The Umbrella Academy Toys

Available on April 15, 2009

Packaging

This set of six Umbrella Academy figures evokes the characters exactly as they appear in the comic. The likeness is uncanny, with bold shadowing and strange angles, right down to the fur on Space Boy’s oversized arms. We think you will be charmed by this set and love not only the figures, but the unique packaging they are placed in: An umbrella-topped dome looms over the siblings, in all their monochromatic glory.

Wow! This is so awesome. We have been waiting a long time for these! Well now after many rumors and many teasers, we have real images of what these great Umbrella Academy toys will look like. Also, I think that the package is very creative. I don’t really think it was necessary at all to package these great toys in this umbrella-dome but its different.

This 6-figure set wont be available for another five months but this gives us time to save up for it. The action figures are from 2″ to 5″ inches (pretty small). It looks like the price will be something like $39.99. Which means that if you about 26 cents a day, you’ll be able to own one of these great toy sets. Be sure to check back soon for pre-ordering information click here order. You’ll want to order this toy set, it will probably sell out fast!

An exciting and teasing flash animation of the first few pages of The Umbrella Academy, Series Two, Dallas #1. With fun orchestra music, perhaps by the evil evil EVIL The Conductor of The Orchestra Verdammten, it really brings the comic to life. We’re all very excited for 11.26.2008..

WIN WIN WIN

Sort of… Not really… TFAW is giving away twenty (20) FREE subscriptions to The Umbrella Academy: Dallas!

Twenty lucky Dallas subscibers will win FREE subscriptions and three (3) even luckier fans will also win a copy of the Umbrella Academy #1 Variant hand-signed by Gerard Way.

As fans of the comic book already know, Series 2 will be out next month. Can you believe it’s almost here?!?

Subscribe today because the contest ends in 11 days! (Last day is 10/31/2008).

If you’re asking yourself, “WTF is a subscription?” Then let’s clear that up. A comic book subscription is much like a newspaper or magazine subscription. Sometimes you may find a magazine you like so much that you’re tired of always going to the store and picking it up everything. So, you subscribe to the magazine and it gets delivered right to your door every month. TFAW’s The Umbrella Academy: Dallas subscription is the same. Instead of keeping track of the release dates of every issue of Series 2, you can have each issue be delivered to you as it becomes released. You can find out more about this subscription business in greater detail here.

But wait! There’s more! - sounds like an infomercial, I know - If you’re really excited about winning signed comic books then you’ll be happy to know that TFAW is also giving these away to three lucky fans as each issue of Dallas hits the shelves. You can always get your copies of Dallas here and if you pre-order now you’re saving a generous 20%.
