Images of the Prince of Persia movie toys by Macfarlane are out, they are 6 inches tall, and will retail for $10.

There are 3 other figures, a boxed set of the Prince and his horse ($15) , a movie playset ($19) and a toy dagger ($10) coming out in May.

You can see more pics of each toy at Spawn.com

I’ve seen a bit of geeky jewelery before, but I think this is the first time I have ever seen a toy grabber anything. UFO catcher machines are a huge part of the gaming culture in Japan, and they have some of the cutest toys and figures. Some of which you can’t find in stores.

The point is, I wish there were some of those machines over here in NY .

You can find these toy catcher necklaces at Fluffles, they come in a few other colors and run for $22. You can also find some very cute unique plushies!

While in Japan I visited the Kotobukiya store (several times…because I’m an addict), and while there I took many pictures of their displayed toys. They had a line  of these really cutesy violent figures displayed each with their own label, all except one was labeled in Japanese.

I will be uploading the rest of the Kotobukiya pics soon so stay tuned!

- Evil and Justice. Trifled by the wheels of fate, the Twin Phoenix.

- MARVEL Bishojo Statue Series, a series that turns the American Comics Heroines into
figurines, according to the art of the popular illustrator [Shunya Yamashita].
- Chosen as the 5th character to join this lineup is the omega-class mutant, [Phoenix]!
- Phoenix is known as the other side of [Jean Grey-Summers], being one of the original
members of X-MEN, an [Omega-class] mutant with power to potentially change the world.
- And this Phoenix has been productized with a very active pose, as if emerging from the
flames, just like her name.
- Phoenix is scheduled for release with the villain that could be seen as the other Phoenix,
the [Dark Phoenix] (sold separately).

- Height approx 230mm.

This is fantastic take on X-Men’s Pheonix, both are so awesome I can’t decide yet on which one I’d get (probably the Dark Pheonix version).

She’ll run you about $58 dollars and you can pre-order her here.

These were created by Meagan Vanburkleo, you can check out how she made them here.

Current Mood: Excited

One of the best things about Japan, besides the fact that they serve beer at KFC, is the plentiful amount of arcades and toy shops. Seriously, you can’t throw a stone without hitting a Pachinko parlor around here and the toy stores sometimes go up 9 stories high.

Aso Bit City was one of the first multi-floored toy stores I checked out. Being that photo’s aren’t really allowed there aren’t that many in this tour set, but you at least get to take a peek.

Liono stands at about 15 inches tall, 17 inches across with his long, sweeping hair.
His arms are jointed, and he has a tiny Sword of Omen’s that is Velcro-attached to his paw.

Liono was mostly hand-sewn, partially machine-sewn.

How freaking cute is that?

He runs for $195 which is a high price to pay for a plushie, but when will you ever see a Liono plush in stores? Even if you do it’s improbable that it would be as freaking cute as this one. You can order one here.

No word on the release date but I’ll try to update if I find out when.

A super pose-able Bayonetta figure will be hitting stores my shelf come this May! You can pre-order her here now and she will run you $50.

Current Mood: Do want

How cute is he?!?

This Weenicon has not just a cute face but splashes of slime on him that glows in the dark.

This figure is limited to 120 pieces and only sold in the UK, you cannot get this shipped anywhere other than the UK from the official Weenicon site. So if that is where you live then 1. you are lucky and can order this figure and 2. you can order him here.
