A number of images have been shared for the upcoming Deadpool wave of Marvel Legends with the Sauron build-a-figure. The big reveal is that of X-23 in her X-Men outfit, the figure that rounds out this Deadpool wave. They also reveal an interesting pack in with the Deadpool in his X-Men dress-up, a head and hat for Mad Cap. For those who aren't aware of Mad Cap he was a supervillain created by Marvel in 1985 who went on to go up against the likes of Captain America and of course with Deadpool, sharing many of the latter's abilities. It is unknown if there will be a body provided in future waves to go with this head, or if the intention is to display it as an alternative look with the X-Men dress-up Deadpool. The Deadpool wave is expected to land in August 2018. #Marvel #Legends #Deadpool #MadCap #X23 #LadyDeadpool #ActionFigures #Toys #Hasbro #News #OmegaRed #Sauron #BAF #Bishop

NECA have teased a brand new Nightmare on Elm Street release, which is shaping up to be similar to the accessory packs they have done for Aliens, Predator and Friday the 13th. The two reveals so far are taken from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, Dream Warriors. TV Freddy Krueger is from the scene where Jennifer - the sole survivor from the first movie - is killed by her TV which turns into Freddy. The second teaser image is the head of the Freddy Snake from the same movie. NECA have confirmed we will get a full reveal soon and that the set includes "one large item, one medium and two smaller items" There are no details as to how this will be brought to market, but we would assume it could be part of a larger set. Expect to find out more at San Diego. #NECA #FreddyKrueger #NightmareonElmStreet #ActionFigure #Toy #DreamWarriors

Singapore based Great Twins has sent us details of their first 1/12 figure in their brand new Twelfth Scale Supreme Action Figure line. These figures will be super articulated with tailored soft goods clothing and a variety of accessories - a similar offering to that from Mezco in the US. Great Twins are kicking off with a Terminator 2 licence, and are bringing this awesome 16cm Terminator figure to reality with a release in November 2018. The T800 will have 25 points of articulation and will be armed to the teeth with Mini-Gun, Shotgun, Grenade Launcher and Pistol. He comes with removable shades and an innovative magnetic jointed neck to aid articulation and posing. There will be a selection of alternative hands to hold the included weaponry. The figure also comes with a figure stand. At this point a price has not been confirmed. "Come with me if ... you want to collect awesomeness!" ~ Twelfth Scale Supreme Action Figure In the first 1984 film, the Terminator designated "T-800" time-travelled from the future back into the past to kill "Sarah Connor". In 1991's sequel, the roles were reversed with a new "T-800" this time sent back in time to protect Sarah Connor's son, "John Connor" (who is the leader of the human resistance in the future), from being killed by the more advanced "T-1000". Both "T-800" Terminators were played by actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a fictional character who have since entered the pop culture consciousness. One of his more iconic spoken lines in the film was "I'll be back", and 27 years later, indeed the T-800 has returned, but this time as a premium articulated collectible figure, ready for "action" in the palm of your hands! "Twelfth Scale Supreme Action Figure" presents the 1/12th scale collectible action figure of "T-800" from "Terminator 2: Judgement Day"! The hyper-realistic collectible figure features a head sculpt with a hand painted likeness of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger in his appearance as "T-800", mounted atop a magnetic neck which enables flexible rotation for the head, for optimum poseability. The Action body features over 25 Points of Articulation, and is clad in his iconic black PU leather jacket and pants ensemble, and not forgetting his (removable) sunglasses, to complete that cool-"Infiltrator-Unit-killer-robot"-look! An amazing array of accessories include a Mini Gun, Grenade Launcher, Shotgun and Pistol, complete with a removable Grenade Launcher ammo bandolier and Mini Gun black ammo bag provides maximum play, and that the T-800 is ready to do battle at Cyberdyne building to destroy Skynet! A figure stand with name tag completes the set - ensuring stability on your display shelf, and a pride amongst your collection. Filmmaker James Cameron is currently preparing to produce the reboot of the Terminator franchise, with the story continuing from T2, targeted for a 2019 release. Expect a renewed interest for the T-800, as actor Arnold Schwarzenegger is returning to reprise his role as the "Terminator" we all love!

Pros : Head sculpt is glorious. The Wolfpack markings are neatly applied. The new BARC helmet is a good fit. Cons : Articulation remains restricted by the armour as has been case since 2014. The left hand doesn't hold the gun properly. Clone Commander Wolffe, like Rex, was never seen in any of the live action movies and was a creation within the Clone Wars series - appearing in a number of stories through the Clone Wars years. He would also turn up again in Rebels with Rex (and Greggor) although not as trim as we see him in this Black Series release. So far in the Black Series we have had figures of Cody, Gree, Rex and now Wolffe. All using the same 2014 base Clone Trooper body with tweaks and additions relevant to each character. Wolffe is an exclusive release, and is therefore not numbered. The figure is assigned to Gamestop in the US, but is a shared exclusive outside of the US available via most independent stockists. Ours was supplied by Kapow Toys. While there is no number, the figure carries all the same other traits as the standard phase 3 line with red side spine and red lettering for the character name. The backing card s also a bold red, which really makes the figure pop. Wolffe is clipped into an inner tray with his helmet to one side of his head, and his two blasters to the other side. Wolffe is the second Tamura Morrison headsculpt, after Rex, to use the face print technology. And while this may be the same base actor the head is vastly different from Rex and includes Wolffe's scar and damaged eye as well as his scowl. His hair is jet black and in a flat top cut. The 104th Battalion, led by Wolffe in the Clone Wars, was nicknamed the Wolfpack and it is that iconography that we see as decals on the figures shoulder armour panels. The body for Wolffe is that of a standard Clone Trooper, a figure base we've had since 2014. There are a couple of changes to the standard body with the figure using a left shoulder panel with antenna. This is similar to the one used on Commander Cody, but it sits more flush to the armour and is painted the same grey. The other change is the addition of the Kama skirt and the holstered belt - both are taken from Captain Rex although the kama is trimmed now in a dark grey. While the armour is very crisp and clean, there have been some effort made to weather the figure with mud splashes added to the chest and arms - yet not on the legs or the feet. Articulation remains exactly as it was in 2014 when the Clonetrooper body was released. It has a ball jointed head and a ball joint in the chest to allow the torso to swivel and lean forward and backwards. The arms are ball jointed at the shoulder, but the movement is restricted as you can't raise the arms by much as the shoulder panels block the movement. There is a bicep swivel, double jointed elbows and a pivot wrist. Legs are similarly restricted by the armour at the hips which are ball jointed, but unable to be moved much. The knees are double jointed and the figure ends in ankle rockers and is absolutely no problem standing or posing. Wolffe uses the pair of blasters that were packed with the Rex figure. They are cast in a black plastic with some detail apparent, but no paint apps at all to bring it out. The right hand of Wolffe takes the blaster really well, with a flexi trigger finger. The left hand was never designed to hold the grip of a blaster and Hasbro have not replaced this (they didn't on Rex either) so while it does hold the weapon it looks a bit half hearted as though Wolffe is about to pass the blaster to someone else. When not in use the blasters fit neatly into the belt holsters. Once inserted they hold in place, and with no paint applied to either belt or blaster there is no risk of paint rub. Wolffe comes with his Phase 2 BARC helmet which is also decorated with the Wolfpack designs. It also has a central red panel above the visors and yellow markings to one side. The helmet is also weathered with mud splash effects painted predominantly on the left side as you look at the figure. Wolffe comes with a rangefinder on the side of the helmet, and this is articulated so it can be swung down over the visor. Rex suffered from a visual skin line when his helmet was on, but this seems to have been addressed with Wolffe. Weather this is because the neck line has been painted higher, or the helmet is naturally bigger it is good to see. I do also like that we now have the parts for both BARC and ARC troopers in the line and wonder how long it will be till we get some more Clone variants. These Clonetrooper variants are becoming an annual exclusive now and with the basic figure already sculpted it is both an easy option for Hasbro, while playing to fans of the Clone Wars and Prequel films. Wolffe wasn't a character that was high on a lot of lists for figures but once announced it has been highly sought after with early pre-orders in the UK at least selling out. The figure doesn't do a lot wrong. It does suffer from the articulation issues of the Clonetrooper body, as has been the case since it was released in 2014. The head sculpt is glorious and not just a repaint of Rex - it has its own personality and look. The BARC helmet is another nice nod to keep Wolffe screen accurate and this fits neatly on the head. The weathering perhaps doesn't go far enough to be realistic, but that is nitpicking really and I score Clone Commander Wolffe a strong 4 out of 5. Now all he needs is some Wolfpack troopers for him to lead into battle. #StarWars #BlackSeries #CloneWars #Wolffe #CloneCommander #Hasbro #ActionFigure #Review

The Star Wars 6" scale Centrepiece range will also get a San Diego 2018 exclusive in the guise of this gorgeous Starkiller Base diorama complete with statues of Rey and a fully articulated Black Series Kylo Ren. The set replicates their final battle from the Force Awakens in the snowy forests of Starkiller base. The set is presented in a Black Series themed window box. The set is enhanced with a clip in and light up acrylic backdrop and a built in water mister for steam effect. The set is expected to get a basic release of just the Rey and diorama, most likely without the additional features which are listed as exclusive to this release? The Kylo Ren figure appears to have the new face print technology, and we can possibly speculate he too may get a release as a single release in the future also. The set is being sold at SDCC 2018 for $109.99 and we would hope that Hasbro have some international options lined up.

Hasbro have announced, via EW.com, that their 6" Star Wars Black Series exclusive at San Diego Comic Con will be this Han Solo box set. The set, called the Exogorth Escape, will include the first release of the Bespin Han Solo. The figure comes with Han's blaster as well as the breathing gear and hydrospanner. I suspect the breathing gear and spanner are exclusive to this set. The new printing technology looks to have done an awesome job capturing Ford's likeness. The other inclusion is a Mynock. The set comes in a Millenium Falcon design box which then slides opens up to reveal the figures on the landing ramp of the Falcon. The set will be sold at SDCC 2018 for $34.99, we would hope that Hasbro will arrange for International Options via Independent retailers.

Pros : New Trooper Head Sculpt. Cloak works well. Weathering is well applied and looks realistic. Gun is the updated E11 from 2016 Cons : Articulation has issues in places thanks to the armour - this is a historic issue with the Stormtrooper body The Mimban Stormtrooper, as his name suggests, is part of the Imperial force on Mimban at the time Han Solo was serving in the Imperial Infantry. The Stormtrooper appears to be some for of commander or elite trooper while Solo's unit, the Mud Troopers, are more conscripted infantry fighting on the front lines. The figure is an exclusive release, being sold in Walmart in the US and as a shared exclusive in UK through the usual independent stores. While it is essentially a Phase 3 red line release, the first thing that strikes you is the use of a brown colouration on the box. While muted, it does give the figure a neat point of difference. The rear of the box confirms the Stormtroopers role on Mimban alongside the usual warnings. The oversticker we see on our review copy, purchased at Kapow Toys, confirms this as supplied from the Far East. The brown colouring of the box continues in the inner tray. This doesn't enhance the figure so much as the red on say the Range Trooper, but it does work considering the background and environment these Stormtroopers find themselves in. The figure is slotted into the inner tray with the cloak gathered up to one side. The standard E11 blaster sits to the side of the figures head. The first thing to mention is that this is not just a standard Stormtrooper with dirty paint wash and a cloak. The figure has a brand new Trooper head sculpt as the Mimban troopers come with a larger processing dome for enhanced sensors (source : Solo Visual Guide). This new head still carries the standard Stormtrooper proportions. The visor is more muted than we'd normally see and the edge of that dome section is a grey. The same grey is used on the cheek vents, these would normally be blue. The whole dome is weathered with a mud effect brushed quite effectively onto the white of the helmet. The rest of the Mimban Stormtrooper is a direct re-use of the existing Stormtrooper body. This is now nearly 5 years old, but still holds up against the newer releases. The armour shape and panels are all crisp and then we have a further application of mud paint effect, which gets progressively worse as we move down to the legs. The Mimban Trooper finishes with grey painted feet rather than white. Not sure if this is the actually boot colour or if this is meant to be the final colouring of mud - in which case I would expect it to be brown not grey. The cloak is a new addition and this is attached via stitching into the chest piece, not round the neck as you might expect. The cloak is the newer floaty material as seen on recent releases like the 2017 Vader. It is cut in two pieces, one of which initially looks like a hood - but it isn't. While I had expected the cloak to look odd being bright black against the dirty trooper it is a pleasant surprise to find the cloak too has been weathered and dirtied. The Stormtrooper is packed with one weapon, the standard issue E11 blaster. This is not a re-use of the standard Stormtrooper figure E11, but is instead the one packed in 2016 with the Scarif Trooper and Hovertank Pilot. The gun isn't a single tone cast piece, but is accentuated with silver highlights across the weapon. It slots neatly into the right hand, with a flexible trigger finger on the figure which will slot into place once the gun is in hand. Articulation remains as it was in 2014 when this base body debuted, but that isn't too bad when you consider this body comes with double jointed elbows allowing for some two handed weapon poses even with the stubby E11. The figure comes, in total, with 16 points of articulation starting with the ball jointed head and followed underneath with a further ball joint in the chest. The arms are ball jointed shoulders although these can't raise too much because of the larger shoulder armour pieces. The figure pre-dates the ability to have the shoulder slide into the chest when the arm is raised. As mentioned we then have double jointed elbows, and sitting above these is a bicep swivel to aid rotation. The arms end in pivot and swivel wrists. The legs also find themselves restricted as the ball jointed hips are also held back but the armour around them. The knees are double jointed and we finish with ankle rockers. While the Stormtrooper can kneel, the leg articulation in the main is restricted to some wider action poses. In the grand schemes of things, the Mimban Stormtrooper got nothing more than a passing shot in Solo, but with anything Star Wars if we embellish it via reading the visual guide and see it in toy form then us collectors are going to want it. While it is a US Walmart exclusive, it hasn't been too hard to get in the UK and the price has not been anything silly. It is also a bonus to find the figure is a little bit more than a dirty stormtrooper with a cape. The Mimban Stormtrooper is a figure that has exceeded my expectations and I score it a 4 out of 5.
