So we went and had a few days lie down after Toy Fair (poorly) and missed on this fantastic new Star Wars Black Series 6 inch set that popped up on the Hasbro Pulse. The set is badged as a 4 figure set, but that is pushing it a little. It contains a Kylo Ren which looks to be a re-use of the Episode 8 Kylo Ren with a helmeted head. There is then a Commander Pyre from the new Resistance TV show in his Golden Armour. And a third figure of a Mountain Trooper, apparently from Galaxies Edge. The Mountain Trooper looks similar to the new troopers we saw in Rogue One, so it will be interesting if it fits in that particular era or is being recycled into the First Order. The fourth "figure" is the MSE "Mouse" droid - a first for the line. It seems this will be an exclusive to the new Star Wars Galaxies Edge at Disney Parks. We would hope this is not as limited as it sounds and perhaps we can get a Disney Store release too? We await more details.

It appears the recently revealed Marvel Select Wasp is not the only figure going into Disney stores as an exclusive. This image of a companion Ant-Man has now appeared and shows an updated Ant-Man figure from Ant-Man and the Wasp, along with mini figures of what looks to be a Hank Pym Ant-Man and Janet Van Dyne Wasp. Expect this to show up in Disney stores soon

A new image has been circulated of the SH Figuarts Revenge of the Sith Yoda figure, which looks to be a Bandai Webstore exclusive. The details are not overly clear, but there seems to be two head options and a Jedi council chair included. Obviously the ability to sit in the throne, and achieve the fighting poses shown, the figure is going to need other swap out body parts.

NECA have released images of the blister packaging for their new Spyro the Dragon figure.

One of the teased Mezco One:12 figures ahead of Toy Fair was their Gomez 6 inch action figure, a figure of the company's own mascot. Press attending the event found one of these in their promotional press bag and the figure has been going for crazy money on eBay. Do not fear, it seems Mezco will be releasing Gomez - albeit limited - later in the Summer (July - September) in his Agent Gomez gear. US collectors can pre-order now at Mezco. "Prepared for any inter-dimensional mission, this insecta-sapien of mystery comes complete with an impressive arsenal consisting of a takedown “construct-rifle” that forms several weapons and conceals neatly in his boom box sidekick, Boom Boom. Also included are his trusty Cosmic Pea-Shooter, a small blaster pistol with a big kick, the Zip-Sword with sheath and adjustable cross-body strap, and two Doom Cocktail grenades. Dapper in his 2-piece suit, the Mezco Toyz mascot comes with a removable trench coat with an integrated posing wire in the belt. If that wasn’t enough, Gomez includes three interchangeable heads: his classic look, an updated modern look, a roach head, and a skull because skulls are always fun! Gomez, sole operating agent of The Void, receives instructions by a combined subliminal broadcast and interface with his boom box, Boom Boom. What adventures lie ahead - you decide."

The Mattel Brachiosaurus was teased ahead of Toy Fair 2019 but never actually made an appearance at the Mattel panel or on display. Oddly, a day after the show closed we are now given this full image of the Brachiosaurus. The dino is coming to retail as a Target US exclusive. There are no details as yet of a wider international release.
