Doctor Who Dynamix 9” Vinyl Figures by Big Chief Studios - The Tenth Doctor

Doctor Who Dynamix 9 Inch Vinyl Figures by Big Chief Studios - David Tennant as The Tenth Doctor

Thanks to our friends at Atomic Martians, The Blot recently found out about Big Chief Studios’ upcoming line of Doctor Who Dynamix 9” vinyl figures!!! Needless to say I am super excited about this new toy line and I see a ton of potential here. Big Chief’s Dynamix line will offer unique interpretations of characters from Doctor Who, the world’s longest running sci-fi TV show.

With each regeneration of the Time Lord, a new actor assumes the role of the time travelling Doctor and brings with him a unique portrayal of the character. Dynamix plans to capture the very essence of each actor’s Doctor in dynamic poses as if it was from a moment were frozen in time. The first figure scheduled for release will be the Tenth Doctor as portrayed by David Tennant. Wearing his trademark pinstriped blue suit with flowing trench coat and trainers, the Doctor stands ready for his next time travelling adventure.

These ultra-stylized vinyl figures remind me a lot of Upper Deck’s now defunct All-Star Vinyl line, and I just hope they are as equally well made. It would also help if the figures actually look like the person they are based on (as opposed to UD’s ASV figures which rarely looked like their subjects), but from the images seen here it appears like the inaugural Doctor Who Dynamix figure is spot on! I for one can’t wait to get my hands on one of these!

UPDATE: You can now pre-order one of these awesome Doctor Who figures from Entertainment Earth here for $79.99.

Mars Attacks! Pop! Sci-Fi Vinyl Figure by Funko

Mars Attacks Pop! Sci-Fi Vinyl Figure by Funko

If you haven’t jumped on the Funko bandwagon yet, here’s your chance! Funko is about to release a cute, chunky 3.75” vinyl figure of the Martian from Tim Burton's 1996 movie Mars Attack! I know I keep saying this, but I’m constantly amazed at all of the different property licenses Funko has included in this toy line. They go above and beyond to ensure each figure accurately depicts the character it's based on by giving every toy its own unique sculpt. Take the Martian from Mars Attacks! for instance. It includes a crazy looking enlarged brain encased in a clear glass dome, and comes wearing a turquoise spacesuit with a black blaster.

The Martian from Mars Attacks! Pop! Sci-Fi vinyl figure by Funko is not expected to hit store shelves until next month (January 2012) you can pre-order one now from Entertainment Earth here for $9.99 each.

V for Vendetta Pop! Movies Vinyl Figure by Funko

V for Vendetta Pop! Movies Vinyl Figure by Funko

A few months ago The Blot shared with you the concept art for Funko’s upcoming V for Vendetta Pop! Movies vinyl figure. Well now I’m excited to share with you the final product! While the movie was good, the comic book is amazing and this figure is all that and more! Plus, could this figure’s release be any more appropriate with Guy Fawkes’ face a symbol of the “Occupy” movement? "Remember, remember the 5th of November!"

While these 3.75" V for Vendetta Pop! Movies vinyl figure by Funko are not expected to hit store shelves until next month (January 2012) you can pre-order one now from Entertainment Earth here for $9.99 each.

Johnny Cupcakes Star Wars T-Shirt “Bake More”

Johnny Cupcakes Star Wars T-Shirt “Bake More”

If you asked my wife, she’d tell you The Blot’s never seen a Star Wars t-shirt he didn’t like. And you know what? She’d be right! I’m a sucker for a good Star Wars homage, and Johnny Cupcakes' new t-shirt “Bake More” is a winner in my book. Just seeing Star Wars’ signature font puts a smile on my face.

Sizes are already selling out, but if you act quickly you can still purchase one of these Star Wars inspired Johnny Cupcakes “Bake More” t-shirts from the Johnny Cupcakes online store. The shirt is available for $35.99 each in both men’s and women’s styles, sizes S-3XL.
