One of the most popular Star Wars toys was the AT-AT Walker and in the upcoming Rogue One film, a variant version of the AT-AT is introduced, the Imperial AT-ACT. While the AT-AT is a heavy offensive weapon and troop carrier, the AT-ACT carries heavy materials and weapons.
One of my favorite playset/vehicles is the Star Wars Millennium Falcon. I have memories of looking at the Kenner Millennium Falcon in toy catalogues and watching the TV ads. Disney BOXED takes a look at designing and crafting the Playskool Heroes Star Wars Jedi Force Millennium Falcon Playset. This is the Toys”R”Us exclusive version featuring 4 figures: Han Solo, Chewbacca, C3-PO and R2-D2.
Are you looking for a cool portable Star Wars playset? Well, Takara Tomy just released the Star Wars Super Deformation Diorama Death Star. The playset folds into the Death Star and a base for any 3.75″ action figures and Micro Machines & Hot Wheels type Star Wars vehicles and spacecraft.
The new offerings from HK toy company Big Boys Toys with their super deformed big head Street Fighter series figure playsets. This is the Street Fighter The New Challenger Figure 02 – Ken and Street Fighter The New Challenger Figure 03 – Chun-Li.
Over 500,000 LEGO bricks took to build one of the world’s biggest Star Wars diorama, the Empire’s Death Star. Fifteen LEGO builders took 3 months to build this special effects laden LEGO diorama/playset for Legoland Windsor in the UK.
If you’ve been collecting the Tomy line of Toy Story action figures from Japan, then this will be a cool addition, the Alien Pizza Planet Playset. The 12″ tall Alien converts into a Pizza Planet playset with various play features and requires 3 AA batteries which are not included.
Another LEGO-style brick company Cra-Z-Art offers officially licensed Lite Brix The Peanuts Movie toys. The Lite Brix The Peanuts Movie School Dance features 104-pieces, 2 figures – Sally & Schroeder, lights and sounds. The set requires 3 “AAA” batteries that are not included.
This ain’t no lame Waterworld LEGO brick playset. This is kind of like that Japanese anime “Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet” collection of city/ships, but cooler and techy. I’m a big fan of LEGO builders building new sci-fi worlds and landscapes like this. This is Cienasis 5 by LEGO fan Daniel Church.
The LEGO Marvel Super Heroes line-up of toys has been very popular among fans and now the upcoming Age of Ultron flick, more LEGO Avengers toys are hitting the stores. This is the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron Attack on Avengers Tower 76038 playset.
We mention these guys before on our site, but this South Korean professional LEGO master build team Olive Seon knows how to build huge LEGO diorama playsets. Above image is their latest city build – Magma City.
This is another recent build of theirs, a LEGO Theme Park.
If you weren’t satisfied with this year’s lame Bandai America’s Godzilla Destruction City playset, why not try ALGERNON Product Geocraper – Tokyo Scenery Vol. 1 series? Yupe, this toy line is called GEO-CRAPER, something got lost in translation here, but I digress. This is a great way to build a mini-toy diorama playset and putting your toy kaijus on display.
Build a cool Star Wars playset with your kids (Ages 5 and up) with this Boxo Papercraft Playset. Better yet, this gift requires No Batteries, No Scissors, No Tape and No Glue, all you need is to follow the Boxo Papercraft instructions.
This amazing Joker’s Funhouse playset made from LEGO has lots of cool stuff like light effects, moving parts, and tons of mini-figures. Built by custom LEGO builder Paul Hetherington, the Joker’s Funhouse won Best in Show at this year’s BrickCon.
Everybody’s been talking about this anime Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) and at anime conventions I see many cosplayers dressing as characters from this anime, so I think it’s about time I start watching it once I finish watching my kdramas. Fans of the anime can pick up this cool diorama piece by the Good Smile Company.
It can get very expensive collecting LEGO Star Wars toys, but this LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village playset looks like fun to build and best of it comes with 16 LEGO minifigs which include Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, 2 Rebel Soldiers, 5 Ewoks (Wicket, Teebo, Chief Chirpa & Logray), 2 Scout Troopers and 2 Stormtroopers. Look for this LEGO Ewok Village in September 2013. Check out this video by LEGO designer Marcos Bessa:
