Toy2R has exclusively made this figure for Artix Entertainment and Voltaire and they are the only two entities that will carry this toy (unless either decides to sell a few to a store here or there). Only 500 of them are available world wide. This figure is a collaboration between Voltaire and Artix and like in the past, it includes a code to unlock a digital pet in the game AdventureQuest Worlds... in this particular case, 2 exclusive AQWorlds pets: the Necrosian Walker and the Necrosian Skullbat. There are two versions of each pet (normal pet, and also a member-only Battle Pet version which is Necromancer compatible) both in the popular online role playing game AdventureQuest Worlds.

If you want to get your tentacles on this highly exclusive figure from the "Deady and Fiends" Mini-Qee series, you can get one at Voltaire's booth at Dragoncon in Atlanta ( Sept.2nd -5th) in the lobby of the Marriott or on-line from Artix Entertainment  here: http://www.heromart.com/

In the next week or so, a new Deady toy is going to hit the streets! The Deady "Big in Japan" Mini-Qee is coming and it includes a very special treat. Like it's predecessor, the AdventurQuest Deady 8" Qee by Toy2R, this figure will also come with a code to unlock a digital Deady pet in the online game, AdventureQuest Worlds! To be specific, the code, unlocks a "samurai Deady" pet complete with Japanese bandana and katana.  

The Deady: Big in Japan 5" mini-Qee comes in three versions. One with a grimacing mouth ("Karate Kiai" version), one with a smirk and one sticking out his tongue.  A combined total of 1,000 of these toys were made and will never be made again, making it another must-have, limited edition Deady vinyl toy!

Once they're out, you can find these toys here: Toy2R USA's Website

TONIGHT on AdventureQuest Worlds ( www.aq.com ) at 7pm EST, Voltaire and Deady make their usual Friday the 13th appearance in what is sure to be the greatest live adventure yet!  It's Steampunk cowboys vs. Aliens from Deady's homeworld of Necronus fighting to the death over the Vorutanian Key Blade (you might have seen a much smaller version of this key-shaped weapon hanging from Voltaire's neck in the form of a pendant).  Well, now you'll finally come to know what this mighty weapon is actually for! And before the end, Deady might even reveal his true form for the first time in the game!

And... if that weren't enough, for the first time ever, DEADY SPEAKS!  That's right, after years of silence and word bubbles, Deady will speak in-game. Voltaire and Artix are just bloody thrilled to announce that voicing Deady will be Michael Sinterniklaas (best known to many as the voice of Dean Venture of Cartoon Network's Venture Brothers and the voice of Leonardo on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! 

History will be made tonight as YOU the player fights Steampunk cowboys and Necrid skeletons while Voltaire sings songs from his country album and Deady.... well, tries to take over the world, probably.  That's how he rolls.  It all begins tonight at 7pm EST atwww.aq.com

...and there will likely be a live Q and A beforehand with Voltaire so tune in early.  See you there!

Battle on!

DEADY FINDS A VOICE!

Deady, that evil teddy bear creation of Voltaire's, first appeared in his first graphic novel in 2004. Since then he has appeared in various books and games and has been made into a dozen or so toys, but only now will we get to hear what he sounds like! 

Voltaire and Artix Entertainment are extremely happy to announce that Deady has found a voice! Playing Deady in the upcoming AdventureQuest Worlds Friday the 13th event is voice actor, Michael Sinterniklaas, best known to some as the voice of Dean Venture from Adult Swim’s The Venture Brothers as well as the voice of Leonardo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV series.  You can see Michael's long list of roles on his IMDB page HERE.  The hallowed event takes place on Friday, May the 13th at www.aq.com. 

This will be the fourth time, Voltaire and Deady (in animated form of course) lead players on a live quest in the popular on-line role playing game. As usual, during the adventure, Voltaire will play some of his songs while Deady causes trouble and maybe saves the day.  

*******************

The second was a "Lunartik" for a show in Berlin.  The Lunartik custom toy is the smallest Deady custom toy to date measuring around 2 inches!

You can see both of those custom toys here: http://www.deadybear.net/photos-group-9.html

Speaking of Toy2R, coming in May the Skelanimals Artist Series continues with the second installment.  Voltaire has two figures in the series this time, a dog and a cat.  Voltaire still insists that Deady designed them. When asked, Deady just shook his head and burped.  Something fell out of his mouth that looked like a furry sack of bones.  We were too scared (or was it 'grossed out'?) to investigate any further.

In news that is both awesome and sad at the same time, the 8" vinyl Deady figure by Toy2R that was made in collaboration with the popular on-line roleplaying game AdventureQuest Worlds is now officially sold out.  That means no more can be found anywhere and no more will ever be made.  While we are thrilled by its success we are also a little sad here in Deadyland to think they will never be seen again..
