LEGO DUNE ORNITHOPTER
OUT 1 FEBRUARY If the extended wait for Dune: Part Two has got you in a flap, here is the time-killer you’ve been looking for: a buildable replica of House Atreides’ Royal Ornithopter. Part of the Lego Icons range (ie, way too good for kids), the 1,369-brick set nails the vehicle’s dragonflyderived design, with functional blades that fold out and retract. Spicy touches include a generous eight minifigures, from Paul to Chani to Baron Harkonnen in a robe as long as your living room. Make a landing at lego.com.

SPIDER-MAN POP! COVER
OUT NOW This year marks the 40th year since the debut of Spidey’s black cossie - which turned out to be a deadly alien symbiote who slunk off to bond with Eddie Brock, creating Venom. Talk about a wardrobe malfunction… Funko’s collectible commemorates the symbi-suit’s first appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man issue 252, whose dashing cover is the backdrop to a 12.1cm vinyl bobblehead of nu-Spidey. Get kitted out at funkoeurope.com.

TUBBZ PLUSHIES/ MINI TUBBZ
OUT NOW The collecti-bills market just got bigger with two new breeds of cosplaying duck. Coming in at 50% smaller than standardsized TUBBZ (but arguably twice as cute), Mini TUBBZ are available in six varieties: The Grinch, Sonic, Stay Puft, Minion Bob, Minion Stuart and the shark from Jaws. Bruce is also part of the TUBBZ Plushies range, alongside Spielberg stablemate the T-rex, Optimus Prime, characters from Destiny and, slightly late/super-early for Christmas, Santa Claus.
