Hasbro held a Hasbro Pulse Panel at MCM London with news and reveals for most of the Hasbro key properties. At the moment there are no images but we will update these when any press-release galleries and details land.



Star Wars Vintage Collection


The panel started with the Vintage Collection and a reveal of The Stranger from The Acolyte. He will come with two heads - masked and unmasked - and removable soft goods cape.



There will then be a single carded release of 'Emperor's Wrath' Darth Vader.



We then got the first figure reveal for the new Maul: Shadow Lord animated series with a carded release of Maul, a refresh of the Clone Wars mechanical legs Maul.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
