For Comic Book Fans

Guardians of the Galaxy Bluray

This one is pretty self explanatory, but here’s the explanation anyway- Marvel’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ was easily the biggest movie of the year, both in and out of the usual geek circles. This movie is about a bunch of space outlaws and ‘losers’ coming together to help save the galaxy for the greater good! It’s going to be at the top of almost everyone’s wish list this year, so don’t wait too long to pick up your copy!

Even better, it has a 12v DC power source, so it’s able to be taken on the road with you for when you go trekking across the universe!

For Power Rangers Fans

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Figuarts

Back in the early 90’s, children wer given two major options for their power rangers toys. Either the smaller 5” figures with fliphead ‘morphin’ ability, or taller 8” figures with decent articulation but terrible everything else. Bandai is finally making up for that with the release of the new S.H. Figuarts Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures! You can get each and every one of the classic Power Rangers in this new 6” figure format with super articulation for amazing poseability and highly detailed weapons and paint applications! They even come with alternate hands so you can pose them and be ready for anything! These are disappearing quickly with some already going for double their original retail price on the secondary market, so it’s better to pick these up before that monster value grows!

Green and White Ranger Legacy Morpher

Wow. A Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Power Morpher. Let alone the GREEN Ranger’s Morpher. He was the coolest one (Opinion, or fact? You decide!). In the early 90’s, this thing was every kids dream. Now, you can make that dream a reality, with the titanium plated Power Rangers Legacy Mighty Morphin Green & White Ranger Legacy Morpher! This piece is a replica of the original Power Morpher used on the series by the Green and White Power Rangers to morph from regular teenagers with attitude into the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers themselves!

Legacy Green Ranger Dragon Dagger

Probably the only thing cooler than owning the Green Rangers Morpher, would be owning his infamous Dragon Dagger. Now you can make that yours too, with the Power Rangers Legacy Dragon Dagger from Bandai! This thing is pretty awesome, titanium and gold plated, and plays a ton of original sounds from the hit series you grew up on! Maybe the flute mode will even summon the Dragonzord!

Legacy Dragonzord

Speaking of the Dragonzord, Bandai also released a new titanium plated Power Rangers Legacy Dragonzord this year! The basic Legacy Megazord might be off of the market by now, but the Dragonzord more than makes up for it with all of it’s awesomeness! He’s got solid articulation and can even morph to combine with the Legacy Megazord figure to create Mega Dragonzord!

Legacy Titanus

Of course, if Dragonzord isn’t enough, there’s always the massive Ultrazord Titanus! This guy is HUGE, hence the hefty price tag! He’s also titanium plated like his fellow zords in this series. It’s really nice to see this guy hit the market to complete the set of the original Mighty Morphin zords!

Power Rangers Legacy Collection

This massive boxset is the ULTIMATE gift for any Power Rangers fan. It contains 98 DVD Discs with over 750 episodes (767 to be more precise!) of the first 20 seasons of Power Rangers! It comes jam packed with tons of special features, and to top it all off it’s packaged inside an original Red Ranger helmet! Gifts don’t get cooler than this!

For ALIEN Fans

ALIEN Bottle Opener

It’s simple, yet awesome in it’s execution! This ALIENS Xenomorph bottle opener from Diamond Select is a great gift for anyone fan of the franchise who likes to sit back and enjoy a cold one once in a while.

ALIENS Vinyl Bust Bank

This sweet 8” Vinyl Bust Bank doubles as both a coin holder and an awesome ALIENS Display piece! It’ll hold all of your loose change and show off your love of the ALIENS franchise!

Minimates-ALIENS

In space, no one can hear you scream about how excited you are that these things exist! Hands down, some of the best Minimates that Diamond Select have ever produced, we’ve got two different varieties currently available on the market with more on the way! First, we’ve got a figure 4-pack for the original ‘ALIEN’ film that includes Ripley, Kane, Carter, and the Big Chap Alien Xenomorph! Then we’ve got the single-packed Minimates that make great individual stocking-stuffers, but make an even better gift as a complete case of 12! The single packed figures available include Carter Burke, Pvt. Wierzbowski, Pvt. Spunkmeyer, and several variants of the Alien Xenomorphs!

ALIEN Egg with Launching Facehugger

For those of you without the space for a ton of figures, there’s always this basic display piece of an ALIEN egg! Plus, it lights up and launches out a face hugger on command! It doesn’t get much cooler than this for ALIEN fans!

ALIEN Chestburster Plush

For the ALIEN fan who can’t quite handle some of the bigger toys or colletibles, there’s the ALIEN Chestburster plush! Cuddle up with this little beasty who would just as happily curl up on your insides!
