"Infernal Parade no longer part of the Tortured Souls series?"

Todd and Clive had a meeting Thursday to discuss the newest line of figures they are collaborating on - Clive Barker's Infernal Parade. The initial thought was that these figures would fit into the world of Tortured Souls, but as the line evolved and the story began to form in Todd's and Clive's heads, it became a whole new entity. A similar, but seperate creation. Think of the Infernal Parade as the Nightbreed to Tortured Souls' Hellraiser - same creators, but with a new twist.

"But does this mean there will be no more TS lines?"

I would say it's a safe bet that there will be more Tortured Souls in the future. Look at it this way, from now on there will be multiple creations from the minds of Todd and Clive to help fill your horror needs.

That's as much as I know right now and since Todd will be out of town next week I probably won't have any new info for awhile, but when I learn more I'll let you know.

Anyone know who holds the rights to the Clive's(Marvel) "Barkerverse" characters?

'Cause I'd love a set of Perdition's Posse figures.

Hell, I'd even dig a set of HyperKind figures!

Cool - even more lines from TMP that I won't be picking up! Makes it a little easier on teh pocket book!

Now, please note that I think the TS lines are very well done, just not what I tend to collect.

As unbelievable as it sounds, TS3 actually piqued my interest at Toy Fest.

I liked that the line was getting away from leather and S&M and more into sideshow/carnival freaks. Hell, it sounds like more of a monsters line than the Monsters line.

Right now I'm not 100% sure if I'll be picking them up... I'll have to see pics first-- y'know, when McFarlane thinks it's in their best interest to end the secrecy.

I saw a few sneak peeks at this line when I went to see steve a few weeks ago. It is true, it does not look like TS, but I am sure lots of peeps on here will dig it. I sure did...

Very human. not too much chopping off of the limbs/distortion of the human body. Very Barker.

Hey, I'll buy a whole set, okay?

White Line... (and others)

You realize, don't you, that the figures will be the same... the package just won't say "Tortured Souls III"... it will say "From the Minds of Clive Barker and Todd McFarlane"

I'm actually very excited to see a collaborative theme line like this. I'm not sure how many more random, various TS or cenobite figs we can get. Not that I wouldn't mind finding out. But putting together a unique style of figure with some sort of concept and storyline sounds like a great idea to me.

Knowing my luck, you're probably right.

The theme sounds really cool this time, though, and I'm crossing my fingers that the pics will sway me to spend the money I set aside for MM7 (suck-ass!) on TS3.
