NECA have revealed their packaging design for the Guillermo del Toro Collection Pale Man figure. The set uses a similar design to the Ultimate Series with a closed box with an opening flap to reveal the figure - and his throne - within. "The second release in NECA’s new collaboration with renowned director Guillermo del Toro! The Guillermo del Toro Signature Collection brings select characters from del Toro’s movies to life in premium action figure format with deluxe added elements. From the dark fantasy film Pan’s Labyrinth, the grotesque Pale Man is super-poseable and comes with a detailed Underworld Throne. Collectible deluxe window boxed packaging."

NECA have confirmed the full details of a brand new Friday the 13th Jason Ultimate figure, this time from the 2009 remake. Celebrating the movie's 10th anniversary, Ultimate 2009 Jason will be released in the first quarter of 2019. He includes to head options, one of which then has a removable mask. The figure uses a newer body with more articulation and is packed full of accessories - machete, axe, fire poker, hammer and screwdriver. Expect to be paying around £25-£30 for this when it goes up for UK pre-order "Friday the 13th – 7” Scale Action Figure – Ultimate 2009 Jason For the 10th anniversary of the 2009 Friday the 13th reboot, NECA presents the Ultimate 2009 Jason action figure!

Comes in display-friendly window box packaging with opening flap."

While it seems SH Figuarts are doing the Harry Potter movie figures, Medicom have snatched the licence for the Fantastic Beast films (or are at least sharing). At Tokyo Comic Con the MAFEX stand had this prototype sculpt of Newt Scamander on display - complete with his trusty suitcase. Considering this is an early none painted piece we would think release could be as far away as 2020.

The SH Figuarts Marvel display at the Tokyo Comic Con included this awesome Iron-Man Hall of Armour display. The display is made up of released Iron-Man figures, and a number that up until the show had not been seen before as prototypes or early samples. They were all listed as "display only" so there is no definitive release date - if they get released at all - and we should bear in mind that the majority of Iron-Man armours are an exclusive release. Mark 1 Iron-Man, Mark 17 Heartbreaker & Mark 20 Python Mark 21 Midas, Mark 22 Hot Rod (already announced and confirmed), Mark 33 Silver Centurion and Mark 40 (Shotgun)

Pre-orders have opened for the Marvel Legends Spider-man Kingpin wave across the UK and US. With the pre-order details are the official images showing the Build-A-figure breakdown for Kingpin. The wave is made up of Black Suit Spider-Man, Silver Sable, 6-Arm Spider-Man, Black Cat, Night Thrasher, Puma and The Red Goblin. The build-a-figure is of course The Kingpin.

The Hasbro Pulse has announced that the previously teased Marvel Legends Mystique figure will be a Walgreens (US) exclusive for 2019. The figure will include three head options. The first is that of Mystique, while the second is a new Rogue head, depicting her absorbing Mystique's mutant powers - we would expect you can probably swap this with the head on the actual X-Men Rogue figure arriving in 2019. The third head is that of Princess-Majestrix Lilandra Neramani and seems to be an odd inclusion and may be one of those bonus pieces the Legends team like to throw in for use at a later stage or with another figure. The Shi'ar Empire leader has a past with the X-Men and there are rumours of her appearance in X-Men Dark Phoenix. The figure is armed with a large gold futuristic weapon and a smaller handgun. These do not look brilliant due to a severe lack of paint apps.

The extensive SH Figuarts Star Wars display at Tokyo Comic Con showed off some potentially new releases for the 6 inch range of action figures. Up first was a lovely Death Star escape scene, complete with Death Star corridor diorama. On display in here were new versions of both Han and Luke in their Stormtrooper armour. They look great alongside the already released Princess Leia and Chewbacca figures. The Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker looks to be getting a few tweaks into a Jabba's Palace Luke. The figure now has a heavy soft goods cloak and the hands seem to have been sculpted as a single piece to replicate the pose from the movie.. Another tweak is the Sandtrooper who will be an update from the basic Stormtrooper with appropriate Pauldron, armour tweaks and weathering Luke's mentor Yoda is also on display, both as the Dagobah version and an Episode 1 Jedi Council version with Chamber Seat. Sticking with the prequels, it seems 2019 may be the year of General Grievous. The Figuarts versions includes soft goods cloak and will likely be supremely articulated. The question is will it include the arm splitting function it's Hasbro counter-part will carry. To balance out the forces on both sides we have a Clone Commander Cody in the works too. Moving to Empire Strikes back and another Luke, this time in his Snowspeeder Pilot gear. Alongside him is a very dirty R2-D2, a repaint of the existing mold to be a Dagobah R2. Also from Empire is the Force Ghost Ben Kenobi. And from the movie's finale, is Han Solo frozen in Carbonite. A Han in Carbonite display would not be complete without a Boba Fett from Empire Strikes Back. Moving onto Return of the Jedi and we got another look at that stunning Emperor Palpatine in his throne. There are no details on how this will work exactly, but the lower half may be swap out with a standing version. We do know the Royal Guards, to accompany Palpatine, will be a FiguartsZERO piece (essentially a statue). And also from Jedi, it was good to see Wicket the Ewok again, complete with his Endor Log. And finally, let's have another look at that Jar Jar Bins 1/12 figure.... All of these new figures are carded up as "display only" as no release date has been agreed or confirmed. A lot of these would probably make it to market through 2019, but some may not and may not even see the light of day.

The SH Monsterarts have revealed their Godzilla King of Monsters line ready for the 2019 movie release. Of course we have Godzilla himself, and he looks fantastic. Godzilla is joined by three other Kaiju - King Ghidorah, Rodan and Mothra. The figures will get a 2019 release, but exactly when isn't confirmed.

Tamashii Nations have revealed their Star Wars Movie Realization Kylo Ren at Tokyo Comic Con. Like all the Realization figures, Kylo is reimagined as a Samurai inspired character from Feudal Japan, complete with ornate armour and helmet. His Broadsaber has become an impressive broadside with deep red blade and hilt sections. The product card with Kylo does not indicate any date for release and states "display only" indicating no specific release date is agreed.

The Star Wars Movie Realization line, where your favourite Star Wars characters are re-imagined as characters from Medieval Feudal Japan, has just announced the next figure to join its ranks. The Tamashii Nations display at Tokyo Comic Con has this wonderful, almost Steampunk, IG-88 on display. The figure keeps the sleek robotic build we know, but elements of Samurai armour panels, a bandoleer and a helmet align the figure perfectly with the other Realization figures. IG-88 will come with a rifle
