Hiya Toys were off the mark early with the SDCC 2024 previews and reveals with a sneak peek of their new 1/12 Exquisite Basic scale Contra: Operation Galuga figures of Bill Rizer and Lance Bean. We initially saw these as unpainted teasers back in May 2024, but these new SDCC preview images show the fully painted figures. From the Hiya Booth itself we get a look at a lot of the new Godzilla and Kong figures including a new prototype Godzilla 2000. In the Exquisite Super 6-inch scale line we get a look at the previously announced Sulu from Star Trek, and Andrew Scott from Universal Soldiers. There are also new Walking Dead 6-inch figures of Negan and Daryl. Also on display was a new Star Trek Enterprise ship, there are limited details as to what this is and how it will be released.

The wave is made up of new figures of 1966 TV Batman, Batman/Superman Fusion from World's Finest, and a Dick Grayson Batman Reborn The new wave is down to arrive in September 2024 and you can see these and all the other DC Multiverse releases from McFarlane at our Collector Database Kapow! The debonair millionaire Bruce Wayne may seem like your average cool cat, but you would be wrong! With the flip of a Shakespeare head bust and… to the Batcave! Gotham City is filled with a rogue’s gallery of criminals eager to unmask the Batman, but they are thwarted by the Caped Crusader’s own clever ways. As Robin and Supergirl race to retrieve the secrets of the Devil Nezha from ancient China, Batman and Superman get more than they bargained for in the present! To save humanity from the fires of the demon, the World’s Finest must go toe-to-toe with the protector of Sector 2814...Hal Jordan. Using their combined willpower, Batman and Superman wrest away Hal's power ring, amalgamating into an invincible new super hero! Evil wins as Darkseid’s forces conquer the Earth, succeeding in “killing” Batman, until Superman leads a revolt to stop the tyrant. By the end of the series, it is revealed that Bruce Wayne is merely displaced in time; he eventually finds his way home in 2010, while Dick Grayson, as Batman, protects Gotham City. Always an optimist and one to make light of nearly any situation, when Dick stepped into the role of Batman, he made quite the contrast to Damian Wayne, a brooding and troubled young Robin.
