"I can't seem to hit anything." After the SDCC 2024 Star Wars Black Series Exclusive release of Darth Maul and his Sith Speeder , it was announced that Hasbro’s own Pulse Con event in September 2024 would have an exclusive companion piece with the debut of the STAP in the Star Wars Black Series. This Hasbro Pulse Con Exclusive was sold via Hasbro Pulse immediately after the Pulse Con virtual event with stock being dispatched immediately. Like the SDCC Maul set, the STAP and Battle Droid deluxe pack uses a window package that pays homage to some of the original 1999 The Phantom Menace toys. The box uses the Darth Maul red and black colour scheme with gold Star Wars Episode 1 logo and the nameplate in a gold-trimmed box. The only newer addition is the Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary logo to the top right. Images of the STAP in action are found on the two side panels and on the reverse along with a short write-up of the vehicle and its use by the Droid Army.  Those like me around in 1999 for the figure launch for The Phantom Menace will remember this set as a ‘Sneak Preview’ release using a green colour scheme that was being used at the time by the Power of the Force II figures. While Hasbro has chosen to stick to the more defined red and black for this release, the backing artwork for the STAP and Droid is the same as this ‘Sneak Preview’ release with a depiction of a Naboo swamp, tree trunk and vines.  We start with the Battle Droid and this is the same Trade Federation beige-coloured droid as released originally in 2019  and again in 2021 on a retro card back (as well as being included in the Disney Parks Droid Set ). The figure is constructed in cast beige plastic with a good level of accuracy to the on-screen Droids. There is a decor variation on this STAP pilot droid with differing weathering and a darker brown wash and no scratched or damaged silver paintwork as we saw with the original. vs 2019 Battle Droid (right) Articulation is 17 points in total with the joints visible and part of the sculpt as is the case on the Droid when we see them on screen. Joints are therefore more rudimentary than a humanoid character with rotating pivots at the knees and elbows and more limited ball joints at the shoulders and hips. The head features a dual joint neck which also extends out and folds down to get our droid into the dormant folded pose if needed - although in this case, that isn't a factor for a Droid included to pilot our STAP. Our Battle Droid will stand, but the stability is not great and the right leg appears longer than the left which also skews the posing options. We also know these Droid joints will deteriorate heavily over time to a position where they won’t stand unaided. The Battle Droid still comes with dual backpacks. And you can choose to fit him with the larger trooper backpack which also features a socket to holster a blaster. This connects into the rear of the Droid via two sockets and is shaped to fit over the curved back towards the shoulders. You also receive the OOM Commander Droid backpack which features a small shaped component and the twin antennae. This only fits on the right-hand side of the Droid using a single socket.  The Droid Blaster is the same as all previous B1 Droids, and E-5 Blaster rifle in grey with a metallic drybrush finish. This fits into either hand with the secondary clawed hand also able to grip the blaster barrel for a two handed pose. When not in use it can be holstered if you are using the larger backpack. Moving onto the STAP and this is a brand new Black Series piece cast in hard plastic with an orange/brown colour scheme as seen during the scenes on Naboo during The Phantom Menance. The body of the STAP is then connected by a grey central skeletal shaft with twin engines on either side picked out in grey for the input and output jets, and with twin blasters ith grey and silver decor but with a brown barrel and darker wash ends to show scorching from repeated fire.  The STAP has twin handlebars, but these are not articulated and my review copy (purchased from Hasbro Pulse) saw these arrive warped. The only articulation as such across the STAP is the central colour allowing the upper canopy and guns to be angled up or down on a reasonably well-engineered sliding bracket. There has been no articulations added to the feet controls, or the engines. As our Battle Droid has not been updated in any way, the connection of the figure into the piloting position for the STAP can be frustrating. The foot controls of the STAP, like other Speeders we’ve seen in the line, use pegs to connect to the feet. These are not the tightest of fit and they will pop off easily and with limited movement. The hands have not been adjusted to a tighter grip to hold the slimline handlebars of the STAP so our Droid doesn’t really hold the handles leaving the position of the feet and legs as the key factor in getting the Droid into riding position. More often than not gravity will then also kick in and the Droid will flop backwards and away from the riding position. In reality, it is probably easiest for a display to keep the STAP and Droid in the state in which it arrives with the Droid secured to the vehicle with thin plastic clear ties - this is perhaps as good as you will get and is certainly much more secure, It is arguably easier to fit other figures into the STAP pilot seat, and despite not having articulated foot or handle controls, most humanoid figures can get into position as demonstrated here by our Clone Wars Anakin Skywalker. The STAP sits on a clear plastic stand that itself features a ball joint allowing - on paper - the STAP to be displayed pivoting and banking. This can be achieved within a small element of bank or roll to either side, front or back - but if you take it too far the teardrop stand is not heavy or wide enough to counteract gravity so more severe turns or banking poses will see the STAP fall over. The ball joint itself is quite a firm fit initially and holds the poses well - there are questions about how long it will retain its stability, but it is certainly much better than what we got on the recent Green Goblin glider in the Marvel Legends series. The Hasbro Pulse Con 2024 Exclusive STAP and Battle Droid is a £50 set here in the UK. If you take off the £25 standard figure price, that puts the STAP at £25 in value - although the exclusivity and special packaging will be included in that premium. The packaging choice may not quite feel right to most who remember this set and the illustrated backdrop in the green Sneak Preview packaging, but choosing the red & black does keep it consistent with the Darth Maul Speeder from SDCC and the previous Phantom Menace carded releases. Ideally, the Droid should have been updated to include better gripping hands to secure it to the STAP. The STAP itself would have benefitted from more articulation in the steering, and foot plates as a minimum as fixing these in place does make the posing of the Droid more difficult. The pivot base works OK but is not sized or weighted enough for more extreme banking manoeuvres - but it does give the STAP and Battle Droid a more premium display option for your collection sitting well over the surrounding 6-inch figures and in a flight position.

And, as a superpowered being with very low intellect, Bizarro is a brute known for his childlike and dangerous temper tantrums. Riddle us this: what cerebral criminal with an affinity for purple and green loves challenging the Dark Knight with cleverly calculated crimes and puzzling plots? Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive…The MAN OF STEEL fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way.

"I will go" The Mandalorian Privateer was one of two Mandalorian retailer exclusives released in Summer 2024 and themed around Season 3 of The Mandalorian and the joining of the Mandalorian Covert, Nite Owls and Privateers to take back Mandalore from the Imperial Remnant. The Privateer was a Target Exclusive in the US and available through the Fan Channel here in the UK. Like the Mandalorian Nite Owl  Exclusive released through Walmart in the US as a partner piece, the Privateer uses the new box format for the Black Series. This squared-off box retains the same black base colour, and accent colour for each show or movie with the Mandalorian colour scheme of deep orange in place on both the box text and the side art.  The Privateer is number 39 in the Galaxy Collection Mandalorian Series - the numbering now also features on the box front as well as the back - and the side artwork connects directly to the Mandalorian Nite Owl  who preceded him at number 38. The new box art is also a continuation of the earlier figures from 1 through to 37 although the artwork has appeared to have darkened marginally on the new packaging. The rear of the box carries a smaller version of the artwork and a brief overview of the Privateer and his role in the wider story art. Another change for the newer box format is the backing card which is now the same accent colour as used on the box and featuring some faded imagery relevant to the character. In this case we have another planetary scene, but not the same as the one used with the Mandalorian Nite Owl. The Mandalorian Privateer is based on one of the background Privateers as seen during Season 3 and the group working under the command of Ax Woves before combining into the larger Mandalorian force in retaking Mandalore. While the Nite Owl was a repaint of the Koska Reeves figure, the Privateer is a more complex hybrid of previous figures. It is most closely connected to the recent Mandalorian Fleet Captain  who was a mix of new parts and parts from the Mandalorian Deathwatch Commando . The Privateer uses the chest arms and lower legs of the Fleet Captain, retaining the thigh armour of the Deathwatch Mando. The belt and holster appear to be new.  The base figure uses a grey undersuit with the armoured panels coloured a blue that is flat rather than metallic - and while a similar shading to other figures it still stands out as individual against the likes of Bo-Katan, Ax Woves and Koska Reeves. In places, the armour varies in blue shading with darker tones used on the lower chest, lower arms and lower legs, with further burgundy trim also employed in sections. Silver is used sparingly on the gloves and upper shin guards, while the new belt piece is cast in burgundy with a gunmetal silver buckle and thigh holster that ties around the right thigh guard. While the overall look is quite clean, there are some smaller scratches and dings visible on the armour around the chest, shoulders and forearm guards. The helmet is that of Ax Woves, cast in blue with black painted visor, gunmetal trim and a painted white band around the top of the head - inclusive of chipped edges to depict it being handpainted. The helmet is hollow and you can see an unpainted blue head underneath but the helmet is glued onto the head and is not removable. The range finder is painted grey with a black top and can be rotated down over the visor as an added feature. The jetpack is the same as was included with the Fleet Captain and does vary from that used by Woves and the other Mandalorians. While the Fleet Captain’s pack was beautifully painted in blues and silver, our Privateer has a grey cast piece with some slightly darker grey panels and silver tips to the rocket and the twin thrusters. These thrusters are articulated and can be rotated. The whole thing connects to the back of the figure by three pegs, and while the fit is still not perfect it is more secure than other figures that use a similar connection. Our Privateer has a single accessory, a grey cast WESTAR-35 Mandalorian Blaster with a painted silver trim to the main grip. The weapon is the same as included with most other Mando’s and it fits into the Privateer’s right hand or in the open holster on the right thigh. As yet the Mandalorian male figures are not getting an updated left hand that can also accommodate blasters.  Articulation is entirely pinless and there are 19 points across the figure plus the rudimentary pivots on the helmet range finder and jet pack thrusters. The Privateer has a full range of motion with a good level of movement in the legs and arms up to and including poses firing his blaster at full stretch outward and kneeling positions. The joints all feel secure, and the Privateer offers plenty of expressive posing opportunities. Our Privateers is more than a simple repaint as we saw with the Nite Owl and is a well-constructed hybrid of other Mandalorian parts and armoured pieces to create a well-proportioned army-builder for your Mandalorian force. The blue of the armour fits well alongside Bo-Katan and Ax Woves, while remaining individual in a group display. As an exclusive, he is priced the same as a standard figure and here in the UK in particular was easy enough to source through our Fan Channel retailers.  K eep Track of all the Star Wars Black Series figures from Hasbro at our comprehensive Star Wars Black Series Collectors Database & Checklist If you are reading this via a 3rd party website that is importing our newsfeed, please come and visit us directly and give us a follow on Facebook , Twitter , and YouTube .

McFarlane has released full details for a trio of new Batman DC Multiverse releases with a new Batman Beyond; Neo-Gothic release, Batman: Noel, and a Silver Age Batman and Ace the Bat-hound. All three figures are general releases at McFarlane stockists with a release date that varies by store from December 2024 into January 2025. All of the releases include alternative hands, with Silver Age and Batman Beyond also coming with Batarangs. The usual display base and collectors card are also included. Terry McGinnis defeated the evil A.I. controlling Neo-Gotham and asserted himself as the one true Batman, but his next battle will bring him to the remains of Old Gotham. Children are going missing and being swallowed by the city's old bones. Batman Beyond will have to go underground, led by a mysterious splicer named Kyle the Catboi, to find the children and confront the city's buried sins. #1 New York Times Bestseller Inspired by Charles Dickens' immortal classic A Christmas Carol, Batman: Noel features different interpretations of the Dark Knight, along with his enemies and allies, in different eras. Along the way, Batman must come to terms with his past, present, and future as he battles villains from the campy 1960s to dark and brooding menaces of today, while exploring what it means to be the hero that he is. Members of Batman's supporting cast enact roles analogous to those from A Christmas Carol, with Robin, Catwoman, Superman, The Joker and more playing roles that will be familiar to anyone who knows Dickens' original holiday tale. The 1950s was a decade of change for the Dark Knight Detective, one that introduced new friends - and foes! These tales include the debuts of Ace the Bat Hound; Deadshot; the original Batwoman, Kathy Kane; Mr. Zero, who would go on to greater fame as the nefarious Mr. Freeze; the original Red Hood; and the pesky interdimensional pixie known as Bat-Mite. This was also an era of great inventiveness, with tales that revealed how Batman's own father, Thomas Wayne, was once a Batman himself; how Batman became a Superman-like hero on the distant planet Zur-En-Arrh; the secrets of Batman's utility belt; and the introduction of an all-new Batmobile!
