Steve Jobs Action Figure Gets Trashed
As a cultural icon, it’s no surprise that companies would seek to “immortalize” Steve Jobs by creating products in his image. One company released an eerily realistic Steve Jobs “Action Figure”… and was quickly shot down by Apple. Continue reading
2001: A Space Odyssey Monolith… The Action Figure?
Featuring a grand total of zero points of articulation, one of the most iconic images of sci-fi film history is now available in “inactive” figure form. Capable of spurring evolution amongst your other action figures, the 6.75″ monolith is made of “semisynthetic, organic, amorphous, solid materials.” In other words, plastic. But don’t get too excited just yet, the Monolith Action Figure was nothing more than a cleverly crafted hoax crafted by April Fools’ geniuses ThinkGeek. Don’t be too shocked if... Continue reading
Baby Batman Dolls
Inspired by cosplay, these Baby Batman figurines come in your choice of Batman (Classic), Batman (Modern), Joker, Robin, Bat Girl, Cat Woman, Two Face and Mystery. These are pretty adorable in a “I have more toys than you kid” sort of way. Link [via]
Ultra-Realistic Michael Jackson Thriller Action Figure
Looking almost more like Michael Jackson than Michael Jackson looked like Michael Jackson, this ultra-realistic set of Thriller Action Figures features MJ in both his normal pre-surgical and pre-allegation days, with iconic red leather jacket, and also in his much-touted zombie form. Thriller is probably my favorite music video of all-time. Having a Michael Jackson Thriller action figure to show off in my office with my other various toys would just add to my overall awesomeness.

Collectable Kid Little Mac Figure
One of the first action figures I built myself was none other than Richter Belmont from the Castlevania series. It took a lot of work, paint and spare parts but it came out alright in the end. But it doesn’t matter. Collectable Kid puts me to shame with this recreation of Little Mac from Punch Out!. To top it off, it’s based on the newer Wii version of the game as opposed to the 1980′s classic. If you want to... Continue reading
Toys That Make No Sense: Mickey Mouse Tron Toy
OK, I know that Disney released the original Tron film in 1982. And I get that Mickey Mouse is the de facto symbol of the company. But other than that, what the fuck does Mickey and Tron have in common? Link [via]
An ASIMO of Our Own: 1/8 Scale Action Figure For The Masses
Sure, you could argue that this 6″ tall ASIMO action figure is only 1/8 the bot that the real ASIMO is, but mini-ASIMO would beg to differ. It’s the heart and soul of a robot that really matter! Everything else is just scrap metal. The time for us to have a real ASIMO bot in our home will eventually come, but for now, I’d settle for the miniature. Oh, and ladies, he’s robotomically correct!

Watchmen’s Rorschach Masked and Unmasked Action Figures
If you haven’t seen Watchmen yet there are a few (but not too many) essential sights you have missed before you can say you’ve truly lived. For one, you’ve missed seeing a gigantic CGI-enhanced blue penis. You’ve also failed to witness the unmasking of the antihero Rorschach a.k.a. Walter Kovacs. Reading his blog would be a good start at getting to know this mysteriously masked man, but how well can you really understand a man without looking him in the... Continue reading
Terry Bogard Action Figure
I can’t even begin to tell you about the excitement that filled my body when I came across this fucking incredible Terry Bogard action figure. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Terry, he’s from the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series of fighting games from SNK Playmore. This figure is the coup de grace of all things KOF related but alas, all good things must come to an end. That’s because this lovely figure isn’t available for... Continue reading
DIY Dead Space Action Figures
Designing your own action figure shows that you have a lot of dedication and heart for a particular comic/video game/series/whatever. Usually the best way to go about designing your own action figure is to start with another model and modify it. This is exactly how creator Chris Hooton designed Isaac from Dead Space. He took an old Cyclops figure from the Marvel Legends line, which looks just like Isaac unmodified, and gave it a paint job. The bloody torso on... Continue reading
