First off- some of our newest releases:
We got in the awesome new Funko blind boxed Retro Video Games Mystery Minis which come in awesome arcade cabinet-inspired packaging, it’s been a great year for innovative packaging for blind boxes and I hope the trend continues. The 1/4 scale Batman Returns Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman has arrived in stores and SHE IS AMAZING! Selina Kyle comes with two heads, including one with patches of rooted hair to recreate her end-of-movie look, a whip, several hands and a taser, features a body that feels like vinyl and is poseable. If you were waiting for a nice Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman collectible this one is probably one of the best you could hope for.
Speaking of Funko- all of the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. POP vinyls are in stock, from mainstays like Star-Lord, Rocket, Gamora, Drax and Groot to newbies Ego, Taserface and Mantis plus returning character Nebula, each Guardians POP stands about 4″ tall and features bobble-head action. Also from Funko- Pocket POPs of Star-Lord, Rocket and Groot as well as Rock Candy figures of Gamora and Mantis. Hopefully the toys will keep you entertained till the movie comes out later in the year.
On to the Marvel side of Toy Fair- Diamond Select, Hasbro and Mezco had a ton of product to show off. Diamond had a few new Marvel Select figures including Spider-Gwen, Charlie Cox Daredevil, Homecoming Spider-Man, Star-Lord from Guardians 2, and Lady Deadpool. Spider-Gwen will have an interchangeable piece so you can have her masked and unmasked.
Hasbro won Toy Fair’s Marvel offerings for me. Guardians 2, Spider-Man, plus some exclusives make up this year’s line-up. Characters such as Moon Knight, The Beetle, Tombstone, Jane Foster Thor, Ex Nihilo, Adam Warlock, Cosmic Spider-Man and Death’s Head II will all appear with their comics looks while live-action versions of Spider-Man, Vulture, Gamora, Iron Man, Nebula, Daredevil, Elektra, Punisher, Jessica Jones, Rocket and Star-Lord will fill-up the roster of the regular assortments. Look for the Vulture’s wings and movie Mantis to be the build-a-figures for their respective series. Exclusives include characters such as Dark Phoenix, Mary Jane, She-Hulk, Lady Loki, Sif, Singularity, Photon and Elsa Bloodstone.
Mezco had a pre-Toy Fair event where they revealed their plans for the super-hot 1:12 line of action figures. Marvel characters coming out of this collection include Spider-Man, Charlie Cox Daredevil, Iron Man, Wolverine, Dr Strange and Deadpool. Other offerings include: Popeye, Ash, Gal Gadot Wonder Woman, Margot Robbie Harley Quinn, Darkseid and much more.
NECA showed off a couple of quarter scale figures including Benedict Cumberbatch Dr Strange and comic Daredevil and will reportedly also craft a Spider-Man Homecoming figure though it wasn’t seen at Toy Fair.
Coming soon: Hot Toys Black Panther from Captain America: Civil War should be making his way to us sometime in Mid-March according to my latest update. I anticipate that he will be a hot piece since he was so great in that film. Chewbacca from the Force Awakens should also arrive soon.
That’s it for me this week- next week- odds and ends from Toy Fair and more toy news! See you then!
