Sideshow’s ‘Beetlejuice’ Comes With a Wicked Tombstone Display
It’s showtime! From Tim Burton’s supernatural cult classic comedy, Sideshow revealed their hotly anticipated “Beetlejuice Sixth Scale Figure” and Tombstone Environment!
Presenting Michael Keaton as the self-proclaimed “ghost with the most,” Beetlejuice is dressed to impress in his black and white striped suit, with wide eyes and wild hair, writes the press release.
Crafted on a fully-articulated poseable body, the fast-talking ghoul comes with a variety of swap-out hands and accessories to liven things up when pitching his qualifications as a bio-exorcist. Packed with personality and screen accurate details, the “Beetlejuice Sixth Scale Figure” and Tombstone Environment are must-haves for fans of Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice.
So go ahead, make your millennium!
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
