Everything Wonderfully Insane About Harley Quinn In One Perfect Figure

I’d say the exclusive head on Sideshow Collectibles’ new Harley Quinn figure has a face only a deranged lunatic could love, but I’m worried about what that says about me.


It’s Just Like Playing BioShock Infinite, Only With More Heroic Clicking

Coming soon to a hobby shop near you, the ultimate struggle for air superiority (or against air superiority?) spills over into WizKids/NECA’s HeroClix universe. I cannot wait to pit old guy in suit against Wolverine.


In Case You Ever Wanted To Own A Giant Punching Robot

Oh, Atom. Poor Atom. Here I hold in my hands — just barely, given the size — another masterpiece from the toysmiths at threeA. I’m holding a figure with astonishing levels of detail, to the point where his feet have springs on them smaller than I thought you could make springs. With a paintjob that looks real. With levels of movement that other toy companies can only dream of implementing.


I’ve Never Seen Action Figures Like This Before

Every artist has his or her material of choice. For some, it’s paint. For others, it’s stone or clay. For Japanese artist Shota Katsube, it’s twist ties.


Creepy Woody, Angry Link And Friends Make Plastic Benches Fun

Japanese toy line Tomy Tec is releasing a series of train station benches. Boring, you say! Well, just look at all the possible figure hilarity these plastic seats make possible.


BioShock Infinite Ported To Wooden Tables

What the upcoming BioShock Infinite: The Siege of Columbia lacks in surround sound and frantic action, it makes up for with things the video game version is lacking in: a tangible world and, more importantly, little plastic men (and women).


Daft Punk Get Fancy Japanese Action Figures

Standing 15cm tall, these Daft Punk action figures are being released by Bandai Japan’s “premium collector’s label”, Tamashii Nations. They’re out in November.


Terrible Star Wars Figures Become Incredible Video Game Figures

Dan from Chicago Toy Collector has taken some crummy old original Star Wars figures and turned them into something a little more video gamey. Cannibalising parts (I can see some Bespin Cloud Car pilots, Leia and Obi-Wan) and doing some repainting work, he’s come up with two lines, one for the Mushroom Kingdom and one for Mega Man.


Because My Children Can Never Have Too Many Alice: Madness Returns Toys

More than a year and a half since the game’s release, Diamond Select Toys prepares to unleash action figure based on American McGee’s Alice: Madness Returns. Royal Suit Alice is going in the kids’ room when she arrives next month, and not just for the trauma factor.


Action Figures Make Star Wars Villainy And Military Heroism Look Damn Good

I still remember the lone Star Wars figure I owned a long time ago in a childhood far, far away. Getting that Imperial Guard was a rare treat for me as my two siblings and I were raised by a single mum. Money was always tight and I always had to plead with my mum to get the action figures that sprang from the movies, comics and cartoons that enthralled me my young, nerdy brain.
