For the past couple of years, I've been working closely with Andrew Bell to produce a Diablo action figure. After a number of false starts and delays (none of them due to Andy, the first factory we were dealing with was run by a bunch of numbskulls), we finally have finished prototypes of Diablo and his accessories. We're ready to begin production on these puppies*, so I'm making them available for pre-order now that I know we're actually going to be able to offer them to you.
Pre-ordered Diablo is available in two flavors, a regular chicken-flavored variety and the special "personalized" variant. The personalized figure comes with some bonus stickers and is signed by Yours Truly, and the first 250 people to order one of these will get an extra Super-Bonus Glow-In-The-Dark Ecto-Skull in addition to all the other groovy accessories Diablo normally comes with. This skull can replace Diablo's normal head; I cannot stress enough how radical this is.
If you're not big on glowing skulls and signatures, we're also offering a non-personalized edition. All pre-orders regardless of personalization will come with a copy of A Tale of Two Comics, starring Diablo, Fish, Jon and the Megagamerz.
Here are just a few of Diablo's many features:
- Diablo has four points of articulation, at the waist, wings and neck.
- Diablo's head is removable, just like in real life.
- Diablo comes with accessories:
- one (1) Human Skull
- one (1) Satanic Whoopee Cushion
- one (1) Necronomicon, 2nd. Ed.
- three (3) pc. Oversized Novelty Bacon
- Diablo's head can be replaced with his Human Skull for awesome skull-chicken action.
- Diablo is approx. 3" tall, and will be to scale with future Goats action figures.
- Diablo comes in a neato collector's box (remember to buy two so you can play with one).
- Diablo will bring you everlasting joy and peace of mind.
It will be a couple of months before these ship (production takes a few weeks, and overseas shipping and customs can take about a month alone), but by pre-ordering now you'll be sure to receive yours first, and supplies are limited (we're only making 2,000 Diablos for this first run).
I'm very excited about these; I've wanted to create Goats action figures for almost a decade and I'm glad we're finally able to offer them to you. If this one does well we'll certainly be making others, so if you'd like to someday own a full set of Goats action figures, go pre-order a Diablo action figure!
