As seen recently on display at Fan Expo in Canada, a new Star Wars Black Series multi-pack is coming from The Mandalorian and Grogu. In addition to the images from Fan Expo, images are now also circulating online of the packaging. The set will feature a Mercenary Guard Droid who comes with a soft goods cape and a pike weapon. Alongside the Droid is a new version of Din Djarin, The Mandalorian, with a removable helmet and a new unmasked head sculpt, as seen during his imprisonment on Nal Hutta by the twins. Mando comes with the weaponry he appropriated from the Weapons Dealer's ship, including his new Amban Phase Rifle, twin swords, knife, and scope. The set is completed by a Droid Gotra Mercenary STAP, which can be ridden by either the Droid or by Mando. This reuse of the Episode 1 Trade Federation STAP includes updated Mercenary markings. It comes with a display stand. The Droid Mercenary also comes with a blaster and pike weapon. We understand this to be an Amazon Exclusive under the codename 'Giant'. The link that was included in the QR code on the display to Amazon Canada is still not working.

McFarlane marked their attendance at BlizzCon 2026 with four new posed figures from the Blizzard stable. They include the Blood Elf and Goblin from World of Warcraft, and the Barbarian and Rogue from Diablo IV. These are 6-inch in scale, in line with the previous WoW and DIablo releases, and pretty much the same principle as McFarlane's Movie Maniacs posed figure line, complete with large window boxes and fixed stands. This foursome is only available at the McFarlane Store, including international shipping, and they are available now. We've added them to our extensive McFarlane Collector Database For thousands of years, the high elves of Quel'Thalas drew strength from the Sunwell, a magical font of arcane energies. An invasion by the undead Scourge decimated the kingdom's population and deprived them of the Sunwell's might. Taking the name blood elves, or Sin'dorei in their own tongue, the people of Quel'Thalas sated their magical thirst for a time with demonic fel energies. Once the Sunwell was restored, the blood elves worked to rebuild their homeland and help lead the Horde into a bold future. The goblins craftiness and greed make them masters of mercantilism. Reforging old pacts with their one-time allies, the goblins of the Bilgewater Cartel have been welcomed into the Horde. Honing their inherent cunning to a razor's edge, the goblins hope to use their explosive inventions to rule the world, or at the very least own a profitable percentage of it. The Barbarian has unparalleled strength and expertly wields an entire arsenal in battle, with a weapon for every occasion. He bellows intimidating war cries and unleashes ground-shaking slams to send approaching hordes reeling. A bit of stealth is worth its weight in gold. But let's be clear: the Rogue is not some simple cutpurse. Any fool can lift some coins from a merchant's pocket with a day of practice. Few can infiltrate enemy strongholds and hostile mercenary camps, much less survive being spotted while doing so. But the Rogue isn't spotted unless they want to be. The Rogue is deadly at all distances, just as capable of slaughtering waves of demons at range as they are of carving up foes up close. Even the biggest foe has a weak point, at the Rogue will plant their blade there before their mark even knows they are nearby. Sharpen your knives and step lightly. Your new target is just ahead.

"Armed with dual blaster pistols and an impressive array of Republic gadgets, the Advanced Recon Commando rushes fearlessly into battle." Amazon has been the home for most of the Star Wars Black Series Gaming Greats multi-packs since the first was released in 2024 for Jedi: Fallen Order. Since then, the Amazon sets have very much focused on the EA games within the Gaming Greats source material, with releases for both Jedi games and for Star Wars Battlefront. The latest theme applied to the Battlefront releases has been various Clone Troopers alongside a ‘Training’ Battle Droid. This allows Hasbro to re-use sculpts on both Clones and Droids, updating the Decor to match what you see in the game. The two 2026 Amazon Star Wars Battlefront two-packs both followed this format, first with a Phase 1 Clone Trooper versus a ‘training’ B1 Battle Droid. The second release, as we will look at here, is the Phase 2 ARC Trooper Infiltrator who faces off against a ‘training’ Commando Droid. The set began shipping in mid to late Spring 2026, later here in the UK. The box follows the usual principles in terms of size and shape, with a black base colour and a large window at the front to show off the figures for boxed displays. This window also features the foil Gaming Greats logo. The Gaming Greats blue accent colour is used on the front text and on the side art, which is split in the centre with the ARC Trooper pictured at the top and the Commando Droid at the bottom. These same images are then split and shown again on the back of the box, either side of some background text that talks about the weaponry and gadgets of the ARC Troopers and how, on Kamino, they “sparred against training BX droids in battle simulations”. Inside the box, the figures are set into the plastic tray, and this is then framed with a backing card that uses the same basic blue inset with the iconic Death Star Wall Panels that act as a character selection screen in the game. The ARC Trooper is based on the graphics for the game for the Infiltrator Troop type and uses the existing ARC Trooper body. This follows the usual engineering of white cast armour connected by black joints that double as the suit underneath. Over the base body & armour sit the double shoulder Pauldrons of the ARC Trooper, cast in grey and painted with a lighter grey on the lower chest segment, and red on the three sections of the right shoulder. A belt and connected ARC Trooper kama skirt is the second addition to the standard body, again using a softer plastic. This is cast in white, with the incorporated holsters and straps painted a very deep blue, and the skirt also featuring red panel details around the entire circumference. Additional decor includes more red, rough-edged markings down the arm, the grey shin armour, and grey gauntlets. The left gauntlet also features control buttons in red, green, and white. Around the back of the Trooper is a separate, but glued in place, backpack in black, with gunmetal sections. The helmet is a Phase 2 lid, with the usual black painted visor, and black and silver breathing tubes and vents. There are blue vents to either side of the ‘cheeks’, while the right-hand side also features a hinged rangefinder in black with a silver shaft. This is articulated so that it can swing down over the visor of the helmet. The red markings continue here across the face and colour the top fin. This colouring is not specific to a particular battalion or legion, but is accurate to the game designs. Articulation is a newer format, but not the newest for Clone Troopers. There are 19 points in total, all of which are pinless. The legs include stable ankle rockers, knee joints, thigh swivels, and an upper hip. The knees feature knee armour that is fixed to the upper thigh, unlike the newer floating panels. This means the knees look particularly strange if bent. That being said, the skirt piece, although a flexible plastic, does restrict most leg positions. The torso ball joint gives a good amount of upper body movement, leaning in and out of poses as well as rotating. The twin joint on the neck provides good head movement too, although the helmet does clash with the pauldrons as it turns, forcing it to point more upward. The arms contain sufficient range in butterfly shoulders and elbows for weapons posing, with mismatched pivots in the wrist, with one pivoting horizontally to the position of the hand, and the other vertically. The weapons included are the ARC Trooper’s DC-17 blaster pistols, using the existing mold and cast in black with very limited detailing. These sit in the skirt holsters when not in use, or are intended to be held in both hands. The issue here is that Hasbro has not given the set the new dual trigger-finger hands, so while the right hand is not an issue, the left won't hold the weapon snugly, and it sits pointing slightly upward with no ability to get a finger positioned on the trigger. The ARC Trooper is facing off against a Commando Droid, but one in the training livery as seen on Kamino. This means the existing Commando Droid body armour is now cast in white and not grey, with the joints coloured in a gunmetal grey finish. Some of these cast white parts are different shades depending on the base plastic, so the torso and groin pieces are lighter than the arms and legs. Grey is also used on the sectional midsection, and on panels up the forearms and upper arms. The ‘training’ element means the droid is also marked with gold targets, visible on the chest next to a red indicator light and on the forehead of the droid's head. The head includes a grey painted vocalizer, while the split circular eyes are white but too close to the base colour of the head to be noticeable, unless under bright lighting, and the head therefore looks part painted. The Commando Droid brings with it the base articulation of the original figure. There are 18 points of articulation, and thanks to the slim nature of the droid and lack of any overlapping armour or parts, each joint is fully accessible in terms of how it is designed. Each reaches its full extent, and they work in conjunction with each other to get the most out of posing the droid. The legs feature a strong ankle rocker as a base and then move and rotate around the knees and the hips for a selection of stances, including the option for kneeling and sitting positions. The Droid comes with two weapons, the first a large vibro blade cast in a purple finish and devoid of any other paintwork or decor. This can be back-mounted via a peg on the sword and a socket on the rear of the droid, giving a holstered look. For battle, it can fit in either of the Droid’s clawed hands, with two-handed posing also possible thanks to the shoulder joints. The second weapon is the standard Battle Droid E-5 Blaster Rifle, a piece that has been in use for some time across multiple Separatist sets. It is a detailed piece and cast with a gunmetal finish that does bring out plenty of that detail. It too can fit in either clawed hand and be held in a two-handed supported firing pose. There is no holstering option with the blaster. Visually, the ARC Trooper Infiltrator is probably the star of the set, particularly in terms of its finish with the ARC Trooper armour and detailing to match those we’ve already had across the 501st in particular, albeit this Trooper has red markings and isn’t directly aligned to a battalion. There are issues, however, and Hasbro has not used their most up-to-date Clone mods, meaning the knee armour is fixed and not floating, and the hands are not both trigger grips. The droid is excellent in terms of sculpt and articulation, but the decor is not everyone's cup of tea, with the training skins something of a novelty rather than anything else. The weapons are OK, the blaster being much stronger than the Vibro-sword, which looks like it comes from a much cheaper kids' figure line both in colouring and detail. For £45, the set represents reasonable value with two figures included, but both are simple repaints. I have questioned the ‘training’ decor on previous sets, and cannot understand the logic of using this paint job over a standard droid for army build purposes, something that feels more reflective of Battlefront as a game. The set will likely appeal to Battlefront collectors and completists like myself, but without any direct tie-in to The Clone Wars or Revenge of the Sith, the set is likely going to struggle with broader appeal and inclusion into more TV/Film focused collections.

"We can't get to you! I suggest you get to a ship as soon as you can!" Summer 2026 saw us welcoming two more Clone Commanders to the Star Wars Black Series collection. Clone Commander Thorn and Clone Commander Doom were both Fan Channel Exclusive releases based on their Clone Wars appearances. Not a wave as such, the figures were announced together but released separately (at least here in the UK), with Clone Commander Doom arriving first in early August, followed by Clone Commander Thorn in very early September. Clone Commander Thorn is number 24 in The Clone Wars Galaxy Collection and arrives in the matt black packaging, with the Clone Wars yellow accent colour across the character name, the source material, and on the side artwork. This imagery shows Thorn holding his mini-gun and looking towards the camera with a backdrop featuring the landing pad and buildings from Scipio. This artwork connects in the wider montage to Commander Doom and will connect onward to Gar Saxon when he arrives in Autumn 2026. The same illustration of Thorn is used again on the back of the box alongside the usual supporting text that talks about his key storyline as he escorts Senator Amidala to Scipio, and how he faced off against a Separatist droid assault. Thorn and his accessories are set in the usual inner tray, with a colour-coordinated cardboard backdrop using the same yellow as the box highlights, but also incorporating the same Scipio landing pad and entryway as the main artwork. Thorn is built onto the newest Clone Trooper body where the armoured panels are cast in white and are then connected at the joints, which are black plastic and ribbed to represent the Clone’s undersuit. Painting across the black and white sections is then virtually zero, and each armoured panel is therefore crisp and defined with no overpainting or paint bleed from one area to another. The red paintwork of the Coruscant Guards is applied over the white of the armour. This includes fully red shoulder pauldrons, the left of which features a grey flexi aerial. The upper chest is painted red around a silver rank badge with red, blue and black painted squares. Elbow armour is red, just under two rings painted around the biceps and done so as though hand-painted by Thorn himself, with rough edges and wear and tear. The legs include fully red knee armour, shins, and feet - the latter then returning to the white at the soles, and you can see here how the white is the colour added over the red, as it holds a pink hue. Thorn is wearing a kama shirt which is connected by a belt cast in red and left red around the entire circumference and across the pouches, with the exception of the rear circular canister, which is painted white. The belt also features slung holsters in grey which hang down from the belt and lie flat against the kama shirt. The skirt has a glossy, almost plastic finish, but is in fact soft goods with a red trim incorporated around each of the exposed edges. The way Thorn is packed can lead to some kinking and creasing of the skirt; you can see it on the figure we had delivered, where one side has been pinched together. The helmet for Thorn is a relatively standard Commander helmet with incorporated visor and comms equipment. This is new to the line, shared with Commander Doom, and an upgrade on the similar Commander Cody lid. It is white in base colouring, with a red faceplate and black visor. The patterning around the face, visor, and over the top of the helmet is impressive and likely printed. These pattern lines sit under the visor around the mouthpiece, across the top of the visor, and back over each side of the main dome of the helmet. There is no unmasked version of Thorn; the helmet is just that, and there is no head underneath, painted or otherwise. Thorn’s articulation is, like all modern Clones, built around the armour components, and there are 19 points in total, all of which are pinless. The range of the figure is impressive, with the legs able to kneel or sit, the Kama skirt in soft goods moving with the legs as they are posed. The knee armour is left floating on the knee joint, and when the knees are bent, the armour can be posed in the right place. The arms with butterfly shoulders can extend out and up; the shoulder pauldrons are hinged to move with them. The elbows bend to 90 degrees, and the wrists are hinged to move vertically, not horizontally, so they can aim the blasters much more naturally. The torso includes a ball joint for leaning in or backward movement, while the neck is dual-jointed and the head is able to rotate and pivot on any axis. Thorn comes with two DC-17 blaster pistols, the standard weaponry for most Clone Commanders, and like all the predecessor releases, they are cast in black with no paint decor. The weapons can be holstered when not in use, or held in either hand, with both hands including a flexible trigger finger. For most collectors, the DC-17s will likely live in Thorn’s holster, and he will be displayed with the other included weapon: the Z-6 rotary blaster cannon (nicknamed "The Hammer"), which is the rapid-fire blaster cannon he wields fighting off the Separatists on Scipio until he is overwhelmed. This is brand new to the line, but is already getting a re-use with the upcoming Hardcase figure in the 2-pack with Dogma. It is a silver/grey finish in the main, with the central vented section in black. Behind this is a brown/gold power core and ahead of it a similarly coloured central barrel set within the rails of the outer casing. The weapon is held by a rear grip, with a hinged handle also fitted just ahead of the rear power cell, which is gripped by the other hand to swing the weapon up and into firing position. Thorn’s articulation allows the weapon to be posed out as though firing, slung low as though in a ready position, or raised upwards. There is even sufficient arm articulation for slinging it back over his shoulder as he moves position or surveys the damage he has just wrought. As a Fan Channel pairing, Doom and Thorn are essentially the same figure but delivered in wildly variant looks that are accurate to their Clone Wars episodes and with a level of decor complexity we don’t usually see in standard releases. While Doom has better weathering, Thorn boasts crisper and more intricate detailing, particularly on the helmet. Thorn also boasts the enormous Z-6 rotary blaster, which adds some much-needed weapon variation to a Clone Wars-era display that has been dominated by the three types of DC blaster weapons for some time. Like Doom, there is no real flaws to Thorn as a figure. Proportionally, he is great, designed to be a live-action version of Thorn rather than taken from the animation style for The Clone Wars. Decor, as mentioned, is impressive, and the articulation and accessories give him plenty of display variation. The figure is available at the time of our review, but certainly feels like a figure that will sell through quickly, and that will go on to be highly sought after on the secondary market. One to consider grabbing while you can.

The figure also comes with a display stand for the flight poses. It is a general release and is expected to ship in Q4 (October to December) of 2027. It will be available in all territories apart from Japan. The vicious high-speed predator takes flight! Megaguirus from Godzilla vs. Megaguirus now joins the Hiya Toys EXQUISITE BASIC Series! The 24th film in the Godzilla series, Godzilla vs. Megaguirus follows humanity’s latest attempt to eliminate Godzilla once and for all. Under the “G Extermination Strategy,” the G Countermeasures Headquarters develops the Dimension Tide, a new weapon capable of generating an artificial black hole. However, a test firing distorts space-time and awakens the ancient giant insect Meganulon in the modern world. Rapidly multiplying and developing into swarms of Meganula, they absorb Godzilla’s energy and ultimately give rise to the vicious monster Megaguirus, armed with incredible speed and destructive power. A three-way battle between Godzilla, Megaguirus, and humanity soon erupts across Odaiba, Tokyo. The new EXQUISITE BASIC Series Megaguirus action figure is based on its appearance in Godzilla vs. Megaguirus. Measuring approximately 24.5CM from the spikes on its head to the tip of its tail, features sharply sculpted armor-like surfaces, layered spikes, and intricate insectoid textures across the body. Its aggressive head sculpt, prominent compound eyes, and vivid red abdominal details are faithfully recreated, while the broad wings feature finely layered textures with dark tones and brown-gold gradients that capture the monster’s distinctive on-screen appearance. Features multiple joints across the body, allowing for dynamic airborne poses such as fully spread wings and high-speed diving attacks. Articulated wings and limbs further expand the posing possibilities, while the included display stand supports dramatic flight poses and aerial battle scenes against Godzilla.

"I'd like you to meet Commander Colt of the Rancor Battalion." Rancor Battalion, and in particular its ARC Troopers Colt, Havoc, and Blitz, were first introduced during Season 3 of The Clone Wars, were part of two of the Season 3 episodes, and would go on to make a return in Season 4. While we’ve had plenty of ARC Troopers in the Star Wars Black Series, we’ve not had a multi-pack or any of the Rancor Battalion troopers until it was announced in June 2026 that Hasbro were releasing a Fan Channel Battle Pack containing Colt, Havoc and Blitz in the Black Series. While initially expected in August, it was early September when the set started shipping via Fan Channel retailers in the UK. The Rancor Battalion Battle Pack is the first-ever 3-pack from The Clone Wars, and it comes in a triple-figure extra-wide black matt box with yellow highlight colour, as attributed to the Clone Wars Galaxy Series Collection. This yellow colouring is used on the front text, including a new ‘call out’ that sits on top of, and springs out of, the yellow trim to title this as an ARC Trooper Battle Pack. There is no direct reference on the front of the box to Rancor Battalion. The side art panel uses the same yellow tone and is split into three individual images of each of our ARC Troopers included in the set. The issue here is one of colour, and when you illustrate the Rancor ARC Troopers using just grey tone and yellow highlights, it is not overly easy to work out which of the characters is which. The back of the box sorts this out, displaying each illustrated image in a horizontal strip rather than vertically, and labelling each of them under the photo. Beneath this is a large section of text which does reference Rancor Battalion as “joining their clone brothers in defending their home planet of Kamino, from a Separatist attack“. This then repeats in multiple languages. The three figures sit in a large inner tray that slides out from either side panel. This tray sits in the cardboard backing sleeve, and this also uses the yellow hue theme with a more detailed embedded image than we are used to seeing, showing the Battle of Kamino, complete with Battle Droids advancing on a line of Clone Troopers against the backdrop of the domes and spires of Kamino. While the set includes three named Clone ARC Troopers, these are all essentially the same figure built onto the ARC Trooper figure base first released in 2021 with Echo. This body has been well used since, including on other ARC Trooper releases like Fives and Jesse, but also on more specialist troops like the Umbara Trooper and the Battlefront II Gaming Greats Infiltrator. This ARC Trooper body is designed and engineered in the same vein as the standard Clone Troopers, with armoured parts cast in white, and these are then connected by black cast joints in a ribbed finish to reflect the Clone’s undersuit. The ARC format includes enhanced wrist armour vs the general ‘shiny’ and a similar enhancement with the shin armour. On top of the base armour, the ARC Trooper also gets an added soft plastic Kama skirt with belt and holsters incorporated, and the twin chest and shoulder armour with ammo pouches. Each ARC Trooper uses a Phase II helmet with an integrated range finder. While there is a sculpted head underneath, this is not painted, and the helmets are all glued in place. The individuality of each of the three Troopers is in the colouring on top of this base body. We start with Colt, who features red and grey livery, starting with the Phase II helmet with range finder that is decorated with grey to the sides and back of the main face plate and around the breathing components. The range finder has a silver shaft, but then features a red top section. Red also features on the right side of the shoulder pauldrons, the remainder of which remain in their base grey but with a darker blue trim on the ammo pouch slung just under the right hand pauldron. The updated ARC Trooper wrist armour is painted grey, with a red panel, and this red extends down onto the armoured plate on the back of the hands. The control panel on the left bracer includes painted green and white buttons, the white ones sadly being quite poorly executed in terms of accuracy and coverage. The kama skirt is the most intricate of Colt’s design, with a red and grey chevron effect throughout. This skirt is trimmed with a white belt, and blue straps, pouches and holsters. His armour concludes with lighter grey shin and knee armour with cream inserts. And around the back we have the ARC Trooper integrated backpack - fixed in place and cast in a dark blue with grey panels and greebles. From Colt we move to the blue armoured Havoc, who is very similar in colouring to the other 501st ARC Troopers. Havoc’s helmet includes a light grey faceplate, with blue markings at the side and around the base of the upper fin. His range finder is also grey/silver in terms of the main shaft, but painted blue at the top. The Pauldron piece here is painted blue on each of the side panels, with the base grey underneath, creating a border. There are also four blue squares painted on the front of the grey chest piece, just to the side of the dark blue ammo pouch. From here, the blue markings are less prominent than the red on Colt. There is a touch of blue on the gauntlets, with three trimmed lines in different locations on each side and a blue painted panel above the controls on the left. These controls are similarly painted to Colt with green and red, then two final buttons left plain white. Havoc’s skirt is grey with a blue band in the bottom third at each side with rounded corners. Straps and pouches are dark blue, as are the holsters, with the belt piece in white. Havoc has the same grey shin armour with cream inserts, but with the knee pads above fully painted blue. The same dark blue and grey backpack sits at the back of the figure. And so we come to Blitz and the deep yellow tones. Blitz’s helmet is almost the same as Havoc’s with a grey faceplate, but over this is a stripe of deep yellow that runs from the breathing vents, over the visor and up over the dome of the helmet. Blitz’s range finder is also colour coded in yellow. Only the right Pauldron is coloured across the three panels in yellow, with two yellow stripes angling down the chest plate then out to the sides. Blitz’s right gauntlet is grey, with yellow on the hand armour plate. The left gauntlet is white, then trimmed in yellow, and then paint detail added to the controls and launcher. This time, those four buttons are crisp and tidy, running from green to red, then two white. Blitz has a white Kama skirt and white belt, with the cross straps, pouches, and holsters in dark blue. Over the white of the skirt is a black diamond pattern which is arguably the most striking and distinctive of the three. The shins are again grey, but this time without the cream inserts. Over the top of these and down the centre, and extending up over the white knee panels, is a line of deep yellow, and as this gets towards the feet it branches off into a chevron design. The set comes with six blasters, all identical and allowing each of our Rancor Battalion ARC Troopers to be armed with a pair of DC-17 blaster pistols. These pistols are from the existing line and have been used multiple times across both ARC Trooper releases and several Clone Commanders. Their size does not permit any real detail other than the top line shape and having been cast in black plastic, they are left unpainted. These can be fitted into any of our Troopers’ holsters, sitting relatively snugly and securely. They then fit perfectly well into the right hands of our ARCs, where a trigger finger slips into place and the weapon sits in a firitng position. Despite having a corresponding left hand in the line - as seen most recently on Commander Doom - Hasbro has not included this with the Rancor Battalion and retained the existing ARC Trooper left hand that does not feature a trigger finger. That means your twin blaster pistol-wielding Troopers can only hold one blaster accurately, and the other, while sitting in the hand, is angled up and away because the trigger pushes against the four sculpted fingers rather than being able to lock into place using a separate trigger finger. Articulation is 19 points in total, all of which are pinless, 20 in total if you count the rangefinder, which can pivot down over the visor. The legs include stable ankle rockers, knee joints, thigh swivels, and an upper hip. The knees feature knee armour that is fixed to the upper thigh. This means the knees look particularly strange if bent and is another minor disappointment, considering the newer Black Series Clones have solved this issue with a floating version that could most likely have been swapped in here. That being said, the skirt piece, although a flexible plastic, does restrict most leg positions. The torso ball joint gives a good amount of upper body movement, leaning in and out of poses as well as rotating. The twin joint on the neck provides good head movement too, although the helmet does clash with the pauldrons as it turns, forcing it to point more upward. The arms contain sufficient range in butterfly shoulders and elbows for weapons posing, with mismatched pivots in the wrist, with one pivoting horizontally to the position of the hand, and the other vertically. At a retail price of £86.99 on Hasbro Pulse, this set works out at a quite considerable £28.99 per figure (it is cheaper if you do shop around). And despite the £30 price, all of the base figures are identical apart from the paint, and built on a buck that is now some 5 years old and carries with it at least two substantial flaws in terms of the left-hand trigger and the knee armour that have been fixed elsewhere, but not included in this set despite the high ticket price. I do accept the paintwork is detailed, more so than a lot of Clone characters, but still on par with some other 501st ARC Troopers that still sat at the base RRP for a single release, albeit often exclusive to a retailer. If you are a Clone Wars fan and/or love Clone variations, this is a set made for you. It is bright and visual, and the decor on all three Troops is crisp and accurate to the episodes - albeit realised in a live-action style to align with the rest of the Black Series releases. The accessories are as we see them on screen during the Battle of Kamino, and there is suitable pinless articulation with which to wield them. The final question of the release is if we will ever be able to complete Rancor Battalion’s ARC Trooper complement, as we are still missing Hammer. He is of course, very similar in style to Colt, so I can see why decisions were made to go with what we got in terms of Red, Blue, and Yellow; but I do wonder if there is a single release to come that finishes off the foursome as we see them on Kamino.

The Hasbro G.I. Joe Classified Series Dreadnok Thunder Machine has finally opened its pre-order window. This is a made-to-order vehicle rather than a HasLab and will go into production based on the numbers ordered between the 9th of September and the 23rd of October. Unlike other 'made-to-order' figures in the Marvel Legends line, this one will be charged soon after the 23rd of October, and you will only have until the 9th of November to obtain a refund. The item is expected to ship in late July 2027. The UK price is £139.99 ($124.99 in the US). The Thunder Machine is a modular vehicle, arriving with a base chassis that can then be built onto with the included parts and panels, allowing a degree of flexibility and customisable options for your Dreadnoks. Along with the weaponry and armoured panels, the set also features effect pieces. These allow the weaponry to simulate the rockets firing, with a larger piece that can be used on the rear single jet engine. We've added the Thunder Machine to our extensive Hasbro Collector Database We Dreadnoks offer our highly specialised services to the highest bidder, frequently aiding the designs of Cobra Commander in his attempt to defeat the forces of G.I. Joe. What better way to accomplish this than with a fleet of modular Dreadnok Thunder Machines? TRY TO STOP IT IF YOU CAN The fully functional wheels get a little extra 'oomph' from the 'Knock-Dead' 21K Thrust Turbojet engine detail attached to the rear. WEAPONS TO BEAR The iconic rotating Gatling cannons are supplemented by dual launchers with eight missile accessories. They peg into swivelling stands or can be hand-held. IT'S A BLAST The large blast effect brings the jet engine roaring to life. Medium effects plug into the missiles in the launcher tube or behind. Smaller ones attach to the front cannons. GO CLASSIC OR CUSTOMISE Modular pieces we’ve ‘acquired’ let you recreate the look of the original or trick out unique configurations with removable front roll cage, ‘cowcatcher’, armoured rear tyre shields, gull-wing doors, front wheel well plating, and police light bar and beacon light detail affixed to a detachable roof. PLUSH INTERIOR In spite of outward appearances, Dreadnoks value our comfort, and the interior of our Thunder Machine reflects that with bucket seats, rotating steering wheel, movable gear shifter, dashboard gauges, console detail and controls, as well as two cup holders perfect for all your grape soda needs. VIOLENT AND MEAN… IT'S THE DREADNOK THUNDER MACHINE With so many options and details to create your very own Dreadnok Thunder Machine, it’s truly quite a steal. I’ve adorned my own personal ‘Princess’ with a hood ornament honouring our mascot (and former Dreadnok applicant) Ned. He’s just happy to come along for the ride… Mwah, hah, hah, hah.
