Kidrobot just unveiled a new Munny-like vinyl toy named Trikky that looks like a cat. No word on pricing yet, but hopefully it won’t be any more than Munny.

The Happy Fish vinyl toy by PEZ

October 7, 2009 @ 6:14 pm

Nukod teamed up with PEZ to produce this vinyl toy version of his delightful character called the Happy Fish.

There will only be about 450 made and each one is selling for about $67 USD. I sort of want one to put on my desk.

Just a heads up that Target.com has the 12″ Buzz Lightyear Toy Story replica toy for $50 rather than the suggested retail price of $65.

The Ultimate Buzz Lightyear

I’m always up for new developments in the Toy Story line of toys and here is one that I’ve never posted about before (although I’m sure to most of you, all of my Buzz Lightyear toy posts sound the same). This here is the Ultimate Buzz Lightyear, a roughly $130-$150 toy coming this Fall to Toys R Us, Walmart, Target, and the Disney online store. It measures 16″ in height making it one of the largest Buzz Lightyear toys on the market and only slightly taller than actual movie size (movie-size is said to be about 12″).

The Ultimate Buzz Lightyear is actually a fairly advanced remote-controlled robot that responds to people. It is programmable via remote control to move its hands head, arms, and legs and it features multiple smart-sensors for sound and motion detection.

If you want to see the somewhat odd Photoshop’d image above in hi-res, click here.

Here’s a video of the Ultimate Buzz Lightyear in action.

Thomas The Tank Engine as Voltron

It looks like a Chinese toy manufacturer has fused the lives of Thomas The Tank Engine (and his friends) with the 5 lions from the Voltron force and created this odd Thomas The Tank Engine Voltron toy. [via]

The 3 tank engines split into 5 parts and create the head, body, arms and legs of the robot just like Voltron (albeit a bit sillier looking).

Anyway, a Japanese individual has gotten his hands on this toy set and has graciously posted many photos for us to look at (translated page here).
