Hasbro have unveiled, via their Pulse news site, the full line up of their X-Men Marvel Legends wave. We already knew about 7 of the figures after seeing them unveiled at Toy Fair 2016. We now know the 8th slot will be taken up by a comic Wolverine, and that the Build-a-Figure will be the Juggernaut - and Hasbro have promised a full reveal of this figure very soon. The X-Men Wave is now confirmed as Deadpool, Cable, Jean Grey, Iceman, Havok, Kitty Pride, Rogue and Wolverine Marvel Legends fans got their first sneak peek at the upcoming X-Men Marvel Legends 6-Inch assortment last October at New York Comic Con 2015 with the reveal of Rogue. Then in February at New York Toy Fair 2016, six new mutant figures were unveiled: Deadpool, Cable, Jean Grey, Iceman, Havok and Kitty Pryde (complete with Lockheed!). The Hasbro Pulse has the exclusive reveal of the eighth and final figure in this year’s X-Men Marvel Legends 6-Inch assortment: Wolverine! As one of the most popular and iconic X-Men, Wolverine gets a new body sculpt and dons the look of his trademark brown and tan costume. After premiering back in Uncanny X-Men #139 (1980), the brown and tan suit outfitted Wolverine until 1991 and was his longest continuous costume. Speaking of powerful and iconic brown-costumed characters from the pages of the X-Men, fans will without a doubt recognize the Build A Figure in this assortment. Check back in the next few days for the complete reveal of this unstoppable villain! Source : Hasbro Pulse

Italian website, Gazette Store, appears to be the Italian equivalent of DeAgostini or Eaglemoss here in the UK - offering subscription magazines with packed in collectible product. Their newly discovered (by non Italian fans at least) Star Wars 3D collection has attracted a lot of attention considering it appears to be 3.75" and 6" Black Series figures from Hasbro packed up with a subscription magazine. "For the first time ever , Star Wars comes The Black Series , the most complete collection of 3D models of Star Wars characters ever created . Darth Vader , Luke Skywalker , Chewbacca , Kylo Ren : all the protagonists of the saga , from the first episode to the last memorable , highly anticipated chapter in faithful reproductions of 12 cm perfect in every detail , to collect and cherish forever ." They seem to be at issue 12 at this time, and it is the new figures they have now listed for the future that has caught the eye of collectors. Figures are priced at €12.99 for 3.75 and €19.99 for 6 inch. In the coming soon section you can see descriptions for 1. An Episode 7 Luke Skywalker at €12.99 (3.75) 2. A General Grievous at €19.99 (6 inch?) With no images or any detailed description this all feels a bit woolly at the moment, and may just be listing issues. We will now await SDCC to see what Hasbro has in store for us.

Diamond have confirmed that they will be offering an exclusive Ghostbusters 7" figure at this years SDCC. Peter Venkman will be the same figure from the main range, but with additional "Marshmallow" decor. The figure is resticted to 3000 units only. Previous SDCC Select exclusives, such as the Gotham Penguin from 2015, have been in slimmed down packaging and without the diorama parts. The press-release for this one however indicates that a display base is included. It will be interesting to see if this is simply the part from the 15 piece rooftop build, or a special stand-alone base. "Who ya gonna call? The 1984 horror-comedy classic Ghostbusters is as beloved now as it ever was, and this exclusive action figure captures one of its most beloved characters! The fun-loving spokesman of the Ghostbusters, Peter Venkman gets covered with marshmallow in this exclusive 7-inch scale action figure featuring newly sculpted parts, as well as the standard 16 points of articulation, plus alternate hands, proton pack, neutrino wand and display base. Sculpted by Gentle Giant! (FEB168432) Limited to 3,000 pieces."

We've already seen the promotional images for the upcoming SH Figuarts 1/12 scale Leonardo and Donatello, and you can pre-order these for a Summer 2016 release. Now promotional images have been released for the other half of the team, Raphael and Michaelangelo. Both Mikey and Raph will come with swap-out head options plus weaponry. And it was recently confirmed that Tamashii are using metal lower legs on these turtles - most likely to create a weighted base to allow for some of the more dynamic "ninja" poses. All the Turtles are priced at 7,000 Yen / $60, and that is directly converting to a £60 price tag here in the UK.

NECA have announced TWO Comic-Con exclusive sets based on the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Arcade Game Each box is a 4 figure set - with box one containing the Turtles, and box two containing Shredder and the Foot Clan. The figures are 7" scale, in line with the majority of NECA's core range, with the Turtles looking like they are using the existing NECA TMNT sculpts, albeit with updated Video Game decor. Both boxes will include a tone of accessories, and the packaging will have a classic Arcade cabinet design. Update : it has now been confirmed that these sets will sell at $100 at SDCC. It is also confirmed that the licensing arrangement for these figures prevents them going to retail. The agreement is also for US only, so no option of having these sets for sale outside the US - similar to how the Warner Bros licence worked on the 7" Superman, Batman and Joker figures. The tweet that confirmed this also indicated this US only licence applies to their upcoming quarter-scale Turtles. SDCC TURTLE POWER!
