Spider-Man T-Rex Gets An Action Figure

Pulled from the pages of the Edge of Spider-Verse #1 comic, Spider-Rex (aka Pter Ptarker) is a Spider-Man/t-rex hybrid learning about his powers. And now, the character has been immortalized as a 16-inch action figure released by Marvel and Hasbro and available at Entertainment Earth. Move over, grandma’s ashes; there’s about to be a new star on the fireplace mantle!

Web-Chompin’ Spider-Rex features poseable limbs and a classic blue and red Spidey motif. He also has ten sound effects activated by a push of a button on his back and can launch a ‘dino blast’ projectile from his mouth via a push of the button at the base of his tail. Will ashes accidentally be scattered all over the living room carpet as a result of an unfortunate dino blast? I’d like to think not, but the possibility is real and high.

I’ve got my fingers crossed for even more dinosaur superhero hybrids because this is a trend I could really get behind. Probably me and every other six-year-old! Still, Spider-Rex should be thankful he can shoot webs because those little Spidey arms would be useless otherwise.

‘Fortnite’ gets a ‘GI Joe’ character with a matching action figure

It’s no longer rare to see action figures for video game characters, but an action figure designed to accompany the character is relatively rare — and Epic Games wants to give it a try. The developer has released a Fortnite outfit for GI Joe’s Snake...

Battle Mech Goomba Is Ready to Defend the Mushroom Kingdom

Of all of the characters in the Super Mario games, I think the Goombas are some of the most innocuous and easy to deal with. But in the hands of toy customizer KodyKoala, one particular Goomba is a serious badass.

This custom-made figure features a Goomba decked out in armor and ready to do battle against any plumbers who dare to jump into the Mushroom Kingdom. He made the 6″ tall figure by cobbling together a bunch of different toys. I love the spiky turtle shells attached to his gauntlets. His green body almost looks like one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but the feet are wrong for that.

The NES cartridge backpack is also a really nice touch, painted up with “Blow me” graffiti. If you love this guy as much as I do, head over to KodyKoala’s Etsy shop where you can grab this awesome custom toy for $112.

Three-headed Doge Figures: Three Times the Shiba Inu

Who doesn’t love Shiba Inu dogs? We have a couple of them living next door to us, and they’re the cutest. And then there’s the Doge internet meme, along with the DogeCoin cryptocurrency which it inspired. So you’d think that three Doge would be better than one, right? Well, after seeing these three-headed Shiba Inu toys from Japan, I’m not so sure.

Borrowing their name from the mythical three-headed creature known as Cerberus (aka Kerberos), the Shibaberos collectible figures come in five different styles – one where the three heads are horizontal, one where they’re vertically-stacked, a wacky pyramid configuration, one that’s standing, and another that looks like the afterimage of a Shiba Inu shaking its head from side to side. They’re all equally weird and silly.

They only measure about 2″ tall on average, so they might look cute on your desktop. These three-headed doge toys were made by the Japanese Gashopon company Qualia, though I can’t seem to figure out where you can buy them.

Robocop ReAction Figures: I’d Buy These for a Dollar!

Toymaker Super7’s ReAction line of action figures is designed to capture the feel and style of 1970s and 1980s action figures from brands like Kenner and Mego. So in other words, don’t expect them to be screen-accurate or well-articulated. That’s the charm. If you dig those kind of retro figures, and loved the original RoboCop, then you’ll want to check out these ReAction figs.

First up, there’s RoboCop himself. The 3.75″ tall figure is done up in a shiny silver paint, with five points of articulation and an oversized pistol that most certainly won’t store inside of his leg. You can also get battle-damaged and glow-in-the-dark versions of RoboCop if that’s what you’re into.

Next, we’ve got a figure of OCP’s famed ED-209 police robot, as he gives Mr. Kinney five seconds to comply. The 6″ tall bipedal robot has four, count-em, four points of articulation, and is guaranteed to fall down stairs. Kinney figure naturally has a bloody hole blown in his chest, arm, and leg.

Last, but certainly not least is the figure of Emil Antonowsky, the bad guy henchman who managed to get himself dipped into a vat of toxic waste. Naturally, this is what he looks like before he got splattered all over the windshield by his buddies. Fun fact: Did you know that Antonowsky was played by Paul McCrane, the same guy who played Dr. Romano on ER? You know, the guy who gets his arm chopped off by a helicopter? It must be in his contract that he gets mutilated in every role.

They also make a special glow-in-the dark edition of the so -called “Toxic Waste Thug.” All six RoboCop ReAction figures are available from Big Bad Toy Store, with prices ranging from $14.99 to $34.99.

Rubber Duckie Action Figure: Bathtub Superhero

Until now, the only duck heroes I was aware of were Howard the Duck and Duck Dodgers. Maybe Duckman if you want to stretch things. But what if there was a real superhero duck? That’s what we’ve got here. The duck we need.

After getting his hands on seven cheap rubber duckie toys, model maker Tomohiro Yasui painstakingly melded them together into a single new action figure. The surgery that was required to put together the duck-faced hero looks a bit horrifying, but the finished figure looks like the Six Million-Dollar Duck. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better. Stronger. Faster.

I’m hoping that Marvel picks up on this idea and decides to make a movie based on this guy. Too bad the Duckman name is already taken.

Terminator Dark Fate T-800 Action Figure Is Back

When Arnold said “I’ll be Back” in The Terminator, he solidified his throne as the summer blockbuster lead for the next several decades. The T-800 has appeared in several sequels, and this November he’s back again in Terminator: Dark Fate.

Fans of Arnold and the Terminator franchise can get this Dark Fate T-800 7″ action figure from NECA.

The figure is fully-articulated with “movie accurate” details and and authorized likeness of Arnie. It comes with an interchangeable head wearing sunglasses, and three deadly looking weapons to wield, presumably at the same time.

It’s available for preorder for $23.99 from Entertainment Earth and will ship this October.

Add This Picard Action Figure to your Collection: Make it So

When it comes to Star Trek, I am Team Picard. That said, I do like the new Star Trek films as well. Action figure collectors and Star Trek fans will want to add this impressive Jean-Luc Picard action figure to their collection.

QMX’s photo-perfect action figure of TNG’s Captain is 1/6th scale (12″ tall), and it’s not cheap at $199.99. But the figure is incredibly-detailed, with screen-accurate Starfleet uniform, more than 30 points of articulation, and comes with several interchangeable hands and weapons.

One of those appears to be the flat facepalm hand that memes are made, as well as a cup of tea, earl grey. The figure is available now at ThinkGeek or direct from QMX.

Funko POP! Office Space Action Figures Need You to Come in Saturday

Office Space was a fantastic flick. I particularly loved the scene where they beat the stuffing out of the hated laser printer that always says PC LOAD LETTER. Now, Funko has immortalized the main characters of Mike Judge’s classic comedy with their own POP! vinyl figures.

The Bill Lumbergh figure will ask you to work the weekend and wants his TPS reports right now. The Milton Waddams action figure wants his red stapler back, or he will burn the place down.

The Peter Gibbons action figure hasn’t really been missing work. All three figures are available from ThinkGeek for $12.99 each.

Freddy Krueger Action Figure: Sweet Dreams Ain’t Made of These

Any child of the ’80s who swore to their parents that they could watch A Nightmare on Elm Street and still sleep alone that night will remember the stark terror that Freddy evoked. You will also not forget the laments of your parents saying you would never watch another scary movie as you begged to sleep in their bed.

Now, relive some of those Freddy nightmares from before the flicks went super cheesy with this creepy Mego action figure.

The Freddy Krueger action figure has the Robert Englund face that you remember, and Freddy wears his trademark hat, creepy red and green striped sweater, and that deadly knife finger glove.

The action figure is made from ABS plastic and cloth. It stands 8-inches tall, and has 14-points of articulation let you pose Fred in just about any way you can imagine. ThinkGeek has the action figure for $19.99. Ever wonder if Fred was an X-Men fan?
