OUT APRIL (TBC) To paraphrase Peter Venkman: so, she’s a duck. A cosplaying duck, to be exact; yes, Dana Barrett has joined the TUBBZ range, alongside three other key players from the 1984 film: Terror Dog/Duck, Gozer and Louis Tully (complete with colander helmet). The new intake brings the full Ghostbusters line-up to 15, each one made from high-quality PVC and standing roughly 9cm tall (aside from XL Stay Puft) outside of their tub display stand. Waddle over to numskull.com.
OUT NOW This year marks the 25th anniversary not only of a certain prequel, but of the union between Lego and Lucasfilm. And to celebrate, the constructiontoy king is bringing out several new Star Wars sets, including new builds based on the Millennium Falcon and General Grievous’ Invisible Hand ship; two takes on the Tantive IV (exterior/interior); and a 1,050-piece, 24cm-high R2-D2. Upping their collectibility, the sets boast 25th-anniversary branding and a few mini-figure exclusives.
If there’s a bright centre to the universe, it’s surely lego.com.

OUT NOW Built for adults, this tribute to the OG Disney princess includes 10 mini-figures (Snow White, the Dwarfs, the Prince and the Queen), six animal figures, a cottage with removable roof, wishing well and, last but not least, Ms. White’s (temporary) glass coffin. You might need a lie-down yourself after building this 2,228-piece set (which measures 20x35x20cm) - but you’ll also be glowing like the light-brick-powered hearth. Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, now off to lego.com you go.
OUT NOW ‘Come over here, kid, learn something. You start with a little bit of oil. Then you fry some garlic. Then you throw in a jar of Heinz’s The Godfather Pasta Sauce…’ Yes, you can now recreate the legendary Michael-getsa-cooking-lesson scene from Coppola’s classic, thanks to this new limited-edition sauce, made from sun-ripened Italian Heinz tomatoes. For an encore, how about a Godfather Part II celebration cake? Or a Part III cannoli (hold the poison)? Pore over heinztohome.co.uk.
