Action Figures and Toys

Is Toys R Us staying open in the great white north? It’s a possibility as news broke this week that a huge purchase offer has rolled in from a Canadian company.

Mezco continues to post One:12 Collective figures this year. This time with yet another great-looking Marvel offering. A comics-based Blade is ready for pre-order right now.

It’s as very special Friday the 13th, because Jason is coming home. The One:12 Collective version of the famed movie series’ main monster is available to pre-order from Mezco Toyz.

Toy-maker Jakks Pacific is about to launch their Mega Man action figure lineup, and it all starts with the Blue Bomber himself. Mega Man is up for pre-order right now at Entertainment Earth.

Pacific Rim Uprising hits theaters this month, but that’s far from all you’ll be seeing from the property. Diamond Select has a monster amount of figures and more set to hit shelves. And the action figure onslaught is going to last all year.

We’ll have to put this one in the “weird but true” file. Retailer Entertainment Earth is actually taking pre-orders for a vintage Star Wars figure. It’s Jabba’s little pet/pal Salacious Crumb. Yes, that’s a little odd, but it’s plenty cool too.

Playmobil expands their Ghostbusters figure/set line with an animated The Real Ghostbusters wave. Each figure comes with a vehicle, a ghost, and heaping helping of nostalgia.

Steady yourself, that Janosz Poha figure you’ve always wanted is finally -at long last- available. So are GBII Egon and Winston, and all of the above come with parts to build the firehouse’s facade.

A five pack of Ghostbusting goodness? The One:12 Collective’s latest is a five pack, including all four ‘Busters and Slimer. And yes, it’s finally available for pre-order.

It’s been a while since Toy Fair, but we’re still running coverage! With cool stuff like DC Collectibles’ offerings still to show you, how could we not?

Mezco’s first take on DC Comics anti-hero (and future wife of the Dark Knight) Catwoman is ready for pre-order. One of the few female characters in the line, Selina is looking fantastic.

Marvel’s number one merc joins Mezco’s One:12 Collective with an excellent rendition. Deadpool is easily one of the best figures in the line, and that’s saying something.

Prefer the classic 1980s Voltron to the modern take? Then you’re going to love the wave of figures that Playmates has in the wings. It’s 100% nostalgia and might be one of the best classic Voltrons ever.
