When it comes to retro gaming systems, SEGA made some of my favorites, including the Master System, Genesis, and Dreamcast. Long before modern mobile devices, the Japanese video game company created one of the first full-color handhelds, the SEGA Game Gear.

A while back we found out that Funko was readying a new POP! figure based on the iconic Kool-Aid Man, but all we had was a terrible placeholder illustration of the character. Now, the actual figure is starting to turn up, and it looks awesome. The rotund kids’ drink mascot is perfect in Funko POP!

Of all the toys that you could give your kid to either terrify them or make them laugh hysterically, the jack-in-the-box is it. But this version doesn’t have the creepy clown inside, it has Deadpool inside.

Fallout fans know that the only real way to survive the wasteland is to find some power armor and profit. ThinkGeek has got you covered with their exclusive 1:1 scale Fallout T-51 Power Armor Nuka-Cola helmet.

So at this point, we all know the last Fallout game, Fallout 76, wasn’t exactly all it was cracked up to be. That doesn’t mean you can’t collect some cool stuff that you might see in the Fallout franchise games while we wait for Bethesda to do better.

The first time I saw The Shining, I was super creeped out by Jack Nicholson. It didn’t help that I was about the same age as the kid in the flick, despite the film having an “R” rating.

If you ever played Dungeons & Dragons and came up against an Illithid or the feared Mind Flayer, you know what difficulty lies in defeating the beast. You don’t have to roll a 20-sided die to capture this Mind Flayer and mount its head to your wall.

Valentine’s Day is almost here, and if you have a Fallout fan in your life, this Modern Icons #7 Fallout T-51 Power Armor Statue will look fantastic on their desk. It’s ok if your Fallout fan likes Fallout 76, they probably still deserve a gift. The statue was designed from Bethesda digital assets and looks just like the one from the game.

Do you collect toy cars, minifigs, or other small figures? Check out these awesome miniature display cases I stumbled onto which look like oversize, see-through LEGO bricks. The T-BRICK comes from Hong Kong outfit Tiny, who makes their own line of miniatures, and decided they wanted a nice way to display them.

Hugs are always a nice thing unless they come from some odd, gigantic, hairy, sweaty guy you don’t know. I’d not want a free hug from an Alien facehugger either. It may well be the last hug you ever get unless you find someone to do the deed before your chest bursts. Entertainment Earth has a cool Alien inspired Q-Fig diorama, featuring a xenomorph egg and a facehugger bursting forth with an offer of “free hugs.”

If you’re looking for a cool decoration for your desk that shows of your love for Zelda, this officially-licensed The Legend of Zelda Rupee Chest is pretty sweet. Whenever you open it you’ll feel the thrill that Link feels when discovering a treasure. 

Our pal Darth Vader is a complicated character. He starts out as an innocent boy, and then becomes a Force-juiced killing machine of pure evil, before becoming nice again on his deathbed. If Vader is one of your favorite villains, you might want to add this massive Legendary Scale Darth Vader figure to your collection. The 1/2-scale figure is very impressive, measuring in at 46″ tall.

Everything I know about hedgehogs I learned playing video games, so I am sure these facts are accurate. That means they have spiky blue hair and they can run really fast, right? If you think real life hedgehogs are cute, you will want to get hands on these hedgehog mini-figures. They are meant to dangle from the rim of your drinking glass.

I remember the first time I watched Aliens back in the day, it scared the crap out of me. I also remember the cool armored personnel carrier that the colonial marines wheeled around in. That thing had seats in the back and a big laser turret on top to blast xenomorphs. Entertainment Earth is showing off a new 1:18-scale version from Hiya Toys, and it looks awesome.

A lot of people like to use bell jars to display objects, but the Bell Jar Light from Suck UK comes with built-in lighting in its base to illuminate whatever you’re showing off inside. It is perfect for all of your geeky action figures and toys. With the light rising out from the bottom, your cherished item will actually be on display properly, shown off as it it were in your own personal museum.

Growing up, I was seriously creeped out by the original Child’s Play. The franchise got pretty cheesy after that. Once Child’s Play hit the theaters, I never looked at my brother’s My Buddy doll the same way again.
