Make It So

Star Trek‘s Gates McFadden Has a Tumblr Full of Pictures of Her Action Figure Doing Stuff

by Susana Polo | 3:29 pm, March 19th, 2013

Thanks to her “space son,” Wil Wheaton, the internet is now privy to the fact that the Ensemble Studio Theatre of Los Angeles’ Tumblr is, so far, entirely populated by cute pictures of a 1/8 size action figure of Dr. Beverly Crusher, Gates McFadden‘s character on Star Trek: The Next Generation. McFadden has been artistic director of the theater since 2008, but here’s what her action figure gets up to while she’s on the job.

Jem’s Holograms Get New Collectible Dolls From Hasbro

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:34 pm, February 5th, 2013

When we first posted the new collectible Jem dolls from Hasbro and Integrity Toys, many (myself included) wondered when we’d see Shana, Aja, and Kimber. The wait is over, Series 2 features Jem’s Holograms in all their bright-haired glory! I am now hotly anticipating Series 3, which I can only guess will be the evil band and Jem adversaries, The Misfits. I wonder what Christy Marx, Jem creator and current DC Comics writer, thinks of the comeback?

Can Jem and the Holograms Make A Truly Outrageous Comeback With New Dolls From Hasbro?

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:30 pm, October 23rd, 2012

Jem, the larger, cooler Barbie. At least to me she was. That’s why I’m so excited for this news. Hasbro has made a deal with Integrity Toys for a modern day line of Jem and the Hologram dolls. “Inspired by the TRULY OUTRAGEOUS characters created by Hasbro over two decades ago and cherished by fans and collectors alike ever since, this nostalgic retro doll line is designed to pay homage to both the animated series and its original companion doll line, which was originally marketed from 1985 to 1987,” writes Integrity. Each doll will set you back $125 and they’ll start shipping next month. Take a look at Jerrica Benton, her alter-ego Jem, Synergy, and good ol’ purple-haired Rio (more to come down the road).

Clean Out Those Display Cases: Avengers Black Widow Statue Announced

by Kellie Foxx-Gonzalez | 3:32 pm, June 15th, 2012

Remember that eerily realistic Loki statue from Hot Toys? Well, we were wondering when they’d announce a Black Widow statue — it turns out it is hitting the market soon and I couldn’t be more pleased with the representation of Avengers actress Scarlett Johansson’s “kicking ass and taking names” face. Hit the jump for more detailed images (and super cool poses!).

It’s Star Trek Versus Star Wars Again, But This Time, It’s the Next Generation [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 11:27 am, February 5th, 2012

The battle of Star Wars Vs. Trek rages on, but it’s not original cast members Carrie Fisher and William Shatner throwing barbs this time. It’s action figures. BBC TV host Graham Norton had Liam Neeson (who played Qui-Gon Jinn in Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace) and Patrick Stewart (Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation) on his show, and thought it might be fun to have their respective action figures settle the score. And then he brought out both figures, and it was clear who might be the victor here.

College Professor-Slash-Action Figure Geek Turns Colleagues Into Heroes

by Jamie Frevele | 2:31 pm, July 4th, 2011

In the midst of a slew of movie releases for classic fictional superheroes and all the merchandising that comes with them, have any of us stopped to think about the real heroes in our lives who might deserve their own action figures? Maybe those who inspired us and encouraged us academically? The University of the Ozarks in Arkansas did, and one professor — Dr. Jesse Weiss — had a bunch of action figures created for his colleagues. And that’s why he is going to be the coolest guy in the faculty lounge.

The Star Trek Porn Without the Porn As Told By Action Figures [SFW Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 4:00 pm, May 22nd, 2011

People are saying that the Star Trek porn movie that just came out would actually make a fairly decent stand alone episode of the show — if not for all that pesky porn stuff in it. So someone made a non-pornographic version of the porn with action figures. Part 2 appears after the jump, and they are both SFW.
