Figures 'n' Films
I'm a collector of pop culture items, with by far my biggest collection being in excess of 1,200 DVDs (yeah I still stay old school - can't wrap my head around the whole streaming thing yet), as well as various figures and Memorabilia (with most of these being McFarlane Walking Dead 5 inch figures, Funko Pop and Funko Pint Size Heroes, with a few other exceptions too). I'm a massive nerd and giant child at heart so feel free to have a chat about anything toy and movie related.
My biggest movie passions are horror by far (especially slasher and zombie), sci fi and to a lesser extent action and comedy.
WandaVision is a mini series which has just premiered on Disney+ which has become well known for producing some top grade tv… In particular The Mandalorian which has just finished its second run to waves of applause. So there were high hopes for this new streaming series taking […]
This new Kranky figure colaboration with Sket One has just hit the Super Plastic online store for pre-orders at £68 each, for the first of a series of 6 colourways celebrating the streetart adoring downtown Los Angeles all the way through to Venice Beach. This first colour has […]
Available to pre-order now from the KidRobot website is this gorgeous black matte version of Frank Kozik’s let us prey 10 inch vinyl figure. It’s due to be sent out in the second quarter of 2021 for a limited time only and retails at $100, so they’re not […]
These One:12 series figures of Batman Supreme Knight (their Darkest dawn edition) should start shipping in January of this year, and the waiting list is currently open so that you can try and get your fingers on one (well technically up to 2 if you wanted) for $95 […]
KidRobot are probably most well known for the Munny and Dunny series of figures, and those are certainly by far the most impressive parts of their range in my opinion, but they also make some incredibly good plush toys… Many of which you would never think would make […]
This quite frankly incredible figure is going to be dropping on the Flaw Toys website below on 14th January at 8am PST for $140 so if you like it, I wouldn’t sit around waiting for too long! If you take a look around the Flaw Toys site, you’ll […]
Even though Alien came out in 1979, NECA are still celebrating the 40th anniversary with an ongoing series of action figures with special 40th anniversary backing cards. As well as being an amazing film which has stood the test of time, I believe it is also the theme […]
These things are equal measures of cute and fun, and I’m sure they’ll do very well. KidRobot are known for some of their more wacky plush toys, whether this is plush nigiri, plush hover boards or plush fried chicken, so it’s no shock to the system that they […]
2020 was a strange year for the whole planet, and it looks like the start of 2021 isn’t going to go that much better. The London toy fair for example should be just around the corner and I was originally looking forward to going there for the first […]
I don’t know how on earth I missed this thing, because it is absolutely awesome! It’s not the first time that KidRobot and Chia Pet have teamed up, with there being a few Munny figures where you can grow a hair do, but this is a little different […]
Shop Pop Online have got 3 exclusive Funko pins, which are available on their website now, and each one of them is limited to just 600 pieces so get in there quick before they’re gone. At $24.99 each they’re a little bit more expensive than I have seen […]
A double pack of figures featuring the ork Gorzag Gitstompa and his ammo runt, Nikkit is available now from the Games Workshop website below for £21, but hurry it’s a limited release which is only available until 2am GMT on Monday 11th January 2021. This 8 piece kit […]
On 23rd February 2021 your Disney+ package is going to become a whole lot bigger and it’s still going to be at a great, if slightly inflated price. That means that in the UK you’ll now be paying £7.99 per month (or £79.9o for the full year) instead […]
Funko have just released a new line added to their Paka Paka Capsule range, with one of 15 different vinyl figures in each capsule. These figures are actually pretty cute and all except for one are made up of a hearty bowl of soup. To name just a […]
There’s no doubting that Lego isn’t just a toy for little kids… I still get a Lego model every year for Christmas from my wife and I’m 36 and I know plenty of other guys around my age who love to partake in a little Lego building. Lego […]
Unbox Industries have worked with Chris Lee to bring a soft vinyl version of the neopolitan colourway of the 4 inch tall rhino beetle which is looking absolutely incredible and is out today. Available from Unbox Industries from 15:00 GMT today for $60 with a strict limit of […]
I very rarely write about Warhammer, which is a real shame! It is the epitome of the collectable figures market! It is a hobby based around the collecting of what are simply exquisite small figures with the added feature of coming blank, ready for you to paint, as […]
There is no denying that the Mandalorian has been a huge success for Disney, and in particular their streaming service. I know of numerous people who signed up to the service purely to watch the Mandalorian, so it makes sense for them to explore a whole new storyline […]
TCon the ToyConosaurus is the physical figure which brings the mascot of the UK ToyCon to life each year, and every year it is very slightly different. The one which you’ll see in this article is my own one which came from the 2020 ToyCon and has a […]
In our home we have two entertainment based traditions, with the first being that we watch the Big Fat Quiz of the Year just after Christmas, and the second being that over the festive period we’ll have a Die hard movie marathon… We fit in as many as […]
I know that 30 is a lot but this year has actually been a year of pretty damn cool pops produced by Funko… I know they had a lot of problems this year (as many companies have) and have had to scale down a little but they still […]
Super Plastic are helping us all say good bye and good riddance to 2020 and chiming in the new year with a 30% off sale across their site, including the series 3 Jankies! head over to their website now suing the link below and use the code JANKY2020 […]
I should have done a trailer reaction for this streaming show, but you know what, the opportunity completely missed me by, so I’ll give you a bit of a reaction now! Most of that reaction is to be honest one of relative disinterest and also a little confusion. […]
Available to pre-order now is a brand new line of DC pops for Funko, with the majority being available through Pop in A Box now with a slated release date of February next year. They’re £9.99 each or in their 2 for £18.99 offer. The reason why I […]
Wow, now that’s a hell of a question! I could write on for ages about the various different series, sizes and collaborations but that would make for one long post which I think no one is going to want to read. So what I’ll do instead is to […]
