Awesome Collectibles

Didn’t get what you wanted for Christmas? True Jedi Masters won’t settle for anything less than this life-sized R2-D2, complete with retaining bolt, lights and sounds. Limited to 250.

There aren’t just any playing cards: they’re by the Black Rock Collective, a group of 36 international artists. The first batch of 150 sold out in a day, so be sure to get on their mailing list.

Do want, please: the Street Fighter IV Collector’s Edition includes a limited edition figure (Ryu/PS3; C. Viper/360), an anime movie (Blu-ray/PS3, game disc/360) and CD soundtrack.

An affordable version of The Unnatural Selector, Dr. Grordbort’s Wave Disrupter only measures 3″ yet shows an amazing amount of detail; it’s limited to a run of 900 pieces.

This meticulously detailed 1:4 Blackbeard Premium Format figure not only stands 20″ tall, but is packing some serious weaponry, with seven pistols, a bloodied cutlass and a 10″ cannon.

Cooler Master’s limited edition Black Label includes one laser-etched Cosmos chassis, a Hyper Z600 cooler and your choice of 700W or 850W PSU; all colored black, of course.

Huck Gee is dropping an extremely limited run of 10 hand-painted Thundersticks figures on 12/12 at their eBay store; he’s decked out in body armor with two cleavers and a spiked flail.

And a million fans cried out in joy: eFx Collectibles’ 23″ long X-Wing is based on the original miniature, with S-foils that open and close and Luke Skywalker in the cockpit. Thanks, Pek!

Bats, skulls, spiders and a wicked deck: Skate Bat has got it all, so it’s too bad this 7″ figure is limited to only five pieces. However, a second colorway is planned for Spring 2009.

Dalek has just dropped a hot black colorway for his famous Teddy Troops line over at adFunture; nothing but love for the two sets of sharp teeth, blood splatters and glowing red eyes.

Our Japanese counterparts always seem to get the best collector’s editions, and this one for Resident Evil 5 is no different; it comes with a USB drive disguised as a T-virus vial.

We’ve had our beady eyes (and pointy ears) on this Star Trek Mark IX Tricorder for awhile; it’ll finally be available in December. In the meantime, check out the early video review above.

Part Wolverine and part Creature from the Black Lagoon, “Midnight Snack” Muraida is clad in a black colorway with 6 articulation points; it’s limited to 200 pieces and goes on sale 11/28 here.

If you liked his steel-tipped markers, Krink is releasing a special pair of Nike Air Force 1s 11/29; it features his signature dripping ink stripes as well as a handmade silver marker.

Damien Hirst’s art usually requires an 8 figure salary, but these Levi’s jeans are relatively affordable at $240; they come with Hirst buttons on the fly and skull embroidery on the back.

Distiling an entire culture into caricatures is no small task, but “Gaijin” Peter Machat’s 51 Japanese Characters collectible postcards have done just that: they’re limited to 500 pieces.

Though we’ve seen Master Chief figs in the past, this Halo 3 Legendary Collection statue is our favorite, if only for the inclusion of infection form Floods cleverly “levitated” from the base.

A three-way collab between Gravis, In4mation and Diamond Supply, the Trekker Bag is now available; this cavernous bag is still small enough for carry-ons and sports Diamond-branded wheels.

CoolerMaster is banking on the collectibles market with their limited “Black” edition Cosmos cases, due out on 12/11 with a black paint job, tinted side panel and improved cooling.

Available November 24th, Tokyoplastic’s Koguma vinyl features a swiveling high-tech chair and a tubby bear soakin’ up tunes; it’ll come in both red and super limited white colorways.

Designed by legendary artist Michael Lau (check out his Kubrick figures here), Juno x Soft Hard is commemorative set based off Hong Kong celeb Juno Mak’s “Lam Man Lung” music video.

We’re having a hard time choosing just one of these three Batman Uni-Formz urban vinyls; thankfully, you can get ’em in a limited-run “Statues Case” that includes six of the 8″ figures.

As if the regular Dark Knight Blu-ray version wasn’t compelling enough, this two-disc limited edition set is available 12/9 and comes with a Bat Pod and display stand: daddy wants.
