What Do Iron Man 3, Breaking Bad, And The Avengers Have In Common? LEGO [Video]

by Amy Ratcliffe on May 2, 2013

As long as the world keeps spinning, people will keep doing awesome things with Lego bricks. Those little toys go a long way; heck, Lego is a subculture. That’s proven by the insane amount of builds and videos that hit the internet in a day. We’ve got three worthwhile videos full of the toys to share with you.

First, there’s a sneak peek at the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game. It’s short but it looks freaking fantastic. Staying in the Marvel universe, the next video is a fan made stop motion Lego version of an Iron Man 3 trailer. Tony Stark is badass even as a blocky minifig. Finally, for something completely different, a fan has imagined Breaking Bad as a Lego video game. The sets might be the best part.

Check out all the Lego goodness after the break.

Breaking Bad Bath Salts Will Help You Relax Legally

by Amy Ratcliffe on April 19, 2013

Combining the words Breaking Bad and crystals doesn’t usually mean anything good, but these bath salts are completely legal and also pretty genius. Bathing Bad, sold by Firebox, is made from all natural products in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Dump the salts in your bath, take a deep breath, and relax.

Breaking Bad Inspired LEGO Minifig

by Amy Ratcliffe on January 24, 2013

There are always going to be minifigs and sets that Lego won’t make because they aren’t kid-friendly. It may not seem fair to the large adult market, but the target demographic is children. Luckily there are companies like Citizen Brick that cater to us.

We are a little company in Chicago that makes short run “Lego compatible toys” and we print directly on Lego pieces, creating a whole “Legoland” that is not so family friendly. We think of it as “daring to go where Lego won’t.”

As an example of that statement, their latest minifig was inspired by Breaking Bad. The Chemistry Enthusiast is pictured above and bears a striking resemblance to Walter White – it’s awesome.

Check out another new figure “Stick Up Enthusiast” after the break.

Someone’s Finally Making “Breaking Bad” Toys

by Amy Ratcliffe on December 21, 2012

How would you like to have a meth lab playset and a Walter White action figure to go with it? Well, since you’ve been good you might get that very thing. Mezco Toyz has recently announced that they are making collectibles from Breaking Bad:

From the moment I watched the first episode, I knew that Mezco Toyz should be making collectibles for this series. Mezco’s award winning Design Team is working around the clock, watching episodes and designing product. We are truly capturing the spirit of Breaking Bad and turning it into collectibles that both hardcore fans and casual viewers will enjoy.

“Truly capturing the spirit” when it comes to this TV show could lead to interesting results. Maybe we’ll get plush toys or something like this.

They’ll be revealing the toys at their site and at Toy Fair 2013.

Breaking Ned Says “I Am The Ding-Dang-Diddly Danger!”

by Nicole Wakelin on October 4, 2012

New Zealand artist AKADoom has done a hilarious mash-up with Ned Flanders from The Simpsons and Walter White from Breaking Bad. Honestly, I think Ned and his Ding-Dang-Diddly is the scarier of the two. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll stay out of his way.

Artist Trevor Groves Sculpts Incredible Walter White Figures And Gives Them To Breaking Bad Creator Vince Gilligan

by Amy Ratcliffe on October 1, 2012

It’s always a bummer when your favorite television shows don’t have action figures. Some fans, however, are talented enough to do something about it. Amazing sculptor Trevor Groves – who works for Sideshow Collectibles – likes Breaking Bad and Walter White. He didn’t just sculpt one version of the character either; he made three custom action figures. He sculpted the heads and scavenged the rest of the bodies and clothes from the internet.

He posted pictures on DeviantArt and one of the writing assistants on the series saw them and contacted him to say thanks. Grove wanted to give the figures to Vince Gilligan and he got to do so in March. So cool.

Check out more photos of the figures after the break!
