Pixar Aliens Get Makeovers With New Beast Kingdom Figures

Beast Kingdom has announced that the Pixar Aliens are getting a makeover with their newest collectibles. This time we are getting 12 Aliens that are wearing some iconic Disney Pixar characters. Six of them are from the classic film, Toy Story, as Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie, Bo-Peep, and Forky come to life with their adorable Alien look. Monsters Inc is getting two characters in this wave as Sully and Boo arrive and are too adorable to be scary. The movie Up is also getting two figures with Carl and Russel and the Alien makeovers that perfectly capture their look. The last two figures are from Ratatouille and Finding Nemo as Nemo and Remy get some adorable Alien lookalikes. These figures will also be getting a size increase from the usual Beast Kingdom Mini Egg Attack figures with a new 3 inch size mold. There is even a limited edition hidden figure that appears to be an Alien version of Wall-E which will be a must for any completionist.

These Pixar Alien Cosplay figures are something unique and adorable that combines some great characters over the generations. I do know that it is rumored Funko will be doing something similar later on but Beast Kingdom has beaten them to the punch. I would love to see more figures come to life with these Pixar Aliens like Bugs Life, Incredibles, Inside Out, and Onward. As 2020 marks the 25th Anniversary of Toy Story, it is not surprising that they used one of the series iconic characters to celebrate and they chose correctly. Pre-orders and prices are not live just yet but you will be able to find them here once they go live. Check out all of the characters below and exerts of the product description.

"Beast Kingdom's Entertainment Experience Brand invites you to experience the latest 3-inch MEA-021 Mini Egg Attack figurines, with a cute mashup of classic Disney Pixar characters and the adorable Aliens from the Toy Story franchise. Enter an alternative universe where our lovable three-eyed Aliens dress-up and cosplay as some of the most famous characters from Pixar. Whilst mini in size, each character is high on detail and exquisitely painted with high-end details. From Carl's chunky glasses, to Nemo's orange flippers, no detail have been spared. With a new design, also comes new accessories. Each figure will come with its own color coordinated base, which hooks up with any other character to create a 'clever-flooring' design! Play around to find your perfect setup."

Funko Soda Review: Green Batman, Grape Ape and Mumm-Ra

Funko Soda has been an absolute delight for Funko collectors. These new vinyl figures are not as popular as their iconic Pop series but they are getting there. They have released a nice variety of characters from a large list of franchises like DC Comics, Hanna-Barbera, and Ad Icons. We have covered quite a few of them already and you can find some of them located here and here. This time we were able to get our hands on three more, with Thundercats Mumm-Ra, Emerald City Comic Con Exclusive Green Batman, and The Great Grape Ape Show Grape Ape. So let's dive right into our newest Funko reviews.

Thundercats Mumm-Ra Figure, from Funko.

First up is Emerald City Comic Con Exclusive Batman that was shared exclusively with the Funko-Shop. This special edition Batman does shows him in a green costume much like the Entertainment Earth Pop Vinyl. This Soda is limited to only 5,000 pieces and does have a chance at a pink Batman Chase. The can has green letters, green Batman art, and an ECCC exclusive sticker on the side. The figure is exactly the same as the original figure. This animated-style Batman is pretty cute and gives me an interesting Teen Titans Go! vibe. The green color is very vibrant and is honestly a good exclusive for Emerald City Comic Con. The simplistic style of these figures is what I like about them as well as the retro styled look. The figure checks all of those boxes and he would look great with the other DC Comics Funko collectibles out there already.

 

Funko has already shown us a hero, so let us take a look at a villain as well. This time we are looking at the Thundercats bad guy Mumm-Ra. His figure offering is limited to only 7,500 pieces and features a black robed version of the fan-favorite character. The Funko Soda can itself shows off a nice display of light blue and red colors on the logo and design elements with a retro look at Mumm-Ra in the center. The vinyl Funko figure of Thundercats antagonist Mumm-Ra is very cartoony but extremely well designed. His look makes me think of a modern day reboot of the classic Thundercats cartoon. It is a nice figure that will be a good companion piece to display next to the Lion-O vinyl offering. While there's nothing about the look of the figure that particularly stands out from a sculpt or design standpoint, it's an overall solid design that will make any Thundercats fan quite happy.

The final Funko offering we are opening up this time around is from The Great Grape Ape Show and Great Ape is in the building. This fun and classic-looking figure is limited to only 6,000 pieces and does feature a metallic version of the same figure as a chase variant. The can does feature a nice retro design with green and purple colors spread out over it. The Great Ape figure is my favorite collectible from this review. His nice cartoony design doesn't pull that far away from his original look which is a huge plus. His colors are bright and his smile just pulls you in. He is a nice figure all around from his color, sculpt, and expression he can make any fan, whether a Funko collector or a retro collector you can be happy with this piece.

All of these figures are a great addition to any fan's collection. Their designs and their limited edition size is what will really captivate a hardcore Funko collector or any new collector out there. These collectibles are hard to come by in the wild and have very limited stock online. I have personally seen them drop in a couple of places like Hot Topic, BoxLunch, and Barnes & Noble. With their limited qualities they will be hard to find, but getting one in your hands is quite satisfying. Whether it is a chase or the standard figure they are nice figures that can enhance any fan's collection.

5 Items to Get Your Room Ready for WrestleMania

Are you ready for WrestleMania this weekend? Are you still looking for the perfect item for your solo party? I'm in the same boat. Since I'll be watching WrestleMania by myself this year, I'm looking for some of the best items to keep my spirits up. My friends at fun.com have some great items to pick from — so I've rounded up the best of the best!

• Sculpted WWE Belt Mug
  $15.99

If there's one thing I've learned about watching WrestleMania, it's that you'll need a lot of caffeine. WreslteMania's go on for what seems like years, and this year, we're getting two days of it. This beautiful mug is perfect for all kinds of coffee, or even spiked coffee. Or maybe just straight up alcohol. We're not judging you.

• The Undertaker 24 oz Stainless Steel Tumbler
  $14.99

Cold drinks more your speed? This awesome tumbler will keep your drinks nice and cold (or even hot)! This tumbler features only the Undertaker name and is rather eye-catching. It's not over the top, and you could very well use this in your everyday life.

• WWE Airnourmouse Universal Championship Title
  $14.99

Want a title of your own but don't want to shell out the big bucks? This larger than life inflatable Universal Championship Title is perfect for you. It's also just plain fun. Who doesn't want a blow-up WWE title? You can also pick from the United States title and the WWE Championship title.

• Sasha Banks Plush Throw
  $29.99

Get cozy for this year's WrestleMania with this boss of a blanket. Featuring Sasha Banks, one of the most entertaining WWE superstars, this will keep you warm and cozy through two whole days of WrestleMania fun! Also, check out their John Cena throw for more of a classic WWE take. Too bad we can't see him, though.

• Becky Lynch Funko Pop
  $8.99

Want some buddies to keep you company this year? This Becky Lynch pop is adorable, but you can also get Mean Gene Okerlund, Vince McMahon, and more! Prices vary by pop.

Of course, if you're a long-standing WWE fan, you probably have loads of stuff to decorate with already. These are just some of the many ways you can still enjoy WrestleMania from the comfort of your own home!
