"Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure" Is Now Available In Stores


Disney Interactive today announced the launch of “Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure,” for the Wii™ system from Nintendo, Nintendo 3DS™ handheld system and Windows PC/Mac. “Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure,” is an all-new interactive journey from the massively successful Disney Princess franchise that immerses players into the enchanted worlds of Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, Rapunzel and Tiana, and gives them the power to save their favorite Princesses by wielding a magic wand.

“We’re excited to announce the launch of ‘Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure’ as the newest addition to the Disney Interactive video game family,” said Javier Ferreira, senior vice president of publishing, Disney Interactive. “Fans have told us time and time again that the iconic Disney Princesses are some of their most beloved characters. With the launch of this title, through captivating gameplay, we’ll bring Disney fans the sense of wonder surrounding the Disney Princesses.”

In “Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure,” players will take on the role of an apprentice to the Fairy Godmother and will accidentally set off a series of events that cause friendly Sprites to transform into mischievous Imps. The chaotic Imps make their way into the worlds of Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, Rapunzel and Tiana, and players must pursue the Imps into each Princess kingdom to prevent them from causing any harm. With the use of their magic wand, they’ll need to turn the Imps back into their original Sprite form, and return them to their rightful home in the Magical Kingdom.

Each of the Princess worlds will allow players to explore and interact with familiar Disney characters such as Lumiere, Pascal, Flounder, Gus and other fan favorites who will help guide them through missions and progress though the game. Quests and mini-games, including platforming, hide and seek, and puzzles, are designed to test the skills of the youngest players and challenge older players.

Players can also customize their avatar and room in the Fairy Godmother’s Castle, utilizing gems that are earned throughout the game to trade for items in the in-game “Wishing Well” store. Outfits, accessories and tiaras can be purchased to dress up avatars, creating hundreds of different combinations. Special items like floor patterns, wallpaper and furniture can be used to personalize and build out each player’s room in the Castle.

Rated ‘E’ for Everyone by the ESRB, “Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure is now available for the Wii™ console and Nintendo 3DS™ for a suggested retail price of $39.99 and for the Windows PC/Mac for a suggested retail price of $29.99.

Marvel Celebrates 10 Years of 'Marvel Select' With Awesome Contest


From Marvel.com

Ten years ago, the first Marvel Select figure from Diamond Select Toys arrived in comic shops. Depicting Ultimate Spider-Man, the 7-inch scale figure came with a large diorama base (a criminal webbed to a wall), and it was packaged in an oversized blister card that displayed the figure and all of its accessories. Since then, DST has made nearly 100 different Marvel Select figures, and to celebrate the line's 10th anniversary, they want you to be able to win one of every figure they have in their office!

A whopping 21 different Select figures from across the line's ten-year run--including a War Machine movie figure signed by actor Don Cheadle himself--have been packed into boxes, awaiting shipment to one lucky winner, and that's not even all! The winner will also get an unpainted Green Goblin prototype (with glider), a rare out-of-package Unmasked Deadpool variant figure and the brand-new Ultron Select figure, before it's even available in stores!

All you have to do is wish Marvel Select a Happy Anniversary and post one of the Marvel Select 10th Anniversary images on your Facebook, Google Plus, YouTube, Pinterest or Twitter page! Then send a direct link to your post to collectdst@gmail.com! The winner will be chosen at random on August 17. Once they confirm the posting, they'll notify the winner! Enter as often as you like, but the winner must have a U.S. address to claim the prize. For more information, visit here.

Pre-order: Doctor Who Dynamix Tenth Doctor Vinyl Statue


Up for pre-order right now at Entertainment Earth is the Dynamix Tenth Doctor vinyl statue from Big Chief Studios. The description from Big Chief's website:

Taking inspiration from the Doctor Who IDW comic series, Dynamix Ultra-Stylised Vinyl Figurines offer unique interpretations of your favourite characters from the world’s longest-running sci-fi TV show.

From his spikey hair, to his trademark flowing trench coat and pinstriped suit, the Tenth Doctor strikes a confident pose ready for his next time-travelling adventure.

Produced in a Worldwide Collectors Limited Edition of 3000, each figurine comes with a Doctor Who logo base and is packed in a window display box.
