Welcome back to Toy Aisle, Gizmodo’s regular round up of the coolest nerdy merch floating around the internet. This week:
The Mandalorian’s Dark Troopers stomp their way into Hot Toys’ figure line, you can take your feet on an away mission to the Comfort Zone, and Lego stokes the nostalgic flames of its Castle line with a new Ideas set. Check it out!
As Hollywood anti-heroes go, they don’t get more surly than
Jaws’ Sam Quint, a WWII veteran obsessed with hunting sharks who was brought to the screen by Robert Shaw. Spoiler alert: he doesn’t quite deliver on his promise of ridding Amity Island of its great white shark problem, but Quint still remains a character worthy of immortalization in an 8-inch figure. NECA has released a handful of new shots of the figure ahead of its arrival in March that will include his full outfit, a harpoon gun, a rifle, a machete, a baseball bat, and a can of beer. There’s no pricing info yet, but NECA has also teased that Bruce the Shark will also be joining Quint later this year, although a planned Chief Martin Brody figure has been officially cancelled.
