  • Custom: Star Wars Black Series The Mandalorian with updated head from Fantastic Four Marvel Legends release

    Star Wars Black Series collectors, and particularly those who collect figures from The Mandalorian, will know that to date the unmasked variants of Pedro Pascal's titular character have been less than impressive. Over at Marvel Legends, they do not appear to have had the same issue in recreating Pascal's Mister Fantastic in the newly released Fantastic Four: First Steps wave. We had to see if that Marvel Legends head would fit onto, and look right, on our Mandalorian figures.... and I am pleased to report that it certainly looks the part and improves either the original or the newer Mandalorian body as an unmasked option. Fit-wise, the Marvel Legends head has a larger socket, so the fit onto the Mandalorian neck peg is loose on both figures, most noticeably on the newer body. This would need to be addressed through packing the hole or by changing the neck pegs.

  • McFarlane DC Multiverse Batman (Troika), Azrael Batman, and Batwing

    McFarlane's new DC Multiverse releases of Azrael Batman from Knightquest, Batman from Troika, and an updated version 2 Batwing from New 52 are now open for pre-ordering at McFarlane stockists. The figures each come with the usual display stand and collector card as well as appropriate accessories, including alternative hands & a Battarang for Batman. Azrael will include a set of segmented wings, while Batwing comes with a blast effect. The three figures are listed as August 2025 releases. Our extensive McFarlane Collector Database has been updated with these new figures Luke Fox never intended to follow his father, Lucius Fox, into a career with Wayne Industries. Despite a gift for technological innovation equal to his father’s, Luke preferred to go his own way. This attitude frustrated Lucius, who felt his son was squandering his potential and opportunities. While constantly arguing with his father, Luke pursued fighting arts, participating in numerous mixed martial arts events. His intelligence, resolve, and combat skills soon attracted Batman’s attention, and the Dark Knight offered Luke the role of one his agents after original Batwing David Zavimbe retired. Pre-Flashpoint, Jean-Paul Valley’s discovery of his dying father dressed as Azrael changed his life forever. Brainwashed by the System to become the Church of St. Dumas’ assassin, Jean-Paul worked with Batman instead, standing in for the Dark Knight when Bane broke the hero’s back. Unbalanced by his upbringing, Valley became a more violent Batman and wore heavier armor. He later surrendered the mantle to a newly healed Bruce Wayne and set out on his own adventures as Azrael. Bruce Wayne returns to his role as Gotham City's protector, Batman! The Knightfall Saga reaches its conclusion as Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City! A new era begins, as Batman reinvents himself to take on a new breed of foe. When the Bat-Family declares war against former KGB operatives with plans to take control of Gotham City's underworld, who will come out the victor? In the midst of all of this, Bruce Wayne must also cope with his decision to pass on the mantle of Batman to Jean-Paul Valley To manage our storage costs, news article images are archived after 12-months.

  • Review: Marvel Legends Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards, from The Fantastic Four: First Steps

    “It’s my fault. I stretched the bounds of space…” Our reviews of The Fantastic Four: First Steps Marvel Legends wave is written ahead of the movie release. It contains no spoilers other than the imagery used on the packaging and figures, all of which has been seen in the trailers.  The first MCU Fantastic Four figures landed on the 1st of July 2025 to collectors worldwide, a six figure wave that incorporated the full Fantastic Four team as well as a ‘flame on’ version of Johnny Storm and the new Silver Surfer. The packaging mirrored the dimensions and layout of the current Legends packaging but completely redesigned everything else. The look of the Fantastic Four figure boxes moves away from the usual sleek black to an off white base colour, with deep blue logos and nameplates, and even a blue colour to the ‘Legends’ wording of the Marvel Legends logo. This is very much intended to give the figures, the same feel as the movie, as though coming from an alternative timeline with a 50s and 60s vibe. This even extends to the use of the old Hasbro logo bottom right.  The artwork on the box side is retained but shaped in an offcentre blue frame. These are realistic illustrations against deep orange-coloured backdrops. The full image is placed on the box reverse, where we find the character posed against a bold orange circle. Unusually, there is no background text or synopsis for the movie itself. The figure is set against a blue card back which incorporates the four circular designs that are applied to our four main characters - designs that are also used on the box itself around the character nameplates, apart from on the Silver Surfer. Mister Fantastic, like his family members, is wearing his version of the Fantastic Four uniform. Like Sue Storm, the Reed Richards suit is blue with a ridged texture that is more prolific around the chest and shoulder area. The gloves and boots are white with black trim, as is the belt. The Fantastic Four logo is applied to a central circular chest panel either as a print or decal, and Reed also features the same wrist device as the other Fantastic Four team members, a silver piece on his right wrist.  The head sculpt is a very strong likeness to actor Pedro Pascal, and very much wipes the floor with those we have seen from Hasbro over in the Black Series Star Wars line in recent years. The face is intensely detailed and sculpted into that ‘look’ that Pascal gives in many of his performances, intensity but bordering on a smile. The facial features are printed onto the head with a particularly realistic set of eyes and some equally impressive facial hair. The main hair piece is cast individually and joined onto the head. It features a base brown colour, but with those greying sideburns that Richards is famous for.  Mister Fantastic, in the base figure configuration, sports 19 points of pinless articulation. These, like the others, are missing a butterfly shoulder and a more extensive torso joint, but we get enough to put Mister Fantastic into some positions, either getting ready for battle or more standard poses as he works out a problem or talks to the press. You can alternate the hands between a pair of clenched fists and a pair of open hands, providing different gestures depending on the pose. The elastic powers of Mister Fantastic are often recreated using elongated limbs, and Hasbro has gone down that same route with this newest iteration of the figure allowing the full arm pieces on both sides to be popped off at the shoulder and replaced with two stretched versions. These longer arms do not include any joints as such save the shoulder joint, essentially reducing the overall figure articulation. However, they do include an internal wire armature and are flexible enough to bend and shape to a certain degree. The armature and thickness of plastic won’t permit anything overly articulate, but you can shape bends and s-shapes into the arms to replicate the stretching powers. The hands on each of the elongated arms are fixed, with a gripping hand on the left and an outstretched hand on the right. While I understand that we wanted these to look stretched like the arm, it does restrict some of the posing. For example, Reed can’t stretch to punch someone without a clenched fist at the end. I wonder if there was a solution where the arm was the main piece, but the wrist joint was left at the end, allowing any of the included hands to be connected into the stretched arms.  Despite the length of the stretched arms, I have not found balance an issue when posing Mister Fantastic. His leg and ankle joints are robust enough to stand the figure in a stable position even with the outstretched arms engaged. Mister Fantastic is the final piece in the team jigsaw for this MCU debut of the Fantastic Four and Hasbro has done a good job of replicating the onscreen suits and the actor likenesses to give us a team lineup for display that works really well all together. Mister Fantastic as a figure ticks plenty of boxes in terms of sculpt, decor, and articulation, and the outstretched ‘stretchy’ arms are a neat bonus that work relatively well, although won’t be to everyone’s taste for display purposes. After the release of this first wave, the next questions will certainly be around other variations of the characters with the space suits being a potential option. There is also a question over how H.E.R.B.I.E. might be brought into the Legends collection now an opportunity of a Build-a-Figure within this wave has not been taken.

  • Hiya Toys Exquisite Basic 'Heat Ray' Evolved Godzilla from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

    Hiya has revealed another Exquisite Basic release of Godzilla from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. The 'Heat Ray' Evolved version of Godzilla will feature a translucent body, which enables a glow effect on the dorsal fins. He also comes with an extra head, extra hands, and the 'heat ray' effect, also in a translucent finish. The new 'Heat Ray' Evolved Godzilla is expected to ship in the first quarter (January - March) of 2026. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was released in 2024. This time, it thrusts Kong and Godzilla into a colossal confrontation with an unknown menace lurking within our world. Exploring deeper into origins of Titans. Driven by a relentless pursuit of quality, refining every detail to elevate both playability and display experience. This brand new Heat Ray Godzilla Evolved Ver. action figure builds with multiple enhancements, including refined proportions and an optimized silhouette, ensuring better compatibility when displayed alongside figures from the same series. One of the most notable improvements is the adjustment of body proportions, resulting in a more balanced and imposing silhouette. The neck joint has been upgraded to a double-joint structure, offering a wider range of motion and more expressive head poses. The dorsal fins have been thickened and redesigned with sharper, more intricate textures, creating greater realism. In addition, the tail has been upgrated with a multi-joint structure, allowing for smoother, more natural motion—capturing the dynamic flow of Godzilla’s iconic movements. When illuminated from behind, layered paint applications over a translucent body can replicate the glowing pink energy state in Godzilla’s dorsal fins. Additionally, the figure comes with 1x interchangeable head, 2x hand parts and 1x special pink Heat Ray effect to perfectly recreate Godzilla’s iconic battle scene from the film.

I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
