Our affiliate partner Forbidden Planet are due to receive their M'Baku BAF wave of Black Panther Marvel Legends figures in February - and we thought it was worth sharing their pricing on these at a fantastic £19.99 per figure. There is postage on top of this, £4.00 for a single figure or a flat £5.50 for more than one figure. Forbidden Planet also do not charge until the item is ready to dispatch. The Captain Marvel figures are also listed at the same price point of £19.99 each. These are down for a mid-February arrival.

NECA reveal their next Nightmare on Elm Street release as this 8 inch version of Freddy Krueger from Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Freddy will come with two head options. He will have the usual soft goods tailored clothes and these will include removable trench coat and hat. The figure is planned for 3rd quarter of 2019 (July - Sep) and will be packed in clamshell packaging. "This time, staying awake won’t save you. Introducing a new Freddy Krueger clothed action figure from Wes Craven’s New Nightmare! The seventh film in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise took the iconic character in a more menacing direction - closer to Craven’s original intentions for Freddy. This 8” figure is fully poseable and comes with two interchangeable heads, a removable trench coat and removable hat."

NECA have shared more new images of their upcoming 18 inch quarter scale Foot Soldier from the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. "From the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie! The faceless soldiers of the Foot Clan exist to carry out the bidding of their mysterious leader, The Shredder… and while they lack the skills to face the Turtles one-on-one, in great numbers they are a force to be reckoned with. The Foot Clan Soldier stands 18” tall and features over 30 points of articulation, including double knee and elbow joints. The figure is highly detailed and entirely accurate to the movie, and comes with an arsenal of ninja weapon accessories."

NECA have tweeted this new image which looks to be an 8 inch figure of Freddy Krueger from his 1994 outing in Wes Craven's New Nightmare. The 8 inch line is made up of figures with sculpted head and hand detail on a generuc body with soft good tailored clothing.

NECA have updated the details of their next Godzilla release with these images of the box design for their 1962 Godzilla figure. The 1962 Godzilla is taken directly from the movie King Kong vs Godzilla and the figure is fully articulated. It stands 6 inch tall and measures 12 inches from head to tail. The packaging represents a significant step change for NECA who's prior Godzilla releases have been sold in blister packaging. This new box design, akin to the Ultimate range of figures, allows for more artwork to be included. The design has been helped by an apparent easing of controls by Godzilla's owner, Toho. The figure is due for release in February "NECA continues to celebrate the most famous kaiju in the world in action figure form! This version of the beloved monster is based on the 1962 movie King Kong vs. Godzilla. The figure measures 6″ tall and 12” long from head to tail. It features over 30 points of articulation, including an articulated tail, and comes with an attachable blast effect!"

Doctor Who fans can look forward to more product landing in B&M Stores in 2019, starting with this new 4th Doctor and TARDIS. This box set includes a regenerated 4th Doctor in the 3rd Doctors clothes, a figure only released previously in the UK in the 50th Anniversary DVD gift set. This new B&M version will update the paint decor from the original 2013 release. The TARDIS is a repurposed 4th Doctor one from the original line. It's been repainted too with heavier weathering. The electronics have been removed. The packaging has been uodated for 2019 moving to a deep blue and using the new logo. For added value the insert of the box is a backdrop of the study in UNIT HQ. it includes a faded spot on the floor where the TARDIS stands and appropriate eta decoration like the Talons of Weng Chiang poster. This new set is scheduled for a February release and we would expect a £19.99 price point. Arriving at the same time are restocks of the three sets from last year with minor paint updates. Apparently Clara will lose her belt and Amy have updated jacket colouring. Bill Potts had a different hair bow colour and updated trousers. While The Brigadier gets a minor recolour to the uniform and the 4th Doctor some tweaks to his outfit. More sets are planned for later in 2019. We will share details on these when we have them.

NECA have shared some new images of their upcoming 8 inch Karate Kid figures, including what looks like the early stages of a packaging plan. The accompanying tweet indicates the intention to have releases 6 figures by the time we hit SDCC in July 2019. “Excited to see these coming together and we should have 6 figures out by #sdcc The packaging is awesome Remco inspired nostalgia infused greatness. #karatekid” We know that this six includes Daniel and two versions of Johnny as seen in these images. We are also getting a Mr Miyagi and a second Daniel in training, complete eith chopsticka and bonsai tree. Who the 6th figure is is unclear. I suspect quoting SDCC is deliberate and one of these sculpts will get an exclusive SDCC release.

No, it's not a new music video for Bohemian Rhapsody, this image is actually a tease from Mezco for their upcoming reveals at the New York Toy Fair. "Toy Fair is right around the corner, and we are gearing up to show you the exciting new product line-up for 2019! Stay tuned for upcoming blog posts with sneak peeks of what’s in store. There will be new reveals each week leading up to the largest industry toy convention in the world. That means new products from Living Dead Dolls, One:12 Collective, Mezco Designer Series, and a brand new line. " The One:12 Collective figures (6 inch scale) teased will be fully revealed as we start the run up to New York Toy Fair but we can make some good educated guesses now based on the silhouettes shown. Number 1 is obviously Hellboy, and most likely the new David Harbour version from the 2019 movie release. Number 2 has very comic book styled boots and hair cut and looks a little bit like a classic Linda Carter Wonder-Woman. It could also of course be a classic comic book character with the One:12 Collective doing quite a lot of classic X-Men recently? Number 3 looks very much like a Captain Marvel, which would make sense with her movie incoming for March 2019. The silhouette looks like Captain Marvel in her helmet and therefore could be the red and blue outfit, or the green and black Starforce version - if they do the sculpt then Mezco will likely do both. Number 4 has to be Harley Quinn, but Number 5 has us stumped at this point (let us know if you have any ideas?) The final one, Number 6, looks quite a lot like the Mezco mascot Gomez. Not sure how desirable that would be to collectors - so will have to see about this one.

Diamond Select Toys have unveiled their first new Select Action Figure for 2019. Psylocke is a further addition to the classic X-Men characters they started many years ago with Storm and Cyclops, and recently bolstered by the release of Beast and announcement of Rogue. Psylocke will, like the other X-Men releases, come with a diorama piece of the X-Men Danger room. She also looks to include her Katana, which is removable from the sheath. The figure will include two head options, one neutral and one more angry. The plan is also to include the clip on FX pieces we see in this alternative image (below) shared by Diamond. The figure is expected in June 2019. "A Diamond Select Toys release! You don't have to be psychic to know that Marvel Select have been requesting a Psylocke action figure for a long time, and now DST has delivered! Joining the legion of X-Men Select figures, Psylocke measures approximately 7" tall and comes packaged in the display-ready Select packaging, with side-panel artwork for shelf reference. Sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios!"

NECA are obviously proud of their newest reveal, the first ever action figure of Laurie Strode from the 2018 Halloween Movie, and the first figure ever of Jamie Lee Curtis. Laurie is an Ultimate release and will come in the deluxe box packaging. She will have two head options - one with her glasses, one without. In order to fight off Michael Myers she will be armed with a shotgun, rifle, revolver and a knife that fits into working a working sheath. The release date is quite loose at the moment as Q2 2019 (April - June). She should be priced around £25-£30 at UK retailers. "NECA is thrilled to announce a two-way action figure debut from the 2018 Halloween Movie! The Ultimate Laurie Strode action figure is not only the first ever figure of the character, but the first to feature the authorized likeness of Jamie Lee Curtis. Based on her appearance in the thrilling new #Halloween movie, Laurie stands over 7” tall and has received the Ultimate treatment, with over 25 points of articulation, and tons of attitude and accessories. The figure comes with 2 heads, shotgun, rifle, revolver, knife that fits into a sheath on her hip, and more. Display-friendly deluxe window box packaging with opening flap."

NECA's next movie Predator, the enormous Assassin Predator from the 2018 Shane Black movie, has been officially revealed and given a release date of the 2nd Quarter of 2019 (April - June). The Assassin is in the usual 7 inch scale, but stands nearly a foot tall in scale with what we saw in the movie. It includes two head options, one open mouth and one closed. There are swap out wrist blades and cannons and alternative hands depending on how you are posing him - open palmed or closed fist. As with all NECA release information, there are some gorgeous promotional shots alongside the usual stark catalogue images. The price on this is not going to be cheap with the US sites already quoting $50. Considering the size I'd expect UK retail to be around £50. "Predator (2018) – 7” Scale Action Figure – Deluxe Armored Assassin Predator From the new Predator movie directed by Shane Black! The Assassin Predator is in pursuit of the Fugitive Predator… And due to its massive size and genetic modifications (in its armored form it has nearly bulletproof exoskin) it has the clear advantage. The Deluxe Armored Assassin action figure stands nearly a foot tall and has two interchangeable heads, two pairs of hands, and a detachable wrist blade and wrist cannon. Comes in collector-friendly deluxe window box packaging with opening flap. Shipping Date: Q2 2019"

The Exclusive Starforce Captain Marvel Legends figure seems to getting ready to land in the UK. The figure looks fantastic, with the Captain in her Green Starforce Uniform.

The first official image of what the figure looks like as Minerva is as follows.
