Back in August of 2020, we shared the news that Judith Hoeg, who played April O'Neil in the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie, and NECA were teaming up to share with us the development of a new 7-inch April O'Neil action figure in the NECA line. Roll forward 7-months, and April is here, literally, and this month we will see Judith's Youtube channel share a series of behind-the-scenes videos of the new April in development. The first video is now live and shows the unpainted April. April is not in her iconic yellow raincoat (yet) but rather her business suit, complete with her handbag. Check out the full video below...

Walmart in the US is, as we heard in February, carrying a new NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle exclusive from NECA in the shape of a variant movie Shredder. 'Stealth Super Shredder' from the 1991 Turtle Movie Secret of the Ooze. I will be sold under the name of 'Shadow Master' Shredder. The figure is an homage to the Chef Boyardee mail-away figure from back in the early 90's.. This new Shredder is arriving in Walmart sores now, with these new images of the figure accompanying the arrival in stores. The Shredder lives! After suffering defeat at the hands of the turtles, the leader of the Foot Clan plots his revenge. Desperate to vanquish his foes, Shredder consumes the last bit of mutagen to transform himself into the hulking Super Shredder. Inspired by the classic mail-away figure from 1991, Super Shredder stands over 8" tall and is painted in an all-new dark deco scheme. He comes with a brand-new fabric cape, interchangeable hands, a bishamon yari, and a TGRI canister.

Another Marvel 1/10 Ar Scale statue is incoming from Iron Studios in the shape of Forge from X-Men. Forge is a standalone piece, and can also combine with other 1/10 statues as part of the wider X-Men vs Sentinel diorama. Forge is planned as a Quarter 4 release for 2021 The man known as Forge advances into battle over the rubble of the battlefield, with an unmistakable expression of fury, and carrying a true arsenal next to his cyborg body, he relentlessly attacks his enemies, after all, besides being a mutant master in technology, he is a proud warrior, native to the Cheyenne indigenous tribe. Thus, Iron Studios proudly presents its "Forge - X-Men - Bds Art Scale 1/10 - Iron Studios" statue. Created by Chris Claremont and John Romita Jr., in addition to his mutant power described as "Intuitive Engineering", which gives him the ability to invent or recreate any electronic device in his subconscious (seeing connections and logical conclusions imperceptible to ordinary humans), Forge is skilled with firearms of all sizes and has natural mystical abilities, being able to cast countless Cheyenne spells. In the 1990s, Claremont and Jim Lee decided to divide the main team of the X-Men into two different teams, thus the teams Blue and Gold emerged. As a member of the golden team, Forge had a big role, playing alongside Iceman, Archangel, Jean Grey, Colossus, and Bishop under Storm's command. In this phase, X-Men # 1 became one of the best-selling comic books of all time. Being part of the X-Men vs. Sentinel Diorama (who are controlled by Magneto) and his followers of the Mutant Brotherhood, Forge's statue also works just as well individually, as in designing a larger battle scenario, joining other members of the golden team or with other statues from the X-Men, according to the preference of each collector. - Limited edition - Made in polystone - Hand painted - Includes detachable weapon burst - Product dimensions: 8.6 in (H) x 6.6 in (W) x 7.8 in (L) - Product Weight: 1.4 lbs - MSRP: USD 169.99 (American US Dollars) - Release schedule: Fourth quarter of 2021 Checkout our blog page for more action figure news, reviews and store reports About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I.

Iron Studios are pleased to share the details of their next Marvel Comics 1/10 Art Scale Release, Quicksilver. The statue will feature Pietro in full flow as he runs across a rapidly disintegrating scene on the diomaram base. Son of a gypsy couple, Pietro Maximoff was born in Serbia but was taken to Wundagore Mountain, in the Transia Mountains, a fictional country in Eastern Europe, along with his twin sister Wanda (the Scarlet Witch), and both were kidnapped as a baby by the geneticist High Evolutionary, who subjected them to genetic experiments that gave them special powers. His powers originally allowed him to move at the speed of sound, but, as time went by, his superhuman gifts were improved, and today the full extent of his abilities is unknown. Pietro and Wanda always believed that they were born mutants. They were rescued by Magneto and joined his Brotherhood of Mutants, where he got the code name Quicksilver. After disconnecting from the terrorist group of mutants, both sought refuge and redemption in the Avengers, where they were welcomed by Captain America and incorporated into a new team. For years he believed that he was Magneto's son, but he discovered his origins by facing the High Evolutionary. Although he is an ally of the X-Men and has acted as a member of groups such as the X-Factor and the Inhumans, Pietro never completely detached himself from his heroic roots as an avenger, eventually returning to the team. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1964, the "Fastest Man on Earth" (in the Marvel universe), finally wins his comic book-inspired version in the "Quicksilver BDS Art Scale 1/10 Statue - Marvel Comics - Iron Studios" (who will soon have the mystical support of his sister), in a dynamic pose on a base with effects that express all his power, where the sprinter hero joins forces with the X-Men to face Magneto, the Sentinel Robots that are controlled by Magneto and his Mutant Brotherhood ... Would the sprinter, who still believes that he is the son of the master of magnetism, be at the side of the Brotherhood? Only you, dear collector, will be able to give this answer, configuring your diorama as you wish, or even placing it next to the Avengers figures, because, in the versatile trajectory of this hero, he is always running throughout the Marvel universe. - Limited edition - Made in polystone - Hand painted - Product dimensions: 8.2 in (H) x 6.2 in (W) x 10.6 in (L) - Product Weight: 1.1 lbs - MSRP: USD 159.99 (American US Dollars) - Release schedule: Fourth quarter of 2021 Checkout our blog page for more action figure news, reviews and store reports About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I.
