Longtime Toyark readers may remember a semi-regular column I used to post called Off The Shelf. What exactly is Off The Shelf? This was where I’d gather up random toy, geeky and pop culture news, cool items for sale, photos, and more that we normally don’t cover. In those articles you’d find stuff such as cool shirts, awesome nerdy cakes, cosplay, fun videos, trailers, some statues, toys and a whole lot more. After a hiatus of over four years, I’m bringing it back for another go in 2018! Expect to see more of the same, as well as many great new additions, such as cool fan photos.
Let’s kick this off right with the first Off The Shelf update since 2013! Here are some of the goodies I’ve gathered from around the web. This includes a cool statue from Iron Studios, the newest Black Panther trailer, some fun new shirts, a 1/6 scale figure that’s for adults only, a heavy metal band who has a fun tribute the the Strongest Man in the Universe, news on the US debut of the animated Godzilla movie and much more.
