Each year at San Diego Comic Con (SDCC), new toys and action figures for various franchises are teased. At this year's SDCC, two new Scooby-Doo figures were announced. The figures include Shaggy wearing a frightened look on his face with a bookcase diorama, and The Creeper. The six-inch scaled figures are made by Jada Toys. Thanks to Juan for sharing pictures of the figures! The Fwoosh's site features additional pictures of the Shaggy figure, and the Creeper was found in an X post.
Also at SDCC this year according to the SDCC unofficial blog, there is a collectible Scooby-Doo Pop Art Animation Cel selling for $24.99, featuring Shaggy, Scooby and the zombie from "Which Witch Is Which?"

A few episodes of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated and Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! had the wrong titles listed by TV providers. These include:
Sorry this is a couple of days late. I just got back from traveling to visit some relatives out of state this weekend, and my Internet connection was really spotty, so I couldn't post this on Friday. Courtesy of GamesRadar+, we have the comic solicitations for October 2024. I hadn't noticed this, but previously, Scooby-Doo comics were always released on the first Tuesday of each month. Starting with Batman and Scooby-Doo Mysteries #7 back on July 3, DC Comics has switched the release date to the first Wednesday of each month, for both Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries series and Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! SCOOBY-DOO WHERE ARE YOU! #130 (Image credit: DC) Written by SHOLLY FISCH Art and cover by VALERIO CHIOLA $2.99 US | 32 pages ON SALE 10/2/24 Scooby and the gang are old hands at pulling masks off phony monsters. But when a werewolf crashes the mayor’s fancy costume ball, blending in amongst several other partygoers, how can the gang tell which mask to pull off? They’d better figure out who’s who—and quickly—before the mayor’s party is ruined! BATMAN AND SCOOBY-DOO MYSTERIES #10 (Image credit: DC) Written by AMANDA DEIBERT Art and cover by ERICH OWEN $2.99 US | 32 pages ON SALE 10/2/24 When the Mystery Machine gets a flat tire, Batman would love to help, but he’s busy solving a rash of antique car part thefts and a series of heists from local tech labs. Maybe the nice mechanic who just opened a shop down the street can fix up Scooby and the gang instead? And maybe they can figure out what’s up with the ghost car plaguing the outskirts of the city while they’re at it! MULTIVERSUS: COLLISON DETECTION #2 (Image credit: DC) Written by BRYAN Q. MILLER Art by JON SOMMARIVA Cover by DAN MORA Variant cover by SERG ACUÑA 1:25 variant cover by JON SOMMARIVA $4.99 US | 32 pages | Variant $5.99 US (card stock) ON SALE 10/2/24 The Invasion Begins!

Metropolis’s newest city-wide battle has everything: Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, a child with a gem on his shiny round tum-tum, a sprite-sized Dark Knight, and…the Head. (It’s that thing where Brainiac’s code gets overwritten by an inebriated scientist who couldn’t be bothered to hang around for the entire issue!) MULTIVERSUS: COLLISION DETECTION #4

"Web of the Dreamweaver" is not included because even though Dungeons and Dragons has been adapted into a video game, it is presented as a role-playing tabletop game in this episode.
Here are the results for last week's poll: What is your favorite episode/film involving a stage magic show? Abracadabra Doo - 16 Riva Ras Regas - 10 Scared a Lot in Camelot - 8 Goblin King - 6 Tragic Magic - 5 The Sorcerer's a Menace - 3 Fright of Hand - 2 The Cursed Cabinet of Professor Madds Markson! - 2 A Good Medium Is Rare - 1 Backstage Scooby - 1 There were a couple of things people shared with me today that I thought were cool, but since they're just short little tidbits, I thought I might as well share them in one post rather than creating separate posts. Yesterday, the annual Home Run Derby was held in Arlington, TX. In the game, one of the players for the Baltimore Orioles, Gunnar Henderson, used a Scooby-Doo bat for the game. The bat used the Mystery Machine colors, orange, green and blue, and featured a picture of Scooby with the words "Ruh-Roh" on it. There's also a clip of him doing a Scooby impression that was posted online. Here is a picture from the game yesterday, and thank you to Greybishop for sharing this! Our second piece of news for the day is that Cartoon Network will be making an exciting schedule change next week according to CNSchedules on Twitter. After airing most of the episodes in an overnight slot for their TV debut, Cartoon Network will be adding Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! back to their schedule Mondays through Thursdays at 11:30am EST. Thanks to Jinkies for sharing this tweet!
In "Aliens Among Us" from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, the coordinates given for the grave in Gatorsburg are "34 11 15N, 118 20 46W." Typing the address into Google Earth shows that in real life, these coordinates geolocate to 3300 West Pacific Avenue in Burbank, California. This is the address of a Warner Brothers studio, which can be found on the studio's official website here.
Series producer and head writer Mitch Watson also clarified in an interview from the Unmasked History of Scooby-Doo podcast that the coordinates are Sam Register's office, and that it was an intentional Easter egg they hoped fans would uncover (Thanks to Ed for the link). I did not include "Hassle in the Castle" as while the villain is versed in stage magic, the setting of the episode was not an actual stage magic show.
The best deceased movie star episode/movie poll results were pretty close for the top 3, but "Silver Scream" takes the win for the week! What is your favorite episode/movie featuring a deceased movie star? Silver Scream - 16 Chiller Diller Movie Thriller - 15 Lights! Camera! Mayhem! - 14 LEGO Scooby-Doo: Haunted Hollywood - 9 Scooby's Peep-Hole Pandemonium - 4 Back in April, it was announced that a new Scooby-Doo live action series from Berlanti Productions would be coming to Netflix. Greg Berlanti, CEO of Berlanti Productions, was recently interviewed by Deadline about all of the projects Berlanti Productions is currently working on. In this interview, he shared some additional insight into the upcoming Scooby-Doo live-action series. The biggest news to come from the interview is that the series is that is still in early production. Berlanti mentions in the interview that he "just was working on the pitch for it this morning, for the first episode."
He also stated in another video interview with Deadline that the current plan is to start filming in 6-8 months. (Thanks to Jinkies for finding the clip) Here's the full excerpt from the Deadline interview: DEADLINE: What’s cooking with your live-action Scooby-Doo series? BERLANTI: One of my first jobs in this business was as a temp at Hanna-Barbera. I’d sit with Joe Barbera and Bill Hanna while they autographed animation cels. I would go in the morning and I would retrieve with my boss a bunch of these animation cels. I’d go to Bill Hanna’s office first. He was a very stoic guy. His office was very spare. And then came my favorite part of the day, going to see Joe Barbera. He was such a life force. He would sign the cels, but he would stop and regale me with the greatest stories. He was such a raconteur. DEADLINE: Give us a good one… BERLANTI: He would tell stories of how Scooby was created and what they were thinking, and how it was the late ’60s and kids felt under assault by adults, and they felt overwhelmed and they needed to be empowered. When they pitched it to Bill Paley he was like, you need a dog or something. And that was the birth of Scooby-Doo. Joe was such a special storyteller, and I was so, wow. I’d always loved them as a kid. And again, with any of the properties be they Hanna-Barbera or DC or anything at Warners, you feel lucky to be the historian who helps usher them into a new generation. You just go back to the spirit and the DNA of what makes ’em special. With Scooby-Doo, we went out and heard pitches for a year and a half and finally found one that we really felt really captured it. I just was working on the pitch for it this morning, for the first episode. So we’re really pumped. In "Grim Judgment" from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, Brad and Judy's show Sternum to Sternum is a parody of a real-life mystery show called Hart to Hart. The show ran from 1979-1984. Hart to Hart was created by Sidney Sheldon, who is most famous for creating I Dream of Jeannie - featuring the same Jeannie whom Scooby and the gang met in "Mystery in Persia" from The New Scooby-Doo Movies.
It was a close race for the best Scooby-Dum episode this week, but one episode just edged out the other! Here are the results for last week's poll:
What is your favorite Scooby-Dum episode from The Scooby-Doo Show? Vampire Bats and Scaredy Cats - 22 The Headless Horseman of Halloween - 21 The Gruesome Game of the Gator Ghoul - 15 Chiller Diller Movie Thriller - 4 |
