Devils Head Productions announces its latest HELL-O-WEEN 2026 lineup, set to launch on October 31.
It’s a pre-Halloween buzz for the collectible scene with Devils Head Productions announcing the release of their HELL-O-WEEN 2026 lineup on October 31st. Spankystokes reports that Toby Dutkiewicz, known for his @devilboy1973 persona, is bringing an eclectic mix of new releases and rare finds from their vaults. This collection will feature new iterations of the popular Jizo-Anarcho and pieces from artist AdamD, supplemented by some monsters thought to be long gone, but which are now emerging from the deadstock vault. All items will be available online via the Devils Head Productions webshop, suggesting a busy October 31 for collectors looking to add something spooky and rare to their shelves.
In another creative twist on collectibles, Basura and musician Big Data have collaborated to transform a data center into a plush toy, as covered by Spankystokes here. This plush, named Bezzy, adds a unique auditory experience; instead of a soothing lullaby, it emits the hum of a real data center when hugged. This playful take underscores the ongoing trend of infusing traditional toys with modern, quirky elements, drawing attention from both collectors seeking novelty and tech enthusiasts.
Meanwhile, for fans of nostalgia and vintage comics, there’s disappointment rather than new acquisitions. ToysREvil reports on early WIZARD magazine issues, which will not be on sale. Featuring sequential runs and foldout gatefold covers, these items remain part of a private collection. For enthusiasts, it’s a reminder of the sentimental value these classic issues hold and the challenges in acquiring them.
Amid these stories of releases and withheld treasures, the comic crossover genre also sees a mention with “Thunderhawks,” explored in a blog post on Btoys here. This Thundercats x Silverhawks mini-series concludes its arc, with a storyline revolving around time travel to avert a dystopian fate. The intricately tied narrative caps the crossover mini-series trend, reflecting both creative ambition and the appetite for cross-franchise narratives.
