13 TV collectibles from Toy Fair you’ll love more than your DVR
Matty Collector Castle Grayskull
If you love He-Man and the Masters of the Universe collectible figures, your dream is coming true. Matty Collector is creating a brand new foldout Castle Grayskull playset with dual levels that fits the scale of their long-running collectible figure series. Still being designed, the set is only available through pre-sale (until March 4, 2013) and will ship the end of 2013. It will set you back $275.00 but then it’s almost big enough to live in too so…problem solved!
Gale Force Nine Firefly Board Game
Oh yes, this is very shiny. Gale Force Nine brings the Browncoats a brand new board game that allows you to captain your own Firefly class starship, recruit a crew and go out on a host of dodgy jobs to keep flyin’. The game debuts at Gencon in August and will cost $49.99.
Dark Horse Jon Snow and Ghost Statue
Oh that poor bastard, Jon Snow. The illegitimate son of Eddard Stark in Game of Thrones, Jon is serving in the Night’s Watch at the Wall. It’s certainly not a glamorous life, but this gorgeous statue featuring Snow and his loyal direwolf, Ghost, sure makes them look amazing. Sculpted in the likeness of actor Kit Harington, the statue will be available in June for $349.99.
Bif Bang Pow! Doctor Who Mini Journals
If you can’t be the good Doctor’s official companion, you can at least take notes like you’re his sidekick with these new mini journals. Pocket-sized, hard-covered and themed with a Tardis or River Song’s cover, they hit retail in the spring.
DST Star Trek Kirk and Khan Select Action Figures
It’s always a good time when Kirk and Khan are grappling like the alpha males we know and love. DST celebrates their timeless rivalry from its origin in “Space Seed” with this new action figure set and Enterprise bridge base that captures one of their epic mano-a-mano battles. Available in May 2013 for $24.99.
Bif Bang Pow! The Twilight Zone Mystic Seer Monitor Mate
Who doesn’t want to be taunted with their fate all day right from their computer? Plucked from the classic Zone episode “Nick of Time,” this Monitor Mate fits perfectly on the ledge of a computer monitor or shelf and will silently pester you to ask it yes or no questions. Also coming this year, look for a special B&W metal tote featuring the Mystic Seer. Available in 2013.
Funko Game of Thrones Pop Vinyl
The entire cast of Game of Thrones has never looked so cute. Funko gives the characters the Pop Vinyl treatment with Series One launching April 11, 2013.

Series Two follows in the summer with six more figures.
Bif Bang Pow! The Six Million Dollar Man Action Figures
Steve Austin lives…at least in 8-inch scale. Action figures based on the classic TV series continue into 2013 with Oscar Goldman, Fembot and Mr. X Robot. And in case you’re wondering, Big Foot is available now.
Mezco Cheetara
The Thundercats continue to roll out at Mezco with the most badass lady cat – Cheetara. A mega deluxe 14" scale figure features 10 points of articulation and her signature bow staff. Available in July for $40.00.

The Adventure Time gang goes vinyl with its first Pop Vinyl series featuring Finn, Jake, Lumpy, Ice King and Marceline. Available April 18, 2013 for $9.99 each.
Bif Bang Pow! The Big Bang Theory Action Figures
In what would surely be a life-defining moment for the Big Bang Theory geeks, the core cast are being immortalized as 8” action figures for the very first time (and certainly with more accuracy than Raj and Howard’s personalized figures turned out this season). Sculpted to the likenesses of the actors, the figures will launch Bif Bang Pow’s new line of collectibles for the series and will be available in the summer.
