Sometime over two weekends ago, when we were attending the New York Comic Con, we reached a milestone: over 50,000 Tumblr followers (!!!)

(we may have missed an opportunity to do a screenshot or two lately; we’re still suffering from New York Comic Con flu funk)
We started out as this little picture blog about actors and their plastic replicants, which has since spiraled into this loving cup of a lot of things cute, weird, creepy and geeky.
Thank you so much for your <3 , your reblogs, your comments and love. So much love. And Loki kisses. And more love.

Ellen Degeneres was visiting with two of the actors from the recent Marvel AVENGERS movie, Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr on the set of her talk show ELLEN in support of the movie, when they gifted her with her own custom action figure.

We’re still trying to figure out which MARVEL LEGENDS mold they used to cast this action figure from *cough*boobs*cough*

Michael Fassbender in an article by Jill Pantozzi (@TheNerdyBird) talks about the sort of action figures he played with as a kid:

Star Wars was really the only sci-fi sort of fascination I had as a youngster. I collected and I’ve still got the AT-AT and the Millennium Falcon and the Ewok village,” Fassbender told Absolute Radio. “I suppose they are worth a bit of money. I sort of passed them on I think, and also I took them out of their box.”

Fassbender went on to describe the Ewok village set to them, just in case there was any question of his sincerity. “It’s kind of like three trees, or four perhaps, they’re sort of joined together with the platform bit. It’s quite cool, you can go into the trunk of one and come out the other, and there’s a little sort of wind up trap net thing where you can sort of reel somebody up,” he said.

The Ewok Village play-set in question (from this site):

EWOK VILLAGE PLAYSET

There seems to be some sort of inconsistency where the playset can’t seem to decide whether it had greenery on the tops of its trees or not.

Link to the original article

Michael Fassbender recently appears in X-MEN: FIRST CLASS. He is slated to appear in the upcoming Ridley Scott ALIEN-prequel PROMETHEUS.

AVENGERS Hawkeye / Jeremy Renner deluxe action figure

It’s like having your own personal Jeremy Renner, only this one is 1/6th the size of the real thing.

Creepy, I know, but this particular toy more so because it looks so much like him, down to the crow’s-feet around the eyes and the texture of his hair.
