The elusive Cloverfield monster was the talk of the town over the last few months thanks for J.J. Abrams elusive viral marketing. When we received a leaked clip of the Cloverfield monster a few days before the movie was released, we didn’t see anything that indicated that the monster was an albino.

Though according to the revelation of the Cloverfield action figure, apparently the monster had just gotten back from a Caribbean vacation or something when the film was in production. The monster at least looks pretty icky, though not in the “I just shit my pants” way as it was portrayed in the movie. The 14″ figure itself comes with two interchangeable heads, realistic sound, an impressive 70 points of articulation and 10 of the in-movie parasites. Available for $99. (more…)

Speaking of Star Wars oddities, check out this toy spotted on Ebay. Most of us have seen the family holiday favorite, How The Grinch Stole Christmas. But not many of us have seen the less known How The Darth Maul Stole Christmas. Actually, we’re quite sure it doesn’t even exist.

If you have $25 extra bucks, you can own your very own Darth Maul action figure, donning a Santa Claus uniform. Buy it, and don’t open it. Let it sit. — Andrew Dobrow

If they were to recast the original Star Wars for an adaptation with today’s stars, who would be cast? For Princess Leia, my money would be on someone a little less stunningly beautiful then Angelina Jolie. I mean, Carrie Fisher was hot, but not Angelina hot.

This rendition of a Princess Leia action figure stars Angelina in the lead female role. I’d have to think about it long and hard if I were asked to come up with a full cast. — Andrew Dobrow

Here is a really odd story. Eidos is producing a Lara Croft action figure for little boys to molest. Now, when you think of someone that could model for the doll, you’d think along the lines of say, oh I dunno, Angelina Jolie or someone like that. The tall looks more like Woody Harrelson then anyone else. Maybe even Madusa. But perfect Lara Croft?
And call me crazy, but isn’t odd that the majority of the pictures taken are of her lower torso? Did they hire a gynecologist to do the photography? (more…)

He swore he was going to burn down Initech, and he did. What does Milton get for his simplistic honesty? Besides a shit load of Initech’s money, he gets an action figure immortalizing his stapler-toting image! These new Office Space action figures, from what is thought of as one of the most geeky movies of all time, are just too damn cool.

Featured for sale are an 8″ Bill Lumbergh, an 7″ inch Milton, and a Peter, Lumbergh, and Milton bobble-head figure. All are available for pre-order now. (more…)
