Spider-Man Traffic Light

I read 4-5 toy magazines each month and subscribe to the RSS feeds of pretty much every action figure/superhero toy website I can find. And yet, occasionally things slip past me until I see something in the store and think a) who the hell thought that would be a good idea, and b) I must have it.

This happened to me over the weekend when I found this on clearance at Wal-Mart,

Yes, boys and girls, that’s a Spider-Man Traffic Light. Seriously. That’s almost as cool as the Batman Jewelry Box that, sadly, I did not pick up when I had the chance.

By Grabthar’s Hammer, Someone Needs to Make This Action Figure

My wife is totally in love with Alan Rickman, so when I showed her this Dr. Lazarus custom figure that Toyfare featured in their September 2008 issue I thought she was going to swoon. It turns out that IDW is going to be publishing a Galaxy Quest comic beginning in August. The figure, by the way, is done by Kyle Robinson who does some of the best custom figures I’ve ever seen.
