The weekend is upon us and what better way to slack off than by checking out the Friday edition of Toyark: Off the Shelf, our round-up of news, tidbits, fun and off-topic stuff that we didn’t post of the front page of Toyark.com. Today we have a few Star Wars items, including a bizarre and awesome barware set. Also, we have a few videos showing a LEGO Hogwart’s being built, a classic toy commercial compilation and look at the Wolf Predator statue. We also have a seriously impressive Lego Batman Cake and a whole lot more.
Read on to see what we have today. NECA has announced that they have acquired the license for Yu-Gi-Oh. They will be creating Heroclix based on the franchise.
