This C.H.U.D.'s For You

Today, I received the biggest item in my Puppet Master collection and probably the best gift I've ever gotten in my life. Rick Phares, former head of Full Moon Toys and currently heading Full Moon's upcoming collectible line, just sent me the original prototype Blade action figure. This was the exact figure featured in toy magazines, print ads, and the two Puppet Master toy commercials. It is amazing to compare this to the final released figure and note the differences, like the different hair or the hat, and the velcro-front coat. On an even more personal note, Blade was the most sought after toy of my entire childhood. I am absolutely speechless.

I think Blumhouse really shot themselves in the foot taking so long to gear up an actual Five Nights at Freddy's movie while these films were coming out to fill that void in the meantime.

Now that I'm finally able to say I wrote the Toulon Journals for Puppet Master: The Game, here's a little glimpse into the attention to detail I put into it. (Without giving anything away) It's no secret that the Puppet Master series plays it fast and loose and outright contradictory with dates, but also, a lot of things happen fairly close together and timing is tricky. In Puppet Master 4, however, Rick reads an entry from the journal that is set right at the end of Puppet Master III and has a date on it. I used that single date to determine the timing of everything else before and after it.
