Lost Kubrick Chase Figures - Ben and Desmond

Here’s an exciting follow up to The Blot’s previous post on the Lost Kubrick and Be@rbrick vinyl figures by Medicom. Medicom typically puts in mystery chase figures into their blind box series of figures, so I was really excited to find out there was not one but two secret, previously unknown figures included in their Lost Kubrick series.

First up is the Ben Linus Kubrick figure, which comes with a cane and might have the best hair of all of the Lost Kubrick figures.


Not to be outdone, the Desmond Hume Kubrick figure has pretty sweet hair as well. But alas, he is the only Lost Kubrick figure to not come with an accessory! The Blot is a little disappointed he didn’t come with something, but I guess I’m ok with it because I’m just glad to see him in Kubrick form at all.


I still haven’t seen any of these figures in person yet, but when I do I’m sure to snatch up a few blind boxes. If you’re interested in purchasing a sealed case of 24 blind boxes to try and collect the entire set, you can purchase it here for $149.99 from Big Bad Toy Store.com.

FAO Schwarz’s Build-A-Muppet

How cool is this?!? Growing up, The Blot was a huuuuge Muppets fan. Whether it was Kermit, Fozzie or Gonzo, or even Big Bird, Oscar or Grover over on Sesame Street, I couldn’t get enough of Jim Henson’s crazy creations. Well, now everyone can create and own their own personalized, affordable Muppet through The Muppet Whatnot Workshop at FAO Schwaz.


I think this is the best idea. Obviously it’s just a different take on the Build-A-Bear craze, but with the Build-A-Muppet platform your new puppet can be personalized well beyond just their clothing. Head here and you can see exactly what I mean by creating a Muppet yourself! The Muppet Whatnot Workshop allows you to choose the Muppet’s color, eyes, nose, hair and clothing to create a unique Muppet all your own.

Each Muppet Whatnot takes 3-4 weeks to be created and delivered and can be yours for $90 each.
