  • New images of the Diamond Select Lord of the Rings Saruman and Samwise Gamgee

    The next pair of Lord of the Rings figures from Diamond Select will be Samwise Gamgee and Saruman the White. Diamond have released some new imagery for this duo via Preternia. Samwise will come with his elven cloak - something that was dropped from the Frodo release - and a number of other accessories, although it is not confirmed what. Saruman has his Staff and Palantir and also features what they are listing as "interchangeable sleeves" which will hopefully alleviate the posing issues we have seen on Gandalf and the Ring Wraith with the long draping sleeves. The figures are due for release in Q1 (Jan-March) 2024. You can keep track of the Diamond Select Lord of the Rings releases, and more, at our Diamond Select Collector Database. A Diamond Select Toys release! The journey continues! As seen in Peter Jackson’s epic Lord of the Rings movies, heroic Hobbit Samwise Gamgee faces off with wizard Saruman the White in the superlative sixth series of 1:10 scale action figures! The 5.5-inch tall Sam includes an Elven cloak and a variety of accessories, and the 7.5-inch Saruman includes his staff and Palantir, plus interchangeable sleeves! Each figure comes packaged in a full-color window box. Designed by Eamon O’Donoghue, sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios! To manage our storage costs, news article images are archived after 12-months.

  • McFarlane DC Multiverse releases of The Riddler, Catman, and Superboy-Prime 'Patina Edition'

    McFarlane have released the details of three new DC Multiverse figures coming later this Summer. The first is the classic Riddler as previewed earlier in July. The Riddler is a general release and will come with his cane, four pair of hands, and the usual collector card and stand. Riddler is a September 2023 release. Up next is a Gold Label Exclusive release of Catman from Villians United. Catman features a soft goods cape, alternative hands, claw hands, and a pair of knives. Catman also comes with the usual base and display stand and is an August 2023 release. He is exclusive in the US to the McFarlane Store and should have a UK release via general stockists courtesy of the Bandai UK distribution. The final figure is a Gold Label variant of the Superboy-Prime figure from Infinite Crisis. This 'Patina Edition' features a bronzed paint job giving Superboy a statue effect. This is another McFarane Store Exclusive and it comes in the closed box collector packaging and includes stands for the figure and the included art card. The set is an August 2023 release and is limited to 4010 units. It is unclear if this will make its way to UK collectors. Keep track of all the McFarlane DC Multiverse releases at our McFarlane Collector Database. Edward Nygma™ found his ticket to the big time as an employee of Wayne Industries™. Securing the role of advisor to Philip Kane— Bruce Wayne’s uncle, who ran the Wayne corporation when Bruce left to train to become the Batman™ — Nygma began plotting his takeover of the city. An expert strategist, with genius-level knowledge of history, it was not long before Nygma adopted the guise of a Super-Villain, calling himself The Riddler™! Morally ambiguous and bored, Thomas Blake worked as a big-game hunter, tracking big cats and selling them to zoos. His cat obsession led him to a Pacifc island, home to a cat cult, from whom he stole a sacred cat carving and the cloth that covered it. Back in Gotham City, Blake became a costumed criminal equipped with feline-themed accessories inspired by Catwoman and Batman, including catarangs and a turbocharged cat-car. He eventually led the mercenaries-for-hire Secret Six, a team of anti-heroes doing as much good as they did evil acts. An alternate reality version of Superman, Superboy-Prime comes from an Earth where the DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains were fictional characters, until the day his powers were activated and he became his world's sole superhuman. But after his planet was destroyed in the Crisis on Infinite Earths, he became unhinged over time and eventually clashed with the Super Heroes of the main DC universe in the Infinite Crisis event. Ultimately, Superboy-Prime was defeated and imprisoned in the Source Wall, the barrier that surrounds the universe, only to break free when it was destroyed years later. However, when another crisis threatened all of reality, Superboy-Prime proved himself a hero once again and helped save the DC Multiverse.
