This week's roundup runs deep across DC, Marvel, and G.I. Joe, but the standout is McFarlane's Darkseid vs Orion two-pack finally going up for pre-order alongside a fresh wave of Kaiyodo's import Revoltech reveals. Mattel's MOTU Origins Two-Bad also proved popular enough that Club Grayskull members got first crack before it opened to everyone else.
Jazwares Vault AEW ROH Athena
Jazwares is going deep into their Vault line for Ring of Honor's Athena, sculpted at 6 inches with 25 points of articulation off a full body scan of the wrestler. The set leans hard into presentation, pairing her with entrance wings and the ROH Women's World Championship belt she defended at Death Before Dishonor 2023, plus two swappable hands for different poses. It's a Jazwares Vault exclusive, so this one only comes direct from Jazwares rather than through the usual retail channels.
Masters of the Universe Origins Sketchbook Series Man-At-Arms
Mattel's Sketchbook Series keeps turning early character concept art into full Masters of the Universe Origins figures, and Man-At-Arms is the newest one to make the jump. It keeps the line's off-model, sketch-inspired look rather than matching his classic vintage design, which is exactly the appeal for collectors chasing the weirder corners of the MOTU catalog. The figure is available to order now directly through Target.com.
Blokees DC Comics Champion Class Batman: Hush Joker Model Kit
Blokees is bringing a new DC Comics Champion Class model kit built around the Joker from Batman: Hush, set to debut at WonderFest 2026 in Shanghai. It follows their earlier Champion Class Batman and Catwoman kits from the same story, continuing the build-it-yourself take on Jim Lee's redesigns. No release details beyond the con debut yet, but it rounds out a solid Hush-themed shelf for anyone collecting the set.

Kaiyodo Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Attack on Titan: Cart Titan
Kaiyodo's Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi line is expanding into Attack on Titan with the Cart Titan, giving the beast-class titan the brand's signature swap-joint articulation system. A Kaiyodo Store exclusive head sculpt is part of the reveal too, which is typical for how the company splits its convention and general releases. Full release details are still to come, but the sculpt work on the titan's proportions already stands out.
Kaiyodo Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Ninja Gaiden 4 Yakumo
Kaiyodo is adding Yakumo from Ninja Gaiden 4 to its Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi line, sculpted with the brand's signature swap-out revolver joints for a full range of motion. A Kaiyodo Store exclusive sword variant is part of the reveal, which is the usual way the company splits general and convention stock. Full release details haven't been announced yet, but the early photos already show off the articulation in some dynamic poses.
Kaiyodo Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi DC Comics Peacemaker
DC's Peacemaker is joining Kaiyodo's Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi line next, built with the same swap-joint articulation system the brand is known for. A Kaiyodo Store exclusive alternate helmet ships alongside the standard reveal, continuing the company's usual convention-versus-general split. Pricing and release timing haven't been confirmed yet, but the sculpt already leans into the character's comic look.
Kaiyodo Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge Momiji
Kaiyodo is rounding out its Ninja Gaiden wave with Momiji from Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, joining Yakumo in the Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi lineup. A Kaiyodo Store exclusive alternate face plate with closed eyes comes with the reveal, matching the split the brand uses for its other convention exclusives. No pricing or ship date yet, but the initial photography shows the articulation holding up across some fairly acrobatic poses.
Batman: The Animated Series Harley Quinn 1:6 Scale
Mondo's Batman: The Animated Series 1:6 scale line finally gets its Harley Quinn, done up in the show's classic animated deco so she looks like she stepped right off the cel. She comes loaded for a display case, with over 30 points of articulation, two interchangeable portraits, and ten swappable hands for building out different scenes. Pre-orders are open now through Entertainment Earth, and orders over $79 ship free in the US.

NECA Sesame Street Ultimate Blue Big Bird
NECA just put up pre-orders for a convention-exclusive take on Big Bird, done up in his "blue bird" form. This one is a real deluxe piece, standing over 10 inches tall with more than 30 points of articulation, including a hinged jaw so you can pose him mid-song. The accessory set is stacked too: interchangeable hands, a necktie, Radar the teddy bear, a storybook, and a big letter "B" for the alphabet gag. It ships in a window box with storybook-style art on the front. This one's a con-exclusive sold through NECA's own store, so it isn't showing up at Entertainment Earth or Amazon.
Hiya Toys King Ghidorah Gravity Beam Ver.
Hiya Toys opened pre-orders on their Gravity Beam version of King Ghidorah from Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and it's a big one at roughly 13 inches tall. It keeps Ghidorah's classic three-headed design from the film, with enough articulation across the wings and necks to get some real dynamic poses out of it. The included gravity beam effect parts are the reason to pick this version over a standard release, letting you recreate the kaiju's signature attack right on the shelf. It's molded in ABS and PVC, the usual combo at this scale. Entertainment Earth already has it listed if you want to lock in a pre-order.
DC Multiverse Green Lantern Corps Wave
McFarlane Toys' new DC Multiverse Green Lantern Corps wave just landed in stock, which beats sitting on a pre-order for once. The wave fills out the Corps with Kyle Rayner alongside Medphyll, Naut Ke Loi, and Ghr'll, three aliens most toy lines never bother making. Entertainment Earth is running free shipping on qualifying orders over $79 right now, so it's a good time to grab the whole set instead of picking favorites.
Masters of the Universe Origins Two-Bad
Mattel's newest MOTU Origins figure is Two-Bad, the two-headed mercenary whose heads never agree on anything, which is basically the whole character concept in toy form. He's sculpted at 5.5 inches with 16 points of articulation and bright, opposing color schemes split down each half of his body to sell the two-personalities-one-body gag. He comes with a yellow shield that matches his chest armor and a mini comic, both nice touches for a modern Origins release. This one's a MattelCreations.com exclusive that opened to Club Grayskull members first before going to the general public, so it's while-supplies-last direct from Mattel, not something you'll find at Entertainment Earth or Amazon.
DC Multiverse Darkseid vs Orion 2-Pack
McFarlane Toys is teeing up a new DC Multiverse two-pack pairing Darkseid against Orion, always a fun matchup to have on the shelf together. Pre-orders aren't live yet: they open tomorrow, September 25, at 12pm EDT, across the usual retailers including Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore. Once that window opens there'll be somewhere real to send you, but for today there's nothing to click on yet.
Mega Man MDLX Forte
threezero's MDLX line just added Forte, Dr. Wily's answer to Mega Man and one of the more requested rivals in the franchise. He's a small-scale figure at about 4 inches, but threezero packed in 34 points of articulation along with die-cast metal parts mixed into the ABS and PVC build for extra heft. The accessory list covers his Buster weapon, a two-shot plasma projectile effect piece, an alternate faceplate, two extra pairs of hands, and magnetic feet so he can stick to metal surfaces for display tricks. Black armor with yellow accents and that arched headpiece with the orange-and-black wings make him instantly readable on a shelf full of Mega Man blue.
One:12 Collective Foot Soldiers Army Builder Set
Mezco just opened orders on their One:12 Collective Foot Soldiers, an army-builder three-pack for anyone assembling a proper TMNT rogues' gallery. Each ninja stands around 17cm with more than 30 points of articulation and eight interchangeable hands apiece, which is a lot of posing range for a rank-and-file figure. The costuming is the real selling point: fabric hood, face covering, tailored cloak, layered tunic, waist sash, and wrapped arms and legs, all hand-painted. Weapon loadout per figure includes tekko-kagi, tanto, kogatana, ninjato, shinobigatana, a turtle shell biter, a naginata, a kunai rope dart, a sansetsukon, and four shuriken, plus a display base with an adjustable post for each one. This set is a Mezco exclusive sold direct through their own site, so there's no Entertainment Earth or Amazon listing to send you to.
Star Trek: The Original Series Ensign Pavel Chekov
EXO-6 opened pre-orders on their 1/6 scale Ensign Pavel Chekov from the original Star Trek series, and this is a museum-grade piece built for display, not play. He stands 11.81 inches with 30 points of articulation, dressed in the command-division tunic, and the hand-painted head sculpt is going for Walter Koenig's youthful look from the show. Accessories cover both phaser types, a communicator, a tricorder, and a figure base, a full away-team loadout. It's built from ABS, PVC, and fabric, and it's officially licensed.
Marvel Legends Fantastic Four Super-Skrull
Hasbro is bringing back the Marvel Legends Super-Skrull, a Fantastic Four villain who previously only showed up as an exclusive, so this is a genuine back-by-popular-demand reissue. It's the standard 6-inch Marvel Legends scale, priced between $46.99 and $47.99 depending on retailer. Shipping is expected in the October to November 2026 window, so there's a bit of a wait even once you lock in a pre-order.
G.I. Joe Classified Series Snake Eyes & Varmint ATV vs. Stealth Viper & Cobra Stealth Flight Pod
Good news if you already pre-ordered this Classified Series two-pack: Snake Eyes and his Varmint ATV versus Stealth Viper and the Cobra Stealth Flight Pod, the "Trubble Bubble" set, starts shipping September 29 at Amazon. It's a $109.99 set, so you're getting a vehicle-scale rivalry pairing rather than just two loose figures. Entertainment Earth, Amazon, and a handful of other retailers all have it listed if you haven't grabbed one yet.
Marvel Legends Spider-Man (Marvel Holiday Special)
Hasbro's holiday-themed Marvel Legends Spider-Man just opened for pre-order, and it leans all the way into the bit: Santa hat, Santa coat, two alternate hands, and a soft-goods sack stuffed with four mystery presents. It's the standard 6-inch scale, priced at $34.99, with a December 2026 release lining up right on schedule for the holidays. This is a fun one for anyone who likes rotating a seasonal figure into their display each year.
Robosen Transformers Optimus Prime Trailer Kit
Robosen and Hasbro are teaming up on a trailer kit built specifically for the Robosen Optimus Prime Elite Edition, sold separately from this accessory. It's a big ask at $1,119.99, but that's in line with what Robosen charges for its robotics-driven Transformers line, where motors and sound work do a lot of the heavy lifting most static figures can't touch. It's listed in stock now, with pre-orders also open through a handful of other retailers. If you already own the Elite Edition Prime, this is the trailer that finally lets him roll out the way he's supposed to.
Hasbro Marvel Legends Iron Man (Extremis) and Mandarin
Hasbro's Extremis Iron Man is back, and this release finally opens up beyond its original Amazon exclusivity. It's a re-release of the 2023 sculpt with an added unhelmeted Tony Stark head, pulling from the 2007 Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. run in the comics rather than any recent film continuity. Pairing him with Mandarin in the same set gives the shelf a proper rival matchup instead of a lone repaint. At $57.99 with a Q4 2026 ship window, it's a reasonable price for a Legends double-pack, especially one built around a specific comic era instead of a generic reissue.
52Toys FigLite Street Fighter 6 Ryu and Chun-Li
52Toys is bringing its FigLite line into the fighting game space with Ryu and Chun-Li at 1/12 scale, and both are now in stock. FigLite has built a name for itself on compact, budget-friendly sculpts that still hold a clean silhouette, which makes it a solid entry point for anyone who wants Street Fighter 6 on the shelf without committing to a premium-scale statue. Ryu and Chun-Li are the two most obvious picks to launch a line like this, and if this wave sells through expect the rest of the roster to follow.
Jazwares Stranger Things: Tales From 85
Jazwares' Tales From 85 wave for Stranger Things has landed on Amazon, rounding out the line with Eleven, the Mulligan Creature, Snow Shark, and Dustin. This is the kind of assortment that works best as a set rather than a single pickup, since the appeal is putting the cast and its creatures on the same shelf together. The Mulligan Creature and Snow Shark in particular give collectors monster figures they can't get anywhere else in this scale, which is usually the harder gap to fill in a licensed line built around a cast of teenagers.
S.H.Figuarts All For One (My Hero Academia)
Tamashii Nations is bringing My Hero Academia's ultimate villain into S.H.Figuarts scale with All For One, built specifically around the final battle. The included effect parts recreate his quirks in action, and swappable parts let you show off the height and build changes from his mid fight rejuvenation. The nicest touch for anime collectors is compatibility: the head parts are made to work with the separately sold S.H.Figuarts Katsuki Bakugo -The Beginning- figure, so you can actually stage the climactic confrontation on the shelf. That kind of cross figure planning is exactly the sort of engineering we geek out over here, since we deal with the same interchangeable part logic designing our own commission pieces. Pre-orders are open now.
S.H.Figuarts Sakazuki (Akainu): Marineford
Bandai's S.H.Figuarts line adds Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, better known as Akainu, in his Marineford appearance from One Piece. The set leans into the character's magma powers with effect parts built to recreate his battle attacks straight out of the war arc. Articulation is tuned for dynamic, mid strike poses rather than just a standing display pose, which matters for a fight this iconic. One Piece figures live and die by how well they nail a specific moment, and this one is clearly built around that Marineford scene. It's up for pre-order now.
DC Page Punchers Batman and Nightwing
McFarlane's Page Punchers line pairs each 7 inch figure with the actual comic it's based on, and this wave covers Batman pulled from Batman #1 and Nightwing pulled from Nightwing #81. At $27.99 each, you get the book bagged in with the figure, which is the whole appeal of this line for anyone building a themed shelf display. Pre-orders opened September 18 at noon Eastern, with figures expected to ship in October 2026. It's a straightforward release, no gimmicks, just comic accurate sculpts paired with their source material.
DC Direct Robin (Dick Grayson) and Robin (Tim Drake) Red Platinum
DC Direct is also putting out a Red Platinum variant pairing, Robin Dick Grayson pulled from Batman Issue 1 and Robin Tim Drake pulled from Nightwing Issue 81. The Red Platinum treatment is McFarlane's premium foil finish tier, aimed at collectors who want a flashier alternate to a standard release. These are a GameStop pre-order exclusive, so if you don't have a GameStop nearby or online ordering access is spotty, expect this one to be tougher to track down. Early collector reports already mention ordering hiccups, so move fast if the finish is what you're after.
Hiya Toys Godzilla Ultima (Godzilla Singular Point)
Hiya Toys is expanding their Exquisite Basic series with Godzilla Ultima, the final evolved form from the Godzilla Singular Point anime. This is a big sculpt for the line at roughly 17cm tall and about 70cm from head to tail, and it leans hard into the design's layered, almost organic skin texture and the oversized dorsal fins running down to the tail. The tail itself is multi jointed for natural sweeping poses, and two interchangeable hands let you switch between a stalking pose and a clawed attack pose. Heads up that this isn't a quick turnaround release, Hiya has it slated for Q4 2027, so this is a pre-order for patient collectors.
Star Trek Wave 3 Price Increase
Nacelle's Brian Volk Weiss confirmed in a Facebook video that Wave 3 of the Star Trek figure line is coming before the end of the year, and it's bringing a price increase with it. Waves 1 and 2 have retailed at $28.99, and Volk Weiss floated numbers in the couple of dollars range, at one point mentioning $5 before walking that back to probably less. Wave 3 rounds out the Original Series bridge crew, Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, Sulu, Chekov, Scott, and Nurse Chapel, plus a Janice Rand figure and a Gene Roddenberry and Lucille Ball two pack. Rising material and shipping costs are squeezing everybody in this hobby right now, us included, so the honesty about the increase is at least refreshing. Firmer pricing and dates are expected out of New York Comic Con next month.
Boss Fight Studio Ghost of Lobster Johnson (Hellboy)
Boss Fight Studio is going deep into Mike Mignola's Hellboy universe with the Ghost of Lobster Johnson, a 1/12 scale take on the pulp vigilante pulled from his appearance in Conqueror Worm. This version depicts the character as the spectral figure who keeps fighting crime after death, and the sculpt backs that up with a full glow in the dark blue finish and dark blue detailing instead of the usual muted pulp palette. Loadout is solid too: dual pistols, a submachine gun, alternate hands, and his signature calling cards. It's a BigBadLaunchPad exclusive limited to 2,000 units, so there's no general retail link to chase right now, just the campaign page itself.
DC Multiverse Batman (Arkham City, Bloody) Gold Label
McFarlane's Gold Label banner usually means a beat up, battle damaged repaint of an existing sculpt, and that's exactly what's happening here with a bloodied take on the Arkham City Batman. It's a 7 inch DC Multiverse figure pulled straight from the Rocksteady game's aesthetic, playing up the wear and tear era of that particular Batsuit. Accessory details weren't part of this pre-order alert, so treat this one as a straight sculpt and paint pickup rather than a loaded accessory set. It's currently up for pre-order through GameStop.
DC Direct Batman Beyond and Batman Noel Cowl Replicas
McFarlane's DC Direct line is putting out two cowl replicas for display collectors rather than action figure fans specifically, a 1:1 scale Batman Beyond cowl and a smaller 1:3 scale Batman Noel cowl. Going full scale on the Beyond cowl is the more interesting move since that's a harder shape to nail at wearable size, sharp ears and that flattened animated style face profile. The Noel cowl at 1:3 scale reads more like a shelf piece playing off that Batman Beyond holiday variant look. Both are up for pre-order now.
G.I. Joe Classified Ninja Force Snake Eyes and Jinx
Hasbro's loading up this Target exclusive Ninja Force two pack with accessories, 21 pieces total between Snake Eyes and Jinx. Snake Eyes comes with an alternate wolf masked head plus nunchuks, claws, a knife, two swords, and a scabbard, while Jinx, Kim Arashikage, gets a bow and arrow with quiver, two swords, alternate hands and head, a raven mask, and a removable feather shawl. That's the kind of loadout that actually justifies calling them elite ninja operatives instead of just repainted body types. It's part of Target's Fall Geek-Out event, opened for pre-order September 18 at 9am ET for $59.99, with shipping expected in October 2026.
NECA Batman (1989 Film) Clothed Figure
NECA's 8 inch clothed Batman from the 1989 Tim Burton film is back in stock, which is good news since this one tends to sell out fast. The soft goods cape is wire enabled so it actually holds a pose instead of flopping flat, and the tailoring does real work capturing that bulky Michael Keaton era suit silhouette. He comes with swappable hands, a Batarang, and a grapnel launcher, and the window box packaging is styled to echo the original vintage toy line. If you missed it the first time around, now's the window.
G.I. Joe Classified D.I.R.E. Hawk: First Look
An early look at Hasbro's next G.I. Joe Classified Walmart exclusive surfaced through an eBay listing, showing what appears to be the Cobra D.I.R.E. Tech Hawk figure. The wings look to be the same variant tooling that first showed up with the Raptor figure, reused here for a different Cobra flight trooper. Nothing's official yet, this is a first look and not a confirmed reveal, but the timing lines up with Walmart's 2026 Fall Collector Con event next month. Worth keeping an eye on if you collect the Cobra air force side of the Classified line.
That's Figure Friday
