StarCraft's Queen Of Blades Shrunk, Turned Into Statue
StarCraft's Kerrigan/Queen of Blades is getting a large (25 inches), detailed and terribly expensive statue that'll go on sale later this week.
An Iron Man Figure Worth Its Weight In Gold
For ages, Kotaku's Luke Plunkett has taunted me with pictures of Hot Toys figures, the most spectacular sixth-scale, highly-articulated, true-to-life (where applicable) toys available. Now I've gotten my hands on one — the Iron Man Mark XXI Midas Armor sold by Sideshow Collectibles, and I may have been better off…

It's been two years since last saw Nathan Drake. Enough time for hearts to grow fonder, start to miss the man, miss the adventures, miss the half-tuck. To help fill the void, Sideshow have a giant $160 action figure on the way.

Following up my review for the Hot Toys Avengers Hawkeye figure, I was surprised to find my order of the Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece The Dark Knight Rises 1/6th scale figure Batman arrive in the mail. Granted it was one month late, but the Hong Kong collectible company is both notoriously and understandably late in…

They are an elite fighting force led by a pair of twins that feel each other's pain. They are the Imperial Guards of Cobra. They wear red leather, not caring that the 80's were three decades ago.

They never did catch that Jack the Ripper, did they? Some suspect it was all a Victorian plot. Others, a foe best left for the Dark Knight.
