Today is Sunday and it’s time for the 76th edition of the Toy News Roundup. Here we round-up all of the most important toy news of the week from our site, and also link you to any toy news that we didn’t cover. So, let’s see what the big toy news was this week, shall we?
NEW WAVE OF SPIDER-MAN LEGENDS INCOMING
Robotkingdom leaked what could be the first new images of the next wave of Spider-Man Legends. The new assortment of figures is probably very going to be welcome by many.
12 DAYS OF SIDESHOW… ROUNDUP
This may be the Toy News Roundup, but this week we did another quick roundup of what Sideshow revealed during their “12 Days” event. There are over 12 new items incoming from Sideshow that we are now anxiously awaiting.
BTS LOOK AT NECA’S ALIENS POWER LOADER
NECA gave the fans another look at the Aliens Power Loader that they have been working on for quite some time now. The figure is still in the prototype stage, but it also hints at other figures coming in the future.
TAMASHII NATIONS PREPARES FOR THE AGE OF ULTRON
The Age of Ultron is upon us very soon and Tamashii Nations started to reveal their Avengers 2 S.H. Figuarts. They started off with Iron Man, but it looks like Captain America, Thor, and Hulk will be announced soon.
NO G.I. JOE OR STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS TOYS AT TOY FAIR 2015
Hasbro sent out word this week that there will be no G.I. Joe or Star Wars: The Force Awakens toys at Toy Fair 2015. It should be no surprise about either, as Star Wars isn’t due in theaters for almost a year, and G.I. Joe just got a new brand manager. They are likely saving the big G.I. Joe reveals for JoeCon later this year.
NECA’S 18-INCH STRIKER EUREKA
The latest NECA large-scale figure is here – Striker Eureka from Pacific Rim. The figure features many of the bells and whistles that previous large-scale Pacific Rim figures had, like LED lights, oodles of articulation and much, much more.
EPIC HOT TOYS NEWS
The Malaysia Figure Community on Facebook was able to get an interview with Hot Toys, which reveals some potential figures we could see in the future. Check it out here.
HOT TOYS TO MAKE 10 AGE OF ULTRON COLLECTIBLE FIGURES
Hot Toys teased their Age of Ultron 12-inch figure lineup this week by releasing a teaser featuring all of the character bases. There were 10 bases in all, and that doesn’t even count the highly anticipated Hulkbuster.
CAN YOU GUESS THE NEXT NECA VIDEO GAME BASED FIGURE?
NECA’s video game appearance line gained traction really quickly. They have already made several figures based on their appearances in retro video games and now they are continuing on with the announcement of the City Hunter Predator from the retro Predator 2 video game.
IT’S JUDGEMENT DAY
This week Mezco Toyz finally revealed their Judge Dredd One:12 Collective 6-inch figure. It looks absolutely amazing and should certainly turn some heads, especially coming from Mezco who doesn’t typically do super-articulated figures. Pre-orders are available now!
MARVEL SELECT ELECTRO GETS STANDALONE RELEASE
Due to the success of the Marvel Select Electro/Spider-Man 2-pack and fan demand, Diamond Select Toys has decided to release the Electro figure on his own. This is good news for those of you who think you don’t need another Spider-Man figure.
THREEA Q&A
ThreeA has released their weekly Q&A. Contains lots of good news from most of the currently ThreeA licenses.
THE AGE OF ULTRON IS COMING
Hot Toys has been doing a lot of teasing for their Avengers: Age of Ultron collectible figures. Today they released a new teaser, featuring Ultron!
Is that Ultron? Or one of his Drones? I remember the final Ultron (from the Entertainment Weekly cover) having “rabbit ears/antennae” on the sides of his face.
