Matt Smith, the latest incarnation in the Doctor Who series, has just hit the airwaves, and Underground Toys is right there with a new action figure set. The new Crash Set 2-pack features two highly detailed versions of the 11th Doctor from the episode “Eleventh Hour”. In one version, the figure is still wearing the ripped, tattered remains of the 10th Doctor’s suit following an explosion in the TARDIS; in the other version, the Doctor is sporting a tweed jacket, bow tie and boots pilfered from lockers at the local hospital. The set will be available this May from several retailers and sell for about $26.
The 5-inch figure also includes the Doctor’s new sonic screwdriver, though a bit hard to see the detail at such a small scale (a larger scale version of the new sonic screwdriver is also coming).
Available for pre-order from Entertainment Earth and other retailers. Retail price $25.99

Star Wars collectors, rejoice! Hasbro has been working on a new and improved version of the classic AT-AT toy, scaled to work with the current set of 3 3/4 inch action figures. In a Toy Fair 2010 press release issued today, they revealed some great details on what to expect when it hits shelves in August this year:
STAR WARS AT-AT
In space, size does matter, and Hasbro certainly kept that in mind when creating its all-new, highly detailed STAR WARS AT-AT. The AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport) played a significant role in the Empire’s military assault in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and it will play an equally important role in every fan’s toy collection this year! Measuring more than 24 inches tall, nearly 28 inches long, and 12 inches wide, this colossal vehicle holds up to 20 STAR WARS figures – 6 of which can fit in its head alone! – and includes so many play and electronic features true to its on-screen counterpart that it’s hard to believe! From the zip-line in its body and articulated legs for superb poseability, to its LED lights and authentic movie sounds and phrases, this is the must-have addition for STAR WARS fans of all ages. Includes a 3 ¾ inch AT-AT driver action figure and a pop-out speeder bike.
(Approximate Retail Value: $99.99; Ages: 5 & up; Available: August 1, 2010)

James Cameron’s film Avatar opens here in the US on Friday, December 18th (showtime/tickets), and so far the initial reviews are pretty good. Avatar is the story of a wounded ex-marine, Jake Sully, pushed into a growing conflict between human settlement expansion/ exploitation of an exotic planet called Pandora and the native Na’vi. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, Jake ultimately finds himself in a desperate fight for the survival of the indigenous people.
The hype and expectations are pretty high for this movie, and with a big blockbuster science fiction film comes blockbuster merchandising. Here are some of the products and collectibles out now or coming soon.
