Ali Miller with Irrational Games' NECA-made Sky-Hook prototype, which she won this month as part of a random giveaway. Don't worry NECA will be selling them one day too. More »

When I wrote about that amazing Mario Kart board game last week and posted the video, a few of you said someone should make a little remote-control race track based on Nintendo's popular game. Damn you! More »

This summer, like the summer before it and the summer before it, will see Wonder Festival. What's the big deal about Wonder Festival? Well, do you see this figure of Samus from Metroid? Do you like it? More »

Trumpcard's Two Cents says they've found a promotional company that appears to be gearing up to start producing Vault Boy puppets. Perhaps these cute Fallout 3 guys are an offshoot of Penny Arcade's Vault 77 comic. Either way, I just want me a Vault Boy to yell at. More »

Artist Rolito, the man behind the stylish graphics of Patapon has produced this vinyl toy based on the upcoming PSP game. The toy, which is part of the custom BearBrick series, will be available in stores on Feb. 26th. There's no word on the price, but given the size and what I've seen of other BearBrick prices it should be around $5.99 or so. But, don't quote me on that. More »

Jessica Chobot, whose PSP licking antics here on Kotaku lead to a writing gig on RedAssedBaboon and then a hosting gig on IGN, is getting her very own set of anime-styled action figures. More »

Joystiq's Wii Fanboy has a story up of a Wendy's Kids Meal toy, a USB thumbdrive and a Wii Remote... don't worry it has a happy ending. A gamer gutted one of those tiny Wii toy remotes from Wendy's and slapped in a USB thumdrive to create this wicked little device. Pretty damn neat idea, too bad he couldn't add a little nunchuck to it too. More »

Not all transforming robots can have cool names like Starscream or Megatron and turn into things like gi-normous scorpions or kick-ass 60s race cars. The Transformers and Decepticons need their support staff too, the bots that deal with communications, with video and with data. Meet POWER UP VT6, by day a handheld gaming system, by night a data hacker and mind-scrambler. Cool abilities, really bad name. Brian Crecente More »

As usual, Wonderland brightens my day with a bit of silly toy fun. This time around, Super Mario noisemaker plushes. One's a Question Block, the other a turtle shell. It'd be kinda fun to hang those blocks up around the house and occasionally jump up to score some coin. Brian Crecente More »

Just because Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 didn't exactly set the world on fire, doesn't mean its game goods can't. (And some will argue that the series is now produced to sell certain segments of the population life-sized character pillows.) This year, DOAX2 gets a Kasumi beach resort statue, which doesn't really look like its in-game counterpart. I mean, look at those thin ankles! Kasumi has chunky ankles!! And those jubblies, Kasumi has — er... Yup, the fake plastic part, they got that right. Brian Ashcraft More »

Capcom just sent me a Collector's Edition of Lost Planet along with this sweet little VS to add to my growing video game action figure collection. Yes, that's a Lego me standing in front of the giant robot... don't ask. Brian Crecente More »

Pikachu is not your friend. Doesn't matter if toy maker Tomy has dubbed this torture device "Tomodachi Pikachu" (Friend Pikachu), the yellow pocket monster is the enemy and must be destroyed. And the 150 plus Pika words this stuffed demon speaks, thereby encouraging small children like my son to repeat over and over again? Hogwash. Those red light-up cheeks are a mere foreshadow to the blinding rage the product will ultimately unleash. That being said, I'll probably buy it for my son's birthday. Brian Ashcraft More »

If I didn't have so much crap covering my work station already, I'd totally get this US $32 New Super Mario Bros. desktop warrior. It's made by Bandai and looks great—even next to an Xbox 360 and slim PS2. How humiliating! More »

A Metal Gear doll? It can't be! When Metal Gear Solid 4 eventually hits stores next year, Japanese toy company Medicom hopes that you'll be poising this Snake toy and talking to yourself. No pricing or release info yet, but expect this 12 incher to ballpark at US $100 plus. Brian Ashcraft More »

Here it is dear reader, the only official Samus Aran figure ever produced! This was made back in 2003 by Joy Ride Studios, selling for around US $10. She has 12 articulated points; however, some, such as her shoulders, are restricted by her armor. The toy did include an unmasked Samus head! Though, we'd really prefer if this Samus kept her helmet on. Brian Ashcraft More »

Glenn from Canada writes to point out that Microsoft and Kellogg's have teamed up to do a very Game & Watch type of giveaway. These Xbox-themed mini games look cool as hell. I especially like the really small two with the direction pads. Brian Crecente More »

Mattel, the folks behind Nintendo's Power Glove and the Intellivision game console of yore, is back in the gaming saddle. The company is releasing a new game console called the Hyper Scan, which aimed at the "tween" (between 8 and 12 years old) market. Apparently, this bracket isn't quite ready for real hardware and needs training consoles. Um, okay. Sure. More »

The moniker "Comic-con" is slightly deceptive. We all know the convention is geared towards comic book geeks, but there are those occasional sprinkles for game nerds like us. Take this super cool Samus sculpture that was on display, for example. Any one that saw game-related goodness, do sent it along. We'd love to see it. Brian Ashcraft More »

A Kratos dolly hand-sculpted is up on eBay for you to waste lunch money on. The seller explains that the figurine was "resculpted" from a Marvel Legends line of toys to match the PS2 game God of War. Likewise, things like the beard, toes, costume and paint detail are all impressive. At the time of writing, the bidding was hovering over US $90, with "was" being the keyword. Brian Ashcraft More »

Those Street Fighter ladies sure are trashy. The just released GIRL-FIGHTING (all caps) Sakura gives figurine collectors with an eyeful of her red underoos. We're providing you with the classiest photo we can find of the fig. One take across the room of the doll still wrapped in protective plastic. And Cammy looked so poised to win the 2006 S.F. slut-out. There's always next year. More »

No, that's not a hair gel ad. Final Fantasy diehards will happy to know that main character Cloud Strife gets repainted. The figurine that was previously released wasn't exactly up to snuff. The character's motorcycle also is redone. That's nice of Square, considering that it's taken donkey's yonks for Advent Children to find its way Stateside. More »

Chibi Robo is a Game Cube title about a tiny robot that goes around cleaning your house, feeding your pets and cooking your food. While Nintendo's official tagline for the game (Live the life of a robotic housemaid and discover drama and high tension hijinx in mundane spaces.) leaves a lot to be desired, the game is apparently an enormous hit in Japan.
