Okay, I’m gonna go on record here as a Mom and say this upcoming toy is sure to bring destruction to all the fancy things in your house. But as a fan of The Batman who cannot wait for The Dark Knight Rises to hit theaters, will someone please buy this for me? It’s cool because it has a little hidden compartment but it’s awesome because you can push a button and shoot Batman right out of that compartment and into a lamp or a precious Ming vase. Yeah, the fan in me is so going to win this one.

Season Two of The Walking Dead is over and I have so many questions. What’s that big shadowy building in the distance? Will it mean they’re safe now or will it spell certain doom? Will Lori ever figure out a way to keep track of Carl? We all know the answer to that last one is probably no, but while you wonder about the rest of those questions you can act out your own version of the show with these figures. You’ll get Rick, Shane, RV Zombie, Well Zombie and Bicycle Girl Zombie. These figures aren’t out just yet, but preorder now and you’ll have all the braiiiiins you can eat this summer.

If you can manage to capture a couple of decent pictures of yourself and upload them to Firebox, you can have a personalized superhero action figure made in as little as three weeks. They’ll create a 3D printed version of your head that you can pop on the body of standard figures of Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Batgirl or The Joker.

Naturally, the head will also work with other figures you can find—just as long as they are proportional. Check out additional examples after the break.
