Three Wise Stormtroopers ‘See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil’ Figurine Set

Posted on 21/02/2022 by hite

Being able to buy a Star Wars-themed version of everything: it’s one of our inalienable rights as human beings. And to prove that is this Three Wise Stormtroopers figurine set made by Nemesis Now and available on Amazon (affiliate link). The three stormtroopers embody the traditional Japanese proverb “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil,” and look quite sharp doing it if I say so myself. That armor looks clean enough to eat off of.

The officially-licensed stormtroopers stand approximately 7″ tall and are cast from resin and individually hand-painted. It’s probably wise they went with individual hand painting instead of trying to paint all the figures at once. I imagine that would take a level of ambidextrousness previously unheard of.

These are going to make a great on my bookcase, which, incidentally, is entirely filled with Star Wars collectibles and no books, making it more of a Star Warscase. So, which one of the figures is your favorite? Mine is the ‘see no evil’ trooper because it reminds me of how most stormtroopers must aim.

Horror Movie Vinyl Figures That Look Knitted: Killer Crafts

Posted on 27/12/2021 by hite

Created by vinyl figure producer Handmade By Robots, this series of collectible vinyl figures features horror movie villains in the style of knitted dolls. They’re not knitted though, they’re plastic, and I’m not sure I’d want any of them staring at me from a bedroom shelf at night, no matter how cute they are.

Available in Ghost Face, Pennywise, Hannibal Lecter, and Leatherface varieties, the $14 toys sit approximately 5″ tall and are just the thing to add a little horror to your everyday life. Me? My everyday life is already filled with enough horror. Just getting out of bed in the morning is enough to make me scream. Especially if the floor is cold, and the floor is always cold.

My grandma knit me a doll for a birthday when I was a child, and, if I’m being completely honest, it looks even scarier than any of these do, and it was supposed to be a friendly bear. It looks more like a zombie bear now. Time has not been kind to Honey. None of my dogs have been either.

This Fan-made TMNT Donatello Figurine is Insanely Good

Posted on 10/06/2021 by Lambert Varias

A concept artist going by the moniker Embertwist recently shared their latest creation on Reddit. It’s a sixth-scale figurine of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle’s gadget expert, Donatello, but with a couple of slick twists. First off are the immediately noticeable purple Air Jordan 1 sneakers, but Don is also rocking a backpack that’s partly made from an NES.

Embertwist designed the 3D model themselves, then 3D printed the model to make a master mold. The final figurine was then cast from resin and handpainted. Aside from the radical accessories, the coloring and textures are just top-notch. It’s amazing how much one person can do these days.

This is actually the second TMNT figurine that Embertwist designed and created. He made a Leonardo figurine last year to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the TMNT movie. Here’s an awesome video synopsis of Embertwists’s process, which they said was the same for both figurines:

If you’re a hardcore TMNT fan, this is the best bit: Embertwist is going to offer a small batch of the Donatello figurine for sale. Keep an eye on their Instagram account for updates and more pictures.

Posted on 22/12/2015 by Federico Lo Giudice

Christmas Action Figures PlaySkool Heroes Star Wars

Christmas is coming and getting gifts for the geeks in your life can be complicated. Luckily, you can never go wrong with a few cool action figures.Christmas is the one time of the year when we get to ask and give things to the members of our family that they really like, but sometimes it can be hard landing the right present. The Walyou team is aware of that, so we have compiled some of the best action figures you can purchase right now, which are some amazing geeky toys for people of all ages. From action figures for grown ups to gifts for kids, here are some ideas so you can have an easier holiday season.

Playskool Heroes Star Wars Millennium Falcon and Figurines

With the release of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, now is the perfect time to get back into Star Wars collectibles. Out of the many, many official sets, our favorite right now has to be the Playskool Heroes Star Wars Millennium Falcon and Figurines, which includes the Millennium Falcon, Han Solo and Chewbacca figurines along with it. Furthermore, it comes with an R2-D2 figure, sensor dish, cannon, ladder, and label sheet so kids can pretend to be the most charismatic smuggler in the galaxy and adults can expose it anywhere they want.

Fisher-Price Imaginext DC Super Friends Transforming Batcave

One of the big characters making a return this year is Batman, one of the main stars in the upcoming film Batman V Superman. This is a Fisher-Price Imaginext DC Super Friends Transforming Batcave for the young ones who are as excited as we are about the caped crusader’s return, and it includes a transforming bat-cave, and Batman and Joker figurines to play in it. It’s currently on sale at $44.99 which saves you $15 USD from the retail price, so this is a great option.

Minecraft Core Player Survival Pack Action Figure

Minecraft has become unbelievably huge, and gamers of all ages and backgrounds love it. That is why the Minecraft Core Player Survival Pack Action Figure has become such a hot item for this holiday season,being the star of one of the biggest games of all times. The best part about it, though, is that you can get this figurine for just under $10 USD, making it the perfect gift for the young ones in the family.

POP Marvel: Deadpool Vinyl Bobble-head Figure

Prediction: if 2015 was the year of Star Wars, 2016 will be the year of Deadpool. With an upcoming movie and all, this POP Marvel: Deadpool Vinyl Bobble-head Figure by Funko is meant to become one of the hottest items throughout the year, and we’re sure it will become a highly sought collectible. Get them while they last, you will thank us afterwards. As of now, this figurine costs just under $12 USD.

Power Rangers Dino Charge – Dino Charge Megazord

While all incarnations of the Power Rangers are special in their own right, we always had some special feelings for the Dino Charge Rangers, our favorite team in recent history, for featuring the Dino Charge Megazord, the coolest mecha they have had so far. The mecha can be disassembled into three separate robots featuring three robots. Still, the point is that all three can combine with other figurines from the series into bigger and bigger mechas.

Toy Story Pull String Woody 16″ Talking Figure – Disney Exclusive

This is an incredibly detailed Toy Story Pull String Woody 16″ Talking Figure, a Disney Exclusive featuring the main star from the Toy Story movie series. It is pretty big at 16″ tall, and when you pull the string, it can say up to 19 different phrases at random. It is on sale right now at $25 USD, half off from its regular $50 USD price, so whether you’re a collector or just think someone would like this present during the holidays, now is the time to get it.

The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Link Nendoroid

Although there weren’t any home console Zelda games this year, we always have a special place in our hearts for Link. This The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Link Nendoroid is based off of Toon Link as seen in the beloved Wind Waker and the Super Smash Bros series. You can buy this cute figurine at 28% off from its regular price for a grand total of $35.94 USD, which is not bad at all for such a detailed figurine.

Star Wars The Black Series Darth Vader 6″ Figure

The Star Wars Black Series by Hasbro recreates some of the most classic figurines that came out along with the original trilogy. These are figurines that are more meant to be cool and classic rather than cute, and might appeal to older collectors. Out of the entire series, our favorite model is absolutely the Star Wars The Black Series Darth Vader 6″ figurine, featuring Anakin Skywalker’s alter ego in its most iconic outfit from the original trilogy. You can buy this figurine for just under $30 USD.

Minecraft Diamond Steve Action Figure

We already talked about how much Minecraft means to gamers all around the world, so that is why we also wanted to recommend a second version of the main playable character Steve. The Minecraft Diamond Steve Action Figure features a 2.75″ articulated Steve in Diamond armor, the most durable set from the game, which comes with a removable helmet, diamond block and a sword that fits in his hand. It is on sale right now, and you can get it for $7.19 (40% off).

Funko POP! Marvel: Dancing Groot Bobble Action Figure

The Funko POP! Marvel: Dancing Groot Bobble Action Figure is the most sought-out Bobblehead figurine right now, and we can’t blame the collectors for this. Groot already stole everyone’s heart in Guardians of the Galaxy and this figurine cranks the cuteness to 11. While you can potentially get the entire cast from the movie for less than $30 USD, we wanted to point this figurine out at $6.99 USD – at this price, it’s a crime to not get it.

Game of Thrones Figurine Collection for Tiny Westeros Reenactments

Posted on 14/05/2015 by Shane McGlaun

Game of Thrones fans can get their little grubby mitts on some new figurines from the show that will let you act out your Westeros wishes in a tiny form factor. These figurines stand 8-inches tall and are made out of non-phthalate materials.

That presumably means some of those harsh chemicals aren’t used so you can play with these without growing a second head. The figurines are from Dark Horse, and right now you can get Joffrey Baratheon, Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish, and Tywin Lannister.

The figure you see of Hodor and Bran will be coming soon and ThinkGeek will let you sign up to be notified. Each of the figurines will sell for $24.99(USD). Is it just me or does Tywin look a bit zombie-ish in the face?

Awesome: We Are Handmade Little Groot Figurines

Posted on 12/08/2014 by Hazel Chua

There’s no doubt about it: Groot made quite the impression as one of the leads in Guardians of the Galaxy, and he isn’t even human! He doesn’t say much, so he lets his actions do the talking instead–and if you saw the hit movie, then you’ll get what I mean. It was only a matter of time before little dancing Groots made their way to store shelves, both real and digital, and these particular figurines by by Kelsey Wailes are nothing short of awesome.

Her first batch features little Groot in 13 different poses, each one showcasing a particular dance pose and facial expression.

All of the Groot figurines are handmade, with each one taking a few hours to make. They’re not available yet, although Kelsey will be putting them up on her Etsy page soon.

Collectible Tyrion Lannister Figurine

Posted on 23/05/2014 by Tam Yue

Tyrion Lannister figurine Apparently HBO’s Game of Thrones has reached a new level of geek-dom from adoring fans; enough so that people are selling and purchasing collectibles from the hit TV show.

If you’re a fan and would like to join in, this Tyrion Lannister figurine is a good place to start. It stands about 8.5 inches tall and actually comes with two pairs of exchangeable hands, a goblet, and a book. (We would have though Jaimie would be the one with an exchangeable hand.) The facial features are as realistic as they can get. It is just proof that the guys at Threezero are really good at what they do.

This figurine is available for pre-order starting on May 26th at 9AM Hong Kong Time (6PM PST on May 25th, to save you a little time zone conversioning).

Star Wars Vader and Son and Vader’s Little Princess Figurines

Posted on 07/03/2014 by Craziest Gadgets Jeff

One of the coolest books we’ve ever covered here on the big gadget blog is Vader and Son, chronicling Darth Vader’s adventures in fatherhood. Now the author of the book has licensed a maquette (small statue) featuring a scene from the book. This one shows little Luke Skywalker giving his Dad an (in)appropriate gift of a tie. Just what a Sith Lord needs- no need to do a Force choke when you could just pull the tie super tight. There’s also a statuette from his other book- Vader’s Little Princess.

Ahh look at little Princess Leia- she’s cut hearts into Darth’s cape. Each 10″ tall figurine is made of cold-cast polystone and is available in a limited edition of just 1500. Each also comes with a special edition of the matching book featuring unreleased concept sketches from the author Jeffrey Brown. Really cool little collectable for the Star Wars Dad out there.

Japanese Cup Edge Sitting Figurines

Posted on 27/02/2014 by Craziest Gadgets Jeff

edge sitter Japanese Cup Edge Sitting Figurines
Here’s another unusual item from Japan that we don’t really know what to make of. This Koppu no Fuchiko (which translates appropriately enough to “Fuchiko on the edge of the cup”) is a little office worker who sits on the edge of a glass. It comes as a set of 7 in all different acrobatic positions perched on the rim of a cup. Plus there’s the “holding a lemon wedge” one for additional WTFs.

Are you supposed to remove the figurine before drinking? Let her drop into your glass? Why does this product exist? And why is it $90 per set? And what’s the deal with the lemon wedge? We’re totally baffled.

Sandboxr lets us easily make custom-posed, 3D-printed figurines (video)

Posted on 09/02/2013 by Jon Fingas

Where was Sandboxr when we were kids? Instead of dragging our parents around on a hunt for the perfect figurine, we could have used the company's new web app to easily manipulate a virtual model and get a 3D printed statuette in the exact pose we wanted. There's compensation for the lost opportunities of our childhood, however. The creation tool allows for customized accessories, scenes and sizing, and it's expected to have reasonable prices of about $12 for a 2.5-inch character and over $20 for a 3.5-inch version. The best news may simply be the likelihood of a figurine existing in the first place -- Sandboxr sees itself as a platform for everyone from 3D animators through to game developers and dedicated toy companies, many of which can use existing 3D models to start a collectible line. The printing service is currently invitation-only and plans a Kickstarter fundraising drive to scale larger, but it's easy to see an end to the days of limited edition figurines -- much to the delight of our inner child.
