Photographer and art editor Matthew Magruder‘s “(Tiny) Star Wars” photo series is awesome. These Tintype Photos Of Star Wars Toys capture the nostalgia and treat it as if it has been around for much longer. Tintype is a photographic process that dates back to the 19th century and gives the images a vintage look, as if you are looking at toys from that time period.

So Mattel recreates the Justice League trailer with some scenes where action figures replace the heroes. It sounds like a cool winning combo, but it’s not. It’s weird guys. It tries to do what fan trailers do, but they miss the mark on almost every level. It just comes off half-hearted, but maybe that’s just me. What do you guys think? Do you like it?
We may have had to wait 25 years for this figure combo, but it looks like it was worth the wait. We are finally getting action figures based on the popular comic book characters EndoCop and Terminator Dog from the 1992 Dark Horse comic RoboCop vs. The Terminator, written by Frank Miller and illustrated by Walt Simonson. It’s a classic. The Robocop Vs. The Terminator EndoCop and Terminator Dog 2-Pack are 7-inch scale figures have between 20 and 25 points of articulation each. You get the Terminator Robocop hybrid, EndoCop and the Terminator dog. They look pretty amazing.
These fun Superman and Batman vs. Aliens and Predator 7-inch figures were revealed at Toy Fair 2017. They put Batman and Superman against the most dangerous aliens there are. The Dark Knight and the Man of Steel team up against an Alien Xenomorph and a Predator Warrior as seen in the pages of DC Comics/Dark Horse Comics crossovers. The most terrifying thing here is that Joker Xenomorph hybrid figure with white-painted exoskeleton, lime green skull dome and bright red lips. A Xenomorph mixed with the Joker? Now that is the stuff of nightmares. The three main sets should arrive this fall and include: Batman/Aliens – Batman vs Joker Alien Hybrid 2-Pack; Superman/Aliens – Superman vs Alien Warrior 2-Pack, Batman vs Predator – Armored Batman vs Predator 2-Pack.

I admire the craft of hand carving wood. I’m always amazed at how much detail woodworkers can put into their projects for one thing. These Hand Carved Wood Star Wars Figures are pretty amazing. At first glance they look like nutcrackers, but they are just cool figures. You might say that they are the wood equivalent of action figures, all hand carved by artist Christopher Buchholz.
He even makes the accessories out of wood and some are removable. The heads can be turned and the arm and leg joints are movable. So they can be displayed upright or in a sitting position on a shelf. Below are some of our favorites, but he has more in his shop.
Funko is the master of cute figures and plushes. They have their hands in everything. And now they have unveiled yet another line: 6″ Playmobil figures.
They already have figures for Ghostbusters, Doctor Who, TMNT, Back To The Future and Willy Wonka. I want them all and I can’t wait to see which characters they offer next.

How is this for the start of the new year? Hot Toys has released a photo giving us a preview of their Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 action figure lineup! They all look pretty stunning, but as usual Baby Groot steals the show. Here we see Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot. It should be noted that these are just prototypes that were made for the figures, but even so, you can tell they are going to be great. I can’t wait for the movie to arrive. These figures just make me even more excited about it.
