The Week's Best Toys Are Ready for Battle and Sinister Facial Hair

By

io9's regular round up of the latest and greatest in nerd toys and merchandise is called Toy Aisle. This week, Hawkeye is looking for some action figure goodness. Lego heads to the Clone Wars and to the Multiverse in two new sets, and NECA does two slick takes on the movie. Check it out!

Lego Doctor Strange is in a movie.

The first look at Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which is scheduled for a May 6 release next year, has been given by Lego. America Chavez, who joins minifigures of Doctor Strange and Wong, is the first look at the Lego version of the sea creature Gargantos. The set will be available for $30 on January 1, 2022.

The Ultimate Battle-DamagedRoboCop with Chair and Ultimate RoboCop Figures are from the same company.

The 35th anniversary of the original RoboCop movie will be celebrated with a pair of 7-inch figures that will be available from April of next year. The figure-only version will probably be the cheaper option, with gleaming armor, an alternate head featuring Peter Weller's likeness, and a Cobra assault Cannon that can be stored in a working leg holster. The more expensive option includes all the same features and accessories, plus battle-damaged armor and a chair where RoboCop would eat baby food.

Kate Bishop and Clint Barton are from the comic books.

With Hawkeye now streaming on Disney+, we have an early look at the inevitable action figures from the show, starting off with Hawkeye! And Hawkeye! Clint and Kate will lead the charge for figures from the series, and both will come with a bow, quiver, and alternate hands for either fisticuffs or bow-aiming. There were no details on the figures beyond early renders, other than that fans can expect the Avenging Archers to take aim at your wallet in 2022. Why doesn't Lucky the Pizza dog come with one of them?

Lego Headz Ahsoka Tano.

Ahsoka Tano has developed a following among Star Wars fans, and it was only a matter of time before she appeared in a live-action movie. The new Lego set will not be available until January 1, 2022, but you can check it out on the site right now.

The Star Trek Mirror Universe Spock figure is sixth scale.

Leonard Nimoy helped perpetuate the "Beard of Evil" by sporting a goatee while playing the corrupt mirror universe version of Lieutenant Commander Spock in Star Trek: The Original Series. The first mirror universe Star Trek figure will be introduced next year by the company, and features a goatee, a full uniform, and swappable hands. Pricing and a specific release date are not known at this time.

A Canon Bear with a Canon 5D Mark IV model camera.

If you have a photographer in your life who needs a hug as Sony slowly eats away at the market share of longstanding camera makers like Canon, then you should. The latter has created an adorable 8-inch tall plush companion who comes not only dressed for an afternoon of sports photography with a vest, but also an impressively detailed miniature replica of a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR with a 24-70mm lens and a matching Canon EOS strap around its neck. If you were hoping to inspire a future shutterbug with it, it is not recommended for kids under 14.

Lego architecture in Singapore

International travel has become less and less appealing due to the covid-19 Pandemic, but most of us have stopped going to our local hangouts. If you want to visit an exotic locale without first getting a cotton swab jabbed up your nose, Lego has updated its Architecture series with a new 827-piece set celebrating the city of Singapore. The set will cost $60 on January 1, 2022.
