Col. Steve Austin and Bigfoot
These are part of the resurgent "Mego" styled 8-inch action figures produced by Bif Bang Pow. The sculpts are a bit soft, but the clear bionic arm and legs are nifty.
As a child of the Seventies, Mego action figures were my favorite---you could have DC, Marvel, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, and more all go into action together. Of all the stuff I liked as a kid, only Star Wars and Six Million Dollar Man were absent from Mego production. It means a lot to the 6 year-old kid inside me that Steve can finally stand alongside Capt. Kirk and Superman (and Bigfoot absolutely would have doubled for Shaggy Man to battle my Mego JLA)!

Well, Bigfoot does have that "Andre The Giant" look down good.

Diamond Select Toys is returning to producing 7-inch Star Trek action
figures. The first release depicts Mr. Spock as he appears in the classic
episode "Devil in the Dark", includes a diorama-style display base as well as
interchangeable parts to recreate scenes using that diorama.

Ok, this isn't new by any stretch (came out a year ago), but it's damned cool:
Dragon Wings' 1/72 scale die-cast (not an unpainted model kit!) Apollo 11 diorama, with Eagle LM, Columbia CSM and astronauts (Armstrong and Aldrin, obviously).
Always wanted a little tribute to the legendary Apollo 11 mission in my collection, and with the passing of Mr. Armstrong yesterday, there's no question - that's my birthday present next week sorted, then...

I still have my Six Million Dollar Man action figure from the 70's, along with Maskatron: http://www.plaidstallions.com/smdm/index.html As a funny side note, it seems funny that Big Foot's feet appear to be the same size or smaller than Steve's in your pic!

A group of us went out to lunch, among them Alan Asherman, who would later be the librarian -- Keeper of Bound Volumes! -- for DC. I ordered a cheeseburger, and it came with the lettuce, onions, pickles and top of the bun on one side. Alan pointed to the remaining patty and melted cheese and said "Look! On your plate! It says 'no kill i'!"

Would a silicon-life-based burger be considered a vegetarian meal?
