“The Avengers’” Weapons In Lego Form

With glowing reviews, major box-office bank, and people getting excited over the post-credits scene, you have to wonder what’s next for The Avengers to conquer?

How about Legos?

Fan Ken Robichaud uploaded photos to his Flickr, of prop replicas of some of The Avengers’ weaponry built by Lego. This includes Captain America’s shield, Black Widow’s Widow’s Bite and Belt, Thor’s Mjolnir and wrist cuff, and Hawkeye’s  bow, brace, and trick arrows.

The “Star Wars” Toys That Didn’t Make It

Ever find yourself perusing down the aisles at Toys R Us and wonder what toys didn’t make it to the racks? For those pondering about what got let out from the Star Wars merchandise behemoth, Jason Geyer from Action Figure Insider decided to reveal a few concepts that never even made it to production in the series.

The story goes that Geyer and his co-workers were tapped to produce merchandise concepts to tie-in with Episode I. His team produced hundreds of art concepts. In fact, you can check out more pictures at io9.

I would have killed to shoot some hoops with a Death Star Ball.

Floxy Plush

They’re cute, soft, hug-able and now come in different flavors. Go on a date with Tuxedo Floxy or sneak around with Ninja Floxy. Are you ready for an adventure out at sea? Then take Pirate Floxy as your first mate. Want to rustle up some cattle? Then Cowboy Floxy will show you the ropes.

Last time, Patch Together only had regular Floxy for online orders on their site, but now all of the costumed foxes are available to order. 

Floxy was a design of mine that Patch Together first made designer vinyls of. Later on they wanted to expand the products so they created these plush versions of my little orange fox.

Stop by Patch Together today if you want to order some of these guys. Also, if you are interested in picking up some Floxy vinyls, click here.

chibi-arts Perona

I am on the late train on this but I just found out there is a Perona chibi-arts figure. This is good and bad for me. It is good because I have another OP chibi-arts to add to the collection, but bad because I just got Ace and now I have to spend money on another OP chibi-arts to add to the collection.

If you are late on this just like me, then unfortunately pre-orders have stopped so you can’t reserve one at the moment. Now we play the waiting game.
