Back at NJCC‘s August show, Boss Fight Studio released Fantasy Series wave 4 figures – Vandar the Wandering Warrior and the Gargoyle Castle Faerie. These figs have arrived and pre-orders are being filled. We’ve had them in hand for a bit and figured now was as good a time to share as any since the masses can now get a hold of them!

Both are superb figures and round out the Fantasy line well. Vandar can be any Conan-like warrior, while the Gargole is sharp with an extra non-articulated mini packed in. Both are easily troop built. If you are into the 1/18th or 3.75 inch scale, Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. are top of the line, there isn’t much more to say.

Mezco’s One:12 Collective line of 6″ scale figures has seen a wide mix of licenses since its inception. While the majority of releases seem to focus on Marvel and DC Comics releases, they have been mixing in other genres for fans of the line. Horror themed releases have been a part of Mezco for as long as I can remember. From Cinema of Fear, to Vinyl Figures, to their long running Living Dead Doll line up, Mezco is one of a few mainstream companies that has consistently kept horror collectibles on the market. Their One:12 Collective line of figures has been slowly gaining more and more cult and horror licenses. From Frankenstein, to Evil Dead, to Friday the 13th and Dawn of the Dead, there’s a nice assortment of Horror figures in this fan favorite style.

One of the biggest surprises was when Mezco debuted their Halloween – Michael Myers Figure back at San Diego Comic-Con 2017. It had been some time since a classic style Michael Myers had been on the market, and horror fans were starved for anything they could get their hands on. The figure initially went up for pre-order on Halloween 2017, and has long since been sold out. The figure, though, has now been released and we have a full photo shoot and review. We picked up the figure from sponsor Dorkside Toys. See the photos and more after the jump.

Entertainment Earth has picked up the formerly TRU exclusive Infinity War 3 Pack featuring Thor, Rocket and Teen Groot!  Thor features his eye-patch and is rocking a long Asgardian sword.  Rocket comes packed with dual pistols and a BFG.  Groot is in his teen years – slouchy stance, pouty face and and all.  He also comes with a space iPad, complete with see through screen (sorry, no Space Invaders).  This has been out a bit, but we just got a copy and figured we’d run it and remind folks that it didn’t disappear with the demise of TRU.

Time for another round of Marvel Legends catch up!  Today we are looking and the second part of the Sp//dr wave – Scarlett Spider, House of M Spider-Man, Dr. Octopus, and Sp//dr himself.  While these, and the previous couples are solid, the main pull here is Dr. Octopus.   He’s diesel, well executed, and has solid adjustable arms.  His colors pop and represents a classic comic look perfectly.  Sp//dr when together has a great range of articulation for such a lanky bot.  The Spideys – good catch em all style figs but neither scream epicness.  All in all it was  sharp wave capped with Doc Ock.  Read on to check out over 50 images after the break courtesy of Dorkside Toys!Dorkside Toys

Another round of Marvel Legends catch up galleries starts today!  To kick things off, we are looking at the “couples” from the Spider-Man Sp//dr wave that dropped earlier this year.  Daredevil is rocking his Shadowland-esque suit in black with red highlights.  Elektra is pretty standard in what you’d expect, the sculpt is clean and the colors pop.  It’s a really solid representation for her.  Cloak and Dagger work best as a pair, with the body detaching from Cloak allowing for you to have Dagger popping out from inside.   All in all the four figs are great comic representations and will fill out a shelf nicely.

Time for some more Star Wars Black Series catch up today.  Tucked away in the second Solo wave that was mostly repacks was a gem – bounty hunter 4-Lom.  His other new wave mate was Qi’ra from the Solo movie, in her younger era get up.  Today we are taking a look at both even though they aren’t in the same era or zone of epicness. 4-Lom is sharp, giving us articulated droid arms, great paint and weathering head to toe.  And he helps build out the Empire bounty hunter crew, a long sought goal for many BS6 collectors.  Once they went beyond Boba they had to do it, but they paused for a long while.  With 4-Lom and the ones teased at shows, we will be complete, be patient. :).  Qi’ra is a standard movie-level figure.  Not super exciting as a character or figure, but it is well done for what it is.  Complex sculpt on the jacket and skirt, some weathering and layered paint, digital paint on the head.   Hopefully down the road we’ll get end-game Qi’ra in the dress, and a “Crimson Dawn Leader”.  Now those would be an awesome pair and some Solo figs worthy of attention.

Hot off the presses, just got done shooting and we are dropping a gallery for the entire first wave of Mattel’s DC Multiverse Aquaman Movie wave 1!  The wave consists of 4 figures, with all four giving you the Collect and Connect figure (yes 4, not 6 or 8).  They kicked things off with the heavy hitters, Aquaman, Mera, Black Manta and Orm (aka Ocean Master).   These are the collector level figs, so we get full range of articulation with cuts, twists and rockers where needed.  For the price range of around 20 bucks per fig it’s well above average.  Paint is also above par on all 4, with specific detailing, metallic sheen and weathering.  The stars of the wave are Aquaman and Black Manta though, they really do shine.  Sculpt on both are fantastic, they can hold their own with DC Collectibles and dare I even say the Japanese imports, especially when you factor in price.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this wave, and had a fun round of shooting with them.  Now I gotta go get a mop and clean up. Read on to check out over 95 HD images of them all courtesy of Mattel!

Today we have a look at the three newest figures in the Hiya Toys Aliens: Colonial Marines line up. If you missed it, we recently shared a photo shoot of the Crusher Alien and the Raven Alien, which make perfect companion pieces for this release. The newest figures include Captain Jeremy Cruz, Private Bella Clarison, and Private Jennifer Redding. These 1/18 scale figures stand roughly 3.75″ tall, making them perfect for fans of figures such as G.I. Joe. Each figure is packed with a figure stand and character appropriate weapons. The figures should be hitting retail outlets very soon, and are priced about $20 each.

Hiya Toys sent along the figures for us to review. After the jump, see the photo shoot and our thoughts on the figures.

Time to take a look at another Star Wars Black Series store exclusive – Bespin Escape Princess Leia!  This one has been in and out quick, I’ve personally yet to find her in the wild.  However, our friends over at Dorkside Toys have been able to secure limited stock so if you want to skip the hunt, hit them up.  This Leia is using the base body from the Hoth piece due out (officially) later this year sans jacket, with an alternate head to match her hair style in that part of the movie.  She comes with an Imperial Blaster seen with the Stormtroopers.   The face sculpt is on point, the new digital printing is on point.  Even close up you are hard to find pixelation, and it really makes the eyes pop which is the key to bringing these figures to life on our shelves.  Bottom line, it’s a core character in a core look at makes a great trip down nostalgia lane when you pair up with existing BS6 figures.  Now all we need is Bespin Han without his jacket :)  I had a blast shooting her so read on to check out over 30 HD pics of them all escaping from Bespin!

Star Wars Black Series is all over the place right now with late waves, store exclusives and hard to find figures.  Today we are taking a look at some of the exclusives floating around.  Admiral Piett is an online exclusive, available at several stores including site sponsor Entertainment Earth.  General Veers uses his same base body but adds ground assault gear to rep his Empire Hoth attack look, and he’s exclusive to Walgreens.  The Gamorrean Guard came out a bit ago, and is a Target exclusive.   There is also a Mimban Trooper exclusive to Wal Mart and Bespin Escape Leia over at Target (which we will look at later, in progress).  And that’s just what’s relatively new, there were several other exclusives earlier in the year, including cancelled TRU ones that half leaked out.  Couple this with a new Solo Wave that is out, but not even online for Pre-Order and tons of shown but not solicited items at Toy Fair and SDCC, and woofa.  It’s the wild west out here.

We are going to try and run some catch up here with a look at Piett, Veers and the Gamorrean Guard.  All 3 are OT and well done, worthy of a pick up.  While the Imperial ranked officers make sense to litter around as exclusives, the Guard being exclusive is crazy, especially since he’s a troop builder.  And awesome.  Great paint, fur that doesn’t suck, accessories – it’s a winner.  Hopefully he gets a modified but wider release later.
