If you aren’t excited about Spore, well you should be. This is shaping up to be one of the most revolutionary games ever. Coming from gaming legend Will Wright, of The Sims fame, Spore will let you create almost any creature imaginable. Seriously, the starting template for your creature mostly resembles a blob of Silly Putty or Play Doh. Check out this video of the game (pay attention, you might even see gaming legend Robin Williams!). Well for a small price, Maxis and EA have a program that will let you actually purchase a small figurine of your creature. So whenever your friends come over and comment on it, you can be like “Yeah I created it, what have you been doing?” And then your friend will whip out his and he’ll be like “Yeah, that’s right. My civilization will invade your civilization tonight, just wait for it.” And so the fun ensues.

These new figurines just add a whole new dimension of fun to the game. Hopefully, we will see this on other platforms other than the PC. This game would be Wiitastic! The DS could stand to see a port as well. But in the meantime, you should check out these other figurines that people around the web have come out with.

Here’s the few from Scott Rasoomair of VG Cats (September 5th entry)
