Kamala Khan Is Getting an Action Figure!
Kamala Khan is getting an action figure, and I’m totally gonna buy it! I don’t know when it will come out, there’s no word on price, but just look at this beauty!
I’ma gonna git you!
The toy was revealed at the start of Comic-Con this morning, along with a couple other options that I don’t particularly care about. All that matters is that Ms. Marvel is awesome and somebody out there has done something smart.

A Nice, Fun, LEGO Ghostbusters Way to Hopefully Start a Sad Monday
LEGOs are awesome. The Ghostbusters are awesome. When they come together, and when the Internet applies its magic, we get videos like this one.
Major props to the fine people at digitalwizards for this digital masterpiece.

Welp, Looks Like I’m Going Broke on Spider-Man LEGOs This Year
Toy Fair is rocking New York City this weekend, with all manner of cool toys and action figures on display. I need to go to Toy Fair some day, but sadly, not today. Thankfully, there Internet is here to show us what we’re missing, and it turns out that I’m probably going to be spending a lot of money on LEGOs this year. Specifically, Spider-Man LEGOs.
More specifically, there’s this bridge playset that features mini-figs of both the Scorpion, one of my favorite Spider-Man villains, and the Scarlet Spider, with whom my entire comics collection is partially indebted. You guys have no idea the depths to which I collect Scarlet Spider merchandise.
Ultimate Spider-Woman is awesome too
The playset itself is pretty awesome. I usually prefer vehicles, but that is a pretty confident looking section of bridge. Plus those characters are too good to pass up. Perhaps I could find them solo for far less money, but at this stage of the game, let’s pretend I’m a millionaire. Scarlet freakin’ Spider as a LEGO, that’s just mind-blowing. That’s the sort of thing my brother and I literally dreamed about as kids.
Check out the rest after the jump!
The New Ghostbusters are Getting LEGOs Too!
No sooner do I finally get my hands on the Ghostbusters LEGOs then a new Ecto-1 set is announced for the new Ghostbusters movie. Man, what’s single, childless adult man with disposable income supposed to do? This is, honestly, almost the exact same set.
And I still want it! Look at the detail, look at the characters, look at the new Ecto-1! It’s gorgeous!
You’ll also notice that they added Chris Hemsworth’s character to the set, whereas Annie Potts wasn’t in the original Ghostbusters’ set. Hmmm. Still, the whole thing looks great! And you can see some more pics and some close-ups here.

6 More Characters That Need Action Figures (So I Can Also Buy Them)
We all have hobbies. We all have vices and guilty pleasures. For me, it’s collecting action figures. I’m not one of those collectors who wants them kept in the box, or someone who hunts down every single variant and buys 10 of them. I’m a casual action figure collector, picking up the characters I like when I happen to find them.
The psycho part is when I put them on display in my apartment…
The ladies love action figures
Most recently, I finally got my hands on this Hobgoblin Build-a-Figure I’d been longing for all last year. This figure could have been a travesty, because as a Build-a-Figure, I would have had to buy six separate action figures at $20 a pop to get all the pieces! That’s insane! Fortunately, I found him for cheap on eBay, and all is right with the world.
It put me in the mood to talk about action figures, which is a List of Six I’ve already done once before. But if I could somehow control the action figure market, what other characters do I want to see sculpted and on my shelf?
