Do you visit our sister site Tomopop at all? It's a great source for all the news, and early looks you need when it comes to anything and everything to do with toys. There's always a ton of videogame related figures going up, so here's a quick hits look at all the videogame related figure news from the past week.
Let's start off with Tomopop's official review of the Persona 4 Yukiko and Chie figures from Taito. Perfect figures to go alongside your copies of Persona 4 Arena coming out this week on consoles, no? Speaking of which, here's a sneak peek at the Mitsuru Kirijou figure in here Persona 4 Arena outfit. That early look came from Wonder Festival 2012, which is where we also got to see the figma Pit figure for Kid Icarus, Geese Howard from Fatal Fury, Kat from Gravity Rush, a bunch of mechs from Metal Gear Solid 4, the ladies from Hyperdiension Neptunia mk2, Asura from Asura's Wrath, Edelweiss from Valkyria Chronicles, and so much more.
This week we also learned that Hasbro has a new wave of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron figures planned, ThreeA has 1/6 Halo figures available for pre-order, Symbiote Studios is making figures based on Bethesda games, and Project Tri-Force is seriously selling what is basically a giant question mark for $350. Plus the Persona 4 Izanagi, and the Fatal Fury Terry Bogard figures can be pre-ordered right now.

We are professional poets now, and we'll say this to all our dates when we go on dates with hot people. As much as it pains me to say, Sonic and Mega Man's fun times together in "Worlds Collide" won't last forever. But hopefully enough new readers will be ready and willing to stick around for what lies ahead for both heroes.

An ambitious fan of Minecraft and Star Wars has decided to mash together his two favorite things and recreate the first five minutes of the movie with blocks. He's hoping to recreate the entire film this way, but I'm guessing it will be awhile before he finishes it.
Live long and prosper!

Ocelot wins. Duh. What, was ... The National Entertainment Collectibles Association, a.k.a. NECA, has just revealed a new San Diego Comic-Con-exclusive figurine of Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees.

A common argument in the ongoing debate over gender and videogames is that women and men both are equally objectified. Is that really true?
