Remember those awesome Star Trek ReAction figures we told you about last month? Wave 2 has now been released. The second set of four will be available in July. This set includes Captain Kirk and Scotty of the Enterprise, Vina the Orion slave girl and the Gorn.
Hopefully Funko will follow this up with a wave 3 that has the rest of the bridge crew. I’d love to see some others like Trelane and Harry Mudd.
Collector and Star Wars historian Mattias Rendahl has an awesome new book called Star wars A New Proof. It is a detailed look at Kenner’s vintage Star Wars packaging designs which includes proofs, Artwork and more. It looks like a treasure trove of behind the scenes info about the vintage toys we know and love.
The book will be $45.00 and pre orders start on April 7th at dearpublications.com. Check out some of the pages below. I know I’ll be buying this one right away.
Some people just play with their action figures, while others make an art form out of playing with their toys. Photographer Hrjoe has taken this wonderful series of photos that capture our favorite Marvel superhero action figures in funny situations.
It’s like watching secret behind the scenes footage of their lives together. Or a Marvel sitcom. You won’t believe some of the situations they get into.
Now that Jupiter Ascending has arrived in theaters, you might want some toys from the movie. Well, if it’s dolls of the two main characters that you want, you are in luck. Tonner has you covered. You can choose between two versions of Jupiter Jones and Caine. They are available to order right now.
Funko has a new line of retro Star Trek figures that they have added to their ReAction line of action figures. These are Star Trek figures as they would have appeared in the retro Kenner format back in the day. These 3 3/4-inch tall ReAction figures have 5 points of articulation and features the 1980s style card back design. You can choose from Spock, Sulu, McCoy and Uhura in this initial release.
If I have one complaint it is that Sulu doesn’t come with a sword, but I’ll live. I love these ReAction style figures. You can pre-order them right now at the links above.
LEGO the final frontier. This is an amazing replica of the original U.S.S. Enterprise in LEGO. It is even more amazing when you consider that it was built so that all of the little studs are not visible. It was created by LEGO wizard and Star Trek fan Chris Melby.
He used 18,000 LEGO bricks and worked on it for 8 months. It measures over five feet long and these images just blow me away. Too bad we don’t have any official LEGO Star Trek sets.
Etsy seller muckychris is truly an enlightened soul. I know this because he sells all kinds of cool Geeky Zen Buddha Statues. Check out a sampling below. They are sure to help you reach your zen place and might even bring you some luck sitting on your desk. You can get Yoda, Boba Fett, Cylons, Batman, Groot and many more.
These are fun geeky decorations and they are only $7.99. Plus every order comes with a free Millenium Falcon keychain. Shut up and take my money! These figures are fun and several would look great together.
Even superheroes need to kick back and relax sometimes. LEGO superheroes prefer to rest on LEGO couches of course. And here is a whole set of both.
These clever and imaginative LEGO figures by Angus MacLane give us a look at what superheroes and other pop culture figures do when they have some down time. Turns out they are just like us. Well, I don’t know about that guy who was stabbed in the chest though.

This ongoing LEGO chibi micro contest is fun. Not to mention all kinds of cute and creative. Below are just some of the neat Sci-Fi vehicles that LEGO fanatics have created in chibi style. These are all done in micro scale. Some of the entries get really creative.
I’m always impressed at what people can make with LEGO. You’ll see several famous vehicles that you recognize from TV and movies, just much much smaller and much much cuter. I especially like that Landspeeder.
When we think about Darth Vader, we usually picture him doing something sinister. Like Force Choking someone or blowing up a planet. That’s why it’s so striking and fun to see images like this. This put a smile on my face. This CGI photography is titled Kid Vader. It was a personal project from London based photographer Parker Biley.
Here we see Darth Vader as a young kid, playing with all of his toys. Not sure if he is putting that LEGO Yoda together with the Force, or tearing it down, but I love it.
