I got a notification from BBTS for cyborg superman being in stock. Rest of the 3 DC essentials from wave 4 aren't yet. Keep a look out if you have preordered. I guess they will be shipping soon.

I didn't see a post for this on the main page, but I may have missed it. Either way, I'll share this here just in case. 
We've got some new images for the My Hero Academia figures coming from McFarlane. Some character descriptions and images of the figures are up on McFarlane(.com) online.

Looks like we'll be getting Midoriya (who I know they've teased before), Bakugo, All Might, and Shigaraki.

At the end of the interview, it's strongly insinuated that Super7 will be creating product from Thundercats! They had prototypes ready to go and brought to the con, but weren't able to show them. Hopefully this means 7" figures, but it might mean Reaction figures instead. I guess we'll see, PowerCon could be the next time we hear about it. Cool stuff!

There is an old saying that comes to mind, "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me". If Super7 announces actually getting the license, that will be news but otherwise its just lip service if you ask me at this point.

Didn't see a post about this so I'll share it here. Apparently WickedCoolToys will handle the Halo Infinite toy line once the game launches I'm assuming. I looked around and it seems all they make is kiddie toys or kiddie looking toys so it'll be interesting what they come out with. Admittedly, I will not hold my breath for action figures. Hopefully the game will do great and we will get some great figures. Not holding my breath though =(

I can't find anyone who's talking about this, but maybe that's because nobody is interested. Anyway, as of Monday 8/26/2019 Gamestop currently has a preorder up for a rerelease of the four vintage Ninja Turtles figures priced at $39.99! Ten bucks each! 

They're slated for release in November of this year.

*EDIT* the page was recently updated with info on these, should've checked there first.

Gamestop exclusive Mattel Jurassic World Amber Collection new figures and packaging revealed.

Thanks but honestly the only thing remotely new here is the packaging which is well packaging. The figures were announced back in July during SDCC and have been up for pre-order on Gamestop's website since then since they are Gamestop exclusives.

Gamestop deal of the day, today 10/23, DC Collectibles Batman/TMNT 2 packs are on sale for $10 off, $39.99 and free shipping.  I picked up the Robin/Raphael pack because I really wanted that Damian Wayne figure and I wasn't willing to pay full price.  The Batman/Leonardo pack is also on sale today!
