The holidays are a time for joy, family, thankfulness, and hell-spawned heroes bent on getting their old life back after being tricked by a devil! Well, maybe that last part doesn't quite fit-- or maybe it does. You see, McFarlane Toys is bringing a little Spawn-related cheer next week with the release of an extremely limited statue.
That's a photo we snatched of the statue at this year's New York Comic Con. For all the info on said pile of coolness, hit the "more" tab!

Ashley Wood is a one helluva creator and it definitely shows in the designs for his line of World War Robots from ThreeA Toys, based on the IDW comics! The figures produced through the company are more art than action figure, and manage to have a unique feel in an already crowded market. We've been wanting to snag a couple of these for a while, but held off knowing that once the addiction set in for these robotic war machines we'd stay broke from then on! Well, thanks to our local comic shop's distribution of Sideshow Collectibles merchandise, we finally gave into temptation. Today, we're gonna check out the Gerry 1G and Mod 7 1G Armstrongs from ThreeA's WWRP line!

We're suckers for Metal Gear. From the first time we frustratingly infiltrated the winding halls of Outer Heaven in the original 1987 Konami NES game, Solid Snake and his brand of covert justice have been on the top of our list of videogame franchises. Hideo Kojima's stories of military treachery, cloning, and secret societies have always been sprinkled with bits of insanity that manage to break the fourth wall with the player. Needless to say, we quickly grab up any and all Metal Gear-based toys we can find, and Square Enix has been delivering some of the coolest yet. Join us as we take a de-classified look at Snake: Battle Dress Version from Square Enix' Play Arts line of figures.

Now that we've all stuffed our collective faces with holiday feasts, we can finally get down to the business of buying some presents! Granted, we SHOULD be generous and be picking things out for those near and dear to us, but sometimes you gotta treat yourself. It just so happens that our favorite toy sculptors, and all around cool guys, The Four Horsemen will be having some exclusive busts available this Cyber Monday! The busts are based on their creator-owned Scarabus character and are all done in-house at the Horsemen's studios! Badass, right?! Yeah, we thought so too, so keep on reading for all the info and a sneak peek at the goods.

The Avengers will soon be known to most of the populace by their looks in the upcoming film. While that's great and all, we like to remember them the way we first saw them in the Marvel Comics all those years ago. It just so happens that our friends at Kotobukiya are helping keep that nostalgia fresh in our minds thanks to their line of Classic Avengers Fine Art Statues! Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor are the first to be released and look to continue Kotobukiya's trend of high-quality statues that have to power to make people weak in the knees upon looking at their unfettered glory.
Read on for more info on each Avenger, plus a ton of photos.

While Deadpool probably makes a pretty penny on the mercenary circuit, we imagine merchandising helps to support his rampant taco/chimichanga habit, and it looks like our friends over at Gentle Giant Ltd. are his enablers! That's right, today we're looking at two awesome pieces of Merc-With-A-Mouth-Merchandise that will go great on any shelf or office desk: a Deadpool Mini-Bust and that grotesquely-amazing pencil cup.

Blind-boxed toys are both extremely popular right now AND incredibly addicting. Not knowing what toy you'll open up can cause fits in some as the buy up entire cases of toys from Kid Robot, Disney Vinylmation, etc., in order to score the one little bobble they have their toy-lovin' eye on! Well, our friends at Mezco Toyz have thrown their hats in the ring with the release of the new Living Dead Dolls Figurines. Are these new toys as cute as vinyl releases from other companies? Are they as horrifyingly creepy as the Living Dead Dolls? Could they possibly be both?! Read on to find out as we review these tiny, addictive wonders.

"Finally, The Rock has come back to the toy aisle!"-- is what this figure from Mattel's WWE Survivor Series Heritage Collection would say if our reality was full of insanity and action figures could speak. This Sunday, The Rock (fresh from filming his role as Roadblock in G.I. Joe 2) makes his in-ring return at the 25th Anniversary edition of WWE Survivor Series. Why would readers of MTV Geek! care about WWE? Well, it stars a bunch of outlandish characters in tights, beating the hell out of one another! That sound familiar to all you super hero fans?
Tension between The Rock and, his tag team partner, John Cena are dangerously high and while they have to co-exist against The Miz and R-Truth, we're gonna put their action figures in a no-holds-barred ass-kicking contest toy review! Know your role and read on as we take a look at the Rock from the Survivor Series Heritage Collection and the Defining Moments John Cena action figures!

Did you take a look at that first photo?! Go ahead and take another peek. Let that pile of badassery soak in for a second and then ask yourself,"Why am I even reading these words and not scrolling through more photos of Kotobukiya's Archangel Fine Art Statue from their X-Force Series?" It's because you're insane. Obviously.
That's okay "Crazypants", cause Warren Worthington happens to be off his rocker as well. Hit the "more" tab to read all about Archangel's info straight from our friends at Kotobukiya. Don't worry-- there are lots of photos as well.
