Cryptozoic Files a Motion Objecting to Diamond’s Consignment Plan

Posted on by

Publishers have been filing objections to Diamond Comic Distributor‘s motion that would allow them to sell, liquidate, dispose of, inventory it currently still has. Many publishers have already been vocal about the motion and many have responded to our inquiries with “no comment” because it’s an ongoing legal matter. So far, TwoMorrows Publishing, Magma Comix, and Graphitti Designs, Abstract Studio, NBM, William M. Gaines, Agent, Inc., Humanoids, a joint filing by 13 publishers, GAMA, and the Ad Hoc Committee of Consignors have each filed objections to the motion. Cryptozoic Entertainment got an objection in yesterday as well but had issues with their filing.

While submitted before the deadline, like the William M. Gaines, Agent, Inc. objection, there was an issue with their filing. Cryptozoic had a lawyer file their objection and the attorney is not a member of the bar of the District Court so will need “Admission Pro Hac Vice.” It’s weird rules, but it’s rules that need to be followed.

On to Cryptozoic’s filing…

In their 29 page filing, Cryptozoic points out, like all of the other filings, that though the product was provided to Diamond on consignment, as per their agreement, the inventory remains the property of Cryptozoic. Pointing out a previous legal case, they state that the consigner, aka Cryptozoic, takes priority over the trustee in bankruptcy. And, the creditor, the bank that loaned Diamond money, should have known this when they extended credit for the bankruptcy.

Included in the filing is Cryptozoic’s agreement with Diamond as well as a list of inventory.

Universal Products & Experiences and Cryptozoic Entertainment have announced the upcoming release of CZX Jurassic Park, a super premium trading card set inspired by Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s original three Jurassic Park movies. The product will feature Autograph Cards signed by stars of the films as well as one-of-one, hand-drawn Sketch Cards by premiere artists.

In anticipation of the release, Cryptozoic will sell the CZX Jurassic Park: Preview Box at San Diego Comic-Con, July 24-27.

Only 500 boxes have been produced and will be allocated daily at Booth #115.

The nine exclusive Base Cards for the CZX Jurassic Park: Preview Box showcase memorable moments from the three Jurassic Park movies. Each card has both red Deco Foil versions numbered out of 499 and a rare black Deco Foil variant with Brilliance logo numbered out of just 1 (there is only one of each Base Card in each box).

The Autograph Cards signed by Wayne Knight, who plays Dennis Nedry in the first movie, will appear in approximately one in five boxes. The cards will have three levels of rarity: black ink signature with gold numbering out of 99, green ink signature with green numbering out of 5, and red ink signature with black numbering out of 1.

The four Production Concept Cards with concept images from the second movie will be found in approximately four in five boxes (each individual card will be in one in five boxes). There are two levels of rarity of each card: red Deco Foil versions numbered out of 99 and a rare black Deco Foil variant with Brilliance logo numbered out of only 1.

The CZX Jurassic Park: Preview Box will be available at San Diego Comic-Con for $99.99 per box. Further news about the main set, including signers, will be announced later this year.

Posted on by

Peanuts Worldwide and Cryptozoic Entertainment have announced the release of Peanuts Playpaks: 75 Years and Peanuts: The Doctor Is in card game, as well as two exclusive Peanuts Playpaks packs and an exclusive Promo Card, at San Diego Comic-Con, July 24-27.

To celebrate the launch of the game, Cryptozoic will have a life-size The Doctor Is in booth to provide a memorable photo opportunity for SDCC attendees. In addition, the first 300 copies of the game sold at Booth #115 will be packed inside an exclusive 75th anniversary box sleeve.

The first Peanuts Playpaks set features trading cards that focus on playful activities and commemorate 75 years of the beloved characters created by Charles M. Schulz. The two exclusive Convention Packs at SDCC each include six cards. Fans who purchase both get nine Foil/Activity Cards, one Sticker Card, one Standee Card, and one Temporary Tattoo Card.

All purchases of Peanuts products at Cryptozoic’s booth will include Promo Card P4, while supplies last.

Peanuts Playpaks: 75 Years celebrates the milestone year for the characters. Each 5-card pack includes Base/Color It, Foil/Activity, Sticker/Puzzle, and Standee, Scratch ’n’ Sniff/How to Draw, or Temporary Tattoo Cards. The iconic and memorable images on the cards are designed to appeal to Peanuts fans of all ages.

Peanuts: The Doctor Is in is a card game that takes inspiration from the comic strips in which Lucy Van Pelt offers less-than-useful advice from her psychiatric booth. In each turn of the game, one player takes the Charlie Brown standee and plays a Problem Card asking for advice. The other players take on the role of Lucy, responding with Advice Cards featuring memorable comic strip panels that offer entertaining solutions to the problems. The Charlie Brown player selects the Advice Card that they feel best responds to their problem.

Cryptozoic and Decipher Relaunch How to Host a Murder Game Series

How To Host A Murder

Cryptozoic Entertainment and Decipher have announced a partnership to relaunch the long-running How To Host A Murder party game brand.

With over 20 releases and more than 50 million players since 1985, How To Host A Murder is the most famous running series of boxed murder mystery games ever published. Originally published by Decipher, the releases by Cryptozoic will update the brand’s aesthetics, but the core gameplay will remain the same: Players gather for a light role-playing experience where they take on the roles of suspects, all attempting to expose which one of them is the murderer. The setting is humorous, with up to eight players dressing in costumes and acting out their parts in exaggerated ways. Each self-contained episode’s box contains a host guide, player manuals, a sheet of secret clues, guest invitations, name tags, diagrams, and more.

The initial relaunch will feature four classic episodes, each sold separately: The Watersdown Affair, Class of ’54, The Chicago Caper, and Saturday Night Cleaver. Licensed versions based on several major IPs are in development, with announcements to be made in the coming months.

Cryptozoic will relaunch Host To Host A Murder later in 2025, with major retail partnerships already in the works.
