Now that the LOST season finale has come and gone, search trends show a renewed interest in last year’s LOST Kubricks. Since I can’t tell you who is occupying Locke’s body (or if/when there will ever be a BrautKubrick), here instead is a preview of the upcoming Where The Wild Things Are Kubricks. In anticipation of [...]

Sideshow and Medicom aren’t making it very easy for me to save my hard-fought Benjamins, now that they’re re-releasing the amazing RAH Rocketeer 1/6th figure in a new, sexy Version 2.5. This guy has been my holy grail for a long time now, and I don’t much care that he’s not an original Version 1 [...]

As a general rule, I’m just not that into Disneyana. But this penetrates all walls of opposition. As seen on Freshness today, Disney fuels speculation about a sequel to the classic early-eighties film, Tron, with this Mickey Mouse figure in full “blue program” outfit. Medicom Toy Co. is currently taking pre-orders for the 5-inch figure, [...]

Medicom, Disney and H8G have teamed up once again to give one of my favorite Rocketmen the urban/designer/vinyl treatment. While I’ll never be able to shake the nightmares I had about Lothar and the blimp, I can’t deny my Rocketeer love. At 8″ tall, the $80 figure capitalizes on the same visual appeal that DC Direct’s [...]

For reasons unknown, Boba Fett is something of a cult favorite Star Wars character. Perhaps it’s his screaming death as he plummets accidentally into a space anus, or perhaps it’s that goofy dragon he rides in the Holiday Special cartoon, or maybe it’s the absolutely amazing MC Chris rap song, but the Warsies gots the [...]

True story : I recently lost a friend because I expressed disdain for Christian Bale’s wacky rantings – but when you lose a friend over Christian Bale, is it really that much of a loss, honestly? If you’re interested in having a 1/6th action figure of Bale that’s so accurate that it’ll beat up your female [...]

Out of all of the video game characters that are being made into toys, the little Patapon guy certainly wasn’t high on my list of probabilities – which makes it even neater that Medicom is making a Patapon plush instead of something like one of those Grand Theft Auto harlots. Simple, innovative gameplay finally wins [...]

Medicom’s dipped into the world of The Rolling Stones before with their 12″ RAH line, but I’m pretty sure that this is the first time that they’ve been rendered in 7″ scale. Now, they join the ranks of other rock legends in a similar scale : Jimmy Page, Kurt Cobain, Freddie Mercury, DEVO, and David [...]

In the battle between Northern and Southern California, I’d like to point out that Medicom’s LOST Kubricks hit the San Francisco scene first (see LOST Kubricks Wash Ashore in San Francisco). However, Los Angeles does know how to throw a star-studded party, and that’s exactly what they did last week at Hollywood’s Meltdown Comics. [...]

It kind of doesn’t get much better than this: You’ve got the legendary FUTURA partnering with MEDICOM to make a BE@RBRICK packaged with a CASIO G-SHOCK. G-shock collectors (a fanbase as rabid as toy collectors) might say that the watch (a DW-6900) is packaged with the toy vs. what I just said, but this is [...]

Another cool Be@rbrick from Medicom Toy Co. that they won’t ship abroad! This 1000% Be@rbrick Roen is based on the imagery of Japanese streetwear brand Roen, by Hiromu Takahara. You can have a look at some of Roen’s warez on Diabro where you will find $400 jeans and a whole bunch of cool, albeit [...]

There are certain things you can assume about the female gender. They like puppies. They can’t say no to chocolate. And they love Hello Kitty. I can say this ‘cos I’m a girl. If a boy wrote that I’d say “oh you sexist pig…”, but hey, girls just love all things Sanrio. It’s just in [...]

I skipped Saturday’s LOST panel because of the ridiculous line but my boyfriend made it inside. He sent me a text 40 minutes after it started: “Matthew Fox just came to the panel!” Bitter doesn’t even begin to describe how I felt. I’m happy that he was able to get a good picture. Ever since [...]

Thanks to spies good folks like “naughtyguy9394″ on Hong Kong forums like Uwants, we can all have a look at the Medicom Toy Exhibition 2008. While there were many Kubricks and Be@rbricks to ogle, as a child of the ’80s, I was naturally drawn to the retrobricks: Ghostbusters and Care Bears. Now Ghostbusters and [...]

I love the name Molly. I think that comes just for my soft spot for old John Hughes films like Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink and the Breakfast Club and muse Molly Ringwald. Okay, this Be@rbrick has nothing to do with that red headed starlet but has to do with another Molly, the famous blue [...]

Japan, not content with just being one of my favorite places in the world, is gearing up to combine one of my other favorite things: Star Wars. July 19th begins the Star Wars convention at Makuhari-Messe Convention Center in Chiba. The whole shebang is sponsored by Toys R Us, and will feature [...]

In more SDCC exclusive news, Medicom is adding a new VCD (that’s Vinyl Collectible Dolls, to laymen) to their list of releases in July. This time it’s a cool Star Wars alternate called the Shadow Guard. This guy was originally featured in the game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Apparently they’re super [...]

Another anniversary. Another cool Be@rbrick. Like the Gallery 1950 polkadot B@arbrick, this B@arbrick sports some great gear. In honor of Silas’ 10th anniversary, Medicom has created a Be@rbrick faithful to the signature streetwear line. The 400% Be@rbrick wears an iconic t-shirt designed by James Jarvis and flocked jeans by Silas. The figure drops this [...]

So Spawn is moving, and he’s not even buying you the mandatory pizza and a six pack of beer. What he is doing for you though, is knocking off prices on EVERYTHING available on spawn.com. It seems McFarlane Toys are consolidating their inventory in Sacramento and Westgate, Arizona, and want to sell as [...]

KISS was always an unfunny joke to me. I couldn’t take them seriously enough to enjoy them, and they weren’t ironic enough for me to get behind that either. GWAR, Marilyn Manson, and Alice Cooper did it way better than those other clowns. But even though I was never a fan of [...]
