We're huge fans of The Walking Dead, and we already love Funko (found in our Loot Crate Launch box giveaway!), so now that they're teaming up to release a new series of Walking Dead bobble heads, well...we're ready to adorn our desks with this new hotness. Characters include Rick Grimes, Michonne, early Daryl Dixon (as well as current, longer-hair Daryl,) and a couple of zombies. Zombie Merle and a Zombie RV Walker (with the screwdriver lodged in his eye that Andrea put there.)
You can pick up the Funko Walking Dead Wobblers now!

We've backed a few games, but there's one we can't wait to play above all others: Risky Settlers Knights and Allies of the Lords of Dominion of Earth: Pandemic Edition. Why? Check out the video after the break to see for yourself.

Check out this life-sized homemade Skeletor sculpture [Video]
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Design, Toys, Videos,
If you were a child of the '80s, you probably remember He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon that was on television every weekday afternoon. He-Man would do his best to rid Eternia of Skeletor. I remember going to Macy's in NYC as a four-year-old and getting to "meet" a life-sized, robotic He-Man that was signing autographs. There was no Skeletor equivalent though, until now. The life-sized Skeletor replica is molded and sculpted based on the dimensions of the action figure. Check out the video after the break for more on the construction of Skeletor.
