Status Report

Amazon has released a higher-res version of the Animorphs #3 cover that we revealed a little while back. (Click picture below to enlarge).

For pre-order and plot details for the rest of the Animorphs relaunch books, go here: http://www.hiracdelest.com/blog/?page_id=1021

In addition to this, I have now also gone through all of the blog posts to organize them a bit better, and created two new categories: Animorphs Relaunch and Movie/TV News (see right). Hopefully this will be useful to fans who want to get all the straight facts right away, rather than having to go through our 100+ blog posts to find them.

That’s all for now. Until next time!

A big thanks to Paula, who shared a picture of her son holding up an ARC (Advanced Reader’s Copy) of the Lenticular Edition of Animorphs #1!

These ARCs were released as part of the American Library Association Midwinter Meeting in San Diego (January 7-11, 2011) that Michael Grant and K.A. Applegate both attended.

As you can see from the picture above, these ARCs are ‘uncorrected proofs’ and are only available through promotional/publishing connections. They also seem to have been printed and released before Scholastic changed the covers, because this one uses the old Jake that we saw in the earlier version.

The actual book for Animorphs #1 is set to be released May 1st, 2011 (Click here for full info and pre-order links). For full coverage regarding the ALA event, check out www.ala.org

“If we squirm, the Yeerks will win.”

Coincidentally, I think Hugo Weaving would be a great voice for Elfangor (or Visser Three). Unfortunately, this picture is from another franchise, but we can still <hope>, can’t we? The new year is filled with possibilities, and I’m excited to share it with the rest of you!

I have no official news at the moment. This is just a really long overdue ‘Happy New Years’ message that I was too sick to roll out to you awesome fans this past week. Regardless, I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and is excited for the re-release of Animorphs this year! I also currently have a few things planned out for the archive this year, which I will be slowly working on as I get the time (when I’m not updating with the latest relaunch stuff). So stay tuned and be ready!

Until next time!
