Finally making its way to toy stores around the world and based on the popular supporting character + vehicle seen in The Dark Knight Trilogy, McFarlane Toys and Todd McFarlane show off via a new video released a look at the Lucius Fox figure based on Morgan Freeman’s likeness (Happy Birthday!) and The Tumbler/ Batmobile vehicle!
One of the most anticipated 2-pack action figure releases has finally been previewed and showcased by Todd McFarlane and McFarlane Toys themselves - with Batman vs Bane ala “Batman: Knightfall” now available for pre-order and showing a tired and battle damaged Caped Crusader fighting the man who broke his back… And it look awesome!
Batman vs Bane DC Multiverse 2-pack is now available for pre-order here!
Celebrating his big 85th anniversary later this year, Batman has undoubtedly become one of the cornerstones of popular culture and multimedia known to fans throughout the world - so it’s only fitting that McFarlane Toys makes a “First Appearance” DC Multiverse figure based on the Caped Crusader’s very first appearance in Detective Comics #27!
As shown in the company’s official Facebook page, the upcoming Detective Comics #27 Bats will stand 7” tall and sports the purple gloves and long eared cowl look that’s become this version’s signature look - and will also be one of the first figures to have a wired cape too! Be sure to look out for this when it hits shelves soon!
“There is only one true Batman!”
Coinciding with the ongoing 30th anniversary celebration of the “Knightfall saga” and specifically based from the “Knightsend” arc, McFarlane Toys has revealed their newest figure of Azrael Batman as he appeared in that storyline - clad in a more heavy duty Batman armor that has a flamethrower and is colored red due to the battle damage chipping away the blue colors. It’s the perfect hybrid between Jean-Paul Valley’s original alter ego and the mantle he inherited from Bruce Wayne - which the original Dark Knight had to fight and claim back from his twisted successor.
The figure will be available to pre-order on February 29 c/o McFarlane Toys.
Captain America fans and Marvel Legends collectors can look forward to a version of the character getting the ML treatment by Hasbro - as the Secret Empire era Cap aka “Hydra Cap” now has a 6” figure being previewed in the In Demand Toys 20th Anniversary Celebration!
As reported by ItsDanWho and MarvelousNews, this Hydra Cap will be a Walmart exclusive - and comes with the new costume and shield he wore first in the “Steve Rogers: Captain America” series that ran during Secret Empire.
Nearly 40 years since it changed the DC Comics universe as we knew it then and provided one of the most influential crossover events in comics history, McFarlane Toys is taking a stab at making more DC Multiverse figures based from “Crisis On Infinite Earths” - with a new Build-A-Figure wave that sees the likes of Kid Flash Wally Weet, Psycho-Pirate, The Spectre, and Kal-L aka Superman of Earth-2 making up the wave of figures of the set needed to complete The Monitor!
As posted at the McFarlane Toys website, the figures can be pre-ordered and will retail for $39.99 each. The reveal also comes in the same week that Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths Part One was released - which is the DC Universe Movie adaptation of the 1985-1986 epic storyline by Marv Wolfman and George Perez.
Previously on X-Men!
As one of the most anticipated animated series sequels coming to Disney + , X-Men ‘97 is on the hot list of what Marvel fans are looking forward to this 2024 - and now Marvel and Hasbro give fans a look at merchandise related to the show with the next wave of Marvel Legends figures featuring returning characters as well as some new ones!
Among the new figures are Madelyne Pryor/ Goblin Queen and The X-Cutioner, and then the ‘97 renditions of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Nightcrawler too. Magneto also gets a new figure in this wave showcasing heroic new look as a member of the X-Men.
The new X-Men ‘97 figures will go up for pre-order in Early 2024. For more details and pics, check out Marvel.com.Marvel.com
Marvel Legends fans who have been wanting to see new renditions or brand new figures made from the Marvel Cinematic Universe are in for a treat, as images of what looks to be the next wave of “The Infinity Saga” have come online - featuring the likes of Thor from “Thor: The Dark World”, Captain America’s Stealth Suit and Black Widow from “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”, and Iron Man, Spider-Man, and War Machine as they appear in “Captain America: Civil War”.
The promo images have popped up in the internet, and look to be renders for now as they haven’t been made yet.
No release date or details have been given for these figures yet, but stay tuned as Hasbro will probably follow up with an announcement soon.
This is the third MvC War Machine action figure that comes after ToyBiz released a 5” action figure and a Face-Off Marvel Legends figure that was a variant in a two-pack alongside The Mandarin.
As revealed by Screen Rant, the new figure will retail for $24.99 and will be released some time in February 2023. Unfortunately there is no Proton Cannon or War Destroyer prop, so you’ll have a regular basic Modular Armor repaint in Rhodey style colors.
Fortune and Glory are officially coming your way to 6” form courtesy of Hasbro, Disney, and Lucasfilm, as Hasbro Pulse Con 2022 just revealed the upcoming new Indiana Jones Adventure Series line of figures that will follow in the footsteps of Star Wars: The Black Series and offer some six-inch figure selections of Indy, his supporting cast, and other characters seen in the Indiana Jones series!
