Wand, Optimus, Tom and Jerry, Stooges, Lantern, Snoopy and Avengers



I love Running Press’s Mega Mini Kits! This time around Running Press presents seven new Kits that are sure to impress miniature figurines and books lovers.
 
Harry Potter fans are sure to get a magical kick out the miniature Wizard’s Wand brandished by Harry in the Potter films.  Four screw-in pieces quickly assemble to make the Wand and a special Harry Potter Sticker Book is also included.

All of the Running Press Mega Mini Kits feature high quality sculpted and painted pieces, colorful books or sticker books and even a few “surprises”.  Each Kit is contains a small box decorated with art and photos and several feature clear front panels, flip open panels and other clever devices.

An Optimus Prime bust fashioned after the animated Autobot comes with an illustrated book and here’s what’s really exciting-the figure talks!

Simply flip a button and Optimus Prime’s eyes light up and he utters several all too familiar Transformer phrases.

One of my favorite series of cartoons I watched as a child were the Tom and Jerry shorts.  The exploits of the cat and mouse team were slapstick, hilarious and frenzied.

Running Press presents two bendable Tom and Jerry figures so you can pose them much as they appeared in the classic cartoons.

The Three Stooges are a known for their irreverent and often pseudo-violent humor.  What better way to present the Stooges than as human counterparts to the famous See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Speak No Evil monkeys?

Known for their illogical and often times non-sensical behavior the Stooges are presented as philosophers of life complete with philosophical phrases and advice in the accompanying book.
For a few years Green Lantern was my favorite DC Comics super hero. The Rebirth, Darkest Night and Brightest Day storylines that ran through the Green Lantern titles changed the face of comic books

Get ready to power up with a Green Lantern Ring that actually pulsates with green light!  Throw in a book about the history of the Green Lanterns and you’ve got one powerful combination.
Snoopy and his feathered friend Woodstock are the favorite characters of readers of the Peanuts comic strip.

Both adorable figures are included in Running Press’s Mega Mini Kit along with a book about the ins and outs of friendship.

Captain America is the star of The Avengers Kit.  Cap is immortalized in a small statuette and comes with a history of The Avengers mini-book and an Avengers metal badge.  Avengers Assemble!

Regardless of your likes, Running Press has the Mega Mini Kit for you.  Be sure to pick out your favorites wherever fine books are sold.
