Dark Horse has officially revealed details (and at least one photo) of their upcoming White Walker Statue from HBO's series Game Of Thrones. With a release date of December 18th 2013, you might need to wait a little while to get your hands on the undead. The White Walker is a hand-painted, numbered limited edition collectible. Each bust is packaged in full-color collector box and will retail around $124.99.

The Keeper of the Forest, is a wise old beast,
He wanders round the Earth,
looking for a feast.
He's always very hungry,
he could eat a tasty horse,
But the Morrow find him biscuits,
it's what he craves, of course.

From Taylored Curiosities, Penny used a 4″ DIY Kidrobot Munny and combined sewing, her original resin toys, sculpting and up-cycling with painting and needle felting to create this one of a kind creature. The Morrow is hand sculpted and cast in a minty green color and measures 2 cm.

The forest floor is needle felted with an artificial leaf adorned with a button, fixed in place. The Keepers face is hand sculpted and painted. The fungus is also hand sculpted and painted and finished off with moss. A hand sewn nest is the perfect resting place for the Morrow when it's not off collecting biscuits for the Keeper.

Double Haunt and artist Square One have joined forces to release a series of resin toys called The Squares. They are a family of four mechanical robots designed by Square One and sculpted and produced by Double Haunt. Each of the approximately 3-inch tall robots are hand cast and painted. They're available in full color ($30.00) or single colors ($20.00) (single colors are sold blind).

At San Diego Comic-Con 2012, DKE Toys debuted the first 5 sculpts of The Super Sucklord's mini figure line, S.U.C.K.L.E. (Simply Unimportant Collectable Kitschy Little Eyesores).

Sculpted by George Gaspar (October Toys), S.U.C.K.L.E. pays homage to the classic mid-eighties toy line M.U.S.C.L.E. by Mattel. The figures are roughly the same size (around 2" tall) and made similarly out of solid color injection molded PVC plastic.

Since San Diego Comic-Con 2012, 5 new sculpts were created, bringing the total to 10 unique figures for S.U.C.K.L.E. Series 1. The ten figures in Series 1 will include: Sucklord 66, Sucklord 43, Sucklord 16, Ass Wipe, Necromancer, Galactic Jerkbag, Ira Tyranusberg, Another Bitch, Vectar, and Gay Empire.

They've brought this line to Kickstarter in order to raise enough funds for production. KickStarter Reward levels start at $5 and go up to $1,166. The project will only be funded if at least $7,350 is pledged by Tuesday July 16th 2013 at 1AM ET.

3DRetro is proud to present Scott Tolleson's newest figure - Bitta Critta. The 5-inch tall vinyl figure will be available at San Diego Comic Con 2013 at both the 3DRetro Booth (#5051) and Scott Tolleson's Booth (#5139). They'll be available for $50.00.

More about Scott Tolleson's Bitta Critta:

Dressed in his dinosaur costume, BittaCritta lurks the streets.
He’s always a bit dirty … but, charming from head to feet.
With a bottle of his favorite spirit and no love to spare,
Poor homeless BittaCritta invites you to his cardboard lair.

"Inspired by bravery and honor, wisdom and strength.
Protector of the Fates."

Background

The Topobots are the latest series of wood toys from Geared For Imagination’s Topozoo line. While we’ve seen various animals and dinosaurs in the past, this series is made up of four special robots: Herobot, Piratebot, Rockbot, and Vampbot.

As can probably be surmised from their names, each wooden 3-D toy puzzle combines a popular character (especially amongst kids) with a robot. Every Topobot is made up of four interconnecting pieces, each one painted in a single color.

The Facts



Topobots
Series: Topozoo
Manufacturer: Geared For Imagination
Material: Recycled Wood
Dimensions: Around 12"tall
Points of Articulation: Zero
Designs: Herobot, Piratebot, Rockbot, Vampbot
Pricing: $9.99 each

Packaging

The packaging is fairly simple. Every Topobot come packaged on a recycled cardboard backing, and the toy is held in place by clear plastic. All that means is that you can recycle the recycled packaging.

Our Opinion

I have a three-year-old son. Little boys of that age appear to be obsessed with a few specific things: cars, construction equipment, nature (bugs and animals), and robots. Not surprisingly, the moment I opened the package from Geared For Imagination, he wanted to bust open one of the Topobots.

Each figure is made up of four pieces. There are two body pieces and two legs. The body pieces work in conjunction with each other to give depth and changes in color (since each piece is painted one solid color) using the cut holes. Also, there are some pieces (Piratebot’s eye and Vampbot’s heart) where it appears a router – I’m sure they have something much more advanced – has been used to give you a view of the base wood.

As far as playing, it’s fun for kids to be able to put them together and take them about. That also makes it easy for storing them. My son did take advantage of me by constantly asking me to attach the Piratebot’s leg. I’m assuming that, if you wanted to, you could just glue the whole thing together.

As far as characters, I like 3 out of the 4 (sorry Rockbot). I’d probably rank them Vampbot, Herobot, Piratebot and then Rockbot. But kids should be able to relate with each one, as they’re all types of characters they see in cartoons every day.

For collectors, I know there are some folks out there who collect wooden toys. Remember The Good Wood Gang from Friends With You and StrangeCo? Blamo Toys has released several wooden toys. And a lot of Gary Ham and Scott Tolleson’s creations are made of (or started out as) wood. I’m sure there are plenty of others.

And less than $10.00 is the perfect price for a toy such as this.

You can pick one up at the following:

Geared For Imagination: $9.99 each

Tesselate will be releasing a one-off resin piece - Z7200 - on Monday June 17th 2013 at 8PM UK Time (that's today at 3PM ET). The nearly 6" tall figure will be available to purchase for £70.00 (around $110).

Background:

Z7200 is a founding member of the ED-IT DJ partnership alongside B5100. Not often seen on stage or in the public eye, they operate behind the scenes and run the sister business of ACCEX, which develop and produce the machines that the crew use.

Every so often they will trial new prototypes by performing impromptu sessions at the Berlin arm of their 'Ready Place' clubs. So, if you enjoy a discussion on the latest trends in pattern chips or the processing speed of a Trylon© drive, you know exactly who to speak with.

D-Lux has released his I Just Threw Up My Breakfast on Tiffany Sewer Creep from Sewer Creep & Co. This version of the vinyl figure is limited to a run of only 10 pieces worldwide. You can pick one up for $60.00, although I'm pretty sure they will sell out soon.

After being off the market for nearly a decade, Dark Horse gave Trolls new life with a record selling mystery-box program. They'll be releasing a 2013 San Diego Comic Con exclusive Black Light Good Luck Troll. This 2.5" tall green Good Luck Troll with white hair glows under black light. It's limited to 1,000 pieces and runs $7.99.

Art Attack Toys will be releasing the Dynamite Rex Exclusive Abyss 3" Skeleton Double Cast RAAAR! today (Friday June 14th 2013) at 10AM PT. Each 3" tall Skeleton RAAAR! has been cast in bone toned opaque resin and embedded in Abyss Blue tinted clear resin by Mana Studios. This version will be a limited edition of 50 pieces at $65.00 each.

Onell Design has announced that The Buildstation will come back to life tonight (Friday, June 14th 2013) at 9:30PM ET.

Here's what Matt has to say about this evening's release:

This release will be a little different than usual, as the majority of the items popping up in the store have been ordered in high amounts, the highest since the original Founders many years ago. All the Clear Colorless (Stealth) figures and parts will appear in the resurrected Buildstation section on Friday night, and hopefully remain there for some time to come. This is an experiment, and hopefully it makes getting stuff for building easier on a regular basis.

There will be some special releases as well, with order limits in place like in the past.

The thing we're most excited to see finally return on Friday is Standard Pheyden! This will be the MK IV version, with a slightly brighter blue and lighter grey PVC. Of course you can't have Standard Pheyden without Reverse Pheyden (literally), so one of my personal old favorites is also back, now as a MK II edition. Both of these figures have been run in higher amounts and should stick around for a while.

ESC Toy will be releasing the Ni Ni Bot Spitfire by Erick Scarecrow today (June 14th 2013) at 11AM ET. Limited to only 10 pieces worldwide, each 6.5" figure includes a clear resin removable Daseki "Bat" accessory. This is the third colorway in the set. You'll be able to pick one up for $125.00 plus $6.00 for US shipping.
