The Toys Asia’s life-size statue Iron Man’s Mk. 43 armor opens up to reveal, well, sadly not enough space for a man. It still looks amazing though. It takes 46 motors and 28 seconds for the armor to open up. The statue is limited to 50 units and costs… cough… over $370,000.

“You may fire when ready.” Hot Toys shows why it’s one of the best toymakers in the business with this incredible likeness of Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin from Star Wars: A New Hope. The 12″ action figure comes with a high-back chair and three pairs of hands.

Tearribles are dog toys that your dogs can tear apart over and over again. Their limbs and tails or eyes are attached to the body via hook and loop strips, so you can easily put them back together. They’re made of tough plush and mesh to resist holes and tears.
Steel weapons are badass, but they’re not safe or kid-friendly, and they could get you in trouble at conventions or other public places. Foam swords are cheaper to make and easier to shape, but how do you make them rigid? Odin Makes has one answer: graphite golf clubs.
Mere mortals can’t own a P1, but at least your kid can get a little closer to McLaren’s supercar. This officially licensed ride on car can also be operated with a remote control. It has kickass vertical doors, LED lights, a fan, and even an MP3 player.

The Museum of Working Miniatures is jampacked with tiny versions of stuff. One of our favorites has to be this miniature model train set which actually works. It cheats by using electromagnets instead of wheels to move the railcars around the track.

To the Batpoles! This awesome 20″ tall replica of the Shakespeare bust from the 1966 Batman TV series doubles as a coin bank. Like the prop, the coin slot (along with the customary dial and button) is hidden inside the bust’s neck. See it unboxed on video here.
This summer’s hit Spider-Man flick gets the Funko POP! treatment with big-head versions of Spidey in his homemade suit, his upgraded suit, with headphones, and as plain old Peter Parker. There’s also a cool winged Vulture, and a bespectacled Tony Stark in his kitty shirt.
