Because there’s a market for absolutely everything, this is a good luck Maneki-neko (“beckoning cat”) statue with a giant muscle arm. Obviously, if the luck it brings is directly proportional to the protein shakes the cat has had, you’re in for a metric ton of good luck.

Juliana Lepine makes all kinds of intricate figurines from clay, and it’s always a treat to watch her create new life out of nothing. She usually starts with a skeleton and builds the face right on top like a forensics genius.

Undertale fans, your wallets are about to get dunked on. Fangamer will be releasing official figurines based on the game’s characters with the help of toy sculptor Gijs Van Kooten. The first wave of figurines consists of the Human, Lesser Dog, Papyrus, Toriel and Sans.

Supergiant Games collaborated with We Love Fine for its first ever figurine. The limited-edition collectible is a cartoony version of Red from the developer’s hit action RPG Transistor. I haven’t finished the game yet so I think this is the first time I’ve seen Red smile.

We’ve seen Pokéball soaps and bath bombs with toys hidden inside them. Firebox came up with a similar gimmick, but with a candle and an actual, albeit, extinct animal. The Hatching Dinosaur Candle measures about 5.5″x 5.5″x 6.2″.

Last year we featured Digital Soaps’ Poke Ball soaps, which has toy Pokémon embedded inside. Etsy store Fizzy Fairy Apothecary has the same gimmick but with bath bombs, for trainers who choose fizzies. The bath bombs are available in six variants: the regular Poké Ball, Ultra Ball, Net Ball, Great Ball, Premiere Ball and Master Ball.

Like Hero Forge, Imagine 3D Miniatures’ Mounted Heroes are an upcoming customizable miniature system based on 3D printing and a user-friendly configurator. While Hero Forge has more diverse characters and more importantly is already up and running, Mounted Heroes does have an ace up its sleeve: mounts.

While pundits mull the Seahawks’ questionable decision making at the Super Bowl, the Internet is talking about Left Shark. One of Katy Perry’s dancers, Bryan Gaw made glaring mistakes at the halftime show performance, turning him into a meme within hours.

It turns out you don’t need to turn your pets into quadcopters to immortalize them. Just send Cuddle Clones a picture of your buddy and it will make a plush doll or sandstone figurine based on your beloved animal.

Bigshot Toyworks is now raising funds on Kickstarter for Four Horsies of the ‘Pocalypse. The four-figure set is the toymaker’s follow up to Maddie, its Cthulhu and My Little Pony mashup toy. The set includes Raven, the horsie of Famine, Clash, the horsie of War, Calamity, the horsie of Pestilence and Ghost, the horsie of Death.

Geeky soap specialist Digital Soaps borrowed a video game mechanic to boost its soap sales: random loot drops. The shop makes 2″ Pokéball soaps with a random Pokémon figurine hidden inside. Just like video game loot, these figurines have tiers. 

Etsy shop Geekify Inc. offers the proper start to start a Protoss toy collection: a pylon figurine. This cute copyright-infringing replica of the warrior race’s most important structure is handmade from resin and brass. Place a proxy browser near Etsy and warp in $59 (USD) to get a pylon figurine.

You can now own get a vinyl figurine of Maddie, the Cthulhu-inspired pony that Bigshot Toyworks revealed earlier this year. Like Goat Simulator, Maddie started out as a joke but was awakened from her nap time by the Internet’s adulation.

The last time we saw any geeky memorabilia for one of 2013’s best worst movies, it was as terrifying as the fact that Sharknado 2 is coming. But this? I wasn’t expecting this. Funko turned Sharknado into a Skylander with this adorable vinyl figurine.

Bethesda has released replicas of some of the Vault Boy Bobbleheads that you can collect in Fallout 3. Fortunately you won’t have to look far and wide for the figurines. Unfortunately they won’t increase your stats.

Professional sculptor Hector A. Arce mashed up Game of Thrones with SoulCalibur in this grisly stattuete. He calls it Throne of Souls, and it shows the fighting game villain sitting on a throne that’s “made up of the souls and swords of his fallen enemies.”
