Figurines:
The sculptors and manufacturers are now hard at work on the first of the figurines in our new product ranges and although hard pressed for a launch now at the Bristol International Comic Expo, everyone involved is, pushing to have them completed ready for sale in time for the Expo.
"Worlds End" Ashcan:
Tim is presently working on the Ash-can version of the "Worlds End" graphic novel. Inside as well as the preview pages to the book will be a sketchbook section showing many of the initial character designs, some background information on the characters, a look at what's to come, exclusive ash can cover artwork, some other surprises, which we can't divulge at this time…or they cease to be surprises, and a money off token which can be redeemed when buying the graphic novel, directly from the Wizards Keep website, when the book comes out.
They can also be used for pre-ordering the book direct from the website. Instructions on how to do this will be on the voucher.
We are launching the above products and also some other stuff as well, which we will report more on nearer the time.
