LEGO’s take on the classic marble maze game Labyrinth. Conceptualized by LEGO enthusiast Jason Allemann aka JKBrickworks, the set lets you create your own mazes, which you can easily swap over its tip and tilt base. Drops 4/1/16 for $70.

Pop artist Jason Freeny adds to his humorous line of anatomical toys. The 4″ Bathing Ducky has half of its bones and organs, which you can detach to play with. The 8″ Balloon Dog on the other hand has its whole skeleton and organs, all of which are also detachable.

Presenting, the equally big brother of Codename: Colossus. Machination Studio’s HMC Galahad has 18 servos, a smoke machine for its exhaust, working searchlights and 33 guns, including a huge main cannon that fires ping pong balls.

One of the cooler toys to turn up at the 2016 New York Toy Fair, Tyco’s nw remote-controlled Terra Climber has pairs of grippy wheels that rotate on pivot points, which work along with a tail-like appendage, allowing it to climb stairs.

LEGO built a toy empire with its snap-on bricks, but it’s far from the first company that thought of making such a toy. In fact, as YouTuber JANGBRiCKS explains, the first LEGO bricks were straight up copycats, down to the machine that was used to make the toy.

Based in Winona, Minnesota, the Pillbox Bat Company makes solid maple baseball bats with hand-painted or hand-burned retro graphics. They’re beautiful enough to display but sturdy enough for casual games.

The ultimate NERF accessory for kids (or really small adults), the pedal-powered Hauck NERF Battle Racer has placeholder brackets for up to four blasters and tons of darts, and lets kids take down their foes while in motion.

These colorful little quadcopters are the perfect indoor timekillers. They’re small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and take flight as soon as you toss them in the air. Flight time is about 5-8 minutes per charge.

Threezero’s sixth scale T-45 is one of the most mouth-watering action figures we’ve ever seen. It stands 14.5″ tall and comes with a laser rifle. You’ll be able to swap the armor pieces between this and future Power Armor figures. Drops 1/28/16 for $380+.

Wonderfully illustrated paper models of classic warplanes that not only look cool, they actually glide. The bi-planes are great, but we’re suckers for the bent-winged Chance Vought F4U-4 Corsair. To be honest, after all the work it takes to build one, we’d be afraid to toss ours.

For the price of a real Jeep beater, Capo will give you an extremely realistic Wrangler scale model. For instance, it has working disc brakes and multi-link suspension. Here’s the kicker: it doesn’t come with the electronic components needed to make it run.

One of the most awesome looking RC cars we’ve ever laid eyes on, Tamiya’s replica of the classic Land Cruiser features a fully-articulated suspension, 4WD, and fat tires. It’s a complex kit, and you’ll need to BYO controller, radios, speed controller and battery pack.

Oskar van Deventer’s Fractal Jigsaw is a blank laser-cut jigsaw puzzle based on a fractal called the Dragon curve. It’s made of only 11 large pieces, but once you snap them into place they blend with each other so well that you won’t be able to tell them apart.

ABStract’s proposal for a mid-sized LEGO Concorde. It’s 31″ long and has an adjustable nose. It also comes with mobile ladders and a model of the plane’s engine. Check ABStract’s Updates tab for the latest mockups. 개인창작 made the physical prototype.

Mattel’s hilariously offbeat kid’s toy is a motorized car that’s steered by the movements of a cricket placed inside its cockpit-slash-bug-apartment. We’re guessing whoever came up with this was just as high as the person who directed the commercial.

Dude Perfect show that they’re more than just trick shots, as they put a variety of awesome R/C cars and trucks from Traxxas to the test, including a tricky obstacle course, crazy roof jumps, and highlighted by an amazing hydroplaning run and a ridiculous long jump.

A smaller version of the off-roading remote controlled Wienermobile. The Mini Wiener Rover goes up to 30mph and has room for two hot dogs in its 22.5″ long and 11″ tall body. Oscar Mayer is selling only 15 units a day on Twitter until 12/4/15.

We’re cautiously optimistic about Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, but whatever happens at least we got this cool take on the Frank Miller Batman costume. Medicom also made a MAFEX Superman figure, but it’s got a face only a collector would love.

The NERF Rival Zeus’ magazine normally holds 12 balls, but YouTuber Out of Darts made it so his Zeus could hold up to 108 balls. He made a custom magazine that has a blower to push the balls. He’s also working on a backpack loader that can hold thousands of the ammo.

We got our grubby little mitts on one of the awesome Parrot MiniDrones. We had a tough time choosing between the flying, seafaring or roller drones, but we went with Jett. This fast-moving two-wheeler can spin like crazy and jump in the air, all while recording POV video.

Hot Toys lives up to its reputation for detail and precision with this 1/6th-scale collectible figure of The Force Awakens’ amazon woman First Order trooper, sporting her shiny, well-worn armor, and black cape. This might be our favorite Star Wars action figure ever.

A proposal for a LEGO model of the legendary Land Rover Series III by LEGO Ideas member Dadandlad. It has opening doors and bonnet, a removable hard top and a detailed engine that’s also removable. Even Land Rover itself is impressed.

It’s not the fridge you need, nor the one you deserve. Haier’s officially licensed life-size R2-D2 scale model zips around via remote control, has a hidden mini refrigerator with room for six cans, and emits Artoo’s lights and sounds.
