, Mezco’s Beetlejuice Mez-Itz won't hit stores shelves until sometime in July 2010.

Medicom x Disney Alice In Wonderland 100% Kubrick & Be@rbrick Set

Coming to a store near you very, very soon is the Medicom x Disney Alice In Wonderland 100% Kubrick & Be@rbrick set, featuring a Mad Hatter Kubrick & Cheshire Cat Be@rbrick. These figures look amazing, and I really hope Medicom releases a 400% of this incredibly detailed Mad Hatter vinyl figure.


Official Press Release: Visionary director Tim Burton takes audiences on a journey into Lewis Carroll's beguiling world of Wonderland with his live-action Alice in Wonderland film. A young girl named Alice falls down a rabbit hole, landing in a strange land filled with exotic creatures, demented denizens, and psychotic royalty. Two of the film's characters, the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat, are transformed by the artisans of Medicom into this Kubrick/Be@rbrick set. Each articulated figure stands 2-inches tall and arrives in window-box packaging. Follow the White Rabbit to these curious Kubricks!

The Medicom x Disney Alice In Wonderland 100% Kubrick & Be@rbrick set is scheduled for an April 2010 release, but you can pre-order these figures through EntertainmentEarth.com right now for $18.99 here.

Alice In Wonderland Mad Hatter Character Movie Poster

As a follow up to the two previously released Alice In Wonderland teaser one sheet movie posters seen here, is a brand new promo poster featuring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. While The Blot doesn’t particularly love Depp’s orange wig, the rest of his costume looks spot on. If I had to picture a Tim Burton-esque Mad Hatter this would be it. I don’t know how many more movies Burton and Depp can make together, but I really hope they’ve got a few more in them.


What I didn’t realize when I first blogged about these trippy looking teaser movie posters is that they were actually part of a 3 poster set with the Mad Hatter character one sheet above. The three posters connect together seamlessly to form one giant image, which you can see in all its glory below. From these posters alone you can really get a feel for this film and almost see the rich world Burton has created while re-imagining the classic Lewis Carroll novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Director Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland, starring Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter, and Anne Hathaway, premieres in theaters on March 5, 2010 in Disney 3D.

Alice In Wonderland One Sheet Movie Posters

The Blot is pretty sure Disney’s upcoming live action adaptation of Alice In Wonderland is going to be sick. Everything about the film is so trippy and abstract just the way Tim Burton likes it. The trailer was great and these new one sheet movie posters are equally as good. Just looking at them is giving me a headache (but in a good way).


I seriously don’t know where Burton comes up with his ideas, but his vision is definitely unlike any others’. I seriously can’t wait to see this movie, but what’s really bad is we still have three and a half more months to wait before Alice In Wonderland hits theaters. Shouldn’t this have been Disney’s big holiday release!?! I know kids and adults alike will be lining on March 5, 2010 to journey down the rabbit hole in amazing Disney 3D.


Alice In Wonderland is directed by Tim Burton and stars Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Michael Sheen, Stephen Fry, Alan Rickman, Crispin Glover, Matt Lucas and Christopher Lee.

Johnny Cupcakes x Pee-wee’s Big Adventure T-Shirt

I know The Blot Says… has been very t-shirt centric the past two days, but I couldn’t ignore the newest Johnny Cupcakes movie themed tee released just yesterday. Last Saturday, August 22nd, JC hosted another one of his extremely popular midnight movie screenings at the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline, MA, this time showing the 1985 classic Pee-wee’s Big Adventure starring Paul Reubens and directed by Tim Burton. Did you know Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure was the first full length movie Burton ever directed?


According to the Johnny Cupcakes blog, Pee-Wee Herman was one of JC’s biggest role models growing up and helped turn him into the weird, jokester he is today. Johnny even credits Mr. Reubens for much of his success. I have to say, this Pee-wee’s Big Adventure tribute shirt is killer. I love the t-shirt’s huge font and futuristic retro look. Plus, who wouldn’t want to sport a shirt featuring Pee-wee Herman’s famed stolen red bike. When I was a kid I wanted the red bicycle from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure so badly! I didn’t even care that it had the red streamers coming off its handles. I think this is one JC t-shirt I might have to order.


The Johnny Cupcakes Big Adventure t-shirt sells for $35.00 and comes in both guys and girls styled tees. You can purchas this Pee-wee’s Big Adventure tribute t-shirt directly from the Johnny Cupcakes online store here.

Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland First Look Photos

It would be near impossible for The Blot to say anything negative about Disney’s upcoming live action film Alice In Wonderland because I absolutely love any movie that pairs director Tim Burton with superstar Johnny Depp (yes even the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remake). So I was extremely excited to find out last week that Disney had finally released the first stills and promotional pictures of what is sure to be one of the craziest adaptations of Lewis Carroll’s classic novel.


What I love about Tim Burton the most is that the man has a vision and he goes with it, no matter what path that vision takes him. Both he and Depp have shown time and time again they have no fear of what others might think of their work. Now people may be turned off by the warped look Burton gives to many of his films, but I think that’s part of the reason I enjoy his movies so much. You just know going in to a Tim Burton film to expect the unexpected! Plus, more often than not his films star one of the greatest actors in Hollywood, Johnny Depp (Depp has now appeared in seven of Burton’s movies).



While we still don't know too much about Alice In Wonderland, from the few glimpses we’ve seen so far I know it will be visually stunning. Just look at the colors in these stills and promo photos. The film itself is very unique in that it is live action “merged with CG animation and motion-capture creatures and then transferred into 3-D.” (link)



While the live action movie is based on Carroll’s 1856 novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the film's storyline has been “modernized.” In Burton’s version “Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn't remember.” (link) What’s in store for young Alice once down the rabbit hole is anyone’s guess!




Alice In Wonderland stars Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Michael Sheen, Stephen Fry, Alan Rickman, Crispin Glover, Matt Lucas and Christopher Lee, and will be released in theaters on March 5, 2010.

Disney Finds Its Leading Man In Depp

After helping Disney to earn $2.6 billion with the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, the House of Mouse is locking down Johnny Depp with a three picture deal. (link) Depp has proven over the past 5-10 years that he really is a top tier talent with the ability to open even the most eclectic of movies. It is just unfortunate that this deal includes Depp reprising his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in a fourth Pirates movie.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. But similar to the Matrix trilogy, each subsequent movie has gotten worse. Now the Pirates sequels are no where near as bad as the Matrix sequels, but you get my point. Hopefully the upcoming fourth Capt. Jack Sparrow movie will benefit from a new and unconnected storyline. Also as part of the deal, Depp has agreed to star in the Jerry Bruckheimer produced remake of The Lone Ranger as the masked hero’s sidekick, Tonto.


And rounding out the three movie deal will be Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. Depp will star as the Mad Hatter, a role he was born to play. The movie, scheduled to be released in 2010, “will be shot using 3-D and performance capture technology similar to that used for Beowulf.” (link) It sounds like a very cool project, and I cannot wait to see Burton’s bizarre take on this children’s classic. Alice in Wonderland will mark the seventh time Depp has starred in a Tim Burton directed feature film (Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street)
