After their reveal at Paris Comic Con, we now have images of the Star Wars figures unveiled in Paris by the Hasbro Team. For the Black Series we have Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi from Episode 2, Attack of the Clones. Anakin re-uses the previously released Episode 3 body with a new head sculpt - complete with Padawan braids. Anakin is presented before he loses his hand to Count Dooku. Anakin Skywalker: with the potential to become one of the most powerful Jedi ever, some believed Anakin Skywalker to be the prophesied chosen one who would bring balance to the force. Star Wars: Attack of the Clones: fans and collectors can imagine scenes from the Star Wars Galaxy with this premium Anakin Skywalker (padawan) toy, inspired by the Star Wars: Attack of the Clones movie Obi-Wan looks to be using the recently released Episode 1 body, with a new Attack of the Clones era head sculpt. Neither of the figures looks to include a soft goods cloak as was included with Mace Windu. Both get their appropriate lightsabers. Obi-wan Kenobi: a legendary Jedi master, Obi-Wan Kenobi trained Anakin Skywalker, served as a general in the Republic Army during the clone Wars, and guided Luke Skywalker as a mentor. Star Wars: Attack of the Clones: fans and collectors can imagine scenes from the Star Wars Galaxy with this premium Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Knight) toy, inspired by the Star Wars: Attack of the Clones movie Both Anakin and Obi-Wan are scheduled for a release in May 2020 and there are pre-orders being taken - even though the makeup of the full wave is as yet unknown. This includes links on Amazon US for both Anakin and Obi-Wan (paid links). In the 3.75 inch Vintage Collection, images are now revealed for Cara Dune from The Mandalorian. She will be released in early May 2020 and again pre-orders are being taken at your retailer of choice, including Amazon US (paid link) Cara Dune: an intimidating brawler and crack shot, Cara Dune has put her days of military discipline behind her, and now has reinvented herself as a Mercenary.

Following the confirmation of Demogoblin as the BAF at Paris Comic Con, the final images and details of the 2020 Spider-Man wave have been released by Hasbro and the set is up for pre-order at your retailer of choice for a Spring 2020 release. Vulture is going to be packed with both a Toomes head and what we assume is a Blackie Drago head for alternative options on display.

New packaged images have been released for the next Transformers Studio Series releases of WW2 Hot Rod, Soundwave and the Arcee Triplets - Chromia, Arcee and Elita-1. The figures are down for a 2020 release.

Following on from their Paris Comic Con reveals, Hasbro hosted a Marvel panel at MCM London - and in line with Paris, confirmed two new figures for the line for 2020. The official press release and images have now been sent over. The first reveal was Spy Master, a lesser known villain from 1971 who was usually faced off against Iron-Man. He is down for a Spring 2020 release and therefore fits being included in a combined Black Widow wave shared between MCU and Comic Book - this is also the likely home of the Winter Soldier we saw revealed in Paris. Also included in the press pack was a new image of Strong Guy who is an Autumn 2020 release. He is the BAF for a Deadpool X-Force wave which includes the already announced Warpath, X-Force Sunspot and the Yellow & Blue Deadpool. MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES 6-INCH SPY MASTER Figure (HASBRO/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99/Available: Spring 2020) MARVEL DEADPOOL LEGENDS SERIES 6-INCH STRONG GUY Build-A-Figure (HASBRO/Available: Fall 2020) The second figure revealed at MCM is another BAF, a Super Skrull. He will be the BAF for the already announced wave of Fantastic Four figures - a wave that includes Mr Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, Thing, She-Hulk and Doctor Doom. Super Skrull will come with two heads and alternative powered and unpowered arms. MARVEL FANTASTIC FOUR LEGENDS SERIES 6-INCH SUPER SKRULL Build-A-Figure (HASBRO/Available: Spring 2020) This Fantastic Four wave is now up for pre-order and full gallery released for each figure, the BAF part and the packaging.

After revealing Wave 3 of the Power Rangers Lightning Collection line at Paris Comic Con, Hasbro rolled into MCM London and gave fans their first glimpse at Wave 4 for 2020. They revealed the first figure from the Wave as the Blue Ranger from Power Rangers Zeo. Like most of the Rangers to date, the Blue Ranger will have both masked and unmasked head options as well as his Power Axes, gun, alternative hands and FX pieces. The accompanying promotional text also indicates that the S.P.D. Red Ranger and the Beast Morphers Villain, Blaze, will also be part of the Wave 4 line up. We may see these revealed fully at upcoming conventions in Lucca Italy and Barcelona. POWER RANGERS LIGHTNING COLLECTION 6” ZEO BLUE RANGER Figure (Ages 4 years & up/Approx.

As announced at Paris Comic Con, Hasbro have shared the promotional images for their 2020 planned releases of the Winter Soldier and the Demogoblin. Both figures are listed as a Spring 2020 release. We know Demogoblin will sit in the 2020 Spider-Man wave as the build-a-figure. The wave will also include the two Spider-Man PS4 figures, Shang-Chi, Superior Octopus, White Rabbit and Vulture. With confirmation of the BAF for this wave we also get an image of the final wave which confirms that Vulture will have two head options - Toomes and an alternative Drago head. Winter Soldier is a likely bet for a Black Widow wave in Spring which will be a combination, as usual, of MCU figures from her solo movie and comic book figures like Winter Soldier. MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES 6-INCH WINTER SOLDIER Figure (HASBRO/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99/Available: Spring 2020) MARVEL SPIDER-MAN LEGENDS SERIES 6-INCH DEMOGOBLIN Build-A-Figure (HASBRO/Available: Spring 2020)

Hasbro have released the promotional images for the Star Wars figures revealed at MCM London Comic Con. The Knight of Ren looks impressive, and comes with 2 weapons. At a follow up Q+A Hasbro have clarified they will wait to see the movie and how the Knights of Ren work in the film before committing to further figures. Zorii Bliss will come with two blasters. It is worth noting that in the press release the price on these has gone from $19.99 to $21.49 which indicates a price rise on the base RRP for the US at least in 2020. The two figures are in for a Spring 2020 release slot. STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES 6-INCH KNIGHT OF REN Figure (HASBRO/Ages 4 & up/Approx. Retail Price: $21.49/Available: Spring 2020) STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES 6-INCH ZORII BLISS Figure (HASBRO/Ages 4 & up/Approx. Retail Price: $21.49/Available: Spring 2020) The Vintage Release of The Mandalorian has a set of images, but no promo text at this stage and all we heard at the panel was it is a 2020 release.

Super7 have shown off the proposed (awaiting licensor approval) packaging for their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Ultimates 7 inch figures. Each figure is due for release in 2020 and are up for pre-order through October 2019. The post that shared these images also confirmed that each pack would contain a set of painted weapons, and as a nod to the original figures a second set unpainted on a wooden frame - you can see these in the images. The new 7 inch scale figures will come in the shaped box packaging with a very 1990s era brickwork design. "The pre-order for the Super7 debut of the Wave 1 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ultimate Figures will close next week on Thursday - October 31st. Here is a preview of the Ultimate TMNT deluxe packaging (subject to final approval)! The debut wave includes: Raphael, Foot Soldier, Splinter, and Baxter Stockman! Each 7" super-articulated deluxe action figure is available separately. Each will feature a huge variety of interchangeable parts and accessories including a PAINTED set of weapons in addition to an UNPAINTED set of weapons still on their rack.

2019 see's the biggest ever range of 5 inch Doctor Who figures as B&M Stores exclusives, and also includes the first collaboration with Big Finish to produce three Doctor & Dalek 2-packs based on the Big Finish audio series. Packaging 4/5 The 2019 B&M sets carry a new packaging design that is essentially a deep blue box intersected with silver inserts that are illustrated as the TARDIS. The sets use the new Who logo, but in a silver colour. The figures themselves are presented in a window that wraps the top and right flaps of the box. The window is perhaps a little undersized and the Dalek is partially obscured by the left hand wrap of the box. Under the window sits the character names as the War Doctor and Dalek Scientist. To the right of this is the Big Finish Logo alongside the Character badge. And above the set name, stuck on the window, is a "limited edition" gold badge. The Big Finish sets are a step up on the other B&M sets thanks to their gorgeous artwork on the left hand side, taken directly from the Big Finish cover designs. On the back of the box we have the actual CD cover art for the story on which the set is based (A Thing of Guile) as well as an in depth overview - although it seems to lose its train of thought about halfway through the explanation of the story. "A THING OF GUILE The Time War is raging across the universe - past, present, future - as the Daleks and Time Lords are locked in an eternal conflict. To break this deadlock, both combatants are trying to find new and deadlier weapons to eliminate their foes. Once, the Time Lords were a peaceful race, but under their Lord President Eternal, Rassilon, they've grown in military might and strength, their policy of non-intervention being discarded. The Time Lord once known as the Doctor - a last apparent conscience for his people - has stopped some of their worst schemes, including resurrecting their own dead with ancient spirits from the past. War Council member Cardinal Ollistra, who assigns the renegade Time Lord with his missions, has captured him and keeps him prisoner on an artron leash - now known as Prisoner 1010. Ollistra has discovered the Daleks are developing a secret weapon on Asteroid Theta 12 - and is vital for the Time Lords to learn what it is. A team of Dalek scientists, working independently from Dalek High Command, have created their ultimate weapon of war, but will Prisoner 101 find out what the result of their experiment is, before it's too late." Paint & Sculpt 3/5 The War Doctor is essentially a re-use of the original 2015 John Hurt figure, although in this incarnation we have lost the scarf. The likeness to Hart is one of the best of the line and the paint apps are neat, albeit quite basic. The body is a little out of proportion with the coat making him very broad shouldered. The paint on the outfit however is impressive with a very distressed look for this coat and defined colours for the other layers underneath - including the bandoleer and waistcoat, complete with silver buttons. While the 2015 War Doctor was a good figure, I think this 2019 re-release does edge it slightly in terms of paint finish and overall looks. Our Dalek Scientist is another repaint of a existing sculpt, this time the new series Dalek in its newer better proportioned shape. Colouring remains similar to the generic releases of this dalek with bronze base plastic and painted panels round the mid section. The roundels are now painted silver, as is the dome. For some reason the dome coverage is poor and it looks like a bad custom attempt - the silver obviously did not take well to the original dome colour. Accessories N/A The set comes with no accessories. The Sonic Screwdriver originally packed with the War Doctor in 2015 is not included - despite the right hand still being shaped to hold it. Articulation 3/5 The War Doctor, being a newer release, comes with the same 16 points of articulation but with the added benefit of the shoulder now being mobile in more than one direction using a pivot peg. Head : neck post swivel Body : waist post swivel Arms : shoulder post peg, bicep swivel, jointed elbow, peg wrist Legs : T-Joint hips, thigh swivel, jointed knee This means the arms are more mobile for posing and are not restricted to a single circle of movement around the shoulder. Legs can get into seated positions if needed as well as wider stances. Our Dalek has 4 points of articulation - ball jointed mobile sucker and gun, and a eye stalk that moves up and down. The final joint is in the nec which allows the dome to rotate a full 360 degrees. The Dalek can also be moved around thanks to 3 wheels on its base - two are fixed and a rotating castor wheel. Summary For £19.99 this set provides good value in that you get a very good John Hurt War Doctor figure and a new series Dalek variant. The set does have some flaws though, particularly around the painting of the Dalek and the lack of even the smallest of accessories for the Doctor. I score the War Doctor and Dalek Scientist and above average 3 out of 5. See More Doctor Who Figures

The Tamashii Nations Event 2019 in Tokyo has seen a showcase of Marvel SH Figuarts figures based on the MCU. Most are figures we have seen teased before, but checkout the new "instant kill mode" Iron-Spider and that Rescue figure. We also get another look at the Endgame Iron-Man, Hulk, Captain America and Thor figures. The tickets on the new products indicate a full reveal at Tokyo Comic Con, this takes place 22nd to 24th November 2019.

Paris Comic Con announcements for Star Wars 6 inch Black Series 2020 will see us get two new versions of Obi-Wan and Anakin, both in their Attack of the Clones attire. The figures include the appropriate lightsaber accessory. Vintage Collection The Paris Panel revealed a 3.75" Cara Dune from The Mandalorian. She looks awesome, and we would have to assume that the titular character is also coming and may be a future reveal in this coming week of Comic Con panels.
