Between Mattel and Super7 we are very close to finally being able to complete the original ThunderCats team as well as Mumm-Ra and the original mutants with modern sculpted figures. Before I go over my wish list of figures I would love to see Super7 do next, lets recap everything we know has come or coming fairly soon. First back in 2016 when Mattel first grabbed the license to do ThunderCats Classic figures, we got Wily Kit & Wily Kat in the forum of a SDCC exclusive 2-pack. I am sure at some point Super7 will get around to re-releasing these two in some way, but hopefully if you are collecting this line you've already gotten your hands on these. Now is the best time to switch to Verizon Fios Get the 100% fiber optic network and get Internet and TV your way Ad by Verizon Fios See More Next Mattel released their first wave of Classic figures which included Lion-O, Panthro, Jackalman, Mummified Mumm-Ra, and Pumyra. Shortly after the release of that initial wave, Mattel decided to hand the ThunderCats off to Super7 so they could continue on with the line. Super7 renamed the line ThunderCats Ultimates, and for their first wave of figures re-released Lion-O, Panthro, Jackalman and Mummified Mumm-Ra. These figures have updated accessories. The figure in my opinion with the best update is Mumm-Ra, who now includes a soft-good robe. This wave just started arriving in people's mailboxes and is available for purchase from our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com. For Super7's second wave which has yet to be released, it will include a re-release of Pumyra. The Mattel version was to tall, so that should be fixed with this one. You also get additional accessories like the figures in the first wave. The other figures include Grune, Mumm-Ra The Ever Living, and Tygra. The final wave we know about coming from Super7 for ThunderCats will include figures of Jaga, Captain Cracker, Slithe and Cheetara. So after the third wave is released, we will have an almost complete set of the original ThunderCats team in figure form, (Jaga, Lion-O, Panthro, Tygra, Cheetara, Wily Kit & Wily Kat). The only one missing will be Snarf. which I don't know how they will release him. He would be to small of a character to be released as single figure, but important enough I can't see them not doing him. Why he wasn't included as pack-in with the Lion-O figure is a mystery to me. After all we are getting Ma-Mutt with the Mumm-Ra The Ever Living figure. For the bad guys we will have both versions of Mumm-Ra as well as mutant leader Slithe and Jackalman. Monkian is the only original mutant member we need, so hopefully he will be announced for wave 4. So besides Monkian and Snarf (and possibly Wily Kit & Wily Kat for those who missed the Mattel ones), here is my breakdown on the characters I would love to see Super7 do next. While not an original mutant team member, probably my favorite one of the bunch was Vultureman. I hope to see him and Monkian in wave 4. For good guys, I think the Berbils need to happen. They were the Ewoks of Third Earth but they played a major role in helping the ThunderCats get settled in to their new home. I think due to their small size Super7 should do a three pack featuring their leader Ro-Bear Bill, Ro-Bear Belle and a generic Berbill. Going back to the bad guys, rounding out the mutants is Ratar-O. He is another favorite of mine. He is a definite must for me to get the figure treatment. I suppose I should go back to good guys, and I am sure Super7 will continue to give us a mix of good guys and bad guys in each wave. For me however I would rather see figures of Demolisher, Safari Joe and Driller before seeing any other good guy characters made. Hopefully Demolisher will come with his armadillo pilot Dirge and Joe will come with his robotic side-kick Mule. Ok so getting back to the good guys, we should get figures of Bengali and Lynx-O to round out the second wave of ThunderCats from the cartoon. These two would join Pumyra from wave 2. This is getting far enough down the road that I'm inclined to say lets wait and see if Super7 is still doing ThunderCats figures by this point. Assuming they are and if I had to pick any more, I would like to see Mandora and Quick-Pick for good guys. And Captain Shiner for another bad guy. Truth is, as long as we get all the original ThunderCats and Monkian with maybe Vultureman to round out the mutants, I will be pretty happy. Let us know in the COMMENTS SECTION below which characters you want to see Super7 do the most.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has started to see its home release with digital downloads this weekend, and I couldn’t help notice that there are still quit a few characters from the movie that have yet to get any kind of action figure treatment for either 6” or 3 3/4”. So I have developed a list featuring 28 characters from the movie I hope to see action figures made of by Hasbro in the next year or so. If you have yet to see the movie, this list does contain SPOILERS. Young Leia (Jedi Training) Young Luke (Jedi Training) Spirit Luke and Leia Han Solo (Scruffy Looking Ben Solo Memory) Lando Calrissian (Passana Disguise) General Lando Calrissian Rey With Yellow Lightsaber Rejuvenated Emperor Palatine Klaud Millennium Falcon Gunner Wedge Antillies (Dennis Lawson) Kijimi Bartender (John Williams) This is a must have Boolio (Voiced By Mark Hamill) First Order Allegiant General Pryde Beaumont Kin (Dominic Monaghan) Lt.

From the visionary team behind Batman: The Animated Series come all-new stories set in this seminal animated world! Batman: The Adventures Continue, DC’s new, digital-first six-issue mini-series, launching in print on May 6, 2020, is co-written by Paul Dini and Alan Burnett, both producers of the original animated series, and illustrated by Ty Templeton, who has brought the world of B:TAS to comic books since 1992’s Batman Adventures #1. Inspired by the beloved and Emmy Award-winning Batman: The Animated Series, these new comics reflect a new era of the long-running DC Collectibles action figure line by featuring newly designed characters never before seen in the beloved animated shows! DC’s Batman: The Adventures Continue characters are all based on art by Ty Templeton in the iconic Bruce Timm animated style. New figures from DC Collectibles launch this spring, and now, together with these new comics, the legendary Batman: The Animated Series continues to reach new audiences! “Fans familiar with the Batman of The New Batman/Superman Adventures will be right up to speed,” says Paul Dini. “Alan and I approached the writing with the idea that we were doing the season you might have seen if we had not put the series aside to do Batman Beyond.” “Tim Drake is still a very young Robin,” added Ty Templeton of the timing of the series. “Batman isn’t middle-aged or anything, and we’re not even close to the events of Batman Beyond.” “What is different, however, is that we’re going back to cover certain gaps in the original series, events that didn’t have a bearing on the series at the time, but now do,” continued Alan Burnett. “In other words, there will be secret histories that will turn Batman’s world upside down. Things that no one knew were out there, until now.” “Perhaps the most intriguing character in the run will be young man whose story threads through most of the issues,” teased Burnett. “He’s a smart, super-elusive loner who knows way too much about the Dark Knight. How this mystery man fits into the world of Batman Adventures and what he means to accomplish should, I hope, be a real jolt for old fans.” In the first issue of Batman: The Adventures Continue, collecting two digital-first chapters, Wayne Enterprises in Gotham City is attacked by a giant robot that steals an entire room from the laboratory. Who’s controlling the robot? How will Batman stop the mechanized menace? And what does it all have to do with Lex Luthor’s sudden appearance in Gotham? Batman: The Adventures Continue #1, written by Paul Dini and Alan Burnett with art by Ty Templeton and color by Monica Kubina, featuring a cover by Dave Johnson and a variant cover by Dan Mora, hits shelves on May 6, 2020. Digital-First chapters will be released beginning in April 2020. DC Collectibles will be featuring 6" figures from this new series which were first debuted last February during Toy Fair. So far we have seen figures for Knightfall Batman, Red Hood, Batman Who Laughs, Deathstroke, The Dark Knight Returns Armored Batman as well as updated figures for Batman, Robin, Joker and Harley Quinn. You can check out images for all of these figures below. Check back later today for the latest DC Collectibles solicitations where a new Vampire Batman and updated Catwoman with unmasked headscupt figures for this line will be revealed.

The newest DC Comics based movie has hit theaters with Birds of Prey, which features actress ‎Margot Robbie reprising her Suicide Squad role of Harley Quinn. While I have yet to see the film, initial reviews and reactions overall seem to be pretty positive. Even before the movies release, I have gotten a lot of questions from folks asking about action figures??? While the rated R movie does not seem to be getting a full fledged dedicated action figure line, a number of companies are releasing product for the film based primarily on the lead character of Harley. Here is a rundown of all the figures we know of that are coming. Birds of Prey Gallery Harley Quinn Statue From DST A Diamond Select Toys release! Harley's back, and this time she's got her mallet! The star of Suicide Squad returns for Birds of Prey, and this all-new DC Gallery PVC Diorama captures her in one of her all-new looks! Wearing roller-skates and holding her trademark mallet, this approximately 9 inch sculpture of Harley is made of high-quality and features detailed sculpting and paint applications. Packaged in a full-color window box. You can pre-order this at our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com. Birds of Prey 6" S.H.Figuarts Harley Quinn From Tamashii Nations From the Birds of Prey film, the fan favorite Harley Quinn joins the S.H.Figuarts line dressed in some impressive golden overalls. Standing over 5.50 inches tall, this S.H. Figuarts Birds of Prey Harley Quinn figure features an amazing range of motion and includes several accessories including her derby skates. You can pre-order this at our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com. Birds of Prey MMS565 Harley Quinn 1/6th Scale Figure From Hot Toys From the Birds of Prey film, Hot Toys presents the Harley Quinn collectible figure. Beautifully crafted based on the screen appearance of Margot Robbie, the movie-accurate collectible figure features a newly developed head and hair sculpture with incredible workmanship, a sophisticatedly tailored golden overall outfit as seen in the first trailer of the film, a pair of interchangeable roller shoes, Harley’s iconic mallet, a chain necklaces, a figure stand with specially designed graphic cards and character backdrop.

Vinyl Figures From Funko Funko so far is the only company doing a wide range of characters for the movie beyond just Harley, of course they aren't really action figures but collectibles never-the-less. You can pre-order these from our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com. DC Multiverse Birds of Prey Harley Quinn 7" Figure From McFarlane Toys While we have yet to get an official announcement or see any official images, all indications are that McFarlane Toys will be doing a 7" version of Harley from the movie for their new DC Multiverse line. The biggest indication of this, is that the character is featured on the back of the packaging of various other DC Multiverse figures already released. It seemed like the plan was to release the figure with the initial batch of DC Multiverse stuff on shelves now, but was then held back for some reason. The figure had been listed in several retail computer systems along with the other figures, and we have even seen UPC and SKU#'s for it. SKU: 557109848 UPS: 78792615801 DC 7" Movie Harley Quinn As to why the figure was seemingly held back, or when we will see it actually released remains unknown. I am sure those details will come to light later this month during the New York Toy Fair, which kicks off on February 22. If the movie is a success, which initial indications are that it will be, I am sure this list will grow. I could definitely see a company like Mezco doing a One:12 Collective version, or Medicom delivering us a MAFEX one. We might even see other characters beyond Harley getting the figure treatment, but only time will tell.

Here's McFarlane Toys first attempt at a 7 inch Mortal Kombat Johnny Cage action figure. This figure is based upon his younger 90's appearance as seen in Mortal Kombat 11.
