Disney Collectibles

Disney has some really sweet sculptures by Jim Shore.  Disney also owns some properties you might forget they own sometimes.  Like the Muppets, Marvel and...oh yeah, Star Wars.  Weird.  Anyway, here are some of the sweet collectibles I've come across over at the Disney site.

And there ya go.  A sampling of what you can find over at www.disneystore.com.

New Who

I can't even begin to tell you how heartbroken I am that Matt Smith is leaving.  I haven't loved a Doctor this much since Tom Baker and i can honestly say I love Matt more.  Luckily, I have a way to create episodes and journeys never taken on screen with the awesome Underground Toys collection of Doctor Who toys!

The new Timezones created for use with the 3 3/4 inch figures will really add realism to your playtime.  Not to mention be awesome backdrops for your action figure shots for Flickr.  The one above feature 2075 AD and 1983.  There are promises of more to come depending on sales.  

They all click together making it possible to extend the sets to unimaginable lengths and sizes.

You should start seeing these in August at you local comic shops and wherever else you find your Who merchandise.  If you want to make sure you get your hands on them both, pre-order now from Entertainment Earth or Amazon for somewhere between $40 to $50 bucks before shipping/tax, etc.

Another set of new Who merch you are gonna wanna snag is the companion box set.  Rose Tyler (2.0), Martha Jones (She saved the world), Donna Noble (has been saved), Sarah Jane (with K-9!) and Astrid (She had a hit in the 80's with a re-make of The Locomotion).  

I really wish they would have gone for a hair down version of Martha.  Oh well.  Her sculpt is aweful as well.  Why is it that Martha never gets any of the Who love?  I love Martha Jones.  

Anywho,  Entertainment Earth has 'em for pre-order at $62.99.

NECA 7-inch Aliens Figures

These sculpts are the best I've seen so far if you want some great sculpts of Bill Paxton as a Marine in Alien. Hicks isn't quite right, but close.  30 points of articulation means they aren't stuck in the poses you see in the picture, but can be posed for great shots for you Action Figure shots on Flickr!  The Brown Warrior Alien is actually 9 inches tall, so it's in scale somewhat with the figures. 

You can buy a case over at Entertainment Earth that has Hicks, Hudson and the Brown Alien all

for $54.99.

Get Them BEFORE the Recall.

I don't usually suggest grabbing action figures that are offensive, simply because they ARE offensive, but *IF* you are one of those types of collectors, I suggest you head on over and grab the Lone Ranger figures right now.  This film looks like such a colossal middle finger to Native Americans, that I suspect it will flop (due to more attention to Tonto than the main character) or end up in the middle of a justified outrage and the "toys" will be yanked.  Just a guess though.

Disney decided to cast a Non-Native American as Tonto, despite there being a huge surplus of amazing Native actors.  Sure, sure, you've heard he was adopted by the tribe...well, guess what, 5 people a tribe does not make.  The actual tribe peoples are NOT happy.

He looks like a frakkin' clown.  And have you heard him in the trailer?

Sweet jebus.

Anyway, if you want these, head on over to Entertainment Earth and pick them up for $31.99.

20 points of articulation and 7 inches high.
