Excerpt from the Book of Atellus, Chapter 21:<\/p>\n

It is said that the most sinister of days falls annually at dusk on the 13th of February - the eve preceding that day when all hearts profess their undying love for one another. It is on this night that the darkness and evil that is Scarabus<\/a> grows to its fullest strength, seeking to invade the opening hearts of those preparing for the day to follow.<\/p>\n

Legend tells that the only way to protect one's self from such darkness is to join with your brethren in a hallowed place beneath the earth and possess the powerful but elusive pair of ivory and ebon Scarabus talismans of the family D\u00e6mothyr and hold them close to your heart as the night approaches... As the Toypocalypse begins...<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Beginning tonight (Friday, Feb. 11th at 7pm EST), Four Horsemen Toy Design and TT Underground Gallery<\/a> present \"TOYPOCALYPSE: A Four Horsemen Retrospective<\/b>.\"<\/p>\n
