Bringing home a dinosaur usually requires questionable genetics and a very understanding insurance company. Mattel offers a safer route with a 1:1-scale Aquilops ‘Dolores’ from Jurassic World: Rebirth, featuring real-feel material, glass eyes, articulated limbs, and a wire-posable tail in a size small enough to perch on your shoulder.
The Crawleys are moving into a 4,711-piece residence with removable floors, 13 familiar faces, and enough period detail to keep both aristocrats and servants occupied. LEGO Ideas Downton Abbey recreates Highclere Castle from its grand dining room upstairs to the bustling kitchen below.
Barbie’s latest designer collaboration skips the expected runway dress for sculpted armor, anime-inspired hair, and a robotic cat. Created with AMBUSH co-founder Yoon Ahn, the futuristic collector doll imagines what fashion might look like when streetwear catches up with science fiction.
A movie inspired by a die-cast toy brand has now inspired a toy depicting how that movie was made. The Matchbox The Movie Director Diorama shrinks filmmaker Sam Hargrave, a chase-damaged 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback, and a G-Class camera car into a behind-the-scenes set with a wonderfully circular reason for existing.
Hot Wheels has shrunk Bumblebee to 1:64 scale without taking away his ability to transform. The licensed Volkswagen Beetle looks charming enough, but transform it into robot mode, and the Autobot scout reveals proportions so peculiar that only G1 accuracy can explain them.
Optimus Prime’s purple Evangelion makeover is no longer a solo act. For the second Transformers crossover, Rodimus Prime has scanned Unit-02, gaining its red armor, six-eyed stare, and formidable arsenal while retaining the slightly less exciting ability to transform into a cab-over truck.
Most articulated EVA-01 figures cannot hide the fact that they are toys. Infinity Studio’s 36 cm interpretation comes unnervingly close, concealing its alloy skeleton beneath silicone skin while retaining extreme poseability. Illuminated eyes, UV-reactive armor, magnetic feet, and oversized weapons complete this unusually organic take on Evangelion’s biomechanical giant.
Most die-cast cars are content to sit quietly and look pretty. TOMY+ has other plans for Dom’s 1970 Dodge Charger R/T, recreating the Fast & Furious icon in 1:10 scale with a rumbling engine, moving supercharger, working lights and gauges, and even mysterious burnout effects.
Hyrule’s legendary darkness-sealing blade has been reborn as a 27-inch electronic roleplay toy, complete with iconic music and more than 15 sounds triggered by movement and impact. It cannot defeat Ganondorf, but it can make swinging a toy sword around the living room feel considerably more heroic.
At 1,038 pieces, the new LEGO Ideas Wallace & Gromit (21371) set turns Aardman’s iconic claymation duo into a 9-inch display piece. Featuring their vintage motorcycle, sidecar, and hidden Easter eggs, it ships October 1, 2026, for US$99.99.
Sony’s original PlayStation has joined LEGO’s growing collection of brick-built consoles. The nearly life-size model recreates the iconic grey machine and its DualShock controller, complete with working buttons and hidden scenes inspired by Gran Turismo and Ape Escape.
