[New post] Doctor Who Big Finish upcoming releases

New post on The Daily P.O.P. Doctor Who Big Finish upcoming releases by dailypop The Doctor Who Lost Stories line continues this Summer with three installments from the Colin Baker Sixth Doctor era. These audios are based on ideas, proposals or in some cases full scripts that were submitted then dropped from production for various reasons (and why oh why were any of these passed up in favor of Timelash?). Also, Sylvester McCoy, the Seventh Doctor, starts a new trilogy with Ace and Hex in what promises to be a major turning point.

Whilst they sleep, vicious thieves are after this force's secrets, and will stop at nothing to find them. But will they find more than they bargained for?

It is also a very timely tale at a time of controversy over the increasing chasm between rich and poor. The Happy Prince has lived a life of opulence but has died young, and his soul inhabits a beautiful ruby encrusted statue covered all over in gold leaf. From his perch high above the city he is witness to all the poverty, misery, and hopelessness in which his people have been living. When a small barn swallow in flight to the warm south ahead of the approaching winter stops to rest upon the statue the Happy Prince prevails upon him to delay his travels in order to remove his gold leaf a piece at a time and shower it upon the poor citizens. Out of love for the Happy Prince the swallow does his bidding. As the days pass the Prince's beauty is stripped away and as winter sets in the bird's fate is sealed. In the spring the townspeople finding only a dull statue with a broken lead heart and a dead bird consign the worthless objects to the ash heap. Only an emissary of God recognizes them as the most valuable treasures of the city and brings them to the gardens of heaven. ________________________________________________________ Frazetta Funny Stuff HC Frazetta Funny Stuff HC Frank Frazetta!

Even those aware of this wonderful Frazetta art don't know the extent--this book is a whopping 256 page, large-format pages! Did we mention ferocious, terrifying wolves and swampland creatures in the plethora of animal stories illustrations as only Frazetta could draw them? There's also lions and tigers and bears--oh my!--before Frazetta's famous paintings captured the same subjects. But wait, there's more! (As they say.) You'll see the roots of the Frazetta Girl in the sexy Kathy teenage girl adventures. And there's the hot Daisy Mae-look-alike, Clarabelle, in the hillbilly hi-jinks stories of her beau, Looey Lazybones (Holy Li'l Abner!). The introduction is by the famed cartoon director Ralph Bakshi who well knew Frazetta and closely worked with him when they co-produced the animated feature film, 'Fire and Ice.' Bakshi shares rare insights, anecdotes, photos and Frazetta drawings. And Bakshi has created a special painting of Frazetta and himself as funny animals for this beautiful hardcover full-color coffee table book!

Titan Merchandise continues their highly-anticipated Star Trek Masterpiece Collection maxi-bust line with the second item in their inaugural release, Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation! This beautifully-sculpted 8" bust captures so completely quiet stoicism of Sir Patrick Stewart's legendary performance as the commanding officer of the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-D, that you can almost hear his stentorian voice say, 'Make it so, Number One!' Standing 8" tall, Captain Picard is brought to life with amazingly accuracy in this astonishingly detailed three-quarter length premium sculpt. ________________________________________________________ Star Wars Kenner R2-D2 7.5-in Action Figure Star Wars Kenner R2-D2 7.5-in Action Figure Just like they were when you were a kid, only BIGGER!
