A quieter one on the toy news front today, but McFarlane's Darkseid vs Orion 2-pack pre-order went live and Kaiyodo unloaded a fresh batch of Amazing Yamaguchi Revoltech figures spanning Attack on Titan, DC, and Ninja Gaiden.
Blokees DC Comics Champion Class Batman: Hush Joker Model Kit
The Joker is the latest addition to Blokees' Champion Class lineup, reimagined in the moody, oversized art style of Batman: Hush. This tier of the Blokees catalog runs bigger than their standard kits, giving the sculpt room to sell that exaggerated grin and sharply tailored purple suit. Like the rest of the line, it snaps together panel by panel with no glue or paint needed out of the box. It is a fun one to picture repainting once it is out of the box, since the model kit format leaves plenty of flat surface to work with. Pre-orders are open now.

McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Darkseid vs Orion 2-Pack
McFarlane dropped official images of its new DC Multiverse Darkseid vs Orion 2-pack, and it is a straight shot at one of Jack Kirby's defining Fourth World rivalries. Pre-orders went live today at noon Eastern for $69.99, putting two heavily built New Gods on the shelf in one box. Darkseid vs Orion has been a reliable matchup for McFarlane's DC line because the scale contrast alone tells the story before you even pose them. You can grab this one through Entertainment Earth or Amazon now that the wait is over.

Mattel MOTU Origins Sketchbook Series Man-At-Arms
Man-At-Arms is the newest face in Mattel's MOTU Origins Sketchbook Series, the line that reimagines classic Eternia characters through an early concept-art lens rather than the usual toy-accurate sculpts. As Grayskull's resident weapons master and He-Man's mentor, he has always been one of the more character-driven figures in the roster, and the Sketchbook treatment gives him a rougher, hand-drawn edge that sets him apart from the mainline Origins release. It is currently available to buy directly through Target.com. Worth grabbing if you have been collecting this sub-line for the art style alone.

Kaiyodo Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Attack on Titan: Cart Titan
Kaiyodo's Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi line is turning its attention to one of Attack on Titan's stranger designs with the Cart Titan. The line's signature revolver-joint articulation should make posing that hunched, quadrupedal stance a lot easier than it looks in the anime. Kaiyodo is holding back an alternate head as a Kaiyodo Store exclusive, so the widely available version ships with the standard sculpt. Full pricing and release details are still to come.
Kaiyodo Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi DC Comics Peacemaker
Peacemaker is the next figure out of Kaiyodo's Amazing Yamaguchi Revoltech line, bringing the character's chrome helmet and self-serious attitude into figure form. The line's revolver-joint build has always been suited to big, comic-accurate poses, which fits a character this theatrical. Kaiyodo is again setting aside an alternate helmet as a Kaiyodo Store exclusive, for anyone chasing the unmasked look. More details on pricing and release are expected soon.
Kaiyodo Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Ninja Gaiden 4: Yakumo
Yakumo joins the Amazing Yamaguchi Revoltech roster straight out of Ninja Gaiden 4, adding the newer game to Kaiyodo's long run of Team Ninja adaptations. Kaiyodo is setting aside an extra sword as a Kaiyodo Store exclusive, usually a sign the standard release still comes loaded with its own gear. The revolver-joint build should handle the character's acrobatic combat animations well once it is in hand. Stay tuned for pricing and release details.

Kaiyodo Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge Momiji
Momiji is getting the Amazing Yamaguchi treatment in her Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge design, rounding out Kaiyodo's growing corner of the franchise alongside the newly announced Yakumo. The Kaiyodo Store exclusive version swaps in a face plate with closed eyes, a nice option for anyone who wants a quieter alternate expression on the shelf. Kaiyodo has not published pricing or release timing yet. Stay tuned for more information.
G.I. Joe Classified Series x Tomb Raider Lara Croft
Lara Croft is back up for pre-order in the G.I. Joe Classified Series crossover line after selling out fast more than once already. This round has her priced at $44.99, with a ship date targeted for September 29. The crossover puts Tomb Raider's most famous explorer into Hasbro's Classified sculpt style and articulation scheme, which has done right by plenty of other outside franchises so far. If you missed the first two waves of pre-orders, this is the one to move fast on.
