August 29, 2005 - (Houston, TX) - (Sponsor Announcement) - Online retailer littleplasticmen.com announces a summer clearance, new pre-orders and new arrivals!

HOUSTON, TX - littleplasticmen.com... where action figures are what's in store! has kicked off its Summer Clearance Sale to make room for a ton of new items scheduled to arrive over the coming weeks. See the website for great deals on Buffy/Angel figures from Diamond Select, Street Fighter and Now Playing from SOTA, DC Direct, HALO 2, Hellboy, Ghostbusters and more! Don't delay - once these figures are gone... they're GONE!

We have also updated our pre-order page with new items from Mezco, McFarlane and NECA - including the highly anticipated Lord of the Rings Epic scale Balrog. This 22" tall monster has a wingspan of more than three feet and is slated to ship around year-end. Pre-order now from littleplasticmen.com and you'll get a Toy Biz 6" Balrog Battle Gandalf FREE! The Gandalf figure - which comes with an electronic voice chip base that shouts the familiar line 'You shall not pass!' - is the perfect companion piece to the giant Moria menace! Pricing details on the Balrog have yet to be finalized, so the current pre-order price may be adjusted as NECA provides additional information. Everyone pre-ordering the beast with us will be placed on a special Balrog Update mailing list and will receive updates as we get them.

Our August contest is almost over, but we have a September giveaway all lined up... more on that later, but speaking of giveaways - we have a new freebie offer for customers spending $25 or more. While supplies last, orders received totaling $25 or more will get a free Star Wars Galactic Heroes backpack dangler thrown in! See the website for more details!

We have had a number of new arrivals over the past week including Joyride Studios' HALO 2 Series 4 figures. This series includes a Red Spartan, Master Chief v3, Banshee, ODST and Elite Ranger.

We also received the Code 3 Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Style A Legendary Cast 3D poster replica. This cold-cast 8 x 10 bas relief sculpture captures the simple elegance of the Style A poster, which feature hands clasped around the hilt of an ignited lightsaber.
