Also on display at Toy Fair 2017 was a slew of McFarlane Toys Building Sets. They had new items in existing licenses and some new licenses announced too! Included are:
- Five Night’s at Freddy’s
- South Park
- Steven Universe
- Rick and Morty
You’ll also notice some newly stylized figures with those sets. McFarlane adjusted some of the pieces to be more unique and allow them to look more accurate to their cartoon counterparts. See the photos after the jump.

Also, news on updated articulation coming to the 7" scale figures line!

Oh wow, Steven Universe figures that aren't pop vinyls.
They should change their name to McFarlane Statues...
Will the Saitama and the Attack on Titan figures be their typical half assed articulation or will they actually articulate? And is that Negan(?) and Glenn two-pack going to be articulated or are they statues?
I like the look of their Saitama. Hopefully he's just an early prototype and will be one of the ones released with the updated articulation. If so and he sells well, I'd like to see them do somemore OPM figures, like Genos, Bang, Sonic, and Tornado.
That Mikasa is depressing.
Why do the South Park figures all look way too skinny and tall? You'd think they would be the easiest figures ever to sculpt. Way to go, Todd.
NECA wih the claptraps, McFarlane with Tiny Tina/Handsome Jack... has ANYONE ever released the Vault Hunters?
I don't really have a problem with McFarlane sticking with their staction figures. Personally, I don't play with them and I really don't think they are targeting kids (not that adults don't sometimes "play" with their figures) They are bought for my collection for the sole purpose of their shelf presence. It's what they did well, very well, in the 2000's. The difference now is the lack of dynamic posing. It seems like every figure now is just more or less standing up right...a casual pose for the camera, if you will. The dynamic poses of old are what keep the old Spawn, etc. figures so appealing even after all these years.
And yes, give us more One Punch Man!!
Just read that Genos has been confirmed to be in development alongside Saitama, so we'll at least get the main two OPM characters from them.
Also read that they've apparently hinted at doing a Ghost in the Shell Major figure, supposedly one based on the live-action movie. I was kinda hopinf Neca would make a figure of her, but I'll take what I can get. Hopefully if they're actually making her she'll have the updated articulation.
