NECA's Pacific Rim Figures have Surfaced

The action figures from one of this year's most anticipated films Pacific Rim have been revealed thanks to NECA.

The 7" full articulated characters Gipsy Danger, Crimson Typhoon, and Knifehead will make up Series 1 which were created directly from the digital files used by ILM in the making of the movie. Interestingly enough is that the online toy stores are not showing the totally rad Knifehead (even though we've seen him in the trailers) but we do have an image (below) thanks to Toy News International.

All three figures are now available to pre-order separately or all together as a 3 pack
from HERE.

Winnie the Pooh Fan Spends $100,000 on Collection

The Daily Mail in the UK has reported on Winnie the Pooh fan Deb Hoffmann who has spent nearly $100,000 building up the world’s biggest memorabilia collection in her home.

This massive 20 year collection consists of 8,900 items including a limited-edition bee worth $1,000 and Pooh bears from the 1960's. The entire collection so far fills four rooms in her four-bedroom house in Wisconsin.

"I scour thrift shops and websites like eBay for anything to do with Pooh and his famous friends including Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore. One of my most valuable items is a handmade bee that was part of the original Disney World Winnie the Pooh costume. I love Winnie the Pooh because he’s so friendly and warm and I think he represents a simpler time, safer time when we didn’t have so much tragedy and drama in the world. I might slow down in the years to come but I don’t think I’ll ever stop." - Deb Hoffmann

Deb's collection has taking up so much room she’s now hanging some of her collection from the ceilings. If you like to see more images of this mega Pooh fan go HERE.

3D Printed Custom Action Figure

Here's a new idea to create your own 3D printed custom action figure called Makie by MakieLab.

"MakieLab is a London-based toys and games company that's dedicated to creating "future-smashing" toys. What exactly that is, I'm not sure. The company's creations feature a rare level of customizability and detail in both the models and their clothing, not to mention realistic glossy eyes, a design choice some might deem creepy, but that I prefer to think of as awesome."  

 

Using highly sophisticated 3D printers that bonds powdered plastic via lasers, so the print resolution is quite high, Makie let's you design figures using its online app, making it easy to customize the figure without too much effort. Each figure also has a hollow inside to allow intrepid hackers to insert electronics into the models. Here's a quick figure we made:

Each 10" figure is well articulated and comes in three shades of skin color and can choice your eye and hair color also. If you'd like to know more about or order your own Makie go HERE.
