DC crowded out most of the competition today with two very different takes on Batman and Superman, while LEGO built its way onto the Enterprise bridge and Masters of the Universe kept its momentum going with a steep Battle Cat markdown.
INART Action Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Superman
INART built this Superman at 1/12 scale, a hair over six inches, and leaned hard into material variety: PVC, ABS, POK plastic, and a real fabric cape wired so it holds a pose instead of flopping flat. Two head sculpts swap in a calm Kal-El and an angry one lit up with a heat vision effect, and the accessory spread covers a kryptonite spear, loose kryptonite chunks, and even an empty Batman cowl for a storytelling display. Nine interchangeable hands round out the posing options, all sitting on the included display base. If you liked the sculpt work INART showed off on their Batman figure, this Superman is built to stand right next to him.
Storm Arena: The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match Iori
Storm Collectibles teased their next Storm Arena figure, and this time it's Iori Yagami pulled straight from King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match. There's no pricing or release window yet, just a first look at the sculpt, but Storm Arena has built a reputation for nailing fighting game silhouettes and dynamic stances. Iori's whole character lives on that unhinged, fire-wreathed energy, so it'll be worth seeing how much of that carries over into styrene and paint. We'll flag it again the moment Storm Collectibles locks in specifics.
The Real Ghostbusters: Louis Tully, Grundel & Alec
Mondo keeps expanding their animated Real Ghostbusters line, and this Timed Edition set pulls from one of the cartoon's creepier episodes. Louis Tully comes loaded with the full ghost-hunting kit, proton pack, Ghost Trap, PKE Tracker, and Ecto Goggles, plus swappable portraits for extra expression. Grundel and Alec round out the set, recreating the ghostly encounter that made the episode memorable in the first place. Pre-orders open Tuesday, September 1st at 12pm EDT and run through Friday, September 18th on MondoShop.com, so mark the window if you want in before it closes.
DC Super Powers Wave 4
McFarlane is closing out its DC Super Powers retro line with a fourth and final wave, six new figures at the familiar 4.5 inch scale that channels the old Kenner Super Powers toys. McFarlane is keeping the actual lineup under wraps until launch, which fits this line's habit of mixing expected names with deeper cuts from the DC roster. Pre-orders go up September 3rd at 12pm EDT exclusively through Entertainment Earth. If you have been building a Super Powers shelf, this is the wave that finishes it.

S.H.Figuarts Frieren: Beyond Journey's End: Stark
Tamashii Nations is bringing Stark into the S.H.Figuarts Frieren line, arriving with his signature axe and a grimoire sized to display alongside the existing Frieren figure. Bandai is timing the release with re-releases of Frieren and Fern, so anyone who missed the first run gets a second shot at completing the set together. Pre-orders open September 1st, but the figures themselves don't ship until March 2027, so this is very much a reserve-your-spot situation. Figuarts has been on a hot streak with anime adaptations lately, and Stark's proportions and gear look true to the source material.
LingJiHun Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Figures
LingJiHun's TMNT set, covering Michelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael, is back in stock, though at a slightly higher $139.99 than before. This is a third-party interpretation of the Turtles rather than an officially licensed Playmates or NECA release, which is part of why it lives outside the mainstream figure ecosystem, but it has found a following among collectors who like the sculpt's proportions. If you have been tracking this set for a display next to your other TMNT pieces, the restock window is open now at import specialty retailers.

Masters of the Universe: Teela's Staff of Ka
Factory Entertainment cast Teela's Staff of Ka, the kobra-headed staff from the classic MOTU cartoon, as a roughly 9 inch scaled prop replica in solid metal. That is a deliberate choice: a resin or plastic version would not carry the same weight or finish for a shelf piece meant to stand next to a MOTU figure lineup rather than just sit flat in a box. It ships in collector-ready display packaging, and pre-orders are open now through Entertainment Earth.

Masters of the Universe Chronicles: Battle Cat
Mattel's MOTU Chronicles Battle Cat dropped to $17.99 on Amazon, down from its usual $44.99, one of the steeper cuts we have seen on this figure. At less than half price, it is a solid entry point if you have been holding off on filling out the Chronicles line's core cast. Deals like this tend to move fast, so do not sit on it too long if He-Man's ride has been on your list.

Star Trek: The Original Series M5 Computer
Factory Entertainment's newest Star Trek prop replica recreates the M5 Multitronic Unit, the rogue supercomputer from the classic Original Series episode The Ultimate Computer. It is an officially licensed 5 inch cast resin replica that comes with its own display stand, sized to sit comfortably on a shelf rather than dominate one. For an episode-specific prop like this, resin keeps the sculpt crisp without the added cost of a full metal casting. Pre-orders are open now through Entertainment Earth.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ReAction+ Wave 1
Super7's first wave of TMNT ReAction+ figures is in stock, covering Shredder, Foot Soldier, Raphael, and Donatello, all built on the vintage G.I. Joe o-ring format Super7 loves working in. Amazon currently has some of the wave marked down to $20.99 each, while Entertainment Earth and Super7's own store are holding at the standard $25. The o-ring articulation is a deliberate throwback choice, it will not give you the range of a modern Marvel Legends figure, but it nails the feel of an 80s toy shelf.

LEGO Icons: Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Bridge Set
LEGO's newest Icons set recreates the bridge and transporter room of the Original Series Enterprise across 1,701 pieces, a nice touch that matches the ship's registry number. It comes with eight minifigures, Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Sulu, McCoy, Chekov, Chapel, and Scott, plus a set of tribbles and small accessories like Spock's harp and a pair of Vulcan lirpas. Little interactive touches carry the display value: a dial beams crew off the transporter pad, a lever swings the turbolift doors open, and the captain's chair rocks to sell a battle scene. It ships September 1st for $199.99.

MAFEX: The Dark Knight Returns Batman & Superman
Medicom's MAFEX line is tackling Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Falls storyline with a Batman and Superman pairing, each priced at $79.99 and set to ship this December. MAFEX has built its name on packing real articulation into a smaller package without losing sculpt detail, which matters for a confrontation as physical as this one. Pre-orders for both figures are open now through Entertainment Earth.
