Lego Officially Announces 'Doctor Who' Set

Not a final product image, but fantastic nonetheless!

In recent years, especially with 2014's "The Lego Movie," the plastic blocks have been wildly popular. While I have personally never been a fan of them, nor understood the craze, as a Whovian, I may have to look into what the fuss has been about.

Lego recently announced the winning results of their Lego Ideas judging and will be producing their first ever "Doctor Who" set. The "Doctor Who and Companions" set will feature the TARDIS and various Doctors, along with companions, in minifigure Lego form. But what would any hero be without a villain or two to fight? Fear not, the set will also include some of the Doctors worst enemies; including Cybermen, Weeping Angels and, of course, the Daleks.

The set has just left the judging table, so as of now, final designs and a release date are unknown. Keep checking back here for all the latest Lego info!

McFarlane Toys unveils 'Walking Dead' Michonne statue

Pay attention, serious toy collectors and fans of The Walking Dead. Todd McFarlane and his McFarlane Toys, and Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman have collaborated and created a statue of fan-fave Michonne that kicks as much ass as she does.

Thanks to an announcement over at MTV Geek we learned that this exclusive piece "...is approximately 14.5 inches high with a base that rotates 360 degrees, and features Michonne throwing down on a couple of Walkers, with gruesome detail from every angle. The suggested retail price is $295.00, and there will only be 1,500 pieces made."

Kirkman gave MTV Geek a phone interview and revealed "It's a collaboration between myself and Todd McFarlane and McFarlane Toys. I’d been in discussions with McFarlane about doing the statue, and I said, ‘I really want to do something that pushes the envelope’."

He added:

Dark Horse unleashes hell with 'Game of Thrones' Tyrion bust

What to do when there are brave men knocking on your castle door? You go kill them! That is, if you're Tyrion Lannister. But if you're a collector, you answer the knock on the door and hope it's the mailman delivering this awesome Tyrion collectible.

After all, one of the most memorable episodes of last season's HBO hit series Game of Thrones was the "Blackwater" episode. Tyrion Lannister (portrayed by Peter Dinklage) stepped up and led the battle to protect King's Landing from his uncle, Stannis Baratheon, after King Joffrey's cowardly retreat.

Now, Dark Horse Deluxe's line of Game of Thrones collectibles is highly sought after and when deciding on this bust, the writers/producers of the show were consulted. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss chose this unforgettable scene and according to the press release, "They further assisted with special photographic reference taken during filming, expressly for use as sculpture reference for the piece."

Extreme attention to detail make this (approximately) 10x 9.5 inch, hand-painted figurine one that collectors will no doubt appreciate. The numbered piece is only being offered for advance order and is a limited run. It will also be packaged in a deluxe full-color box. They don't plan on having them in stores until Feb, 20, 2013 and the suggested retail price is $199.99. Just in time for Season three of Game of Thrones!

We wonder if we'll see this little guy on a future episode of Syfy's Collection Intervention?
