			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While I remember what happened to the original <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2010/11/23/steve-jobs-action-figure-no-longer-available/">Steve Jobs Action Figure</a>, I kind of like this 1/6th scale 12-inch collectible figurine even better.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59981" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/062711_rg_SteveJobsFigurine_01.jpg" alt="062711 rg SteveJobsFigurine 01" width="600" height="800" title="062711 rg SteveJobsFigurine 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-59980"></span>The Steve Jobs Limited Edition 12-inch Collectible Figurine includes a 1/6th scale sculpted Steve Jobs head and a matching 12-inch figure body. There are other tiny items included, such as the iMac, Magic Mouse, Bluetooth Keyboard, iPhone 4, iPad 2, a desk, a chair, and Steve&#8217;s outfit (New Balance 992 sneakers, black T-shirt and jeans).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59982" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/062711_rg_SteveJobsFigurine_02.jpg" alt="062711 rg SteveJobsFigurine 02" width="600" height="900" title="062711 rg SteveJobsFigurine 02 photo" /></p>
<p>I wonder if Apple will shut this down as well. It&#8217;s possible, but since the retailer is somewhat mysterious in its ways, it might actually sell out before the corporate giant flexes its muscles and makes it history.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59983" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/062711_rg_SteveJobsFigurine_03.jpg" alt="062711 rg SteveJobsFigurine 03" width="600" height="801" title="062711 rg SteveJobsFigurine 03 photo" /></p>
<p>No word on where you can get your hands on this yet, but with an Apple-like price of $160 (USD), you&#8217;ll have to be a real Apple fanatic to want to buy one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This spectacular custom Transformer turned up on <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-Custom-Masterpiece-SCORPONOK-g1-mp-/300551108912?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item45fa3df930">eBay</a> this week, and it&#8217;s really a beauty. The Masterpiece Scorponok was created by ThyVipera Customs, and it measures about 2 feet tall.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54627" title="Masterpiece-SCORPONOK-custom-by-thyvipera" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Masterpiece-SCORPONOK-custom-by-thyvipera.jpg" alt="Masterpiece SCORPONOK custom by thyvipera" width="600" height="800" /></p>
<p><span id="more-54626"></span>The colorful custom Transformer has pretty much fully-articulated joints, with head, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees and feet able to swivel and move.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54628" title="Masterpiece-SCORPONOK-custom-by-thyvipera_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Masterpiece-SCORPONOK-custom-by-thyvipera_1.jpg" alt="Masterpiece SCORPONOK custom by thyvipera 1" width="600" height="800" /></p>
<p>Scorponok can switch between Robot and Scorpion Battlestation modes. In the latter, he wields a massive arsenal of 4 double-barrel cannons and 4 missile launchers. There&#8217;s even room for small figures of Cyclonus, Scourge and Lord Zarak to man the turrets and pilot the giant purple and green scorpion-bot.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54629" title="Masterpiece-SCORPONOK-custom-by-thyvipera_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Masterpiece-SCORPONOK-custom-by-thyvipera_3.jpg" alt="Masterpiece SCORPONOK custom by thyvipera 3" width="600" height="603" /></p>
<p>ThyVipera built this bad-boy from &#8220;countless&#8221; Transformers parts and figurines, then hand-painted the whole thing. It&#8217;s really an incredible custom toy, and it&#8217;s already got bids nearing $1000 (USD) &#8211; and that&#8217;s with 5 days left to the auction.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54630" title="Masterpiece-SCORPONOK-custom-by-thyvipera_4" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Masterpiece-SCORPONOK-custom-by-thyvipera_4.jpg" alt="Masterpiece SCORPONOK custom by thyvipera 4" width="600" height="534" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From Sideshow Collectibles and Lucasfilm comes this limited-edition diorama of a classic scene from the <em>Return of the Jedi</em>. Okay I actually don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s a classic scene or not because I&#8217;m not a big <em>Star Wars</em> fan. I don&#8217;t even remember this scene; I had to look it up in Wikipedia. Anyway this diorama is a freakin&#8217; conundrum – on the one hand you have the sexy Princess Leia in her slave outfit (that&#8217;s a classic isn&#8217;t it?). Veeery Nice. Especially the view <a href="http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/200037_press05-001.jpg">from behind</a>. On the other hand. 90% of the 7.5&#8243; x 14.5&#8243; x 9&#8243; diorama is a slimy giant slug with one of his eyeballs about to pop out of its socket because the slug&#8217;s being choked to death. Boner Shrinker.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26756" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/princess-leia-jabba-the-hutt-diorama.jpg" alt="princess leia jabba the hutt diorama" width="600" height="399" title="princess leia jabba the hutt diorama photo" /></p>
<p>Unless of course you have a thing for slimy giant slugs with one of their eyeballs about to pop out of its socket  because they&#8217;re being choked to death. But if that was the case Princess Leia would just be a distraction. Dammit! Make up your mind diorama! The &#8220;You&#8217;re Going To Regret This&#8221; diorama won&#8217;t be released until the 3rd quarter of this year, but you can pre-order it now at <a href="http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&amp;sku=200037">Sideshow Collectibles</a> for $225 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This unpainted figure is supposed to be 14<sup>th</sup> century poet Dante Alighieri. Dante was a lot of things: creative genius, devout Catholic, a man in love, a man in pain . . .</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="size-full wp-image-21857 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/500x_dantesinfernofig.jpg" alt="500x dantesinfernofig" width="500" height="666" title="500x dantesinfernofig photo" /></p>
<p>But he was certainly never a scythe-totin’, demon-slayin’ loose cannon veteran of the Crusades who doesn’t play by the rules.</p>
<p>I wish I were being facetious. In Visceral Games’ <em>Dante’s Inferno</em>, instead of lamenting over the death of Beatrice and writing some pretty epic poetry by the light of a fire, Dante – returning home from the Crusades – takes Death’s scythe and plunges into the Underworld to rescue Beatrice’s soul.</p>
<p>So it’s safe to assume that, as a student of English and Literature, I won’t be propping this interpretation of Dante up on my desk anytime soon. Not unless I want to totally ruin my scholarly cred. The worst part? The game, as a medium for play, is probably <em>really</em> fun. <em>God of War</em>-like. Too bad it’s dressed in disservice.</p>
<p>I’ll have a chance to play <em>Dante’s Inferno</em> at the Game X Industry Summit this weekend in Oaks, PA, so who knows. Maybe it will somehow, magically, offend less.</p>

<p>Gotta love the blood splatters, as well as those amazing eyes and the signature hair. Is it just me, though, or does this look like Blanka&#8217;s face has a hint of something like a Hannya mask? It&#8217;s a good look for him, certainly.</p>
<p>I wonder if a bloody Blanky sitting center stage by the computer might frighten away co-workers. Perhaps if you could match that facial expression&#8230;.</p>
