Star Trek Big Bang Theory

Sometimes...things just come together. Sometimes...things just make sense. No...this is not a Talking Heads song. Funko are always looking for the next big thing in the world of pop culture and at the same time, look for new opportunities to mine the classic properties we've been buying into since we were old enough to scream "BATMAN" into an old lady's ear....not that I ever did anything like that. That said, you'll agree that bobbles of the cast of Big Bang Theory dressed in Star Trek outfits is a no-brainer, instant win, full of awesome uber idea, yes? We thought so.

He-Man Wobbles & Power Rangers Go POP!

Funko are at it again. We're just going to start calling them the Vinyl Borg, because they assimilate all your pop culture loves. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!! Alf..we are looking at you. Today, Funko drops us a line that they are ready to reveal the first of their long awaited Masters of the Universe pieces and surprised us with some killer Power Rangers POP! Vinyl to boot!

First up, we have the Masters of the Universe. He-man and his medieval and yet often high tech defenders of Eternia square off against the forces of Skeletor and his monstrous army of thugs. For years we've gotten a giant helping of action figures, vehicles and cartoons to further the mythos, so it seemed a no-brainer to immortalize the characters further in little plastic statues with bobbley heads. In past months, we were given teases that the Masters would join the ranks of the POP! Vinyl universe as well, and this still seems like a sure thing. There are a lot of licenses that get treatment in both lines, so hang tight for that announcement! For now, take a look at the Wacky Wobblers with He-Man, Orko, Skeletor and Beast Man, all available December 20th.

Avengers Pre-Show: NECA's Avengers Head Knockers

As we barrel head long toward May 4th, many a collectibles company is preparing to make it rain Avengers movie toys! Hasbro is first to market with a giant line of action figures, vehicles and role play items...but what of the discriminating fan that wants something classy for her work desk top?? Say..a figural representation of her dream boy Chris Hemsworth as the mighty THOR..with a little wobble action in his noggin as if he is saying..."Oh yes, my love..I know your dirty, dirty thoughts." NECA has you covered. This July (or thereabouts), NECA will drop Head Knockers of the 4 all stars of the Avengers movie on us; Thor, Captain America, Hulk and Iron Man! The likenesses are killer, the poses are great and knowing NECA, the quality will be top notch. Watch your favorite online retailers for pre-orders to get the goods.

Packaging and Descriptions for Star Wars Monster Mash-Ups

I swear it wasn't called Monster Mash-Up before, so that's news to me! Retailers received new images of the upcoming vinyl bobble line from Funko that takes your favorite Star Wars characters and transforms them into hideous creatures from a galaxy called HELL!!!

What's funny is the Mash-Up title is a very interesting way to alter public perception from this line being about Star Wars characters turning into monsters to it being an artist interpretation of a Star Wars character combined with an iconic monster from movies and literature. SPINNY!!

So we've got Yoda and a Gargoyle, Stormtrooper and a Skeleton, Darth Vader and Frankenstein and Chewbacca and a Werewolf...which create Yogoyle, Skeletrooper, Vadenstein and Werebacca! OK I made those names up, but I'll let them use em' if they ask me nice...and send me some. Look for Funko's Star Wars Monster Mash-Ups this September.




And now...My votes for upcoming releases...

Greedo and a Zombie (with the blast hole in his chest so you can see clear through)
Leia and the Bride of Frankenstein (which makes it incestuous...so double the horror)
Porkins and the Hunchback (just for the sake of comedy)
Han Solo and Dracula (cuz he gets the ladies)
Luke Skywalker and a Giant Bat Creature (to turn bunny teeth into bat fangs, of course!)
Darth Maul and The Mummy (trade the saber for a staff)
Grievous and The Fly (make use of those extra arms!)
R2D2 and The Blob (little transparent pink killer robot!!)
C3PO and The Creature from the Black Lagoon (just thinking about what the end design could look like makes me smile)

Who do you want mashed up??

Limited edition of 504 pieces.






Talky Tiny from the episode "Living Doll" : Long before Chucky, there was Talky Tina, star of one of the most spine-chilling episodes of The Twilight Zone ever aired. In the show titled "Living Doll" that also starred Telly Savalas, Tina kept coming back and coming back, no matter what he did to try to destroy her. If you remember that frightening episode, you may think twice before ordering this item. But don't worry. After all, she's only an innocent, 6 1/2-inch tall, talking resin bobble head… or is she? Limited edition of 504 pieces. Talky Tina speaks the following phrases:
"My name is Talky Tina, and I love you very much."
"My name is Talky Tina, and I don't think I like you."
"My name is Talky Tina, and you'd better be nice to me."
"My name is Talky Tina, and you'll be sorry."

This is a limited edition of just 504 pieces!






The Mystic Seer from the episode "Nick of Time" : "The hand belongs to Mr. Don S. Carter, male member of a honeymoon team on route across the Ohio countryside to New York City. In one moment, they will be subjected to a gift most humans never receive in a lifetime. For one penny, they will be able to look into the future. The time is now, the place is a little diner in Ridgeview, Ohio, and what this young couple doesn't realize is that this town happens to lie on the outskirts of the Twilight Zone." Based on the classic The Twilight Zone episode "Nick of Time" that starred William Shatner, this terrific Mystic Seer Bobble Head measures about 6 1/2-inches tall x 3-inches wide x 2 1/4-inches deep, and it even includes fortune-telling cards as part of the packaging. Wouldn't this look great on top of your TV set? Limited color edition of 1000 pieces!






Kanamit from the episode "To Serve Man" : Based on The Twilight Zone's rather disturbing "To Serve Man" episode from 1962, this remarkable color-version bobble head from Bif Bang Pow! presents The Kanamit, a considerably covert character set on adding mankind to his menu of delectable dishes. The alien emissary is incredibly and authentically detailed in 7-inch scale, holding his "cook book." Buy him, admire him, but don't invite him to cook dinner! Limited edition of 504 pieces.
