    Dark Horse revealed the first two figures in their Game of Thrones line at the San Diego Comic-Con set for release early next year.

    Jon Snow and Daenerys will be released in January and retail for $24.99 each. They stand 7.5″ tall and come with their own mini-stand. They remind me a lot of the McFarlane Toys line of LOST figures which I still proudly have my Mr. Eko and Jin displayed today.

    More figures will follow next year with Khal Drogo, Tyrion and Ned Stark making their way to shelves in May and five more unnamed characters throughout the rest of the year. May I suggest the Cersei and Jaime incest 2-pack?

  • Diamond Toys Star Trek “Space Seed” Toy Set. Now I Am Complete.

    Star-Trek-Select-Captain-Kirk-Action-Figure

    Space Seed was the episode of The Original Series that began a legend whose name was Khan. Now Diamond Toys is releasing this set which lets you recreate Capt. Kirk’s fight with the genetically enhanced warrior. You can position the set like you see above or even make Kirk give Khan his famous flying kick.

    There is so much want exuding out of my body right now that I am sure the people next to me think I am ready to take them out for a nice seafood dinner and never call them again.

    A Spock figure will also be released from the episode “Devil in the Dark” complete with a Horta.

    Now I am just convinced that someone is after every bit of money I have in my wallet and even the secret stuff like my ass pennies (Google Upright Citizen’s Brigade for explanation). These were revealed back at the 2013 Toy Fair, but now we have some great quality shots of them.

    The first series will include two Batman’s (one with Batusi hands and another with radioactive cowl), The Riddler, The Penguin, The Joker and Catwoman. And there is no telling how much they will take from me when the inevitable second and third series come out. God the possibilities!!

    Eartha Kitt Catwoman, Julie Newmar Catwoman, Lee Meriweather Catwoman, John Astin Riddler, King Tut, Egghead, Minstrel, Archer!!!

    And you can get an exclusive Robin when you buy this two-pack that let’s you recreate Batman and Robins’ rope climb up the buildings of Gotham!

    Now I just have to find a Sammy Davis, Jr. figure to stick out of one of the windows and I will never have need for another figure ever again.

  • Aliens Figures Will Be On My Shelf In 2013

    I guess it’s a NECA kind of morning.

    After showing off the Bioshock Infinite figures earlier today I went a bumming around on the company’s website and found these beauties that will be available in Spring 2013.

    The first series will come with Hicks, Hudson and Alien warrior. Marines stand 7″ tall and have over 30 points of articulation while the Alien warrior will be over 9″. Hicks and Hudson will come equipped with pulse rifle, shotgun, motion tracker and shoulder lamp.

    Yes, please.

  • Gears Of War Erector Sets Let You Build Sera’s Defense

    Gears of War and Erector have joined forces to bring four sets exclusively to Toys R Us stores ranging in price from 20-50 dollars. Shown above is the King Raven helicopter which comprises over 300 pieces and four figures. The other three sets are the Centaur Tank, Armadillo APC and a Battle Set which can be seen below.

    I think it’s time to re-discover my kid side when Lincoln Logs and building model Millenium Falcons were the spice of life.

  • Masters Of The Universe Pop Figures Are Full Of Eternian Cuteness

    Funko knows how to keep pumping out the Pop Vinyl figures. Just when you think they have found every corner of pop culture to find they come along and surprise you again.

    The company has just announced that in 2013 we will be able to get our hands on these adorable Masters of the Universe inspired figures. The set will include He-Man, Skeletor, She-Ra, Hordak and Spikor. Pop figures usually run around $10 and can be found at many brick and mortar stores or on Funko.com.

    Finally can I just ask who decided to put Spikor in this set? Really? Spikor? Not Beast-Man, Mer-Man or Tri-Clops? Come on Funko.




  • Lego Announces Huge New Arkham Asylum Set

    Yes, It’s Expensive. It’s Lego.

    Lego Lord of the Rings may be getting a bulk of the Lego love this fall but Batman has a huge new set coming soon.

    Releasing in January and only costing a cool $160 this Arkham Asylum set contains 1,351 pieces and is the largest set Lego has made for a superhero. It is based off of the Lego Batman 2 game from earlier this year. Now the only questions are:

    1. Where do I find the space for this?

    2. Where do I find the money to purchase this?

    3. Where do I find the time to build this?

    4. How do I purchase this massive box of Lego’s in public without people thinking I am a complete weirdo?

  • Game Of Thrones POP! Figures Are Coming. Tyrion Actual Size.

    Chances are if you have walked into any Barnes & Noble then you have seen the sections upon sections of Funko’s POP! figures. Ranging anywhere from Batman to the flying monkeys from The Wizard of Oz these figures bring the cute to any pop culture item.

    Now it’s time for these little toys to try their hand at blood, betrayal and incest. November will see the release of the first wave of Game of Thrones figures including Khal Drogo, Daenerys, Ned Stark, Tyrion Lannister, The Hound and a White Walker.

    For me, the Khal Drogo, Ned and Tyrion are instabuys but who am I kidding I will eventually be getting them all. Now if I could request that the Jaime figure come with his shaven head, beard and gold hand. Sorry for the spoiler. Read the books if you don’t want to be angry.
