Bruce Gets Bloody for Exclusive New “Ash vs. Evil Dead” Toy

Published

The world is not that terrible of a place when you consider that you can walk into Toys R Us and walk out with a Bruce Campbell toy under your arm. I did just that the other day, when I found Funko’s recently released “Ash vs. Evil Dead” POP! vinyl toys at my local store. The first wave included Ash, Pablo, Kelly and Ruby, and a new exclusive variant was just unveiled.

Exclusively available through Entertainment Earth and set to begin shipping in April, the variant Ash POP! toy is splattered with blood, presumably from a recent encounter with a Deadite. Just like the standard version of the toy, Ash is carrying his boomstick and he’s rocking his chainsaw hand. Actually, it’s the same exact toy as the one already released… only way bloodier.

Things are about to get bloody as Ash battles the evil dead. With a chainsaw hand, Bruce Campbell returns to his Army of Darkness roots as Ashley “Ash” J. Williams in the Starz’s series Ash vs Evil Dead. As if Ash in Pop! Vinyl form wasn’t cool enough, this exclusive version features the character splattered in a fresh layer of blood from a recent battle with the baddies! He’ll make all your Ash Evil Dead figures look groovy by proximity! Measuring about 3 3/4-inches tall, the Ash vs Evil Dead Ash Bloody Pop! Vinyl Figure – EE Exclusive comes packaged in a window display box. Don’t miss it!

Check it out below and grab yours from Entertainment Earth.

Legendary Grimdark ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Artist John Blanche Has Passed Away at 78

Published

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.
