Tonight's roundup swings from Star Trek and DC to a stacked Godzilla wave, with McFarlane's Superman Blue VS Red 2-pack and Nacelle's Kirk as Romulan leading the way.
Kirk as Romulan (The Enterprise Incident)
Nacelle Toys is going deep into TOS lore with this 1/10 scale take on Kirk disguised as a Romulan from The Enterprise Incident. The sculpt leans into the disguise itself, with Romulan facial features and uniform detailing standing in for the usual gold command shirt. You get three pairs of hands plus a disruptor, communicator, hand phaser, and phaser rifle, so there's real range for staging an infiltration scene rather than just a standing portrait. Fun pickup for anyone whose Trek shelf already leans episodic instead of just crew lineups.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutagen Ooze Glow-in-the-Dark 4-Pack
Super7's ReAction+ line goes full 1987 cartoon nostalgia with this Mutagen Ooze glow set, packing all four turtles into one drop. Each figure holds to the line's 3 3/4 inch scale with nine points of articulation, and Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo, and Michelangelo all come with their signature shells and weapons. The glow-in-the-dark finish is the real hook, playing off the mutagen origin story instead of just being a stunt paint job. Easy set to slot in next to the rest of the ReAction+ turtles if you're already collecting the line.

Boss Fight Studio Fraggle Rock Wave 3
Boss Fight Studio is rounding out its Fraggle Rock line with a third wave built around Cavern of Lost Dreams Gobo, a classic Mokey, mini Doozers, and Lanford the plant. These are production samples rather than a bare announcement, so the sculpting and paint on display should track closely with what actually ships. Mokey and Gobo both carry the show's felt textures well, and the mini Doozers add some welcome scale variety next to the core Fraggle cast. Solid wave for anyone building out the full Rock instead of stopping at Gobo and Red.

Superman Blue VS Superman Red 2-Pack
McFarlane is pairing off the two halves of the mid-90s Electric Superman era in one Collector Edition 2-pack, Superman Blue against Superman Red at 7 inch scale. It's a simple but satisfying premise for anyone who lived through that story: two versions of the same hero, same era, opposite color schemes, finally sharing a package. McFarlane's Multiverse sculpting has generally handled the energy-being look well on past Blue and Red releases, and a Collector Edition tag usually means extra attention on packaging and paint over the standard single-carded versions. Worth grabbing if the 90s Superman saga is your era.
Transformers Power of the Primes Throne of the Primes Optimal Optimus
Hasbro is bringing back the SDCC 2018 exclusive Optimal Optimus as part of the Throne of the Primes reissue line, landing at $99.99 with a September ship date. This one combines the Weaponizer Prime Armor with the Evolution Optimus Primal mold, so you get the Beast Wars homage plus a serious armor upgrade in a single figure instead of hunting down separate releases. For anyone who missed the original convention-exclusive run, this is about as clean a second chance as Hasbro tends to give.

ThunderCats Ultimates Snarf
Super7 is bringing Snarf back into the ThunderCats Ultimates line as part of a reissue wave alongside Tygra, Wilykit, Wilykat, Slithe, and Bengali, priced at $64.99. Snarf has always been more comic relief than combat threat in the cartoon, and the sculpt plays that up instead of forcing a heroic pose out of him. Grabbing him alongside the rest of this reissue wave is the easiest way to fill out a full Thundera shelf without chasing separate release windows.

Hiya Toys Godzilla, King Ghidorah and Kong
Hiya Toys is stacking four MonsterVerse releases into one pre-order wave: the 2019 King of the Monsters Godzilla, an upgraded King Ghidorah 2.0 at roughly 35cm tall with a 56cm wingspan, the 2021 Godzilla vs Kong Godzilla with 26 points of articulation, and Kong wearing his B.E.A.S.T. Glove from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Ghidorah's 2.0 pass brings translucent components through the necks and wings plus upgraded neck articulation, and it ships with three Gravity Beam effect parts and stands to recreate his signature attacks. Kong's B.E.A.S.T. Glove figure adds three interchangeable hands and three facial expressions for posing options. Strong pickup for anyone assembling a MonsterVerse shelf without giving up half a room to do it.

Universal Monsters Ultimate The Invisible Man (Translucent)
NECA's Ultimate line reaches Dr. Jack Griffin next, done up in translucent plastic that leans hard into the 1933 film's whole gimmick. The 7 inch figure ships with two interchangeable heads and two pairs of hands, plus the collar piece that sold the nothing there illusion on screen, and even the packaging goes translucent with a fogged effect to match. It's a clever way to handle a character whose entire appeal is built around not really being visible at all. A must for Universal Monsters collectors who already have the rest of the Ultimate wave lined up.
