McFarlane have confirmed that Negan from The Walking Dead, as played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, will be the 23rd figure in their 7" Color Top range of figures/statues. Negan will come with his infamous bat Lucille which is stained in the blood of it's recent victims. He will retail in the US at $19.99 and will therefore be somewhere around the £17-£20 in the UK. Negan will be released in June 2017. At this stage it is unclear if he will fall into the Green (4th) Series, or launch a new color of his own. Leader of the group known as The Saviors, Negan is one of the most merciless enemies to ever cross paths with Rick Grimes and the other survivors. With no remorse, Negan executes those who get in his way with his weapon of choice, Lucille. With the barrel end wrapped in barbed wire, Lucille is the iconic baseball bat that Negan wields to not only intimidate others, but eliminate them as well. Negan is sculpted in his iconic outfit from Season 7 of AMC’s The Walking Dead. Figure stands 7 inches tall and comes complete with multiple articulation points and stylized brand specific display base.

Review : Darth Maul (The Phantom Menace) Star Wars 6-Inch Hero Series Wave/Series : Aldi Exclusive (UK) Released : December 2016 Price : £6.99 *At time of review our own Black Series Maul was in storage. We will retrieve him for side by side images and update the review in due course Hasbro's 6 inch hero series is a scaled down version of their larger 12" figures. The aim of the figures appears to be to get a Star Wars presence into the discount stores of the US, UK and beyond. In 2015 the first 5 figures were sold in the UK exclusive to Aldi, you can read our overview HERE. In 2016, Aldi have repeated the offer - bringing in stocks of the first five releases, and then five new releases we have not seen before in the UK. Each figure is packed in an economically sized box. This follows the design of the standard Star Wars line from Hasbro. Maul (and Rey) vary from all the other releases to date on the box art as they are now packed in Rogue One themed packaging, a black background with blue flashes fading in at either side. The front is dominated by the window, through which the figure is visible on a Black Series style red insert card. A white Star Wars logo is planted underneath the window, while the character name sits very bottom left along with the recommended 4+ age. The Disney and Hasbro logo's sit side by side bottom right. While the right hand spine of the box carries the logo and then a bunch of legal small print, the left is a glorious artwork of the figure - reminiscent of how Diamond present their Select figures, albeit on a smaller scale. Anyone wanting to keep these in the box will be torn between displaying the front and the figure, or these wonderful art panels. Round the back is another Star Wars logo, and under this sits the name of the film from which the figure is based. There is then a brief couple of lines of red text about the character, this is repeated in several other languages. The rest of the rear is taken up with safety notifications in various languages. Once opened, via either the top or bottom flap, an inner tray slides out into which the figure is tied. This inner tray is three sided, not fully enclosed like the Black Series. It also carries some background detail rather than being a solid red, although it isn't clear what this is intended to be. Being a Rogue One product, the figure includes an extra blue leaflet that carries detail of the current Hasbro video app. There is also a QR code which I assume will add in extra content. Darth Maul arrives packed separately from his two light-saber hilts and their blades. He stands 5 3/4" tall, identical in height to the Black Series counterpart. The sculpt is awesome, and if you are still missing that elusive Black Series Wave 1 version - then this could well be the stand in you have been looking for, at a fraction of the price. The head-sculpt captures Ray Park under the prosthetics really well, further enhanced by a paint job that marks out all the facial tattoo's neatly AND captures the orange eyes starting out at you. The horns are maybe not as pointed as they should be, most likely a safety element, and if I am being overly critical they are a tad too bright in colour. The outfit is brilliant, there is not a lot of difference between this and the Black Series, with this budget figure capturing all the folds and creases of the Sith robes. The skirt area actually hangs a little better on this one being fixed and not being a mixture of soft goods and rubber. The finish is of course black across the figure, but there are at least two distinct tones with a higher gloss used on boots, belt and gloves. Again, this is how the Black Series version was finished. Articulation was never going to stack up. So if you do use this Maul in your collection you are just going to get a neutral stance. The head moves on a ball joint and has a wider range than a lot of the Hero 6" figures to date. For example, you can cock Maul's head to the side, as well as rotating it and looking up and down by a small amount. The arm articulation is a single rotating joint so the arms simply raise and rotate round the body. There is a 4th joint then in the waist that allows the figure to turn it's torso independently to its legs (ironic for Maul). Earlier Hero 6" figures had their light-sabers sculpted into the hand. Like Rey, Maul doesn't have that issue either. He comes with both halves of his saber which fit firmly into either hand. The blades are translucent red, and these slot into the saber hilts with a satisfying pop. The saber hilts are cast in a plain grey plastic with no paint apps at all, but the sculpt is certainly there with the rings around the emitters and the various controls down the side. The crowning glory is that the sabers actually connect to make the double bladed saber. This is really well engineered with the joint easily hidden by the hand. All in all, Maul is the pinnacle of this 6" Hero range to date. Side by side, the sculpt is as good as the original black series. And there is very little in the paint job either. Only the articulation is lacking, but for £6.99 what more can you ask. I score Darth Maul a 5 out of 5.

Being a Rogue One product, the figure includes an extra blue leaflet that carries detail of the current Hasbro video app. There is also a QR code which I assume will add in extra content. Rey arrives with her light-saber slotted to the side of her in the package, a big change from previous Jedi/Sith figures who have been sculpted with the light-saber hilt in their hand. She stands 5 3/4" high, and is a perfect scale in and among the Black Series - matching her Black Series equivalent in height and frame. Sculpt wise, she is one of the best and puts the Black Series to the test - and in fact probably shades it on a slightly better paint job. Unlike other figure in this series, the skin tone is not overly glossy and there is a precision over the painting of the eyes and lips. The hair, which was the source of lots of paint bleed in the Black Series, is sculpted and painted well - even capturing the way Rey wears her hair in that complex pony tail. The strong sculpt continues into her Jakku Desert outfit with deep profile folds in the robes down the arms and into the skirt. This is all painted one base cream colour, but thanks to the definition in the sculpt it looks like more. The belt and saddle bag are sculpted and then painted in a matt brown. The same brown is used on her ankle boots. Articulation is 4 points only. She has the ball jointed head we saw on Han Solo, and this moves her head easily to either side - with the hair that hangs loose either side of her face in a soft enough plastic to bend as the head turns. The arms are a simple rotating shoulder and the final joint is the waist which again just swivels. The light-saber is a good sculpt of the original Anakin/Luke saber that Rey inherits. It's the first saber in this line to be fully separate to the figure, and at first I wasn't sure if it was a recast of the Black Series saber. It isn't, but does hold plenty of detail - just no paint applications having been cast in a flat grey. The blade is a darker blue than I would have liked, but is translucent so does shine in direct light. It can be removed from the hilt by puling it out of the plug in the hilt. For a £7 figure, Rey is particularly impressive. Sculpt wise she holds her own with the Black Series version. I would love to see her professionally painted - the paint used is obviously reflective of the price, but with a few extra shades she would look stunning. Articulation is the weak point obviously, but if you need a decent looking Rey in a neutral pose then this won't look out of place alongside other 6" figures. I score Rey a strong 4 out of 5.

Review : Luke Skywalker (Return of the Jedi) Star Wars 6-Inch Hero Series Wave/Series : Aldi Exclusive (UK) Released : December 2016 Price : £6.99 Hasbro's 6 inch hero series is a scaled down version of their larger 12" figures.

Each figure is packed in an economically sized box. This follows the design of the standard Star Wars line from Hasbro. The box starts at the base with a red glow, and fades to a black background through the rest of the packaging. The front is dominated by the window, through which the figure is visible on a Black Series style red insert card. A white Star Wars logo is planted underneath the window, while the character name sits very bottom left along with the recommended 4+ age. The Disney and Hasbro logo's sit side by side bottom right.

There is then a brief couple of lines of red text about the character, this is repeated in several other languages. The rest of the rear is taken up with safety notifications in various languages. Once opened, via either the top or bottom flap, an inner tray slides out into which the figure is tied. This inner tray is four sided, not fully enclosed like the Black Series. It also carries some background detail rather than being a solid red, although it isn't clear what this is intended to be. Luke Skywalker arrives with his lightsaber hilt sculpted into his right gloved hand and the blade tucked to the side. He stands 5 3/4" tall and, unlike a lot of the other 6" Hero figures, this puts him bang in scale with both his Black Series counterpart and the rest of the 1/12 Black Series. Luke is arguably the best sculpt to date on these budget figures. It may be cast in a shiny flesh tone, but the sculptor has done a better job capturing Mark Hamill in this range than they did with the Black Series Jedi version. The hair is also nicely done and nicely coloured, although a wash wouldn't go amiss. The only other real complaint over the head is the thick blonde eyebrows. The eyes on the other hand, which have been done in black on many other figures, are very neat with a white eyeball and blue then black over the pupils. The outfit is black from collar to boots, and is in a glossy finish. The outfit has creases and rolls in the fabric, but with such a dark finish and with the light reflecting off the gloss these are lost. With just the one dominating colour there is not much risk of any paint errors. The central belt is a gunmetal silver and neatly painted. My only gripe was a splash of this same silver on Luke's gloved hand. Articulation is 4 points. Luke employs the neck joint where the whole head and neck is jointed into the torso and turns at one. There are then single joint rotating shoulders and a final waist swivel. There are no joints in the legs. Luke's lightsaber, molded straight into his hand, is really well done. It captures the key details of Luke's saber with the wider emitter and the ribbed handle. There are more paint apps on this saber than elsewhere on the figure with three distinct colours from a silver emiter, to bronze and down to black handle - ending in the silver again. The lightsaber blade is a translucent green that slots into the hilt and locks pretty tightly. The see through plastic is not as slim as the Black Series blades, but the colour looks accurate and not washed out like we have had on other sabers. I am going to be careful not to get too carried away with this Luke. While he stands up really well against his Black Series counterpart - that says more about that figure than this one. I suspect a talented painter could make this figure look fantastic, and even taking away the gloss to a more flat tone would have helped. That all being said, Luke is one of the better figures in this budget scale. Considering he is cheaper than a 3.75" figure and with the facial sculpt and light saber detail I am going to give him a 4 out of 5.

It also carries some background detail rather than being a solid red, although it isn't clear what this is intended to be. Kanan comes packed with his lightsaber hilt molded into his right hand. Beside him in the packaging is the blade, and under this I was surprised to also find his blaster. He stands, like all of these Hero 6" figures, at 5 3/4" high - this puts him undersized in the 1/12 world. Like every release the plastic used feels hard and brittle, and hollow - there is no weight in Kanan at all. He is designed straight off the Rebels cartoon series, there is no "realism" in this figure and that makes him quite unusual in any 6" range. There is something appealing about the animated design, and I sit here now thinking how good a Ghost crew would look all in this same style. Outside of the constraints of realism, the design works really well and this is a solid representation of Kanan from Series 1 of Rebels. The face is longer and slim, like the animation, with a smooth hairline back to his trademark pony tail. The costume is accurate with the ribbed undershirt with its rounded collar. The clone trooper armour over the right arm and shoulder and down tot he trousers with knee pads and boots. Being an animated character the sculptors have not had to rely on putting in details like a lot of clothing folds. Paint is pretty decent, although a long way from perfect. The skin tone is shiny, but not excessively so. The hair a flat brown, and on our review copy there was paint missing on the pony tail leaving the skin tone underneath. Each costume element is the right shade, but there are no extra effects - no washes or dry-brushing. They have retained the Rebel symbol on the shoulder pad, which is good. Around the belt there is some softer bleeding of the grey into the black of the belt. Articulation is four points as always. Kanan comes with a fixed neck that rotates fully into the torso, other figures we have looked at have had a ball joint. The arms are articulated at the shoulder but only to rotate around the torso. The waist is the final joint allowing the torso to turn. There is no movement in the legs at all. Accessory wise, the light-saber hilt is molded directly into Kanan's right hand. The detail on the saber hilt is OK, it's definitely Kanan's, and it's cast or painted in a solid silver. Saber blades on the 2015 figures of Vader and Kylo Ren were perhaps a little too solid in colour, and it is good to see on Kanan there has been a move to a more translucent plastic. Nothing as good as the Black Series, but certainly an improvement. The blade slots into the hilt and pops into the socket quite tightly, this leaves you able to display Kanan with either lit or unlit saber. As I mentioned, Kanan also comes with his blaster - and this is loose and can slot into his left hand. The detail isn't bad on the gun and it is cast black plastic. Lining Kanan up with his Black Series counterpart shows you clearly the size issue, but also how good a job Hasbro did with the Black Series in bringing Kanan into the real world. I think Kanan will appeal as a niche figure, and will be received by those who wanted an animation accurate Rebel figure. It would be nice to see the other Rebels in the same scale, but I am not sure Hasbro will ever go that deep on this range. For now Kanan stands alone as an animated sculpt and at £6.99 does what you need him to for your collection - or even just for the kids to play with. I score Kanan a 3 out of 5 based on the small price vs what you get.

Review : Han Solo (A New Hope) Star Wars 6-Inch Hero Series Wave/Series : Aldi Exclusive (UK) Released : December 2016 Price : £6.99 Hasbro's 6 inch hero series is a scaled down version of their larger 12" figures.

There is then a brief couple of lines of red text about the character, this is repeated in several other languages. The rest of the rear is taken up with safety notifications in various languages. Once opened, via either the top or bottom flap, an inner tray slides out into which the figure is tied. This inner tray is four sided, not fully enclosed like the Black Series. It also carries some background detail rather than being a solid red, although it isn't clear what this is intended to be. Han in strapped into this background with Blaster already molded into his right hand - a common practice that we saw on Finn and the First Order Troopers. Each of these Hero figures is 5 3/4" high, therefore the scale is thrown out on Han who should stand a little taller than Luke for example. The figure is cast in a hollow feeling lightweight plastic. It is also very shiny and I suspect quite brittle if the figure is ever thrown around or takes a shelf dive. Sculpturaly, this isn't bad considering this is essentially a 6" figure at a cheaper price than anything in the 3.75" range. The face isn't great in terms of looking anything like Han, but there is definition in this face with cheek jowls and chin detail. The flight vest is a bit plain, but the shirt has cloth folds and creases. The trousers also carry some folds in the cloth and are a different texture to the other clothing. The belt is a bit "meh" and the boots are also quite plain. Han's gun is molded into his hand but there is some good detail in the gun. All of this is painted OK. The head is the worst area, with the skin being too shiny. There is then some pretty bad eye painting - they only used black paint. There is then bleeding of the skin colour into the hair. After this each area is painted neatly in one shade (no paint apps here). Each paint also carries a gloss sheen and while this works on the boots, the vest is too shiny. Articulation standard on these budget figures is 4 points of articulation. There is nothing in the legs at all, so the first joint is a simple waist swivel that allows the torso to turn to either side. The arms are then a rotating joint at the shoulder, and that means the arms simply rotate. The head on Han is a ball joint but it doesn't feel all that strong so I haven't turned Han's head too much. The up and down movement on the head, that you expect out of a ball type joint, is pretty much non existent. Han is not the best example of this budget range. In fact he is arguably the worst put out so far. Will he satisfy a kid - then yes, but I suspect he won't last too long in terms of the joints - particularly the head - not feeling all that robust. Will he fit in for collectors? Probably not from a looks perspective, but then again this is one of those niche ranges that may well be highly sought after in 30 years time. There is also an element of nostalgia in that the figure looks and feels like a blown up version of the Star Wars figures we "older" generation played with in the 70's and 80's. Anyone thinking of using him in the Black Series can see the difference in height and quality in this comparison image - although I have used these figures as background fillers in my displays, and my Han is going into the Jabba's Palace display as a background smuggler. In 2015 I didn't score the Aldi figures, rather took a look at them as a whole. This year I am going to apply our 5 star rating system, which remember takes into account the price range and then judges the figure on what we should expect. Last years figures set a benchmark, and there are better ones in the 2016 releases, so Han sits round about a 2 out of 5.

Happy Sat-TOY-Day everyone! CLICK HERE for this week's issue. Yes, it is our festive special and as well as bringing you a look at all the Action Figure news that caught our eye over the last 2-weeks, we are also taking a look at 4 of the BIG items that are on my Christmas list this year - and speculate which (if any) will make it onto Santa's Sleigh. In news there is a wealth of new reveals from NECA, including exciting details for Prometheus fans. We look at the SH Figuarts reveals from the Tokyo Comic Con. And we also get a look at the first Marvel Legends from next year's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 and Spider-man Homecoming. In this weeks review we have a detailed look at the Walgreens (US) exclusive C-3PO We are now going to take a Festive break and will be back with Issue 44, our end of 2016 review, on the 31st December. www.facebook.com/mephitsu www.twitter.com/mephitsu www.issuu.com/mephitsu

It has been a LONG wait, but Prometheus fans will finally be able to get their hands on the three cancelled figures that NECA pulled the plug on back in 2013. NECA have confirmed that the three figures of the infected Fifield, Vickers and Elizabeth Shaw will be released in 2017 as "the lost wave". There eventual release looks to be linked to NECA's plans for the upcoming Prometheus sequel, Alien Covenant. The three figures are presented in their space suits, and will fit in perfectly with the David 8 figure. Good things come to those who wait... #facehuggerfriday #prometheus #lostwave #AlienCovenant The Lost Wave Q1 2017 In preparation for its upcoming sequel, Alien: #Covenant, we return to Ridley Scott's sci-fi thriller Prometheus! At long last, this series includes the never-released figures fans have been requesting: #Vickers, #Shaw and #Fifield. The 7” scale figures are entirely movie accurate and feature over 25 points of articulation. Vickers (Charlize Theron) comes with flamethrower and removable helmet. Shaw (Noomi Rapace) comes with axe, removable helmet and the android David’s severed head. Fifield (Sean Harris) comes with flashlight and removable helmet. Clamshell packaging. Starts shipping out to retailers April 2017!

Hot on the trail of the Spiderman Homecoming trailer came a look from Hasbro at their Marvel Legends Vulture 6" scale figure. The interesting concept with this release is that the base figure will be released as a figure in the wave, while the flight section and wings will be the Build a Figure - this means you will need to buy the full wave to achieve the full look as pictured. The figure has only one head sculpt with its flight mask on, so we aren't getting any likeness to Michael Keaton. We expect we will find out more at Toy Fair 2017 including what else is included in this Homecoming wave...

The Spiderman Homecoming Trailer has hit, and from everything I have read has been really positively received by fans. My mind has already turned to what figures I can expect from the movie - and of course we will have figures from both Hasbro and Diamond to choose from. The far east properties will likely kick in too at a later stage - SH Figuarts and Mafex in particular. In actual fact the trailer showed us very little. We got a good look at Spiderman, and you can pretty much guarantee a wall crawler to be released from all parties. I would expect Hasbro and Diamond to go with an unmasked head, with Diamond's potentially a Disney Store Exclusive. We already know that Hasbro will be releasing the Vulture. This is great news, and you can read all about it HERE. The new design looks pretty impressive and he would be a stunner of a figure. Diamond are tending to go with one figure for standalone film and they haven't made a villain since The Chitauri. As sad as that is, a 7" scale Vulture is unlikely. From what I can tell, the Iron-Man suit shown at the end of the movie is pretty much the Mk46 Civil War suit. That would allow both Hasbro and Diamond to repack that figure in with a Spiderman range. This is however unlikely with Hasbro avoiding repacks in the Legends range, and the Diamond version from Civil War still hanging around at retail - so we have to assume it wasn't a fast seller. Whatever happens the next few months are going to be good to Marvel fans. We've already seen the Legends for Guardians of the Galaxy and I suspect we will see the Spiderman figures at Toy Fair. Then of course we still have Thor Ragnarok - and Diamond have already alluded to a Planet Hulk figure.

Diamond Select have published these packaged photo's of their Odin Destroyer Select figure. They have also confirmed this is now shipping and will be in US stores soon, and we hope overseas before the year end. This means Odin has jumped over Doctor Strange in the release schedule and it seems we are now unlikely to see the good Doctor until at least January. Odin the Destroyer will retail at around £20 at all good independents.

Nerdist.com have exclusively revealed the full wave make up of the Hasbro Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy wave for 2017. Tied in with the movie release, the wave of 7 figures includes three directly from the movie... Starlord is presented with his shorter coat this time round. There is also an improved Chris Pratt headsculpt and an alternative masked head. He comes with his dual blasters. Drax is similar to the original release, but with a new "roaring" head. He also comes with a pretty impressive gun and his knives. Yondu is brand new to the range after being missed from the original lineup i 2014 despite his role in the movie. He comes with standard, and whistling head as well as his homing arrow with what appears to be a flexible tail that fits from a holster to simulating the arrow flying. The other four characters are comicbook, so head over to Nerdist to see the images for Angela, Vance Astro, Darkhawk and Nova. The build a figure is Titus, as seen at NYCC.
