Welcome back to Toy Aisle , io9 ’s regular roundup of the cool toy and merchandise we ’ve been strain to furiously add to our Christmas wishlists this week . We ’ve get some excellent new Pacific Rim robots , the General of the Resistance herself , and even environmentally - witting Jenga . What more could you want ?
Diamond Select Pacific Rim Uprising Figures
The reality could always use more giant automaton figures , and Diamond Select is happily obliging with another band of 7″-scaled figures based on the upcoming Pacific Rim movie . The three figures making up the wave let in the sinister green Titan Redeemer , who wields a jumbo macebearer ( yes please ) ; the red - and - white Guardian Bravo , who wields an electric party whip with 16 points of articulation ( yes , please ) ; and then the mysterious Obsidian Fury , who look a lot like the honest-to-god Gipsy Danger , but with some slick updates — as project battle the other jaeger in the first trailer , with its duplicate wrist blade ( god , yes , please again ) . If we have n’t made it clear just yet , we ’re very excited for these golem to hit our shelves in June next class . [ Toy News International ]
Star Wars Admiral Ackbar Coin Bag
Do the great unwashed still post coin around rather of just dump them into the nearest fountain ? They would if they had this lovelyAdmiral Ackbar coin bagin their pocket . Made from in an elaborate way stitched faux - leather , the handbag also features a material liner with a repeating Star Wars logo pattern on the inside . If you sieve through the passel of coin on your toilet table you ’ve been hesitating to conduct around all day , you may probably easily scrounge up $ 24 in quarters and dimes to add this to your collection .

Kaiyodo Zootopia Nick Wilde Figure
Disney proved that it does n’t necessarily need Pixar ’s help to make a successful CG animated film with Zootopia . The characters might not have been as lovely or memorable as Buzz and Woody , but I ’m go to have a hard time passing up thisComplex Movie Revo Nick Wilde figure from Kaiyodo . Why ? When usable come April of next year , it will admit 14 points of articulation that make it incredibly poseable , plus three swappable facial expressions , replaceable hands , and a pair of Ray - Bans . That create it slenderly easier to cough up $ 70 for a five - inch tall figure . [ BigBadToyStoreviaToy News International ]
Hot Toys General Leia Organa
After a few really jaw - droppingly good Leia figures , Hot Toys has lastly given us a continuation - earned run average Leia and … it ’s okay , but it ’s not quite the perfect encapsulation of Carrie Fisher as its old figures were . There ’s something off about the fount — there ’s almost a little too much young Leia in it , and not enough of the stately former senator Leia has become by the time of The Last Jedi . But if you may look past some of the sculpt ’s apprehension , this is still a gorgeous physique overall , complete with Leia ’s spectacular robes , and even her trusty chargeman . She ’ll set you back $ 220 when she unblock early 2019 . Just in clock time for that Episode IX ballyhoo ! [ Sideshow Collectibles ]
Blitzway International Space Station Astronaut
We ’re usually not fans of collectible statues that take the action out of activity public figure , but Blitzway has changed our centre with itsquarter - scale ISS astronautengaged in a unremitting spacewalk . It stand up almostthree feet improbable , and the amount of detail on this statue is staggering , including functional LED lighter on the spaceman ’s place helmet . There ’s a respectable reason it will set you back almost $ 1,200 when available next June — space exploration is n’t gaudy . [ BlitzwayviaGeekAlerts ]
Jenga Ocean
Does your family have it off stacking and re - stacking wooden blocks , but deep down feel shamed that a Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree had to die just so you could have a plot night ? The makers of Jenga have team up with an administration called Bureo to createJenga Ocean , a Modern reading of the game made from 25 straight substructure of recycled charge card fishing nets . Players still heap and re - stack block , but the single monolith now face more like black dominoes , adorned with image of threatened maritime fauna life , and the $ 50 biz bring “ special edition ” rules to mix matter up , and teach players about ocean cleaning efforts .
