McFARLANE TOYS TEASES UPCOMING FIGURES FROM THE BLACK ADAM MOVIE

I'm sure you've all seen the trailer by now, and, if you're like me, you're looking forward to this one.

McFarlane Toys sure hopes you are, as they teased that they will (of course!) be doing figures from the upcoming Black Adam film.

I'm sure we can definitely expect to see Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam himself, and some other likely contenders are Dr Fate (played by 007 himself, Pierce Brosnan), Hawkman and Atom Smasher.



RAMBO FIRST BLOOD - JOHN RAMBO 1/6 FIGURE

This was announced a little while back, but I still figured I'd pass it along to you guys in case some of you were unaware of it.

Up for pre-order now at SlyStaloneShop.com as well as RingsideCollectibles.com is this new John James Rambo figure based on his appearance in First Blood.

I looks like they decided to forgo any guns for him, even though he clearly used them in the movie. But, that's the day and age we're living in now, and obtaining any weapon you want for him is as easy as going on eBay and pretty much picking almost any one you want.

The figure looks really good. As a fan of the First Blood film, this definitely represents Rambo in that film in a detailed and realistic way.

I'll let Sly himself tell you a bit more, and then you can find some pics below that.

He's set for a release date of late 2022 for $260









McFARLANE TOYS - "PAGE PUNCHERS" 3" FIGURES AND COMIC BOOK SETS

Todd McFarlane has revealed a new line of figures coming from McFarlane Toys called "Page Punchers".

These will be 3" figures with 6 points of articulation (neck, shoulders, waist and legs/hips). These are likely more for the younger audience, but they'd also make nice pieces for collectors to hang on their walls, as well.

These will be priced at $9.99 each (a good value in today's overpriced toy market). No release date or official images for these yet, but expect more info to be incoming soon.











McFARLANE TOYS - DC MULTIVERSE - NEW FIGURES AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW

It's a good time to be a DC fan. Especially if you're also a DC Comics fan and are keeping up with most of the newer comics and stories, since that's where McFarlane Toys draws a lot of their figure selections from.

But, sometimes McFarlane will go back to some old school characters to give us. What was shown off yesterday and today is certainly a nice mixture of the two.

First up, on McFarlane's site, and as an exclusive, is this Batman of Zur-En-Arrh Unmasked Gold Label variant figure. This will only be available through a bundle on McFarlane's Toy Store site and only with in bundle with the Thomas Wayne, Batman Who Laughs as Batman and the Joker Dragon figures.


I have no idea who this character is but I do know an awesome design when I see one, and this guy hits all the "awesome" buttons. He's from the "Future State" story line in the comics. 

Ghost-Maker (cool name, too!) is available for pre-order now for $19.99 with a release date of July.









Next up is another addition for the Arkham games figure line-up-- Killer Croc. This will be a large-sized Mega Figure priced at $39.99 with a release date of August.








And last but not least by any means is this amazing looking Man-Bat figure. This will also be a Mega-Figure priced at $39.99 with a release date of August as well.

STORM COLLECTIBLES SHOWS OFF TWO FIGURES FROM THEIR UPCOMING 1/6 SCALE MORTAL KOMBAT LINE

This was really the only way to start off a new Mortal Kombat series, right?

You have to go with two mortal enemies who have been in the series since the very beginning.

Here we get our first look at Storm Collectibles' upcoming Scorpion and Sub-Zero figures. This will be in the 1/6 scale (12"). 

Expect more news on this line to come soon.


TODD McFARLANE TEASES MEDIEVAL SPAWN KICKSTARTER

The Toddfather (as his comic fans call him) showed a little sneak preview of his next Kickstarter Spawn figure. It's not really much of a surprise as he announced the Medieval Spawn would be the next figure back when the first one was finally hitting US shores.

This looks to be a hyper detailed version of one of the most popular Spawn figures of all time. I'm sure he'll also look amazing on that Collect & Connect Horse from the Dark Knight figures, or the one for McFarlane's Witcher series.

We should be getting a full look along with details for this one soon.
