Double Dragon Arcade Marquee

Welcome to a new limited run article series, I’m calling “Figures Wanted” where I’ll take a nostalgic look at some personal favorite films, video games, TV shows, and cartoon series that are sorely in need of new collectibles (in my opinion). This is a feature I’ve mulled over for some time. So long, in fact, that some brands that would have made the list at the beginning of 2019, are now in line for collectibles of their own. Some of these brands will, of course, have had toys and collectibles released in the past. While others, sadly, have yet to have any meaningful collectibles released. With revivals of classic brands still the running theme in entertainment, it’s sometimes disappointing to see which brands are passed over, or whose licensing rights are either too expensive, or too problematic to tackle.

In each update, I’ll talk a bit about the license itself, the story, and the characters. I’ll list core characters or concepts that would translate best into the collectible world, and then which (if any) companies would best be suited to handle the licenses. These opinions, of course, are my own, and I welcome our readers to share what they would like to see from each of these brands or who they’d like to see take them on.

In my first entry, I’ll be talking about my personal most wanted line of figures; the Double Dragon video game series.

Mafex Wick 2 46

Tell them all. Whoever comes, I’ll kill them. I’ll kill them all.  John Wick movies have been some of my favorite non sci-fi, non-hero based movies in recent memory, and the merch keeps coming!  We shot MAFEX’s first release (see our first John Wick gallery here), along with DST’s John Wick Select, and now we have MAFEX’s entry for John Wick Chapter 2.  This version is very similar to the first body wise, with slightly better head sculpts and paint.  He also comes with Dog, not a dog, but Dog, proper which he picked up at the end of the first movie.  His look is an all black suit with white shirt and tie this time, matching his look for much of the second movie.  Weapons include a shotgun, rifle, 2 pistols and an extra hand with a pencil.  A f*****g pencil! 

All in all it’s a solid release, and copping depends on your scale.  Mafex is a small 1/12, while DST is a very large 7 inch scale.  So pick your poison.  Read on to check out over 45 HD images showing his skills courtesy of Entertainment Earth! He’s in stock and shipping now!

Injustice Doomsday Storm 14

Storm Collectibles have released official images of the Injustice: Gods Among Us – Doomsday Figure.  The 1/12 scale beast will come in at 10.25 inches tall, come with 2 head sculpts and 3 pairs of hands.  He’s due to release in Q1 2020.  Pricing is set for $95 USD.  You can pre-order direct from Storm by Clicking Here. Read on to check out the official pics!

DOOMSDAY is a rampaging, seemingly mindless, murdering monster who killed Superman. He is the result of Kryptonian genetic engineering gone awry. In “The Death of Superman” comic storyline in which he first appeared, Doomsday mysteriously bashed his way out of a metallic holding cell miles underground, dug his way up, and began senselessly killing and destroying everything he saw. His motives were initially unknown, but his nature was obvious; He was incredibly powerful, merciless, and seemingly unstoppable. He easily defeated the justice league before confronting Superman.  (Source from: Wikipedia)

Features:

  • 260mm Tall Doomsday Original-Designed Body
  • 2 x Interchangeable Doomsday’s Head sculpt
  • 3 x Pairs of Interchangeable Hand

Release Date: Q1 2020

A scavenger toughened by life in Jakku’s harsh deserts, Rey has been drawn into a galaxy-spanning conflict and learned that her life is being shaped by the mysterious power of the Force.

The new droid D-O features detailed mechanical designs, articulations, and finely applied weathering effects!
