From the movie “Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color”, GODZILLA [2023] MINUS COLOR Ver. is joining S.H. MonsterArts line! Stay-tuned for more information soon.

The new McFarlane Toys 6" Movie Maniacs Fallout figures featuring Vault Boy, The Ghoul, Maximus and Lucy are available for pre-order from our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth as well as Amazon with a suggested retail price of $24.99 each. Vault Boy which is a Gold Label figure is available on McFarlaneToysStore.com and Amazon. The one on Amazon is sold out. There is also A Amazon exclusive 3-pack with Lucy, Maximus and The Ghoul. It is suggested that the Maximus figure in the three-pack will include and alternate un-helmeted Maximus head. However in a video Todd McFarlane posted he also shows a Platinum Edition Maximus without the helmet but doesn't actually make any mention of it. So right now the assumption is that if you want the un-helmeted head you either have to get the 3-pack or hope you can find the Platinum Edition chase figure.

Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them. From executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the creators of Westworld, starring Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins and more. All episodes arrive April 11 on Prime Video.

Shown below are the official images for the upcoming Star Wars Black Series 6" Mandalorian Nite Owl and R4-6D0 figures from Hasbro. Both figures will be available next week starting at 10am ET on 10/14 for the Walmart Collector Con event. The figures will cost $24.99 each.

Commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of "Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla," M.O.G.U.E.R.A. joins S.H.MonsterArts! Featuring colors designed to evoke its appearance in the epic night battle of Fukuoka, options let you display it with plasma maser cannons open, or in flight mode. A spiral grenade missile effect is included as well. And it even includes a newly sculpted dock that opens just like on screen, letting you re-create the awesome launch sequence! You can pre-order this from our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com.

Now available for pre-order on Amazon are the new McFarlane Toys 6" Movie Maniacs Fallout figures. The first wave includes Vault Boy, The Ghoul, Maximus and Lucy. Each figure costs $24.99 each. Accessories include an environmental base, collectible art card, backdrop and secret bonus item. These are based on the Amazon series. I believe these will also be available tomorrow (3/7) at 12pm ET at places like our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and EntertainmentEarth.

Shown below via HyperShauta is what appears to be our first look at a upcoming G.I. Joe Classified Night Force RAM Cycle With Night Force Shockwave set.

They basically did as a Walmart exclusive but in typical McFarlane fashion they screwed up the colors on it. Now we get correct colors which everyone will want and its a limited chase figure.

The Knightsend of course is in the correct blue colors for the Knightfall version of Azrael. The First Appearance Batman has sky blue gloves and highlights.

In a new article from the WSJ, Hasbro's Chief Financial Officer Gina Goetter stated that the company will be increasing efforts to cut costs within the company more aggressively in order to help compensate for slumping sales. Revenue at Hasbro fell 15% in 2023 to $5 billion as demand in the toy market softened due to things like rising inflation. This month they announced that they have increased their 2025 cost-savings goal from $350-$400 (Which is what they announced the goal would be 2 months ago) to $750 million. This effort has started in their game division and will expand to other product brands throughout 2024. “We’re not just talking about nickels and dimes,” Goetter said. “We’re talking about material moves that we can make on product costs.” The article doesn't talk much about action figures but it does use Hasbro's Nerf brand as an example. They state that Hasbro has identified 40 cost-savings ideas for that brand that include things such as the thickness of the plastic it uses to the type of packaging. Hasbro states that if they adopt just 8 of the largest ideas to cut costs for Nerf, it will save them $10 million. Other actions Hasbro has taken recently to cut costs at the company include the announcement late last year where they stated that they would be cutting roughly 20% of it's workforce in 2024, which translates to roughly 1100 people. Hasbro is also looking to lower vendor costs and increase efficiency across its supply chain. Hasbro also has begun shifting their less profitable brands to a licensing model which means instead of making the product themselves and carrying that inventory on it's books, they are allowing other companies to pay them for the privilege of making the stuff. Examples given in the article for this included Easy-Bake Oven and FurReal Friends. As I said, this article doesn't really focus much on the action figures that are produced in large part for adult collectors these days. In fact Hasbro has previously stated that things like Transformers experienced a %25 full year growth in 2023 and G.I. Joe has been mentioned as doing well for them as well. Still you have to wonder overall how these cost saving measures Hasbro plans to implement will effect in terms of quality and availability the stuff we the adult collector buy from them?

During the Clone Wars, a coup orchestrated by Death Watch topples the pacifist regime of the New Mandalorians and returns the armored warrior culture to a position of power over the isolated world. What the average Mandalorian citizen does not realize, however, is that the takeover is in truth masterminded by a secret syndicate of criminals -- the Shadow Collective led by Maul. Maul's loyal Mandalorians modify their armor to reflect allegiance to the Dark Lord. Hot Toys is pleased to introduce a new 1/6th scale collectible figure of Mandalorian Super Commando as seen in the Ahsoka live-action series! The highly-accurate collectible figure is specially crafted based on the appearance of the character in the show. It features highly detailed helmet and armor, skillfully tailored outfit, a jetpack, two blasters, energy shield and a sand themed display base. Add the Mandalorian Super Commando collectible figure to your Star Wars collection!
