Yeah, you could go spend a bunch of money on some flashy, officially licensed action figures to show your love for your favorite sci-fi franchises. Or you could take a Barbie doll from the junk heap, apply a little ingenuity and a few spare parts, and craft your own Ripley-esque action hero Barbie ready to take on the Alien Queen.

Well, that elastic blonde beefcake from '70s toy heaven is one tug closer to film reality with the addition of The Crazies director Breck Eisner. With all the development push/pull, the poor guy's developed serious stretch marks. Let's hope he has time to heal.

Action figures are good for a lot of things. You can collect them mint in their boxes, you can play with them, or you can take them outside and strap them to bottle rockets. Photographer and teacher David Eger saw something more in his Star Wars toys, and the result is an art project you have to see.
