  • McFarlane DC Multiverse slimmed-down carded figures of The Joker, DC Rebirth Batman, and Justice League Superman in black suit

    Revealed at Comics & Cocktails are a new wave of the McFarlane DC Multiverse slimmed-down carded figures. This line was first released last year, taking existing figures and stripping out accessories and putting them on a small footprint card and blister. In the US, these first figures were created for the Ross Dress for Less discount outlet. We assume this new wave will also head to Ross in the US, while here in the UK, there is availability via stockists, thanks to the UK distributor. This time round, the wave features The Joker from Death of the Family, DC Rebirth Batman, and the black suit Superman from the Justice League movie. The trio of carded figures are due in July 2026. We've added them to our extensive McFarlane Collector Database Once a small-time crook, The Joker fell into a vat of chemicals that turned his skin white, his hair green, and his lips red—like a crazed clown. His crimes always involve pranks and jokes ending with twisted punchlines that are only funny to The Joker. He may look like he’s clowning around, but this guy is bad news for Batman and Gotham City! As a child, Bruce Wayne watched as his parents were brutally killed in Gotham City’s Crime Alley. Traumatized by their deaths, he devoted his life to becoming the worlds greatest weapon against crime – the Batman! To become the ultimate vigilante, the Dark Knight disciplined his mind and body to reach the pinnacle of mental and physical superiority in his relentless pursuit of Justice Once the world’s most powerful and iconic Super Hero, Superman personified a higher calling to truth and justice and a deep respect for all humanity. The absence of this fallen idol, whose sacrifice stunned the world, inspires the formation of the Justice League. To manage our storage costs, news article images are archived after 12-months.

  • McFarlane Hellboy Collector Platinum Edition Chase Variant

    The new McFarlane Hellboy figure will have a Platinum Edition 'Chase' version, short-packed into the case assortments. This version has Hellboy with full horns and flaming crown. You also get alternative right and left hands, sword, and the Samaritan pistol. The figure is packed into the same McFarlane Collector Edition packaging, stickered with the Platinum Edition badge. We've added this variant to our extensive McFarlane Collector Database On December 23, 1944, a small red demonlike creature appeared in flames at a ruined church in East Bromwich, England, coinciding with the end of Rasputin’s Ragna Rak project; Trevor Bruttenholm, sensing more to it than its appearance suggested, named it Hellboy. When the Americans took Hellboy to New Mexico for study, Bruttenholm accompanied him and founded the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense with U.S. support to investigate occult activities. He worked closely with Hellboy during this time and grew fond of him. In 1946, Bruttenholm officially adopted the two-year-old Hellboy.

  • Review: Star Wars Black Series Jedi Master Dooku from Tales of the Jedi, Galaxy Collection Fan Channel Wave

    “My friend, your devotion to rules is sometimes inspiring and sometimes maddening.” The first Star Wars Black Series release for one of the Star Wars 'Tales Of' anthology series was announced in late 2025, a new figure of Jedi Master Dooku as seen in the Tales of the Jedi from 2022. Dooku would be part of a larger Amazon / Fan Channel wave that also featured the likes of Quinlon Vos from The Clone Wars, the Seventh Sister from Rebels, and Kyle Katarn from the Dark Forces video game. The wave landed in stores in March of 2026. Jedi Master Dooku is presented in the usual Black Series box, with a blue assigned colour tone. This is now confirmed as being the Galaxy Collection for Star Wars Animation Shorts & Anthologies, such as Tales of the Jedi, but also the Visions series. While collected into a single collection, each figure retains confirmation of the source material on the box in blue text, with the same colouring used on the character name and on the side artwork. This illustration shows a clean-shaven Jedi Master Dooku with his lightsaber raised in one hand, and his other hand gesturing with the force. Behind him, we can see the background is that of the Wayyl village, as seen in the episode “Justice” where we first see Jedi Master Dooku.    Dooku is numbered 02 in the collection, meaning his artwork connects directly to that of The Ronin  from Star Wars Visions. This artwork repeats on the back of the box, where we also have a short piece of text that talks about Dooku’s role in the Jedi order before he joined the Dark Side and became Count Dooku. The backing card, seated behind the inner plastic tray housing the figure and accessories, is also colour coordinated in blue and within this is also a background image of the Wayyl village.  Out of the box, Dooku is presented as we first see him in the episode Justice. The robes follow the basic premise of the Jedi robes, but carry with them the cut of the future Count’s Serenno robes design. The upper tunic is a two part piece, with a golden brown inner robe overlaid with a softer plastic darker brown piece that crosses at the waist. It continues into the lower skirt piece, cast in softer plastic and topped with a simple painted belt featuring some level of sculpted patterns, but no paint. The arms use the same golden brown colouring, inclusive of folded and creased cloth sculpting. The legs are a further darker shade of brown, again pleated and folded and tucked into a pair of knee high gloss black boots. The outfit is then finished with the soft goods cape, which uses a similar material to the usual Jedi robes, but with a fitted shoulder cowl with a striped design. This is joined under the neckline with a simple plastic clasp, fixed through the fabric and into the torso. This fixing makes the cape non-removable. This clasp is left unpainted in a base grey and looks a little cheap, considering that in the episodes in which Dooku features, this is clearly a metal chain of sorts.  The first head sculpt is the clean-shaven Dooku, and a brilliant likeness to a young Christopher Lee, recogniseable from his earlier career in the 50’s and 60’s. The usual facial printing tech is employed to enhance this likeness to an increased level of realism, and this realism is, as per usual, very much made to look like a live-action character and not the stylised animation on which it is based.  You also get a second head featuring a bearded Dooku, which then replicates the look from the episode Choices, and that would work in passing from the third and final outing, ‘The Sith Lord’, although in this one, the beard is longer, more pointed and greying. Hasbro have again been smart in using obvious references from Christopher Lee’s career, with this slightly older Dooku using the likeness we would recognise from the late 60s and 1970s, such as Scaramanga, albeit this time with a beard.  The heads swap easily enough, and both heads look great on the Jedi Master body. The look you choose for display is very much influenced by the story and either the younger Dooku, master to Qui-Gon Jinn, or the more jaded Jedi Master on a mission with Mace Windu. The previous Dooku figure was that of the Count, released first in 2020  and updated slightly in 2025  as a Revenge of the Sith Anniversary release with tweaked facial paint work and cape. This 2026 release of Jedi Master Dooku does take the entire bottom half from that first figure, re-using the legs and hips entirely. The new version also uses the same upper arms, but has reworked the lower arms and the full torso and skirt to reflect the Jedi outfit. For those who were considering a head swap to put the younger Dooku onto the older Count of Serenno body, it is possible, but it will need work. The ball-jointed neck peg on the new figure is smaller than the one on the older Count Dooku body, so you will need to either remove the ball joint completely and use some tack or a different neck peg. Or you would need to have it shaved down to accommodate the newer head.  2026 Dooku head on the 2025 ROTS Anniversary Body I must admit, that there is a definite sinister look when the older bearded head is applied to the Count Dooku body, an off screen look that works really well for those who want to explore that part of Dooku’s final fall to the Dark Side and his return to the planet of Serenno, and as notably covered in the novel Dooku: Jedi Lost. 2026 Dooku head on the 2025 ROTS Anniversary Body The sole accessory for Dooku, as we would expect, is his lightsaber. This is the same curved blade as released with the 2020 figure, but now devoid of any real decor and left in a cheap grey/silver plastic with a grey cap piece at one end. Considering how beautiful the original lightsaber was, coloured in silver with black and red painted detail, this is a significant downgrade. It has a plug on one end that connects to a socket on Dooku’s left hip for a slung position.  It fits into either or both hands, and accepts the usual translucent blade in a blue tone through the upper emitter and the plug and click socket. This wave is also the first to feature the ‘swoosh’ blades for all four of its characters, and the triangular effects blade also slots into place using the same connection. This dynamic effect is considerably heavier than the usual blade, so it can cause some drooping issues, and is very much a personal choice as to your preference over effects. Dooku features a total of 19 points of articulation, which gives him a good level of all round movement. The arms include the butterfly shoulders, widening the range for lightsaber posing, particularly two handed grips. The waste has a small bit of movement in the ball joint between the upper torso and the hips, but nothing extensive. Despite a twin-joint neck, the shape of the collar and Dooku’s hair limits this to rotating only.  The legs, being from an older figure, still feature thigh swivel, but this is hidden behind the lower skirt of the tunic. This skirt section is a softer plastic, and with a split at either side, it will allow the legs to be extended out for sitting or kneeling poses, although this will look a little odd as the plastic cannot mimic cloth. The cape, being soft goods, supports all movements. Stability, a minor concern on the original Dooku figure, carries into this one with slightly weaker ankles than we might like, but in the main, Dooku once stood holds his position. It is worth noting that the foot peg holes are smaller than usual, so they won’t take the standard stands.  Jedi Master Dooku is an impressive figure, most notably thanks to the two wonderful Christopher Lee headsculpts included. The figure translates perfectly into a real-world setting, borrowing the relevant parts from the original Revenge of the Sith Dooku accordingly. It also maintains the proportions we expect from Dooku and Lee’s 6-foot-5-inch fame. There are a couple of areas that feel out of place and cheap compared to the rest of the figure, the chain for the cape and the lightsaber hilt. A touch more love on these, and the figure would be pushing perfect.  The lightsaber blades work well for those who use them, and the articulation allows for a reasonable level of posing from neutral and menacing stances to lightsaber duel positions, with a soft goods cape that is tailored to a level it works with the frame of the figure and hangs naturally. The only downside presently is context for display, with Jedi Master Dooku, the first figure from Tales of the Jedi and currently without any supporting figures. Like the Ronin from the same Animation collection, he will hold his own for now, but let’s hope we can add a Padawan Qui-Gon Jinn or a Master Yaddle at some stage to sit with him.

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 licences - 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...
