30009: Running of the Bulls
     While Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients chugs towards completion, the promotional Project U-Build Play Set Adventures has received a tweak. Because they are falling behind schedule, the remaining three wave 1 sets, Ruins of the Scorpion Village, Attack on the Nile, and The Battle for Xi'an, will be released at the same time as the wave 2 sets for Johnny Thunder and the Wisdom of the Ancients. In addition to this, the fall wave has been scaled back to only include the two sets based on Attack of the Fifty-Foot Hamster. Now the order of sets will be as follows:
  • 30008: Fish Guardian Attack
  • 30009: Running of the Bulls
  • 30010: Black Church
  • 30011: The Jungle Chase
  • 30012: Escape from the Train
  • 30013: The Chamber of the Hidden Mysteries
  • 30014: Billy's Attic Lab
  • 30015: Attack on Downtown
  • 40000: Collectible Characters Series 1
However, if you just want to start building, the set instructions can be accessed here.
     In other news, the series 1 characters have been finalized and will be released this fall for the tenth anniversary. The sixteen characters, in no particular order, will be:
  • Central Island Librarian (Com 50-3: Raid on Central Island)
  • Peter Whitman (Late for the Soccer Match)
  • Seth Masterson (Seth Masterson vs. Shark Hoops)
  • Wendy Simmons (A Very Patrick Christmas)
  • Vladnichuk (Johnny Thunder and the Gift of the Nile)
  • Snaggle (Jolly Roger and the Pirate Queen)
  • Vita Curtis (Kilroy Was Here!)
  • Shaman of the Mountains (Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo)
  • Baron Von Stuka (Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Leopard's Treasure)
  • Ramses III (Johnny Thunder and the Gift of the Nile)
  • Billy the Kid (Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo)
  • Farmer John (Freddy and Joey in Corn Farm)
  • Willie Swipe (Night Guard)
  • Evil Henchman (Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Leopard's Treasure)
  • The Old Pirate (Jolly Roger and the Pirate Queen)
  • Stew LaRoache (Mystery at Shady Acres)
The other series are currently in development, with series 2 being based on LEGO Island: The Animated Series.
     Finally, all of the sets that are based on previous films that were in development have been indefinitely put on hold. This move has been made to further focus on promoting each upcoming film, along with developing the Dino Attack RPG sets. There is also talk about revising the delivery system for these instructions, which may ultimately result in the library page's return to the website.

The Year in Review: 2023

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; December 31, 2023)      As another year comes to a close, we're taking a look back over what happened this year. We were pretty quiet in the build-up to Twenty Years Young , but we did still have a substantial amount of content this past year. January     To kick off the new year,  Hunted: A (Not) Bigfoot Story  was released on January 8. This tale of a hillbilly with overgrown hair and the campers who think that he's bigfoot was created for THAC 2023. While the film did not win any prizes, it did become just one of many entries in the record-breaking competition that will have you stomping with laughter. We also began an audit of the studio archives as part of a final push to finish content for Twenty Years Young , as well as geared up to plow through the projects planned for this year. February     One of those projects,  Howling Hollow: The Forest of Fear , officially debuted on February 1! This special project r

Original Classics as They Were are Returning with "Original Cuts," Coming April 18, 2024!

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; March 31, 2024)     Even in the midst of this celebration, we've just revealed some new ways to celebrate the day-of twentieth anniversary of Mustache Maniacs Film Co.! In addition to some new music albums and the release of artwork from our canceled projects, we're also introducing a new project titled Original Cuts ! What is the Special Project  Original Cuts ?      Long story short, Original Cuts  is a special project that aims to preserve classic Mustache Maniacs Film Co. movies as they were originally released. We realized during the backup of the physical archive last year that these DVDs are progressively getting worse for wear, and with 2015's DVD Archival Project only backing up the special editions of all of these films, these original versions were at risk of being lost forever. Something had to be done, which is where Original Cuts  comes into play.     As mentioned, outside of updating the branding
