For many years, GameStop was strictly video games and strategy guides but more recently, they expanded to include card games, fashion accessories and collectible toys. The chain has now leveled up to include designer toys, such as Good Smile Company’s Nendoroid figures and Kotobukiya’s ArtFX+ line (like those two Star Wars figures). Two designer toys that we think you’ll be interested in were listed for pre-order on GameStop’s online store, a limited edition Fox McCloud statue along with Nendoroid Majora’s Mask Link.

The Fox McCloud statue stands eight inches tall and is made of hand-painted resin. The figure is limited 5,000 pieces. It costs $79.99 and is scheduled to release on February 9, 2016.

The Nendoroid Majora’s Mask Link is approximately 10 centimeters tall. Like all figures in Good Smile Company’s Nendoroid series, it comes with a bunch of accessories to customize Link’s look (you can get a better idea from this blog post by Good Smile Company’s Kahotan). The figure costs $46.99 and ships from Gamestop on March 15, 2016.

Are you playing on purchasing either of these figures? What do you think of GameStop’s new direction?

Briefly: Here’s an awesome holiday treat for The Legend of Zelda fans.

Jared Potter, the same talented creator that brought us the impressive Bioshock: New Year’s End fan film is back again, and this time he’s taking on the creepiest character from the Legend of Zelda series: Skull Kid.

Potter shows viewers a Zelda world like they have never seen recreated through stunning visual effects. In the video, Skull Kid, a harmless but troublesome imp, has been cast out of the city of Clocktown. Deep within the lost woods, he must face the harsh realities of his banishment. There, amongst the trees, an ancient evil has also begun to stir, seeking out a creature suitable to become its puppet. Us fans will recognize many of the scenes in the short, especially the awesome ending.

Take a look at The Skull Kid below, and let us know what you think!
