Hasbro is prepping for ToyFair next month and have already revealed some of their 6″, 12″, 3.75″,  and 2.5″ figures coming in 2016.

Spidey's Back In Black and He's Bringing The Sandman With Him Too...

Despite the new Spider-Man movie reboot in theaters, Hot Toys continues to produce figures from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy, mainly pulling from Spider-Man 3, which still rings pretty rotten in my mind. But even with Spider-Man 3 not living up to my expectations, figures and characters in toy form can become whatever you want them to be. With their Movie Masterpiece Series #165, Hot Toys gives us Spider-Man in his black symbiote suit that is excellently made and they also sweeten the deal by including a Sandman diorama base and a alternate portrait of Peter Parker as played by Tobey Maguire.

The Bat Is Back...

The Batman/ Bruce Wayne collectible is newly developed and highly detailed, specially crafted based on the image of Christian Bale as the iconic character Batman/ Bruce Wayne, highlighting the movie-accurate head sculpt, Parallel Eyeball Rolling System (PERS) on Batman’s head, specially made fabric costume with armor based on the costume design in the movie, weapons and accessories.

Joker's Number One Gal Strikes A Pose...

Kotobukiya’s Bishoujo Statue line has been a huge hit with comic book fans, and for good reason. We all love statues of pretty ladies, but there’s only so many you can collect before they all start looking the same. Koto, however, takes the traditional female superheroes and villains of the DC Comics universe and reinvents them in the unique Japanese Bishoujo (“pretty girl”) style as imagined by famed illustrator Shunya Yamashita. The ever-growing collection has brought such heavenly bodies as Supergirl, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, and more. Today we’ll take a look at the next member of this elite club due out next month, the popular and irascible Harley Quinn!

Dead (?) and Alive: The Hound and Brienne of Tarth...

While all eyes are currently on The Walking Dead (and everyone's mind on the new Star Wars movie), HBO's Game of Thrones is still a force to be reckoned with. Five seasons strong, Game of Thones is the best sword-swinging series on television (something the Bastard Executioner can't say), with legions of fans eagerly awaiting Season 6's premiere in April. When it comes to Game of Thrones collectibles, figures in particular, Dark Horse now leads the pack, long leaving Funko's Legacy Collection trailing in the dust with character selection. Dark Horse appears to be in it for the long haul, a very good thing for GOT fans wanting to collect every major character on the show - dead or alive.

It's all in the suitcase...

 

For the past couple of years now, Hot Toys has been producing one amazing Iron Man collectible after another and they just keep getting better with each new release. The latest 1:6th scale collectible figure to join the Iron Man line is none other than the most complex of all the Iron Man suits from Iron Man 2, the Mark V. This one-of-kind armor cleverly transforms into a compact briefcase - handy for getting Tony Stark out of unexpected jams.

"Roger roger." - Battle Droid

 

 Sideshow Collectibles and Star Wars have been a force to be reckoned with for a while but due to the scale and assortment of characters, it’s been a seemingly longer time before the many Clone Troopers have had a target to shoot at. Now available through Sideshow and other online retailers are the Infantry Battle Droids, the “inferior” army of robots introduced in Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace. I for one loved Doug Chiang’s designs for Episode I and especially of the Battle Droids. The skeletal frail bodies make it understandable why an army of these droids wouldn’t stand the test of time but after getting Sideshow’s take, we can almost get a sense of how they could work in the real world.

Jack Nicholson's iconic 1989 comic movie role comes to life in 1/6th scale...

Hot Toys continues to impress fans and collectors both new and old with their impressive line of Deluxe Movie Masterpiece Series (MMS) figures, which feature more accessories and details than the company's regular MMS series. The latest 1/6th scale figure in the series comes courtesy of the 1989 classic Tim Burton film BATMAN starring Michael Keaton as the titular character and Jack Nicholson as his archenemy, Joker. Of course, the Hot Toys DX series includes both characters and many fans who purchased the previously released Batman figure have been waiting anxiously for Joker, who's unique in both look and style.

The Return of Batman's Sweet Ride...

This massive vehicle was originally released back in 2008 in support of the film The Dark Knight, but it has now been reissued as part of Hot Toys' The Dark Knight Rises collection. If you missed the Bat-Pod the first time, it's a great opportunity to purchase it without resorting to outrageous secondary market prices.

This vehicle is in-stock now through Hot Toys' official North american distributor, Sideshow Collectibles. It is priced at $274.99 with a payment plan available.

The Coolest Couple Of A-Holes In The Galaxy...

Guardians of the Galaxy is a property I love. I’ve been reading their adventures in comics for years (since the birth of the modern team coming out of the “Annihilation” events), and 2014’s blockbuster film awesomely made my favorite characters like Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and the rest household names and cultural icons. Before the movie Guardians toys were relatively infrequent, but ever since there’s been a deluge ranging from Hasbro’s mass market items to specialty and import collectibles. In general I stick to small-scale toys, mainly collecting the 3 ¾ inch scale, but for my Guardians I’ve expanded into bigger and bigger... and they don’t get much bigger and more impressive than Hot Toys’ fantastic 1/6th action figures. Today I’ll be sharing a look at the Hot Toys Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket & Groot two-pack, quite possibly the be all and end all collectible for these two characters packed with fun accessories, interchangeable parts, and of course industry-leading sculpts.

Natasha Romanova Joins The Team...

The Avengers continue to assemble with Hot Toy's realistic collection of 1:6 scale Marvel movie action figures, their latest release being BLACK WIDOW. Played by Scarlett Johansson in last summer's hit motion picture, this figure features Natasha Romanova in her form-fitting stealth suit along with movie-accurate weapons. Check out our video review below.

You'll believe a man can fly...

Amid high anticipation, Sideshow Collectibles and Hot Toys are proud to present the Superman 12-inch Figure from the 1978 classic superhero film Superman. The movie-accurate Superman collectible is specially crafted based on the image of Christopher Reeve as The Man of Steel, highlighting the authentic head sculpt, movie-accurate costume and figure stage imitating the Fortress of Solitude.

This set represents Christopher Reeve in the 1978 movie Superman.

Square Enix Gives The Dark Knight a Cool Metallic Makeover...

 This 10-inch tall exclusive figure, based on Batman's look in The Dark Knight Rises, is priced at $64.99 and limited to only 1000 pieces created. The figure comes with alternate sets of hands, various weapons, and a display stand.

A Party In A Half Shell...

When it comes to action figures and the playsets they inhabit, one common problem is that the playset always looks like a mess. Second problem is that they take up so much space when not in use. And a third optional problem is, “I don’t have enough giant turtles in my house”. Playmates Toys has attempted to solve all of these issues in one go with their latest GIANT LEONARDO PLAYSET, part of their continuing “Mutations” line-up in the successful Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brand.

They Call Me The Wanderer...
