Shown below is the new Sexy Ice 2019 VERMIN Series Artificial Evolution B0200 Locust Arcidid 1/12 Scale Action Figure, now up for pre-order at retailers including our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com. Product Description: "I won't stop until I die!" "Locust" was originally a test subject at the Artificial Evolution Research Institute; its specific designation number remains unknown due to missing records. In March 2031, an EAE advance team discovered its remains within a "cocoon chamber" in Antarctica and re-registered it as B0200, following the Institute's sequential numbering system. Following the formulation of the Daedalus Project, EAE utilized the remains as a foundation for mechanical modification. Under the "Sufferer Project," EAE transplanted spinal cord tissue from a pilot who was in a near-death state into the insectoid body, restoring only basic vital signs. Subsequently, a CP-v7 sample was harvested and grafted into the transplanted spinal tissue. Using the A010 substrate, the consciousness structure was reconstructed to form a model that closely mirrored the original pilot's behavioral patterns; this served as the "Basic Operation Mode" (A-Mode). Later, two additional operators underwent fusion with the samples and internal receptors within the insectoid body, leading to the development of B-Mode and C-Mode. The original neural synchronization algorithm was upgraded to a polymorphic neural synchronization algorithm, making Locust the first bio-mechanical composite capable of being operated by multiple pilots in rotation. By alternating between these three modes, the unit achieves sustained operational capability across virtually all environmental conditions.

I'd so down for this McDonaldland line. I wish we were getting the older Hamburglar though.

Shown below is the new Sexy Ice 2019 VERMIN Series EAE Zatard Hound (Tactical Support Type Ver.) 1/12 Scale Limited Edition Action Figure, now up for pre-order at retailers including our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com. Product Description: The dogs of war never surrender! The Zattard Hound Tactical Support Variant is a specialized support model modified by the EAE based on the standard Zattard Hound. Officially adopted alongside the standard model, it is primarily assigned to UNKVAL combat units to perform escort and support duties. In actual combat, it typically deploys 50 to 100 meters behind UNKVAL platoons, providing sustained fire cover or area suppression. Additionally, the Tactical Support Variant retains the sensing and tracking capabilities of the standard Zattard Hound, allowing it to also undertake logistics transport and forward reconnaissance missions.

Yeah, Countdown Superboy/man Prime is not a variant I expected in wave 1, but it's a striking visual, and easy repaint, so I get the reasoning for it. I have the DC Superheroes version, so this may be an upgrade...

Agree to disagree there then! Though I'm always in favor of more Horde...

Just looked it up, yeah, those reveals are crazy! That black suit Superman is actually Superboy Prime when he was calling himself Superman Prime. Odd choice, as is starting with Earth 2 Superman alongside him, but they do both look great. I'm actually tempted to try and get Kal-L and that Wonder Woman. The Absolute figures also all look good, and I love that Batman and Robin they showed off

Here we have to disagree. Every New Adventures character wasted a slot. I remember being so irritated when they were announced. And there were so many Filmation/Club Grayskull figures left on the table (neither Mattel nor Super7 ever did a Filmation Horde Trooper for example).

BigBadWorkShop has revealed the Sleepwalkers: Knights of the Black Forest, a new Operation: Monster Force exclusive for LegionsCon 2026. Check out their full announcement below. LegionsCon 2026 Exclusive! SLEEPWALKERS: KNIGHTS OF THE BLACK FOREST Operation: Monster Force has battled numerous Sleepwalkers from Doctor Caligari’s forces. Some have jetpacks, others use high-yield energy weapons, but the thing they all have in common is the Xeiss gas that fills their masks and keeps them in a semi-sleep hypnosis. The continual nightmare they experience makes them dangerous opponents on the battlefield, following orders without question. But when Operation: Monster Force agents discover a secret bunker in the Black Forest, they come face to face with a new kind of Sleepwalker designed to protect Caligari’s oldest secrets! Their unit designation: The Knights of the Black Forest! And they can do something no other Sleepwalker’s done before… …They can speak.

I stand corrected on the waves being small. If those leaks are correct, there are a lot of figures in the January waves. The details seem to be lacking compared to Hush Batman, but I can't imagine I will pass on Wonder Woman and Absolute Catwoman.

Okay, so now we have the pics of the DC Legacy line! They look pretty good to me. Makes sense that they'd go into the Absolute line as heavy as they have - doing gangbusters for DC on the sales side - but I'm guessing they're holding Superman and Wonder Woman back for a second wave of them? The comic-based ones look nice - very Perez Wonder Woman which is nice, Green Lantern looks good, I like the black Suit Superman and again, I'm not surprised but glad to see the most recent Batman & Robin designs being used there - gives a reason to get them for an old time DCUC collector. A lot of heavy hitters in the first wave or two, plus Build A Figures/Collect 'n Connect as well? The next question is going to be how much they're going to retail for with all that stuff... So, are the accessory reveals we saw earlier for the DC Ultimates then?

I was honestly disappointed that we didn't get a full run of New Adventures in MOTU Classics. I get that the scifi aspects of MOTU doesn't get as much love as the barbarian stuff, but bringing them into any 'unified' line is a good thing.

The swordlooks like Pacemaker's sword from the first suicid squad movie. And there was a listing for an ultimate edition peacemaker in the dc line. Though, now that i think of it maybe some crossbanding thing with wwe line.

I will be interested in those too man...

That is a must have for me. Gimmicky? Sure! But it combines two of my favorite things. What a great reveal.

Yeah, I did also consider it could be Captain Cold as well, but it seems like they're starting with mostly Batman related characters, so I feel like Freeze is a bit more likely. And if they are going for more original designs, rather than based on specific comic versions, I'm not necessarily against that, so long as they don't stray too far, and if they still do a mix of original designs, and stuff based on specific comics. Considering they Batman they showed off is based on Hush, I feel like that's the likely route

I think that the far simpler answer is that there not supposed to compete with McFarlane right now by making a bunch of their own announcements.

What does “an Alliance exclusive” mean? Is that a store?

Get a hands on look at the new Mattel DC Premium Batman Hush Figure with Rooftop Bat-Signal Diorama Set including the figure articulation. This figure is available for pre-order now on the MattelCreation website. The rest of the Mattel DC Collector line will be revealed on January 1st, 2027.

BMFM Dredd is a perfect crossover concept! I assume there'll be a comic to accompany that closer to the time, but that figure just looks very cool!

Yeah, Deathstroke seems a lock from those accessories and the grappling hook is absolutely a Bat-family member so I'd hazard Nightwing as the most likely after Batman himself. As for the hi-tech gun, I first thought Captain Cold for some reason. Looks a bit more pistol-y than what I would usually think of for Mr. Freeze. Either way, I wonder if that means that we're going with toy company-created designs rather than something from the comics themselves? Honestly, I'm surprised that we still have so little in terms of concrete information on this line. Given that we're nearly two years out on the announcement that Mattel was getting the license, I can't help but wonder if they didn't think they were going to get it so have been running behind on getting the collector line up and running the whole time since then? Two years is apparently the usual development time for a figure line, so it kinda seems like they got the license and *then* started on the whole process rather than having things halfway running already with concepts/designs/prelim sculpts etc already done as part of the pitch...

Im priced outon this one. But if that's how the rest of their figures look...im in trouble

My takes so far...love the judge dredd. And I don't even follow that franchise. I agree genes legs are oddly proportioned but I love the set, even though its not for me its really cool. Im hoping darkwing duck by neca is affordable. And finally, that Looney Tunes reveal is a sleeper. I hope its true, awesome, and affordable. I cant believe we've never had good looney tunes toys.

The proportions of Gene's legs look significantly off to me, but I'm not entirely sure it's inaccurate. Regardless, I love the very thought of this set! Plus it's a neat pre-use of the captain's chair from the Build-The-Bridge line!

Holey Moley - in NZ dollars, that's running nearly $250 which is enough to buy 5 Marvel Legends, and that's even before shipping! Think I'll hold off on this one for a sale. A *big* sale... In terms of what's offered, yeah, the diorama aspect is very cool, especially with the customizable aspects. Don't know if the misting feature is all that worthwhile for the price push it presumably causes, but that's I guess that's something we really need to see in operation before making the call there. Batsignals are always fun and it's nice to get a piece of essential 'props' this early in the line. I am surprised how few accessories Batman himself has, but maybe they're holding that sort of thing back for the regular figure releases. I half expected this to be the Mattel Maximum line but clearly not the approach they're taking with this figure at least. Batman himself looks good to me. The shading might be a little heavy handed, but it's acceptable. The choice of Hush Batman isn't that surprising since he's become probably as ubiquitous as the Jim Lee X-Men suits as a 'default' Batman. Not sold on cloth capes, but that's a personal preference rather than a fault of the figure. Overall, it's both a bold statement of what they can do, but also plays it very safe in terms of the character selection and presentation of that core figure. I'm not quite as intrigued as I was before seeing this, but it's a solid enough start that I'm interested to see what we get from here from Mattel's DC.

Good point!
