POP CULTURE SHOCK COLLECTIBLES ANNOUNCES DARKCHYLDE 'ARIEL' STATUE


Pop Culture Shock Collectibles is proud to announce the Darkchylde 'Ariel' Statue based on Randy Queens hit comic Darkchylde.

The Ariel Statue is 10” tall , will be limited to 500 pcs worldwide and is scheduled to ship Fall 2010 with an MSRP of $200.00.

It will be available for pre-order on April 22th through Sideshow ( http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=14515 ) , Diamond Distribution Previews, as well as specialty stores.

Also available strictly through SideshowToy.com is an extremely limited version (150 pieces) featuring a light-up base with an MSRP of $225.00.

May is Darkchylde Month

With the triumphant release of the highly anticipated crossover with Top Cow's The Darkness, and her first ever statue release through Jerry Macaluso's PopCutureShock, fans of Randy Queen's nightmare haunted beauty Ariel Chylde will be in for some happy surprises this May. And Darkchylde excitement should hit a fever pitch when test footage for a Darkchylde film created by the Academy award winning Weta Workshop hits the net around the same time.

"The tale of a beautiful, but cursed southern teen who can become any of the creatures from her many recurring nightmares was a bonafide late 90's sensation, seeing the character realized in comics, trading cards, action figures, skateboards, apparel, mini busts, and more" says creator and writer, Randy Queen, "and it is with great joy that all these exciting new elements are congealing at this time, with the Top Cow Crossover, the Statue from PopCultureShock Collectibles, and the release of the Weta Test Footage. This is a concept fans have have shown they love, and there's just not that many comic characters not introduced in the 60's or prior with any real staying power. I'm delighted the plight of Ariel Chylde has endured and proved so memorable for fans around the world, and it'll be terrific to see where her wings carry her from here."

Cover by ALAN DAVIS
Solve everything! Inside a room kept secret from even his closest friends and family, Reed Richards had scrawled upon the walls 100 of the biggest and boldest ideas his brain could produce. And, recently, he added a 101st, the most audacious ever: “Solve everything.” It would be a mantra that would lead the obsessively intellectual Mr. Fantastic to doing great works on behalf of humanity — and, in typically fantastic fashion, lead him into even greater trouble! For, as the big brain of the Fantastic Four will find out, solving everything carries with it a great cost, and one that is perhaps too much to pay. With art by Dale Eaglesham and covers by the legendary Alan Davis, Jonathan Hickman’s bristling take on the Fantastic Four leads Marvel’s First Family in an exciting new direction!
