Like a TARDIS materializing in your living room, the Funko Pop Doctor Who line has new collectibles appearing soon that are promising to fill your shelves with some interesting exclusives. Let's run down the latest for you!
### **Hot Topic Exclusive Funko Pop Television Doctor Who #301 Ninth Doctor With Banana**
Hot Topic Exclusive Funko Pop Television Doctor Who #301 Ninth Doctor With Banana
Exclusive to , Christopher Eccleston sees some love with this variant. Why a banana? The Doctor has a bit of history with the fruit which has come up more than a few times in the series. While on Space Station Camera, the Sixth Doctor mysteriously stumbled on one in a pocket while search for wire to save the day. The Fourth Doctor expressed their appeal while stopping an invasion with one in *Death to the Doctor*. The Ninth Doctor (depicted here) switched a banana with a sonic blaster to prevent the death of a friend. Heck, the Tenth Doctor even claimed to have invented the banana daiquiri while visiting 18th century France further explaining to companion Rose, "Always bring a banana to a party". This pop does just that and we're glad because it's a quirky kind of cool.
If you're looking to add this vinyl figure to your Funko Pop collection, you're in lucky. It's still in stock (for now) at  and also available on .
HotTopic!
### **ThinkGeek Exclusive Funko Pop Television Doctor Who #319 Tenth Doctor Regeneration Vinyl Figure**
Looking all dapper in his regeneration inspired finest, this glow-in-the dark variant exclusive from ThinkGeek will have fans excited. Marking the end of Christopher Eccleston’s time as the Doctor and the debut of the much loved David Tennant years, this is a moment in Doctor Who history worth preserving in Funko Pop form.
### **Underground Toys Exclusive Funko Pop Television Doctor Who #227 Materializing TARDIS Vinyl Figure**
That's cool!
An interesting little version of the TARDIS which will certainly do well, this one is materializing in a small sea of controversy. First, fans have been calling for a "Bad Wolf" variant and this one misses that much desired (and deserved) mark. Secondly, the TARDIS does not materialize top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top. It arrives all at once so this Pop! is a little out of step with the show. That said, I'm betting fans for Doctor Who will still snap it up. As variants go, it is a nice visual effect that you will find exclusively at . Go forth and collect!

Star Trek Goes Postal For Its 50th Anniversary
# Star Trek Goes Postal For Its 50th Anniversary
7 Jan 2016
• 4 min read
While sharing details on  last week, we discussed the  50th Anniversary, which is happening on September 8th, 2016. If you bump around the internet a bit, there’s been a lot of talk about  taking shape for this golden anniversary. Personally, I’m already loving the new artwork which was recently unveiled for a series of commemorative postage stamps coming  from the .
As , these stamps were a bit of a challenge for , the design studio responsible for this colorful artwork. The studio was unable to utilize the cast's exact likenesses or any copyrighted material from the spin-offs in the design due to legal restrictions. The team had to get creative, and that's exactly what they did by utilizing iconic imagery. The results are already garnering praise and I know I'll be lining up to get a set.
Over the years there have been several Star Trek stamps released. Here are six of our favorite historical sets which also honored the original series!
### **Celebrate The Century Initiative Stamp released in 1999**
Celebrate The Century: 1960s Star Trek
This thirty-three cent stamp was unveiled to the public as part of their . This release of stamps recognized significant events from each decade of the 20th century. The Star Trek stamp was part of the 1960s series in the Arts and Entertainment category and it was designed by Keith Birdsong. The stamp only took shape after a long campaign by fans and it represents the first time the United States Postal Service honored the series with formal postage.
### **Space Exploration Commemorative Stamps released in 1991**
Though that 1999 stamp carries the honor of being the first Star Trek postage, it wasn't the first time the postal service tipped a hat to the show’s legacy. Back in 1991 they released a commemorative collection honoring the show's 25th anniversary. This set came as a bonus "sticker set" which were included with a purchase of a book of Space Exploration stamps, which they were promoting at the time. Leonard Nimoy lent his support to the campaign, appearing in ads that read "Stamp collecting is logical."
### **"Star Trek Of Gene Roddenberry" and "Star Trek Captain Kirk Signs The Log" released by the  in 2008**
!!
We're tying these two together to honor the  stamps of Micronesia. Both hit the market in 2008 and share interesting ties to the states. Located in the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific Ocean, Micronesia is an island nation which consist of over 600 islands unified into four states. As part of their special relationship with the United States, the United States Postal Service transports mail between the island states. In fact, Micronesia is even part of the United States ZIP code system and uses our postage rates, making it easy for these stamps and U.S. economic ties to manifest there. Besides all that, these stamps are visually amazing and worthy of collections.
### **"Live Long And Prosper" and "Star Trek Created By Gene Roddenberry" released by Antigua & Barbuda Postal Services in 2008**
At the same time the Federated States of Micronesia was releasing their sets, Antigua & Barbuda were celebrating Star Trek in a very similar fashion down in the Land of 365 Beaches. Something tells me Kirk would have done well on an away mission there. In the end, we can't vouch for how these stamps would fit into the prime directive, but it is fact that they (along the Micronesia stamps) are actual legal postage still honored today.
We could continue this list but we've covered the main United States stamps and given you a taste of the international ones with a focus on the original series. There have been other efforts honoring the original and subsequent series, but we'll leave their story for another day. For now, we will simply say, "Live long and go postal" as you join us counting down to the sci-fi series' 50th anniversary celebration!

Threezero unveils exceptionally detailed Fallout 4 Power Armor action figure that's ready for battle.

The Hong Kong based vinyl toy manufacturer  has been catching attention for over 10 years partnering with other companies and artists to produce some incredibly detailed collectibles. Take their recently unveiled  power armor as just one example. Here, you really do need to see it to believe it!
threezero Fallout 4 Power Armor action figure
At first glance you can see that this figure is unbelievably detailed and the armor is a work of art. Unveiled by threezero at the recent  exhibition, we invite you to take a moment to check out the design work in the next three photos then we'll return below with a new perspective on the piece that really raises the bar!
!!!
Beautiful right? Okay, now for the part that blew my mind. The power armor is removable! Yes, piece-by-piece you can take it off the figure to reveal the armor framework and Vault jumpsuit underneath. I feel this tucked away aspect of the figure is actually more detailed than the primary presentation.
This was one of several big unveils for threezero at the show and there will be added detail and artistry in the final version of this collectible. No word yet on the release date, availability or price. I do know that we here at CompleteSet will be keeping a continued eye on this manufacturer. Especially considering they've acquired licenses for AMC's The Walking Dead (making 1/6th scale collectibles) and Game of Thrones. We cannot wait to see what's coming next in each of these toy lines!
