Why would a character from a PS3 exclusive game be wearing a PC? Why wear a computer for that matter? Never mind, Sackboy’s still cute.
The officially licensed Sackboy Computer Gear action figure comes in two sizes – the 3″ figure sells for appx. $8 (USD), while the 6″ figure…

After years of being someone else’s steed, Yoshi finally gets his own ride, thanks to custom action figure maker/Flickr user/Nintendo super fan Donald aka Kodykoala. I love the details on his custom Yoshi mech, from the bolt-like markings to the scratches and faded paint.…

It may not be life-sized, but Bandai’s 1/12 RX-78-2 Gundam is still huge. It’s about 5 feet high and weighs about 77 lbs.; assembling it will surely be one hell of a weekend project.
As you can see, the Gundam comes equipped with equally gigantic accessories – a beam saber,…

eBay seller fugayzie is selling this neat set of custom-made Donkey Kong action figures, complete with the iconic red steel bar and barrels. As you can see, fugayzie went for a realistic version of these classic video game characters. The results are, shall we say, mixed.

I’ll apologize in advance to any of our readers who find themselves confined to a wheelchair, or who are physically-challenged in any way. But whoever at Mattel thought that this pint-sized Jake Sully in a wheelchair should be called an “action figure” clearly had their head firmly up their arse.…

If there’s anything that the Final Fantasy series is known for, it’s character design. Notice I said known, not “famous” or “infamous”, because opinions among gamers go either way. Still, even if the human characters still come from the These Would Be Awesome for Cosplay School of Design…, you’ve

Designer Ryan McElhinney must be a fan of Katamari Damacy…; some of his lovely creations are basically huge mishmashes of toys that form what would mundane or traditional household fixtures, like this grandfather clock.
McElhinney uses recycled toys for his creations, bonded together (with a katamari?) and then coats

I don’t know if he’s the action figure counterpart of console modder Ben Heck, but the customizer who goes by the moniker Jin Saotome does have an extremely long list of modified or custom made action figures. While most of them are Transformer mods/creations, I like his G.I. mods, where…

Just about the only thing good about the recent Transformers… movie are the new versions of our beloved Autobots and Decepticons. Although I’m sure some of you will say that even the new designs suck. Also the movie changes POVs and angles every nanosecond so we hardly got to appreciate
