IN THE SPOTLIGHT: DYNAMITE FIGURINES

"Yellow Submarine" Collectible: John & Jeremy (Nowhere Man)
by McFarlane Toys
Based on the Fab Four's trippy, animated flick "Yellow Submarine," Todd McFarlane's collectible figures of the Beatles feature the same unusual details found in the movie. A must-have for true Beatles fans, this figure of John Lennon with two-tone pants and a colorful shirt is paired with Nowhere Man, one of the movie's weird (yet definitive) characters. Read more

Mini Me Action Figure
by McFarlane Toys
Mini Me is a lesson in what happens when you fool with Mother Nature. If you've seen "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me," you know that Mini Me is just plain "Evil" incarnate--literally. Cloned in the likeness of his bald messiah, Dr. Evil, Mini Me stands (here at 18 inches) ready to laud his every diabolical whim. This adorable, appalling figure should instigate plenty of laughs, and makes an excellent keepsake for collectors and fans of the movie. Read more

South Park: Chef's Luv Shack
by Acclaim Entertainment
South Park critics, browse elsewhere. If you can't take the cartoon, you surely won't be able to stomach this: a video game compendium featuring the most morally deficient stuff you'll ever witness. Side-splitting sound bites, crazy graphics, and antics from our favorite group of juveniles and their school cook (who's not the pimp daddy the title suggests) totally exploit the gaming mentality. Fun just thinking about it, right? Read more

by Hasbro
Many people will look back on the 1950s and 1960s as pivotal decades of the 20th century that greatly influenced the direction of music, politics, and even pop culture. A collage-style representation of high and low points of the mid-century, this 1,000-piece commemorative jigsaw puzzle captures the essence of that era.

"NFL Blitz 2000" (Playstation)
by Midway
According to GameSpot, the Internet's authority on video games, with "NFL Blitz 2000" you can create defensive formations in a way that's never been done before. An offshoot of "Blitz '99," which only allowed offensive editing, this version allows you to make punts and field-goal formations on top of offensive/defensive maneuvers. A playbook allows players to arrange audibles and impulse plays, and look at past movements for reference. Players can also choreograph new plays at the click of a button. With "NFL Blitz 2000," you can create the best game of the new millennium without having to leave your couch. Read more
