To celebrate the premiere of the new season of Doctor Who, BBC Studios and Mattel have teamed up to deliver this Doctor Who Barbie. You can preorder it at Barbie.com. It has an amazing likeness and captures the Thirteenth Doctor perfectly. I bet this is going to be a hot item for little nerd girls this Christmas. No word on price yet.
Check out this Star Wars Forces of Destiny Princess Leia Organa Adventure Doll. The best space princess ever gets her own Forces of Destiny Doll. And have a look at that amazing packaging. This doll features rooted hair and a cloth outfit. This 11-inch scale adventure figure also comes with an R2 unit, because she has to put those Death Star plans somewhere.
This is an amazing replica of Jyn Erso’s Stormtrooper doll from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It is an 11″ tall polymer clay figure that is strung together with thick waxed cotton cord. It looks completely authentic, just like the one in Star Wars Rogue One. This is one of those neat toys that are fun just to display somewhere in your house, so you can occasionally look at it and pick it up and play with it. Just makes you smile.
Mattel has announced a new line of Star Trek Barbies. These are due to arrive in June and the characters are Uhura, Kirk, and Spock. Amazon has Kirk and Spock right now, but no listing for Uhura. However, you can get all 3 in a set. Uhura looks absolutely lovely and makes a perfect Barbie doll. I assume they will release more characters as well as a scale bridge set since we can see it in some of these images.
As a nerd, I appreciate well designed toys. Especially since we’ve all seen our share of bad ones. I even love stuff that I would never play with. Like this Wonder Woman Barbie based on Gal Gadot. I just don’t make a habit of playing with dolls. Sorry.
But if I did, I would pick this one up. She has some nice upgrades from her previous version, like a royal blue, gold lamé lined hooded cape, a paneled skirt, and a metallic red bustier. It’s all in the details and they really nailed it here. She also has an updated hairstyle and a cool gold shield. I hope lots of little girls get this one and have fun.

Here’s a mashup that I bet you never saw coming. It’s a colorful and bright mashup, that’s for sure. Rage Gear Studios created this fun fan art mashup of Rainbow Brite and the X-Men. Wolverine, the manliest X-Man ever is now Mean Mean Tangerine. Rogue becomes Roguey D’Mint. The art is adorable and they did a great job emulating the whole Rainbow Brite vibe. I just can’t get over Wolverine looking so… Happy and bright.

The other day we showed you the new Barbie “dolls” based on Batman v Superman. At the time Batman and Wonder Woman had been unveiled, but not Superman. Well, now we have some images of the Superman version. He’s looking pretty good for a Barbie doll. You can order him here. Looks like they ship on March 1st. I wonder if Mattel is going to be making more superhero dolls after these. I like what they are offering.
A Wonder Woman Barbie doll is expected, but Batman and Superman Barbie dolls? At least they don’t look like Ken. Mattel has announced their Batman and Wonder Woman “Dolls” based on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Both are available for pre-order on Amazon right now in fact. You can find Batman here and Wonder Woman here. They both stand 13 inches tall. No Superman yet however. I know the female fans will love that Wonder Woman version. She looks great.

Everyone has a favorite Doctor. I have 3 favorites: Pertwee, Baker and Tennant. Well, no matter who your favorite Doctor is, wouldn’t it be awesome if you could cuddle with a smaller and softer version?
Well, StudioOrinocou offers up several plush versions of the Timelord. Use them as a pillow, display them on your couch, cuddle with them during scary Doctor Who moments. These guys are super cute and will make you smile every time you look at them.
Obviously we love quality toys around here and this Batman Nesting Doll Set is very well done. Very Tim Burton-like. This set includes Batman, Joker, Catwoman, Two-face and the Penguin.
I love the paint jobs on each character. Whether you collect matryoshkas or just love beautiful Batman toys, you’ll want to check these out. Sadly the set is very expensive. They would have looked great on my desk.
