“The Twilight Zone” Gets Colored For the #SDCC
As perennial San Diego Comic-Con fan favorites, Bif Bang Pow! has collaborated with Entertainment Earth to bring you the next series of convention exclusive 3 ¾-inch color action figures inspired by The Twilight Zone – introducing series 4!
Designed similar to the action figures released in the ’70s, each retro-styled color figure features 5 points of articulation (neck, shoulders, and hips) and showcases a classic character with episode-specific accessories. Each convention exclusive action figure is a limited edition of only 672 pieces – with each piece in the run individually numbered on a holographic sticker.
The Twilight Zone Don Carter 3 3/4-Inch Action Figure In Color – Convention Exclusive celebrates The Twilight Zone episode “Nick of Time” – featuring William Shatner as Don Carter. This unique figure comes complete with a miniature Mystic Seer inspired by the same fortune-telling machine shown inside the famous Busy Bee Cafe.
The Twilight Zone Jerry and Willie 3 3/4-Inch Action Figure In Color – Convention Exclusive pays homage to The Twilight Zone episode “The Dummy”. This rare figure of the persecuted ventriloquist appropriately comes with his deranged dummy – which also includes 5 points of articulation. But that’s not all… Willie also features a hand slot in the back, so you can pose Jerry and Willie together!
The Twilight Zone Hansen 3 3/4-Inch Action Figure In Color – Convention Exclusive salutes The Twilight Zone episode “A Quality of Mercy” – featuring Leonard Nimoy as Hansen, the radio operator. This exclusive show-inspired figure of the World War II character comes complete with his battlefield accessories: removable helmet, rifle, and field radio that opens to reveal a pull-out phone.
These are limited edition Entertainment Earth Convention Exclusive figures and won’t last long!

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
