Everyone give a Vulcan salute to the Mr. Spock figurine from Mezco, which is available now for pre-order. Also in this round-up: Contracted: Phase 2 Blu-ray details and a 360 interactive seance video to celebrate the VOD and Digital HD release of Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension.

Mezco's Spock Figure: From Mezco: "The One:12 Collective is proud to present one of the most iconic and enduring characters in the pop culture lexicon: Spock from the original Star Trek series.

First introduced to audiences in 1966, the Star Trek series was a landmark show that sparked countless fans’ a love of science, space and technology, and inspired many real-world inventions. Spock, powerfully portrayed by Leonard Nimoy in both the TV series and in the film franchises, embodied a new kind of TV hero: calmly logical, and cerebral but not completely devoid of human emotion. Spock has transcended his genre and has been voted one of the “50 Greatest TV Characters” and has recently had a mountain named after him on Pluto. Digitally modeled to craft an uncanny actor likeness and assembled on a One:12 Collective body with over 28 points of articulation, this figure features a series accurate outfit to create an amazing collectable.

The One:12 Collective Spock features:

- Real fabric uniform

- Incredible sculpted details capturing the likeness of this complex character

- Leather-look screen matched boots

Included with this figure:

- Alternate head with arched eyebrow

- One "Live long and prosper” hand

- One phaser holding hand

- One Vulcan mind-meld hand

- One Vulcan nerve pinch hand

- One set of posing hands

- One set of fists

- Phaser

- Communicator with flip up panel

- Tricorder with opening top section

- Display base and posing stand

Each figure is packaged in a deluxe, fifth panel window box featuring character specific artwork and a translucent acetate slipcover. Designed for collector convenience, the packaging has been specially engineered to allow for both maximum protection without sacrificing ease of removal for display.

Spock is available for pre-order now for shipment in April of 2016."

Contracted: Phase 2: Press Release: "Hang on to your barf bags, buckle up, and get ready for the genre ride of the year when Scream Factory, in conjunction with IFC Midnight, releases the horror thriller Contracted: Phase 2 on January 12th, 2016. Picking up immediately after the events of the first film, Contracted: Phase 2 follows Riley (Matt Mercer -Contracted), now infected and running out of time, as he attempts to find out more about the virus and its mysterious host. Starring Matt Mercer, Peter Cilella, Marianna Palka, Morgan Peter Brown, Laurel Vail, Alice Macdonald, Anna Lore and Suzanne Voss, Contracted: Phase 2 is a must-see for fans of the body horror genre.

As he digs deeper into its origins, Riley attracts the attention of a Detective (Marianna Palka - Good Dick) who doubts his innocence, and BJ (Morgan Peter Brown - Absentia) himself, who holds the key to the virus-and perhaps the destruction of mankind as we know it, leading to a blood-soaked finale you have to see to believe.

Paranormal Activity 360-Degree Seance Video: From IGN: "Contacting the dead is never a good idea - unless you record it using a 360-degree camera. Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension is available now on demand and digital HD."

"Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension centers on the Fleeges — father Ryan (Chris J. Murray), mother Emily (Brit Shaw) and their young daughter Leila (Ivy George) — who move into a house and discover a video camera and a box of tapes in the garage. When they look through the camera’s lens, they begin to see the paranormal activity happening around them – including the re-emergence of young Kristi and Katie."
