IncrediBots...

Insight Editions has recently embarked on a series of book/model sets called IncrediBuilds. As part of that series are these new, posable wooden action figures that you build yourself. Each one is accompanied with a book that I wrote to help the builder learn a bit more about the hero they're assembling.

Spider-Man comes with a comic book adventure, a sort of Toy Story approach that explores what it would be like if the Bot was a living toy, going on adventures in the real world. DC opted for a different approach for their book, so Batman comes with a brief history of the character as he appears in the monthly comic books. Both were a blast to do, and I have another in the Marvel series that should be released in a few months.

The design of these little guys is great, so if you're looking for a good quarantine activity, they certainly fit the bill. The books even come with suggestions on how to paint your IncrediBot if you're feeling really adventurous. You can find these two at your local book shop, or by clicking here for Spidey and here for Batman.
