Last month we first told you about a new DC Multiverse Mega Bane single release figure coming from McFarlane Toys that we had seen a listing for in the Target system. Today McFarlane seems to have released a teaser image of that figure to help promote their new online store which will launch next week. From this new image it does appear that this will be a re-issue of the previous Last Knight On Earth Bane Build-A-FIgure. The Target DPCI# is 087-16-5912 and the price is $39.99.

After wading in a puddle of radioactive waste, four radical reptiles were transformed into New York City’s greatest crime-fighting quartet. Of course even the best team knows the value of a worthy ally, like former hockey player (and all-around sports enthusiast) Casey Jones. Featuring the likeness of Elias Koteas, this 7" scale action figure comes fully equipped with makeshift weapons in his war against crime! Includes hockey sticks, golf club, golf bag, baseball bats, cricket bat, masked and unmasked heads, mask, and 4 pairs of interchangeable hands. Five-panel window box packaging with opening front flap. Look for this to start hitting Walmart shelves very soon.

I was thinking if this will be one of the main ways they start selling their DC Direct stuff.

everywhere.

Besides the new 6" Plasma Series Ghostbusters Afterlife figures we told about yesterday, Hasbro also has an assortment of more kids oriented product for the movie coming as well which is called Fright Feature figures. They are doing figures for the characters from the new movie as well as those from the original looking younger as they did in the original movie. Some of these were actually originally shown off back during the 2020 Toy Fair and were originally slated to be released in 2021, but then got delayed due to the pandemic. There is a total of 8 figures being released so far in the line, 4 from the new movie and 4 from the original movie. There is also an Ecto-1 vehicle being offered in the line. While these should eventually be available everywhere, they are currently starting to hit physical Target stores now. The DPCI# for the figures assortment is 087-16-7927 Item# E95445L00. The DPCI# for the Ecto-1 is 087-16-8837 Item #E9563. There is no embargo date on these as far as I can tell and you will likely see them out after your store finishes their toy isle reset which for most stores is taking place this week.

Every toy company seems to have their own direct store these days and it looks like McFarlane Toys will soon be joining the club. Today Todd McFarlane teased this images with a link to Mcfarlanetoysstore.com. When you click on the link it takes you to a page with a countdown clock, which as I type this is has just over 6 days left on it. Based on the sticker Todd posted I think it's safe to assume they will be launching the site with at least one exclusive, perhaps another Spawn figure??? When more details become available we will pass them on to you.

no rumor, there is a second animated series for MOTU coming to Netflix which will be done with CGI and made more for the kids.

Back in May we saw some images leak out for a couple of the figures in Mattel's line of Masters of the Universe products based on the second Netflix animated series that will be CGI and made more for the kids. That series will be called He-Man And The Masters of the Universe. Well now we have found some listings in the Target system which may be for this new line. They are simply listed as Masters of the Universe Animated. There are core figures that will cost $9.99 each and then we found some figure and vehicle sets that are $19.99. We can't say with 100% certainty these listings are for figures based on the new series, but that seems the most likely bet at this time. The DPCI# for the core figures are 087-16-7074 and for the figure and vehicle sets the DPCI# is 087-16-5498. Even if these aren't based on the new Netflix CGI series by some chance, based on the prices this has to be some kind of kids line. So far we have only seen listings for He-Man and Skeletor and no idea what kind of vehicles they will come with. It's possible the leaked images from May showed us the core He-Man and core Skeletor figures . No release date on these were listed at this time.

Shown below via Issac Wong are in-hand images for the new DC Multiverse 7" Batman: Curse Of The White Knight Bat-Cycle vehicle from McFarlane Toys. You can purchase this now from our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com.

I have to wonder assuming these are based on the 80 movie that if because they are Origins and likely wouldn't have headsculpts that look that much like the actors would allow them essentially circumvent any kind of likeness rights issues that might have prevented them doing them before with a line like Classics?

Storm Collectibles today teased that they will be doing 1/12 scale Mortal Kombat figures based on the most recent movie. Stay-tuned for more details when they become available.

We have found some interesting listings in the Target system for Masters of the Universe Origins Movie He-Man and Skeletor figures. We are making an assumption that these would be figures based on the 1987 live-action movie that featured Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and Frank Langella as Skeletor. These figures seem to share the same DPCI# as the other regular figures in the line. When we learn more details about these we will be sure to pass the info on to you.

Thanks to toystoredreamer who posted scans from the latest Previews magazine we have our first look at the DC Multiverse 7" White Knight Batman Vs Azreal In Batman Armor 2-pack from McFalrane Toys. The Azreal looks like an exact re-release of the single release version. Batman has had his cape removed and has two swords and sword sheaths. You also get the flame diorama base. This will cost $39.99. The other images are of the Reverse Flash, Lobo and Superboy Prime figures that McFarlane released some images of last week.

Well its a store exclusive so I think it will probably fair well.

NECA has released new final package images for their TMNT: Turtles in Time Pirate Rocksteady & Bebop 2-Pack which will be out soon. You can purchase this set at our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com.

Shown below via CNET are images for Hasbro's new 6" Plasma Series figures based on the new Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie which just saw a new trailer release today. The figures shown include Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Raymond Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) Trevor (Finn Wolfhard from Stranger Things), Lucky (Celeste O'Connor) and Podcast (Logan Kim). Each figure will come with a piece of a Sentinel Terror Dog action figure you'll be able to build if you collect them all. Hasbro also said new character Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) will be added to the toy line later in 2021. The figures will cost $23 each and the movie hits theaters on Nov. 11, 2021.

Thats pretty much how I read it. Smaller production runs of things which almost guarantee's higher cost. The upside here is this might allow them to do something more than just Batman for action figures, but I would bet they will be more expensive then regular DC Multiverse figures. I could also see them maybe doing more of the artsy kind of figures as opposed to traditional looking characters.

Looks like Gozer is back and it will be up to some kids to stop them.
