A scene from Dexter: Early Cuts

I’m a big fan of Dexter and so I’m happy to hear Showtime are producing an animated web series titled Dexter: Early Cuts.

Dexter: Early Cuts is going to be a 12 part series told in four one or two minute chapters.  It will be built on the mythology of the live-action series.  I’m laughing out loud (in a good way) at the idea that the animated series will show fans how his slaying techniques have evolved.

Dexter: Early Cuts will premiere Oct. 25 on www.sho.com.

In the meantime, Dexter has a new action figure on the way – the Dexter and Sgt. Doakes 7-Inch Action Figure Scene 2-Pack.

Check out the prototype image:

I’ve decided Best Collectibles might end up a little boring if I don’t post a little something to break up all the collectibles posts.  Actually the decision was made for me since I was getting bored posting only adverts for collectibles.  So from now on I’ll incorporate my own blog posts of other cool and interesting stuff and well, this is the first of those posts.

I can’t think of a better way to kick it off than with this weird ass yet strangely awesome stop motion Dexter toy video that was put together by Showtime to promote the new season of Dexter.

Anyway, the vid is after the jump.

Avatar Basic Action Figures Wave 1

The first line of action figures based on James Cameron’s Avatar are now available for pre-order via Entertainment Earth.

Normally I wouldn’t post stock standard action figures like these however I thought I’d make an exception in this case given the added i-Tag functionality that comes with them. I’m guessing a lot of people will have some fun with it.

In short, each of these Avatar action figures comes with an i-Tag, which is a tag that enables you to play with the ‘Augmented Reality’ on the Avatar website, www.avataritag.com.

Don’t let me bore you with an explanation though, watch the far more exciting video preview:

Medicom Toy Corp Limited Edition Alien 12-Inch RAH Figure (click to enlarge)

This Medicom Toy Corporation 12-inch 1:6 scale RAH Alien figure is simply superb.

These outstanding action figures are of the highest quality and offer one of the most articulated 12-inch figure bodies available, capable of nearly any pose you can imagine.

This particular figure is a Limited Edition (I believe of 500, but don’t quote me on that).  Either way they aren’t easy to find.

These are a rare commodity.  They were recently sold out at Sideshow Collectibles, but someone didn’t follow through so now there’s a second chance opportunity going there.

If you want one, Sideshow is a good place to go right now for as long as the second chance opportunity lasts.  They have it available for $169.99 which, considering these Alien collectibles are going to be hard to get, is a good deal.

When Sideshow sell out (which you can count on shortly), you can try eBay.  At the moment there’s one on eBay for $179.99.

Check it out at Sideshow Collectibles here.

1:6 Scale Two Face from 'The Dark Knight' (click to enlarge)

Now this is an impressive 1:6 scale figure of Two Face from The Dark Knight that manages to retain a perfectly detailed likeness of actor Aaron Eckhart.

It’s a Hot Toys collectible that stands 12-inches tall and boasts more than 32 points of articulation.

I’ve seen this floating around at in excess of $160 in some stores, however Urban Collector have 3 available on eBay with an incredibly low Buy it Now of $127.99.  That’s as cheap as I’ve seen it.

First Collectibles from Shaner Acker's '9'

Entertainment Earth have announced the first collectibles from Shane Acker’s animated sci-fi/fantasy film 9. It’s a well timed announcement because today is the day the film has been released.

EE are advertising these as collectibles from Tim Burton’s 9 but perhaps that’s only because director Shane Acker isn’t as well known yet as producer Tim Burton.

Martin Laing Signature Edition Terminator T-600

If there’s a popular collectible on the planet it’s Terminator action figures.  They tend to sell out like crazy and most Limited Editions are gone before you know it. These T600’s are coming in January 2010 and I’m guessing they’re going to sell like hot cakes too.

This particular Terminator T-600 Action Figure was inspired by the original T-600 concept art created by Terminator Salvation production designer and artist Martin Laing.

The T-600 is designed with a variant machine gun and bullet container design.  The severed heads of two T-700 machines can be seen at its feet.

Gort 16 Inch Collector's Action Figure

Check out Amok Time’s 16-inch PVC action figure of Gort from The Day the Earth Stood Still. This is the original Gort from the 1951 classic, not the one from the Keanu Reeve’s film of the same name.

Gort features retro styled packaging, a deluxe 4-color window box with a fifth panel, 6 points of articulation and looks supremely accurate to Gort from the original film.
