&lt;b&gt;An uncommonly gentle man who was fated to be alone...&lt;/b&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;
Edward Scissorhands is one of my all time favorite movies, one which I think was highly unappreciated and was one of Johnny Depp&#39;s first movies.
&lt;p&gt;
This well-known fantasy film tells the story of a gentle man who has dangerous shears and scissors for hands, and falls in love with a beautiful teenage girl. 
&lt;p&gt;
Since most of the Hot Toys team members love this story and like Edward so much, they decided to re-live Edward with his iconic scissorhands this year! 
&lt;p&gt;
This 12-inch Edward collectible figure features a real like head with face scars sculpture, highly detailed fabric made costume, articulated scissor fingers as well as a paper cut craft. 
&lt;p&gt;
Today it&#39;s your chance to hold onto the memories forever with this amazing collectible!
&lt;p&gt;
An amazing and life-like figure that is a must if you are a fan of this movie.

    <title>Nov 3, McFarlane News</title>
    <link>http://www.mcfarlanes-figures.com/mcfarlane-blog.html#McFarlane-News</link>
    <description>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;McFarlane Toys&quot;&gt;McFarlane Toys News&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The biggest announcement from McFarlane Toys this month is that they are going to re-introduce Classic Chase figure back into their Sports Picks line.
&lt;p&gt;
Recently McFarlane made the move to introduce chase figures with only &quot;minor&quot; changes to them. Such as a clean or dirt look, wrist bands or no wrists bands.
&lt;p&gt;
However this move has been poorly accepted by collectors who feel that this move has led to the &quot;de-valuing&quot; of the chase figures.
&lt;p&gt;
As a result McFarlane has decided that starting with their MLB 2009 Wave 1 release in March 2009.
&lt;p&gt;
The new look chase figures will go back to the previous format of offering figures with alternate jerseys and retro looks etc.
&lt;p&gt;
This is sure to please fans and it&#39;s nice to see McFarlane has taken notice of the fans and collectors comments.
&lt;p&gt;
But that&#39;s not all...
&lt;p&gt;
McFarlane has also announced that there will be a &quot;Gold Ticket&quot; figure to be released in the Cooperstown 6 series.
&lt;p&gt;
Feature Babe Ruth in a Yankees 1920&#39;s uniform with a DARK BLUE cap and WHITE NY logo, as opposed to a white cap.
&lt;p&gt;
ONLY 5 (Yes FIVE!) of these figures will be produced, and two of these are to go into McFarlane&#39;s archives.
&lt;p&gt;
So that leaves only 3 (THREE) of these that are to be randomly inserted into case.
&lt;p&gt;
Each of these figures will be packaged in a box sealed with McFarlane&#39;s blue logo security tape.
&lt;p&gt;
This will be THE RAREST McFarlane figure EVER produced.
&lt;p&gt;
Previously (or currently) the rarest figure was/is the Teemu Selanne figure from the NHL Series 6 line, which to celebrate his record setting rookie year had THIRTEEN of his figures featuring his number 13 jersey he wore during his rookie season and NOT the number 8 jersey featured on the others.
&lt;p&gt;
The last one of these that was seen sold online fetched a staggering $8,500 dollars!
&lt;p&gt;
So, in the infamous words of Clint Eastwood&quot;
&lt;p&gt;
&quot;Is today your lucky day, punk?&quot;.</description>

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;A Major Celebrity, in Doll Form&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
OK, this REALLY isn&#39;t usually my scene but...
&lt;p&gt;
For the second issue I find myself featuring a Barbie Doll in this newsletter.
&lt;p&gt;
A sign of the times, maybe??
&lt;p&gt;
Oh well, it is Christmas ;-).
&lt;p&gt;
There have been dozens of Marilyn collectibles over the years, but none like the Marilyn Monroe Blonde Ambition Barbie Doll. 
&lt;p&gt;
Mattel&#39;s signature collectible-doll styling has been applied to one of the 20th century&#39;s most famous faces, and she shows off the rest of her person in a stunning gold gown. 
&lt;p&gt;
Part of a new series of dolls, she&#39;s sure to be a hit. 
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.entertainmentearth.com/aff-home.asp?id=MC-801276839&amp;number=MTN4987&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Mariln Monroe Barbie Doll&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Celebrate Saw V&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
With Halloween just finished and the new Saw movie in the theatres why not celebrate with one of these Saw Action Figures.
&lt;p&gt;
Contrary to the way he deals with his victims, the intrinsically evil and insensitive puppet from the Saw trilogy gets the royal treatment in this 12-inch tall, fully articulated version of Billy and his little red tricycle. The seemingly innocent but actually deadly Billy is packaged in a displayable window box and features a push-button sound chip that triggers genuine dialogue and noises from the film. Take a ride on the wild side with Billy boy!
&lt;p&gt;
Sound phrases include:
&lt;p&gt;
&quot;So are you going to watch yourself die today? Or do something about it?&quot;
&lt;p&gt;
&quot;There are ways to win this.&quot;
&lt;p&gt;
&quot;Let the game begin.&quot;
&lt;p&gt;
&quot;Live or die, make your choice.&quot;
&lt;p&gt;
&quot;Congratulations, you are still alive.&quot;
&lt;p&gt;
Laughing.
