Today's roundup brings a Transformers and Monster Jam mashup plus a steep discount on Mattel's Battle Cat, with Jazwares rounding things out with a full Kanto starter evolution set.
Pokemon Special Series Kanto Region First Partners Figure Set
Jazwares just put out a nine-figure Kanto starter set that runs Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle all the way through their final evolutions in one box. Getting the full evolutionary lineup together instead of just the three cute baby forms is what makes a set like this worth grabbing over piecing it together loose. At $99.99 for nine sculpts that's a fair per-figure price for a franchise this iconic. We build evolution displays like this in-studio on commission fairly often, so it's nice seeing an official release lean into the same idea. It's listed in stock now if you'd rather buy the complete lineup than hunt down each stage separately.
Transformers Collaborative x Monster Jam Grave Digger
Hasbro is crossing Transformers with Monster Jam for a Grave Digger figure that converts out of the actual monster truck rather than some generic reskinned bot. It's priced at $57.99 and set to ship starting September 17, with Amazon holding it as the exclusive retailer for now. Crossover toy lines like this live or die on whether the source vehicle reads clearly in both modes, and Grave Digger is about as recognizable as monster trucks get. If truck-to-robot conversions are your thing, this is worth locking in now instead of waiting, since exclusives tend to sell through fast.
Masters of the Universe Chronicles Battle Cat
Battle Cat just dropped to $17.99 at Amazon, down from a $44.99 list price, which is one of the better markdowns we've seen on a Chronicles-line figure in a while. He-Man's ride matters as much as He-Man himself for anyone building out a Grayskull display, and Mattel's Chronicles sculpt has been a dependable pickup for MOTU collectors since it launched. At this price it's basically impulse-buy territory if you're still missing the cat from your shelf. Discounts like this on MOTU figures tend to disappear fast, so don't sit on it too long.
