Vampire Slayer Blade Finally Getting His Own POP! Vinyl Toy

Published

We miss you, Blade. Where the hell have you gone?

With Marvel rebooting all of their iconic characters and bringing them into standalone movies, mashup movies, and television shows, it’s sort of surprising that Blade hasn’t been brought back to life in any capacity. It’s been well over ten years since the third and most recent installment in the film franchise hit theaters, and though Wesley Snipes has been practically begging to reprise the role for many years now, it doesn’t seem like anything is actually in the works. Is it time for a fourth movie? Maybe a reboot? Or how about a Netflix series? Just bring him back, dammit!

But I digress. We’re here to talk about a badass new toy.

The Previews Exclusive Blade POP! vinyl toy, just announced and unveiled by Funko, will be available at your local comic shop soon, and it depicts the human-vampire hybrid in all his ass-kicking glory. Fangs visible and at full attention, Blade is rocking a pair of his signature shades and carrying a big ass sword, so be sure to keep him away from all the vampire toys in your collection. Unless, ya know, you want to let him have a little fun.

Check out Blade’s first ever POP! vinyl toy below.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
