(Alternate groan-inducing pun-filled titles: “Cuteness is Coming”, “The Night Is Small and Full of Cute”) Funko just sent over some images of their new Game of Thrones Mystery Minis. Standing 2.5 inches tall, each of these figures packs a lot of cuteness in their small stature. There are twenty-four to collect, and it looks like each is blindpacked. Also, there are super-rare and glowing chase versions to hunt for. Man. Funko really knows how to get you right in your wallet heart with these things…. Rarity Scale:

Well, this review is part of the Toy Review Advent Calendar, and I love Transformers, so of course I would pick a Transformer with a holiday theme. No, I didn’t choose a robot from any of the Marvel UK comics Christmas issues — I speak of course, of the bot that brings gifts to all girls and boys — Wreck-Gar! You don’t believe me? Oh, do you not remember “Transformers: Animated”? Wreck-Gar decided to play the part of Santa Claus and deliver garbage to all the kids in the episode “Human Error” Well, his spark is in the right place, at

Most of you hadn’t heard of BMOG Toys until their Kickstarter went live last week. If you still are unaware, BMOG Toys is a new project headed by Trent Troop, Alex Androski, and Greg Sepelak, and the goal is to provide 5mm peg compatible accessories for a variety of toylines. These accessories are animals that are made entirely out of individual weapons, meaning you get weapons for your existing toys as well as a new animal toy. It’s awesome. You should back it. As I said, most of you hadn’t heard of BMOG until recently. So let’s step behind the
