MST3K and King Kong? Might have to pick that up.
Is the Gamera shot just their for laughs or do they have some actual Gamera coverage in there? I'm a big Gamera fan.

King Kong Lives (1986) would be perfect for the new series though.

Those are pretty badass. I might have to snag both.

Both t-shirts show as "Sold Out" currently. I did snag a Servo shirt before then though.

This season's issue of HorrorHound will feature a retrospective on the series, interviews with Joel and Jonah, and a pull-out poster. Apparently it also will have variant covers feature three different covers on top of each other (Jonah/Kong will be the front cover). It will also feature Kong stuff (they're not riffing a Kong movie), all the more reason to pick up a copy. HorrorHound is a fantastic magazine that I've been subscribing to for a little over a year now. Even if you are not a huge horror fan, but love movie history, it is a great read. Each issue has an in depth retrospective of a series with merchandise photos littered throughout. They also have some pretty good interviews and features looking at stuff like classic trading cards and VHS tapes. Their 2015 Spring Special featured Joel and the bots on the cover, and had a look at the Rhino/Shout releases as well as other merch. It's only $5 on their site and well worth picking up: www.horrorhound.com/Store/Details/179Their 54th issue did a great This Island Earth retrospective: www.horrorhound.com/Store/Details/178

^Horrorhound is one of my favorite magazines around. Though it probably appeals most to me because I'm a collector and love their retrospectives featuring tons of collectibles, but their recent issues have been following some cool trends. They're also one of the cheaper fanzines around.
I think this issue is going to cover The Hills Have Eyes merchandise, unless they changed it since the solicitation (which made no mention of MST3K). But they already did a Kong merchandise retrospective a couple of years ago. Their 2015 Spring Annual only covered the top 10 or something MST3K collectibles.

Just got the issue! Can confirm the cover is Jonah and inside is Joel and then Mike covers. Also, the article is a 6 page retrospective, a 2.5 page interview with Jonah, and preceeding the article is this poster: Def pick this up if you are a collector, Barnes and Noble carries it.

Nice! I'm really digging the Sgt. Pepper cover art vibe from that poster.

That poster is beautiful, I might have to pick up a second copy just so I can tear it out and hang it on the wall. What's on the reverse side?

Articles are on the back of the poster, so it's probably best to buy two issues. And hey, with the second issue you could remove the three covers and create triptych!

Would seriously consider purchasing that as a separate poster.

Would seriously consider purchasing that as a separate poster. The poster was created by Joel Robinson. Yes, it's not a joke, there is an actual artist named Joel Robinson that made it. I almost didn't believe it and thought that it was a gag. He doesn't have the poster for sale, but should it ever go on sale he would have it on his site: www.artpusher.net/

Update on the trading cards;
"MST3K Trading Cards are still in the works of course. In fact, with the help of fellow Three Stooges card fan Mr. Cohen, we've secured not one but TWO original series MST3K film-used PROPS -- so if all goes well our MST3K Trading Cards will have special 'chase cards' featuring actual film-used props! Very excited about this! I'd originally announced a MARCH 2017 release for the MST3K Series One cards ... but the licensing process is just a teensy bit slower than I'm used to and so MST3K trading cards have been temporarily shifted to 'summer' and the 'summer' set I'd planned, The Three Stooges Theater (our SEVENTH Three Stooges card series) has been moved up to March/April. But no worries -- MST3K Trading Cards is still very much on the boards and am looking forward to publishing it. If you want to check out some looney horror humor cards in the meantime please visit my website. The Dungeon of Doctor Dreck series 1 and 2 feature mini subsets The House on Haunted Hill (as seen on Rifftrax) and Attack of the Giant Leeches (as seen on MST3K) ... Monster Choke n Gag cards are a 1960s throwback with BW monster and horror images and goofy riffs ... and for the more serious fans of spooky you'll find Chronicles of The Grim Reaper featuring classic Rowlandson artwork of The Reaper along with a brief history of everyone's favorite bone head. These and other trading card sets are listed on my website at RRParksCARDS.com"
