12-Inch Trifecta: Basterds, G.I. Joe and Disney


It seems like today’s another slow news day, so I’m sure I’ll regret lumping these together, but… whatever.

? Toys R Evil has full-body pics of Hot Toys’ Aldo Raine figure from Inglourious Basterds. It’s absurd. Just utterly absurd.

?? Sideshow’s next 12-inch G.I. Joe collector’s figure? Flint. As you can see, pre-orders begin on January 28th. He looks good, but do you ever think other 12-inch toy sculptors look at Hot Toys’ work and then hang themselves? I don’t know that I could handle it.

?? I’m not a fan of Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, but I’ve always thought that Maleficent was one of the best screen villains of all time. Her look — her name! — is just awesome, so I’m excited that Sideshow is doing a premium format figure. Yes, that means that she’s well over 12-inches (22, to be exact) and isn’t poseable, meaning I lied, but c’mon, I’ve done far worse to you guys. Plus, she does have a real cloth outfit, which is very similar to a 12-inch toy, right? I’ll quit now. (Via ToyNewsI)
