This week in toy news brought the Masters of the Universe movie era into full swing, with Hot Toys announcing 1/6 scale He-Man and Skeletor figures while Mattel dropped Origins characters across multiple waves. TMNT collectors had a stacked week too, from NECA's 2012 series reveals to Mezco's One:12 Deluxe Boxed Set and the entire Playmates x GI Joe crossover lineup finally going live for pre-orders.
McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Wave 29: Batman (Dark Knight Returns)
McFarlane is putting out a Frank Miller-inspired Batman in DC Multiverse Wave 29, based on the armored look from the classic 1986 Dark Knight Returns comic.

Hasbro Transformers Age of the Primes: Mirage, Ironhide and Bluestreak Set

McFarlane Toys DC Retro Super Friends Wave 5
McFarlane's DC Retro Super Friends line keeps rolling with Wave 5, and this one's worth paying attention to. Black Vulcan, Superman paired with Mister Mxyzptlk, and Wonder Woman make up the standard lineup at around $22 to $24.99 each, shipping July. There are three chase variants too: Evil Wonder Woman, Crystalized Superman, and Phantom Zone Batman, which are exclusive to GameStop locations. These are styled after the animated series that ran from 1973 through 1985, and Black Vulcan and Wonder Woman sold out within minutes at launch, so set your alerts for the chases.

Mezco Toyz TMNT Comics One:12 Collective Deluxe Boxed Set
Mezco's TMNT Comics One:12 Collective Deluxe Boxed Set is the kind of drop that makes sense of why collectors stockpile shelf space. You get all four turtles in one shot: Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mike, each with alternate heads, swappable hands, their weapons, display bases, and adjustable posts. The accessory count is impressive for the comics-accurate aesthetic and includes a Walkman, night vision goggles, wrist communicator, bandana ties, climbing claws, throwing darts, shuriken, tonfa, kunai, a push dagger, and kyoketsu shoge. At $350 with a December 2026 ship window, it's a commitment, but this is the kind of set Mezco was built to deliver.

Hasbro Marvel Legends Series: Spider-Man Retro Spider-Man Noir Figure
Spider-Man Noir is getting a Marvel Legends treatment in the Retro lineup, pulled from the comic series rather than the animated take. It's a 6-inch figure at $27.99, currently up for pre-order exclusively on Amazon with an August 1, 2026 ship date. If you've been building out a Spider-Verse corner of your shelf, this adds some visual contrast between the classic spandex figures and Noir's darker costume.

Hasbro Marvel Legends Series: Future Foundation The Thing and Invisible Woman
Hasbro's putting out a Future Foundation two-pack in the Marvel Legends line, pairing The Thing and Invisible Woman in their white uniforms. At $59.99 for the pair with a September 2026 ship date, it's a solid value for two figures. Future Foundation costumes don't show up often in the six-inch scale, so this is a good pickup if you're a Fantastic Four collector or just want something beyond the standard blue suits on your shelf.

Super7 ThunderCats Ultimates: Snarf Figure (Reissue)
Super7's giving collectors a second shot at Snarf with a ThunderCats Ultimates reissue, priced at $64.99 with a July 2026 ship window. He fits right alongside existing Ultimates releases like Tygra, Wilykit, Wilykat, Slithe, and Bengali, though Super7 notes minor paint variations may appear compared to earlier releases in the line. If you missed him the first time around, this is likely your best opportunity.

Mattel Masters of the Universe Origins Whiplash (200X Cartoon Collection) Deluxe Figure
Mattel is tapping into the 200X cartoon era with an Origins Whiplash done up as a Deluxe figure in the Cartoon Collection sub-line. The 2002 animated version of Whiplash had a distinct look compared to the classic character, and it's good to see it getting dedicated treatment at the Origins scale. He's $24.99 with a June 2026 ship date.

Masters of the Universe: Three New Movie Featurettes Online
Amazon MGM is in full promotional mode for the live-action Masters of the Universe film hitting theaters June 5. Three new featurettes dropped this week giving a closer look at the production. This one isn't a toy release, but with the film that close to opening, the figure waves tied to it are right behind it.
The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4 Trailer
Prime Video dropped the trailer for The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4, with the premiere set for June 3. Season 4 picks up after the group has gone their separate ways following Season 3, each pursuing personal arcs before a new threat pulls them back together. Not a toy drop, but Vox Machina figures exist in the collector space and the show returning is worth flagging for fans of the IP.
McFarlane Toys DC Super Powers Wave 1
McFarlane Toys and Entertainment Earth are launching a new DC Super Powers line, and Wave 1 brings six figures at the 4.5 inch retro scale. The roster covers Supergirl, Cyborg Superman, Power Girl, Eradicator, Hal Jordan Green Lantern, and Robin. Pre-orders go live May 26 at noon Eastern, exclusive to Entertainment Earth for now. The announcement mentions at least four more waves already in development, which tells you this is a serious long-term commitment to the Super Powers format.

Hot Toys Masters of the Universe: He-Man and Skeletor 1/6 Scale
Hot Toys just announced 1/6 scale He-Man and Skeletor figures for Masters of the Universe, and the tease is enough to get collectors planning shelf space. No price, release window, or accessories list has been shared yet. What is confirmed is that both characters are coming in 1/6 scale under the Hot Toys banner. For MOTU fans who have wanted the franchise at that level of detail, this is the announcement they have been waiting for.

Masters of the Universe Movie Origins: Skele-Knight
Mattel revealed the Skele-Knight for the Masters of the Universe Movie Origins line, and this reads as the foot-soldier army-builder that Eternia displays have been missing. The figure ships with alternate heads: one with heavier black markings on the cheeks designating a leader variant, and others configured as standard soldiers for building out the ranks. No US release date or price has been announced.
Mattel DC Core 6.5 Inch Wave 2
Fresh images surfaced for Mattel's DC Core 6.5 inch Wave 2, showing four new individual figures and a three-pack.

Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x G.I. Joe Figures and Vehicles
Playmates announced the full TMNT x GI Joe lineup and it's bigger than most collectors expected. The core figures run 4.5 to 5.25 inches and match the turtles to classic GI Joe roles: Leo as Snake Eyes, Raph as Roadblock, Donnie as Dial-Tone, Mikey as Shipwreck. Villains follow the same logic with Cobra Commander, Krang cast as Destro, and Slash filling in for Storm Shadow. Vehicles include the Turtle-Fly Copter and the AWE Shell-Striker. Pre-orders open May 24 at midnight PST, with exclusives going to Amazon (Raph/Wild Bill Turtle-Fly Copter), SDCC (Snake Eyes Leo set with Timber and Rahzar), and Target (Turtle Tank re-release plus military four-pack with parachute).

Mattel Masters of the Universe Origins Expand-Or Action Figure
Mattel is adding Expand-Or to the Masters of the Universe Origins lineup and the gimmick translates well to the format. The 5.5-inch Horde warrior features an elongating torso and neck plus four detachable extenders that stack onto any limb. At 16 articulation points he fits right in with the rest of the Origins wave, and the dragon-headed spear with a removable fire-burst sleeve is a quality accessory. A mini comic titled Black Paladin ties into his connection to his doppelganger Extendar. Club Grayskull members get first access on MattelCreations May 27 at noon EDT, with general availability opening May 28.

Mattel Barbie Signature DC Studios Supergirl Barbie Doll
Mattel is bridging the Barbie Signature collector line and the DC Studios film universe with this Supergirl doll. The movie-accurate suit carries the S-Shield, flowing cape, and thigh-high boots from the 2026 film, and the face sculpt is designed to reflect the movie's look. Doll designer Stone Procaccino and packaging designer Diana Leto are both credited on the product. A Certificate of Authenticity is included. This one lives squarely in the display collector space.

The 7-inch Elite Edition ships with a strong accessories package: giant pistol, Mac-10, four swappable hands, alternate head, sunglasses, art gallery book, collectible art card, and display base. The base connects with other Founders Series Elite figures planned throughout 2026, so McFarlane is building this into an expanding display set. Pre-orders open May 29 at noon EDT.

Storm Collectibles Final Fight 1/12 Scale Mike Haggar Figure
Storm Collectibles is taking on Mike Haggar from the original 1990 Final Fight arcade game with a new 1/12 scale figure. Haggar is Metro City's mayor turned street brawler, a former pro wrestler who went after the Mad Gear Gang personally when they kidnapped his daughter Jessica. Storm has a strong track record with beat-em-up characters from their Street Fighter work, and Haggar in 1/12 has plenty of room for dynamic posing given his size and build. Pre-orders are open now.
