SPOTLIGHT ON: WOTU - WRESTLERS OF THE UNIVERSE: DEAD DIEBIA$E, MONEYBASH, MERMANIAC & THE 2-BADDERS: NUKE & CLUTCH by GOODLEG TOYS


What have we here? It looks like a Wrestlers Of The Universe Bootleg!

About 3 months ago, your old pal Hoardax initiated contact with some of his favourite Art Toy creators, Luke Toywalker, Ryan Hall and Eric Nilla. I asked them if they'd be interested in having their work "spotlighted" right here on Hoard World, and they were all nice enough to agree. They immediately sent me a bunch of info and were incredibly friendly and helpful. Brimming with earnest excitement and a sense of purpose, I took a stack of photos of their stuff and then.....ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENED!

Like, for ages.

Until right now.

I'm not going to delve any further into my time management skills (should I ever get around to posting ROUND 2 of the perennial favourite that is the ASK HOARDAX segment, the definitive origin of that particular anomaly will rear its untimely head), but I would like to express my regrets at not getting this stuff out a lot sooner.

Let's begin with part one of the trilogy: WRESTLERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

EXCLUSIVE REVEAL: GENERAL SKALE & DELGON FROM THE SLIMES WAVE 2 by RAMPAGEO INDUSTRIES!

General Skale from Slimes Wave 2
If you know Hoardax, then you'll know that he likes slime. He does have a plastic slime-filled heart after all.

So, it should be no surprise to you Hoard Worlders at home, that he is incredibly proud to share with you this exclusive reveal from our good friends over at Doom Kick!

The next release in The Exciting World of Jalldoon: Slimes from Rampageo Industries is right around the corner!

This release consists of four All New SLIMES, as well as an all new full size magnet articulated figure and a few surprises!

We previously covered the first series of Rampageo Industries' Slimes right HERE.

Following Preternia.com's earlier reveals of Princess Ikari and King Valdar, HOARD WORLD is exclusively previewing the next two evil characters from this brand new wave. The fearsome General Skale and the plague-bringing Delgon (brother of wave 1's Jelgon) are ready to bring ruin to the forces of good!

Get on it.

GUEST SPOTS AT THE EPIC REVIEW: RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD'S TARMAN, MARVEL ZOMBIES' COLONEL AMERICA & ZOMBIE SUPERMAN?


Late last month, your old pal Hoardax did a series of zombie-based guest spots for The Epic Review's Resident Evil Anniversary Week. For those of you who missed the constant plugs for these over at the Hoard World Facey B, here's a blog based summary. I love clip shows.


You can read the spotlight on the 2012 Amok Time Toys release of the Tarman figure from Return of the Living Dead right here.

Please note that for the duration of these guest "reviews" I thought it was hilarious to refer to eBay as "Michael eBay." Oh what fun!


Most of us are well aware that due to a series of convenient yet unfortunate circumstances, Cap is a Man Out Of Time. But what about a Captain America review that's also been chronologically displaced?

Travel all the way back to the year 2007 AD and pretend that Diamond Select's Marvel Zombies Colonel America only just came out RIGHT HERE.



Lastly, but certainly not leastly, I took a brief look at this eBay purchased Superman Figure anomaly and incongruously likened his existence to Clive Barker's Hellraiser.


You can read all about the mysterious "Zombie Superman" right HERE.

And that's it!

Please enjoy responsibly.

yr pal,

Hoardax.

QUICK UPDATE: WHERE HAS ALL THE HOARD WORLD GONE?


Hi everybody!

A couple of weeks ago we upgraded the look of the Hoard World blog. Unfortunately, due to poor formatting practices of the past, this means that a massive chunk of Ye Olde Hoard World (predominantly almost everything from 2012 and one or two from 2013) now needs to be re-worked so you can even read it again properly. Given that a lot of it is older material (and some of it being not even very good), your pal Hoardax has been taking his sweet time and prioritising what goes back up first.

Rest assured, everything will be back up within the next little while. We say "little while" because it should be clear to regular readers by now that Hoardax has absolutely no concept of time. It's just safer to say a "little while." In Hoard World Time, this could mean a few days or a couple of months. We're hoping it's the former.

This new format shouldn't affect brand new posts but in terms of any currently live entries that link back to earlier entries (especially something like the recent 1st anniversary retrospective entry which is littered with links to previous articles etc), obviously those links will be redundant for now.

We apologise for any convenience. (If any)

Get On Board The Hoard!
