io9's regular round of the shiniest plastic tempting our wallet on the internet is called Toy Aisle. This week, Steven Grant gets his time to shine with the latest reveal of the comic book character, The Batman, as well as a new TMNT Turtle Van from NECA. Check it out!
Robert Pattinson brought his messy makeup to play Batman. The scaled figure includes a wired cape, alternate posing hands, a Batarang, and a few gadgets. He will be released in Japan in August. The TNI is related.
After teasing last week that the standard Moon Knight costume from the Disney+ streaming series was on its way, just in time for its appearance in episode two, Hasbro has confirmed that Mr. Knight is the persona Steven Grant adopts when given access to. Including a set of alternate grabbing hands and two billy clubs, the 6 scale figure is set to arrive in the same wave as the standard Moon Knight from the series. Toyark
Did we already see a giant-scale version of the Ninja Turtles? Kind of. In November, Super7 revealed its 20-inch long, $450 Ultimates!-scale Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Party Wagon van based on the toy released as part of the original Playmates toy line. The Turtle Van is the vehicle that appeared in the classic TMNT animated series. You will probably want to add this one to your retro collection because it is very distinct and similar to the other one. Nostalgia isn't cheap, but hopefully we'll get more information from NECA so we can convince ourselves we need it.
We don't have a lot of Nendoroids in here, but we had one that was very cute. Good Smile has a lot of lovely features, including a swap-out inner mouth for some very scary action poses. Is it the best of all? The figure comes with a blood-spattered chestburster that you clip on at the neck of any other Nendoroid figure. The Big Chap will be released in January of 2023. Toyark
To celebrate the 90th anniversary of Lego, the company created a new set with 1,100 pieces that can be used to build miniature versions of classic Lego pieces. There are Lego versions of space ships, a police station, Duplo figures, a castle, and even a wooden duck Lego pull toy. We've waited 90 years for the $50 set, but it won't be available until May 1.
