McFarlane have announced that the next Walgreens (US) exclusive The Walking Dead release will be Negan. Negan is due to be available at some point in the Autumn. While exclusive to Walgreens in the US, there hasnt been too much of a barrier for UK independent stores to order and receive these - so keep an eye on pre-orders at your local store. After ruthlessly executing Abraham and Glenn at the hands of his beloved “Lucille,” Negan used them as an example to remind Rick and the other survivors that he owns them and that he now gets half of what they have. This chain of events forces Rick and the group to return to Alexandria to inform the others that Negan is now in charge. Featured in his outfit from Season 7 of AMC’s The Walking Dead™ Spectacular likeness of Negan taken from 3D scans of actor Jeffery Dean Morgan Figure includes Lucille barbed-wire bat, pistol, and knife Designed with 22+ points of articulation for dynamic posing Featured in traditional clam shell packaging This figure is a Walgreens’ exclusive.

Ever wanted to display those alternative heads that come with action figure releases like the NECA Ultimate range? The ever innovative NECA have these in the pipeline which will allow you to do just that. These stands are designed to hold an alternative head and display it alongside your figure. Not only are they designed to fit NECA peg holes, but they have swap out sizes that will allow these to fit most similar size figures. Having had issues with the clear plastic, these will only be available in a black plastic. They are aiming for an RRP in the US of $6.99 for three stands. Thats about a fiver, but I suspect the UK RRP will be closed to £10. These are still in the development stage, but watch this space for more details.

After what feels like a long wait, Diamond have finally revealed the details of their 7" Select Drax and Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 Both figure look stunning. Drax looks to be one of the best sculpts to date from Diamond, and is vibrant in his colouring. Baby Groot has been captured with the same character that we see on the film. Groot looks to be a non articulated piece in the same vein as the Ant-Man mini fig we got a couple of years back. The two releases for GOTG2 from Diamond are tentatively due for July. We have seen their Star-Lord at Toy Fair, but are yet to see the Rocket that is packed with Peter Quill. We also don't know if Star-Lord gets an unmasked head, or will that be a Disney Store Exclusive? We also have got no details of the diorama bases. Having seen the movie last week (UK) there are some awesome, and very visual, bases to choose from - so I look forward to seeing them revealed. A Diamond Select Toys Release! You're welcome! The Guardians of the Galaxy have been one of the most requested additions to the Marvel Select action figure line of the past few years, and now DST is happy to announce a new series of movie-based figures! Star-Lord and Drax the Destroyer are both based on their appearances from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and each measures approximately 7 inches tall and includes a diorama base. Plus, Star-Lord comes with Rocket, and Drax comes with a baby-sized figure of Groot! Sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios!

Diamond Select have confirmed the details of their two new 7" figures based on the upcoming Stephen King movie, The Dark Tower.

They are due for release in the final quarter of 2017 with a US RRP of $24.99, that is likely to translate to between £20 and £22 here in UK Independant stores. The first figure is The Gunslinger (Roland Deschain) as played by Idris Elba. He is arriving with two six shooter pistols. that slip into working holsters. His diorama base is an interior wall of some kind with cork notice board.

NECA have shared these images of the planned packaging for their 30th Anniversary Predator line of 7 figures. These are proofs, but are looking good and it is nice to see the Predator figures in a window box for a change after being so familiar in those clamshells.

The first trailer is up for the Netflix Marvel mini-series, The Defenders For figure fans we can look forward to getting 1/4 of the Defenders from Marvel Select with Daredevil due by year end. Marvel Legends looks to be more promising with Jessica Jones, Daredevil and Electra all scheduled. And of course a Punisher if you want to expand to the other series. Luke Cage and Iron Fist fans will have to be patient.

NECA's latest Action Figure licence, AMC's Preacher, are just a few weeks away from release. NECA have now released the packed samples of the first two figures - Cassidy and Jesse Cutler. The figures are packed in the newer style window box that most companies currently favour. The design with the flaming sky and gloss black spine is particularly striking. "Hitting stores really really soon, our hand to God @PreacherAMC figures in final packaging. Dont miss them or Season 2 this June" - via Randy Falk on Twitter

Tamashii Nations World Tour unveiled a number of new products and concepts. The most exciting one for DC fans is this 1/12 scale Tumbler as seen in The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. By my reckoning, this is the first SH Figuarts vehicle in the 1/12 scale for DC, and follows a similar size release for Star Wars with the Speeder Bike. Expect to be paying around £80 when this hits retail.

We speculated when the Diamond Select Daredevil went on pre-order that the unmasked head originally shown at Toy Fair may have been dropped from the pack. The latest Ask-DST appears to have confirmed that speculation to be true. And the Netflix figure will come with a masked head only. While some may point out unmasked versions have been sold as Disney Store exclusives - for me that seems unlikely with the rating of the Daredevil TV show aimed squarely at adults. On the plus side there is still some discussion it seems around which masked head(s) to include and that may mean an upgrade to the season 2 helmet? Ben D. I have a question about upcoming Marvel Select Netflix Daredevil. I have seen first photos of this figure and I am concerned about selection of the alternative head. Matt never puts on his red glasses with his suit on, so it doesn’t make much sense to include this particular head. Would you consider changing this head for no-glasses version or (which would be even better) season 2 mask head? Bloody smile head would be cool too DSTChuck: We often show figures at Toy Fair that are still going through some changes. I do not think the masked head we showed is set in stone as to which version it will come with, but the Matt Murdock head is looking to be unlikely.

It looks like Daredevil is the next Marvel character to join the 12" Legends range from Hasbro. We had known that Hulk and Thor were the next two releases, but images of Thor and this unannounced Daredevil have now show up on eBay. Daredevil comes with alternative wrists and hands, allowing for bandaged options as well as the normal costume. He comes with two head options, one masked and the other unmasked and bloodied. There is also a mask which can be carries, and may slip over the unmasked head. The billy clubs are also included. The packaging, with what looks like a high sheen slip over cover is somewhat improved on the previous 12" releases. This has led to some speculation this may be an SDCC exclusive.

Images have shown up online of what we think is an SDCC 2017 exclusive from Hasbro in their Marvel Legends line. The set appears to be using the release of Thor Ragnarok later this year as a platform to get some comic based Thor figures out in a pretty impressive set. The set contains Thor, Lady Thor, Malkeith, Bor and Ulik. These images seem to be pre-production samples as seen by the numbers stamped on each forehead.
