"Set in an abandoned sawmill nestled high in the Italian mountains, Anna challenges the player to uncover horrific clues and use them to solve puzzles related to your character's dark past.

"Chariot is a humorous, physics-based couch co-op platformer in which a brave Princess and her Fiancé carry a funeral wagon through ancient caves, fending off swarms of looters while amassing riches, to bury the King's remains in a worthy, gold-filled tomb. If only his majesty would keep quietŠ The chariot's large wheels and long tethers allow the heroes to reach higher ground, swing across chasms and perform all sorts of impressive maneuvers. Extract riches from the very walls of the caves in multiple environments, and make your way to the exit by avoiding ­ or beating back ­ greedy looters as they attempt to steal your hard-earned loot! With skill-testing coordination mechanics and thrilling physics-based stunts required, Chariot will definitely please couch co-op enthusiasts as teamwork and cooperation unlock new possibilities."

She's a real doll... in figure form.

When a chain of similarly named eateries showed up, I was upset to find out they were indeed not David Lynch theme diners - but this Frost-written, Lynch-directed, Showtime-airing sequel series is certainly good news for people over, let's say, about 30.

With few big-deal top-tier women in their catalog (that they own for movie purposes, anyway) the comic book gets to act as an incubator for future franchises - if this takes off, a movie in the next few years is almost without question. The bigger question - where's the action figure?

For the price, you're going to love it. The Jakks Pacific World of Nintendo Skyward Sword Link Action Figure is pretty great for ten bucks, I've only seen a few so far in the wild. He's about as nicely jointed as a good Hasbro figure, with a few looser joints and a couple of interesting new ways to execute articulation - in particular, the feet. Read on and come back Monday for more!

More next week? Maybe! I'm pretty tired from a couple of big days at various offices so we'll see.

Names and pictures are your reward on a new character page, showcasing 13 characters - that's a bunch! Each 3 3/4-inch Glyos-compatible figure is... well, we don't know. There are no prices or pre-order dates, so it's anybody's guess. I'd say expect to get the first figures in 2015, unless they go Kickstarter as we have read elsewhere, in which case maybe 2016.

--AP

Each flavor is $25 and you get black, "toxic spill" (more of a yellow than a green, it's gorgeous), and purple right now. Shipping is about six bones, so go in and split it with a friend or order a couple of sets. I have four flavors myself, and I can tell you that Toxic Spill is unquestionably the best for your dark colored Decepticons.

This is a much better figure than I would have expected. The Funko Nightmare Before Christmas Sally ReAction Figure is good, but you can also say it's great. A spoon with holes in it mimics the movie perfectly. Her pose is good. Her hands can hold her two (TWO) accessories. She's colorful, and just off-model enough to be interesting. I think Funko hit this one out of the park. Read on and come back Monday for more!

Happy Halloweek! We're celebrating with a look at 5 of Funko's new Universal Monster ReAction Figures. Today is the Funko Universal Monsters Creature from the Black Lagoon - and it's pretty much as good as you could possibly hope for. It's sparsely painted, but sculpted slightly better than you might expect for a clone of a 1980 action figure. I still love it, and it's cheaper than dropping $100 for a carded Remco original at the not-so-local record/pawn place. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

15 items went on sale, three of which are gone as of my writing this - both Skeleboth figures are long gone.

--AP

Shipping within the USA is free on this item - so go ahead pre-order it, or don't. Someone else will get it instead.

--AP

The November 15 date is tentative, so watch this or some other, better space for more information as it happens.

--AP

These one-of-a-kind customs are oversized and the production figures will be 3 3/4-inch scale. If you want a piece of toy history, these are pretty fancy. With pants to match.

Retro! The Funko Universal Monsters Phantom of the Opera ReAction Figure is a bout 22% better than it needs to be - you get an authentic 1970s vinyl cape, but the face deco is way too good for the supposed time. This is something for us nitpickers, everybody else is going to adore it. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!

TheThis Combat Creatures figure comes in colored sandstone so far, with more color and variety in design than most of the others. Note an added radioactive symbol on his left gauntlet.

Howlingly good! The Funko Universal Monsters The Wolf Man ReAction Figure is a nifty take on the classic werewolf movie monster, with a sculpt that looks like it would've been at home around the very first Return of the Jedi action figures. This is why you pre-order. So read on and come back tomorrow for more!

--AP

These Cosmic Warriors of the Ninth Galaxy are 5 1/2-inches tall and start at about $33 a pop. They're a lot like the original He-Man Masters of the Universe action figure line. As it's about 10% funded, it actually does need your support if you want a piece of this action - I'd suggest giving it a look, if for no other reason to see what "Captain Wolfmoon" might look like.
