"I'm still that skinny kid from Brooklyn, now just in a big metal suit." The first figures from Marvel’s What If? were released in 2021. These featured a full wave of standard figures, including a build-a-figure of The Watcher, and this Deluxe release of the Hydra Stomper. The Stomper was packed into a larger version of the scooped-sided Marvel Legends packaging with a large front window to display the figure and artwork to the sides and rear depicting the Hydra Stomper in action. The figure started to land ahead of the show airing and the rear text did include some spoilers as it details that this is Steve Rogers's suit, created for him by Howard Stark. In hand, the Hydra Stomper is a solidly built figure that stands 24cm tall, just shy of 9.5 inches. This is comparable with similar oversized Stark Tech in the line such as the MCU Hulkbuster and the newer Iron Monger release. The Stomper is almost entirely made up of army green parts with varying sculpted detail to reflect the construction and makeup of the suit seen on screen. Detailing is added around the front reactor as an ice blue panel, with decals applied on either side - a five-pointed US Army star to one side and a C-15 designation to the other. Up close there are a few panels in grey to create some differentiation including on the chest, around the waist, and at the feet.  The helmet is non-removable and features the same green base and blue-painted eyes. It also includes a grey variation in the paneling - mainly around the back. The Stomper is completed by a huge jet pack that slots onto the rear of the figure by way of a single central socket. Despite the size and weight, the socket fit is tight and secure. The jet pack is again the same base green colour with a few grey vents down either side of each of the two jet thrusters. The end of each thruster is painted with black paint to reflect scorching which is the only weathering or damage added to the entirety of the figure. The Hydra Stomper features two different sets of hands, allowing you to display it with either clenched fists, open hands, or a combination of the two. The other accessories are a pair of oversized Stark-style effect pieces in translucent yellow that slot into the jet pack to create a firing look. While the cannon built into the right-hand looks to also incorporate an effects piece these larger yellow ones are too big to fit. The fact that one of the plentiful Iron Man repulsor blast effects sits in this perfectly it seems that maybe a smaller firing version had been intended at some point and was then dropped. Blue Repulsor Blast Not Included While everything has been reasonably positive so far, there is a huge issue with the Hydra Stomper and that is the articulation and ultimately the balance of the figure. These larger mech suits are usually easy to stand with their wide feet and substantial weight - but for some reason, our Hydra Stomper has been given slightly rounded soles to his feet which immediately offset the enormous weight above them and cause the Stomper to rock either backward or forwards and ultimately off balance.  The articulation itself is ok considering the bulk of the figure and the Stomper has 18 points overall. This allows a decent range of movement in the arms with clever hinged shoulder armour moving in sync with the shoulder joints. The lower we go the more limited the movement, with the torso armour feeling really springy and ultimately limited to a rotation only with no forward or backward motion. The legs are restricted from full movement by their design and of course, any posing is heavily impacted by the feet design.  It is worth noting that the jetpack also features two additional points of articulation with each thruster able to fold in and out. This doesn’t add any real value and I don't recall it being a huge focus point during the Hydra Stomper episodes. The Stomper was also sold on the fact that it could be used as a vehicle for the Captain Peggy Carter figure released at the same time. In the show, she hitches a ride from Steve by holding on to the rear of the jetpack and flying into action. While the Stomper was shown to support this during initial promotions, the reality is much more difficult. While a hand grip is provided for Peggy, her own grip hand is too large to hold this securely. There is also no disguised foothold or footpeg on which to stand - the two ‘sockets' to either side are foot-shaped but not a good or secure fit for the feet of a figure. Therefore the entirety of the posing is reliant on getting Peggy balanced just right with her feet wedged as best you can into the two plates provided - a task in itself.  While the Hydra Stomper cuts an imposing figure, out of the box the piece is frustrating to display particularly through the stability problems but also through the limited articulation. While the jet pack effects work okay, more benefits would have been gained through front-mounted weapon effects, as we saw with Iron Monger. The figure had a chance to integrate with the Captain Carter figure and for the two of them to become more than the sum of their parts - and yet this too has not been engineered well enough to work for display. If you are adding Hydra Stomper to your What If? collection then invest in a quality stand that wraps around the figure's waist - or its upper legs.

“But how will we know if they're a Jedi?” Jedi: Survivor has been the source for a handful of Star Wars Black Series releases to date, namely a new Cal Kestis  as well as enemy fodder like the Riot Scout Trooper , KX-Droid , and a repurposed B1 Battle Droid  of the Bedlam Raiders. In November 2024, we have a new box set that significantly reinforces the ranks of the Raiders with three new droids for their forces. This new Jedi: Survivor 3-Pack is released under the Gaming Greats banner and is exclusive to Amazon  globally. Like the ‘Duel of the Fates’ set, this box doesn’t confirm the set has a name only that it is based on Jedi: Survivor and the name of the three droids it contains - a B1 Battle Droid, Super Battle Droid, and Magna Guard. The box is in the newer square format and is not numbered as part of the Gaming Greats series, but does carry the hexagon foil sticker on the front window. Its side art features a combination of all three droids and uses the same colour accent as the rest of the Gaming line, although this one is a bit darker when you put it next to one of the older slanted releases.  The rear of the box has larger images of each of the droids, but rather than give each of them a short bio the text on the back is a single background paragraph that explains that Cal Kestis will face off against reprogrammed Droids and the three types included in this set. There is still no mention of the Bedlam Raiders. Like all of the squared-off packaged Galaxy Collection releases introduced in 2024, the set comes with a coloured card backdrop for the figures and incorporates a scene featuring some planetary bodies. The first of the set is the B1 Battle Droid. This does not differ in construction from all the other Battle Droid releases and features the same backpack - which is removable. The upper body is cast in cream like the original Trade Federation Droids but then includes ‘Raiders’ paintwork including burgundy markings on the shoulders, hands and the backpack - and a full silver paint job for the forearms. The silver also continues in the legs which are entirely a silver finish. The head extends on a twin stemmed silver neck with a beige base colour and burgundy red trim to either side over the eyes.  Articulation is 19 points in total with each joint worked into the construction of the B1 itself. Large circular rotation joints are added to the main joints like elbows and knees, with disguised swivels then added on the upper arms, below the elbows and the wrists to extend the movement. The legs are similar, with the but the rotation is within the ankle rocker and with the hips only working in one axis, the legs are fairly fixed and limited without the ability to widen the Droids stance. The neck allows the Droid to look up and down but also extends outwards and it can rotate by pulling the neck up slightly before turning. Like all Black Series B1 Droids, it can get into the folded pose reasonably well. Our B1 has a new weapon, one of the salvaged and hybrid weapons that we see the B1 Droids use to fight in the game. This one has a central section in grey that appears to be the barrel and sights of a blaster rifle. To one end is a brown turned handle, and to the other are two large curved blades to make this a melee weapon. As the B1 hands were designed to hold their own blaster, and as they haven’t been updated for this set, the grip on the weapon isn’t fully secure, but it will hold loosely once posed in either or both hands with the articulation allowing for some attacking posing. The second figure is the B2 Super Battle Droid. It uses the newly released sculpt and in a similar silver colouration which does look quite cheap in places with mold and pressure marks visible in the cast plastic. Over this is applied the same basic combination of paintwork to define the Bedlam Raiders with burgundy as a stripe on both upper legs and on the stomach area. The chest and head feature the most extensive paint work with cream and burgundy added as a pattern around the headpiece.  Our Super Battle Droid retains the same removable panels as the main release allowing you to remove both the head and the chest piece revealing the workings within which are very detailed in a darker gunmetal finish and include a handful of additional colours with yellow and white used on a couple of components, and red used on the large central eye that sits under the dome of the headpiece. This Super Battle Droid also gets an updated left arm from the main release. The entire lower forearm is replaced by a larger cannon in the same silver colour but with a black painted barrel. The articulation is 18 points in total with a similar design to the B1 including large circular joints to bend the knees, hips, and elbows and swivel joints alongside. There is no movement at the head and the waist joint also lacks much movement. The main point of the B2 is to extend the arm weaponry out to shoot and this can be done using either arm, with the right featuring a twin blaster above the hand with the wrist jointed to bend down and out of the way so the weapon can be fired.  The B2 does feature a blast effect carried over from the single release. This is a two part red translucent piece that should slot over the barrel of the right hand blaster. Due to the very soft plastic on both, the fit is hard work to achieve but once locked in place it will hold straight and secure as the arm is extended out to fire.  The final figure is probably the most visually impressive, the Magna Guard also uses the existing figure but with redesigned soft goods that create the droid and individual styling where they wrap the chest and extend out as a rear cape section, and then up and over the head as a hood which can be displayed up or down. The droid itself is white on the outer parts and gunmetal silver on the joints while the arms are given the burgundy red tones of the Raiders. A brighter red is used on the Manga Guard’s eyes with silver and black then worked into the components of the head to create the features.  Our Bedlam Raider Magna Guard has 16 points of articulation and these are more traditional in places than the circular single-axis joints of the B1 and B2. The Magna Guard has a wider range of motion two than the others in the set with a good level of balance in the legs to support weaponry and attacking poses despite the original figure having some criticism for stability. The arms are also extensive thanks to butterfly shoulders hidden under the chest armour and the elbow and wrist joints but be mindful of the shoulder armour which is not permanently fixed and has a tendency to pop off if you move the arm too far.  The Magna Guard features one of the two electro-staff weapons included in the single release. This is the simpler of the two with the two translucent rounded plastic ends - and this is the accurate model to the one wielded in the game. It is grey in its colour with no other paint added, but does come with the two translucent purple electro effects from the single release. These effects will fit this weapon, but were designed for the alternative electro-staff from the main release and therefore are not snug when fitted and quite often drop off or slip down the shaft. The Magna Guard hands feature what can best be described as two thumbs and two fingers meaning the grip is harder to access to put the weapon into place, but once it is in hand it is secure in both single or double-hand grips. All three of the droids are good recreations of the Droids we see in the game with relatively accurate paintwork albeit missing some level of weathering or damage that the Droids on Koboh. While the figures themselves are more or less the standard releases repainted, it is nice to see some very specific updates to mirror the game - particularly the Melee B1 Droid weapon, the Super Battle Droid’s additional gun arm, and the Magna Guards soft goods. The included effect pieces are OK, but there are engineering issues in connecting both types to their appropriate weapon. It is however good to have the choice considering Hasbro could have omitted them altogether.  The set is particular to fans of the Jedi games and therefore makes a good choice as an exclusive, especially sitting outside of the main Galaxy Collection numbered releases so not to be a gap for boxed collectors. At a UK RRP of £71, the price is still less than three standard figures at their full £25 RRP but it is perhaps a bit too rich considering the repaints/tweaks and the limited appeal in the wider Star Wars Galaxy - this may be a set that will see some price reductions on Amazon in the future to the point all stocks are exhausted.

As we prepare to dive back into the New Republic Era with Skeleton Crew, I've spent the last 2-weeks on a rewatch of the 'Mandoverse' Disney+ shows, and while doing so have found myself picking out a few characters who I'd consider as good additions to the Star Wars Black Series considering how much focus Hasbro is putting in this space presently. In the main, I've picked a quartet of characters from each season - and have avoided those we already know are in the pipeline. The first two seasons of The Mandalorian have been pretty extensively covered in the Black Series so I've picked four characters from across Season 1 and 2 combined. They include Pelli Motto, Carson Teva (who could have also fit into the Ahsoka picks), Burg, and Xi'an Moving to Book of Boba Fett and I found my choices more driven by getting Original Trilogy figures into the line, leaning into the nostalgia the show created with appearances from Max Rebo, 8D8, and the B'Omarr Monk. I also felt the Tusken Warrior warranted a figure considering their extensive role in the first half of the season. The binge-watch then switched back to Season 3 of The Mandalorian. This series is also getting considerable releases, particularly for the various Mandalorians, but there are still gaps - particularly Jedi Master Kelleran Beq from the Order 66 Flashback scenes. I also like the pirate episodes in Season 3 so Gorian Shand and Vane would be good choices - with the latter also linking directly into Skeleton Crew. My final pick was a bit leftfield in adding Commissioner Helgait driven more by actor Christopher Lloyd in the role. The final set of decisions were from Ahsoka Season 1, and here I suspect we will have plenty of Thrawn's Imperial Troopers incoming. I therefore put my choices in a few of the more interesting designs and characters including Ezra Bridger as found with the Noti, one or more of the Great Sisters, Jacen Syndulla, and any of the Peridea Bandits. Some of these do have a very good chance of future releases, others are more of a pipedream in the current climate. Let me know which characters you would pick.

McFarlane's latest DC Multiverse two-pack release will feature Batman vs Professor Zoom from Flashpoint. Both figures come with alternative masked heads. Batman then comes with twin handguns, while Professor Zoom has a sword and a lightning rod. Both figures can be displayed on the included diorama base that also features a Bruce Wayne gravestone. The set launches is live for pre-order as of the 27th of November 2024 and it has a 2025 release date. A special Gold Label 'Autograph' edition featuring a collectible Professor Zoom Art Card signed by Geoff Johns is available at the McFarlane Store We've added the new sets to our extensive McFarlane Collector Database Born in the 25th Century, Eobard Thawne grew up idolizing the Flash and studying the legacy of the Scarlet Speedster. However, as he learned more about the Flash, Eobard discovered how his own life was linked to his hero's: He was destined to become one of Barry Allen's greatest villains, a revelation that led Eobard to grow unhinged. When he eventually replicated the chemical accident that granted the Flash super speed, Eobard took on a new identity - that of the Reverse-Flash, a wicked subversion of everything the Flash stands for. The Thomas Wayne of Flashpoint , the man who became Batman when it was young Bruce who was killed in Crime Alley, is perhaps the most complicated version of Thomas to date. Once a brutal slayer of Gotham's villains who augmented his wealth by investing in Gotham's depravity as a casino magnate, Thomas Wayne rededicated himself in the 2011 Flashpoint event to erasing his own corrupted reality and giving his son another chance at life. BATMAN & PROFESSOR ZOOM are based on their looks in FLASHPOINT comic. Incredibly detailed 7" scale figure based off the DC MULTIVERSE. Designed with Ultra Articulation with up to 22 moving parts for full range of posing and play. Accessories include 2 alternate head portraits, lightning rod, sword, 2 sidearms and environmental display base. Includes collectible Professor Zoom Art Card SIGNED by Geoff Johns.

McFarlane are releasing an 'Autograph Edition' of their DC Multiverse Simon Baz Green Lantern figure. The figure will be the same one as included in the Collector Edition release but will feature special packaging and inside there will be a collectible art card signed by Geoff Johns from DC. The figure is exclusive to Walmart in the US and also available through the McFarlane Store . It will ship in December 2024. We've added this new release into our extensive McFarlane Collector Database As a Muslim growing up in Michigan, Simon Baz was often the target of bigotry. After he lost his job at an automotive plant, Simon started stealing cars to make ends meet. One night he stole a van, and discovered a ticking bomb inside the vehicle. After a high-speed chase he was taken into custody as a suspected terrorist. Amid harsh interrogation by federal agents, a power ring sought Baz out, conferring on him the abilities and responsibilities of a Green Lantern. A reluctant Super Hero, Baz considered the selection a mistake, but sought to do his best to help people. Includes collectible art card SIGNED by Geoff Johns Incredibly detailed 7” scale figure based off the DC Multiverse Designed with Ultra Articulation with up to 22 moving parts for full range of posing and play Accessories include 3 interchangeable face plates, power battery, hammer construct, drill construct, attachable fist construct and figure display base Collect all additional McFarlane Collector Edition figures To manage our storage costs, news article images are archived after 12-months.
