Medicom will be releasing a MAFEX Evil Gwen-Pool figure in 2019, number 83 in the MAFEX line. The figure re-uses parts from their Gwenpool figure - but there are new sculpted parts, and it looks like there will be some bonus items for Gwenpool if you purchase her evil version. While the contents are not confirmed, the promotional images show different head options, including an unmasked version which will also work on your original Gwenpool. Another bonus for your original Gwenpool is a watch accessory. There are floating comic books with a stand of some description, and a mini Gwenpool accessory. She is armed with twin katana blades. Her cape is soft goods and appears to have an wire skeleton to support dynamic posing. The figure will be released around June 2019 and will be circa £65 in the UK / $75 in the US.

MAFEX have released the details of their 1/12 scale comic book Deadpool figure arriving in 2019. Deadpool is number 082 in the MAFEX line and will be released around May 2019. The figure comes with a boat-load of swap out options from emotive eye options, hands and even three belt buckle options. Less impressive vs other Deadpool figures is the weaponry options which are limited to his Katana's only. You will be looking at circa £75 once this is imported into UK / $85 approx in the US.

The new Bill Potts 5.5" Doctor Who figure listing on Amazon has been updated with these lovely promotional shots. Bill will come in the window box packaging that we've seen for the past couple of years in Toys R US (RIP) and they are consistent also with the B&M figures. The figure has a different paint application to her top and is a match to the figure that Pearl Mackie revealed over Christmas 2017. At time of posting the item is priced at £15.99 but there is a reduction presently to £12.96. Click on any of the images or HERE to go and order the figure. You can checkout the press release as follows. Following the recent news of a new Thirteenth Doctor collectable and the unveiling of the brand-new Sonic Screwdriver, Character Options has released details of another new item in its Doctor Who Collection – the Bill Potts Collector Figure Fans will be able to recreate scenes from the hit TV show Doctor Who with this fully articulated 5-inch scale Bill Potts action figure. A favourite for viewers as a trusted companion to the Twelfth Doctor, this new figure has 13 points of articulation and depicts Bill just as shown in the series with leather trousers, hi-tops and multicoloured vest. About the character: Bill Potts wants her life to be about more than serving chips. The cleverest person in the university canteen but never a student, Bill lives with her foster-mum Moira, and thinks exciting things happen to other people. But when Bill makes a connection with student Heather, she soon finds herself dragged into a creepy and dangerous world that revolves around a mysterious and inexplicable puddle. There’s something wrong with her reflection… but what? In searching of the answer, she discovers that the lecturer who’s taken her under his wing is actually a time travelling alien who’s about to take her on the trip of a lifetime to get to the truth! This impossible man, calling himself only ‘The Doctor’, promises to be Bill’s personal tutor. And now anywhere in time and space is the backdrop to the most unique education that the universe can offer. The new Figure will is available now from Amazon.com

After Hasbro bought the Power Rangers in May 2018 we've been awaiting the details on what they intend to do with the line after the end of the current Bandai licence. At Power Morphicon this weekend we got our answer with a first look at a brand new era of Power Rangers figures. The Power Rangers Lightning Collection will borrow from Hasbro's highly successful Black Series (Star Wars) and Legends (Marvel) in that it will be a 6" super articulated line. The figures will come in boxed packaging and the figures will be released more akin to Star Wars Black Series - with different era's mixed into waves. The US RRP will be $19.99. Hasbro are also going to employ the face print technology to the series. The first wave of this brand new Lightning collection will arrive Spring 2019, but fans at Power Morphicon were treated to a tease of one of the first figures - the White Ranger. You can see from this early prototype some elements of their Marvel Legends articulation - but also new joints such as that hand pivot and foot joint.

When the Doctor Who 5.5 inch Bill Potts figure was revealed over Christmas 2017 by actor Pearl Mackie the insinuation at the time was this was part of a new range of figures going into Toys R Us stores. Roll forward a few months and of course we see the end of Toys R Us both here in the UK and around the majority of the world. The Bill Potts figure is then confirmed as being included in an 11th Doctor 3-Pack at B&M Stores. But is that the whole story? It seems this listing on Amazon UK indicates otherwise and a single carded/boxed Bill Potts figure is on the way? There is no release date, just a £15.99 RRP and some brief descriptions quoting the size as 5.5 inch. We would guess that this is the original "teased" figure - so the same sculpt but with a varying design on her top. While we don't recommend anyone to order blind, the adventurous of you may want to stick in a pre-order and see what happens?
