Welcome to Toybox! We’ve decided to centralise most of our toy/action figure/adult collectible news into a single feature, which we’ll be running every week or two. This week, we’ve got Kingdom Hearts, a stunning custom Metroid statue and a Halo Mongoose.
Halo Mongoose
Due out in October, the Mongoose is built to accommodate McFarlane’s line of 5-inch Halo 3 figures. It’ll ship with a free Spartan, with three to choose from: an orange one, a “cyan” one and a “crimson & steel” guy that’s exclusive to Diamond and Toys R Us.
Kingdom Hearts Statues
The third line of Square Enix’s Formation Arts series of Kingdom hearts statues depicts six characters: Minnie Mouse, Captain Jack Sparrow, Sora, Pete, Axel & Ursula.
While they were released in Japan last year, you can now get them in the US from a number of outlets, including Square’s official online store, where they’re going for $17 a pop.
Metroid Statue (Custom)
If you can remember back to 2007, you’ll probably remember the amazing custom Metroid figure by red3183 that put pretty much every officially-licensed Nintendo figure ever released to shame.

Well, the guy’s continuing his love affair with Samus, and is putting the finishing touches to this custom bronze sculpt of the galactic heroine. Standing 11 1/2″ and crafted out of solid bronze, it weighs a whopping 20 pounds, and would look perfect on your desk if you had some kind of important job with a corner office and a telephone with lots of blinking red lights.
