Marvel Select After initially saying they had no plans for Netflix figures, Diamond softened their stance in recent months - and we can now see why as they've have just unveiled a Netflix Daredevil in their 7" Select range - complete with unmasked head.

Daredevil will come with a diorama of the lift from the fight scene in series 1.

Other Select Figures First up is a look at the Diamond Select Nightmare before Christmas, Series 4, figures - starting with Pyjama Jack

Pulp Fiction / Kill Bill It seems the Diamond Pulp Fiction range of 7" select figures is still progressing. Three figures were on display at Toy Fair - Jules, Butch and Marsellus.

These are now on the release schedule after spending quite a while in development, they should be in stores by Autumn 2017.

Each will come with a diorama base, with the bases for Butch and Marsellus interconnecting to a sidewalk diorama.

We also got our first look at the brand new Select Spider-Man from Homecoming and Starlord from Guardians of the Galaxy. The Starlord appears to come with the masked head, and the images are not clear if a second head is packed in. It has been confirmed Starlord will come with rocket attachments for his boots, similar to those seen on the comic book version.

For comic book collectors we can see Lady Deadpool but also a Spider-Gwen figure - both of which will hit Comic Book Stores later in 2017

Between Pulp Fiction & Kill Bill, DST have 21 figures planned and within this we will be getting Harvey Keitel's Winston Wolf and Christopher Walken's Captain Koons. Where the opportunities arise, the diorama bases will connect up so we will be seeing some dioramas of Jack Rabbit Slims, The Diner and from Kill Bill - The House of Blue Leaves, with figures like Bill and O-Ren. "Jules, Marsellus and Butch are leading off #PulpFiction Select Action Figures Series 1. Coming this fall! #toyfair #toyfair2017 #5407" - DST via Twitter

We've also had promotional images for the next wave of Muppet Select figures. This three pack release will feature The Swedish Chef. Sam the Eagle packed with Rizzo the Rat. Doctor Teeth and Zoot.

Diamond have also secured the licence to the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and you can see their first Select Captain Jack in the images below. Other figures will be Barbosa and Salazar, the new bad guy. Buy all three figures and you can build a diorama of the deck of the Black Pearl.

For Star Trek fans, the next Select Trek figure will be a Borg. This was not allowed to be photographed so there are no images at this stage.

Other licences in the Select range discussed at Toy Fair, but not on display, are for the upcoming Stephen King Dark Tower movie and for the Nintendo Video Game Kingdom Hearts. We look forward to seeing the first images of these.

Ghostbusters Ghostbusters will continue into 2017 with a whole new series which will be based on Ghostbusters 2. The first figure we've seen is Vigo the Carpathian, and there was a mockup of Peter MacNichols Doctor Janosz alongside Vigo and Janosz will come with the painting of Vigo as a pack in accessory.

The new series will include a Build a Fire Station diorama, and this was mocked up behind the figures. You can see the mockup of the Firehouse in the images below along with the GB2 hanging sign to the right. (Images via the Fwoosh)

Pacific Rim : Uprising

In a follow up tweet, DST have confirmed that like the Ghostbuster figures (series 1 to 5) there will be 15 figures in this Ghostbuster 2 Series each coming with a part of the Firehouse. The hanging sign will have two options so you can build your diorama as either a Ghostbusters 1 or Ghostbusters 2 firehouse.

While Funko take the iconic Playmobil figure, blow it up to 6" and release it in different cult guises - Playmobil have used this partnership, and most likely Funko's licensing expertise, to capture the Ghostbusters licence for their first ever Movie tie in Playmobil releases.

These are the standard size Playmobil figures, which then means various playsets, vehicles and accessories can be released at a reasonably low price point.

Already confirmed for a Summer 2017 release are the four Ghostbusters, an ECTO-1, Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, Slimer and the Firehouse.

While not on display at Toy Fair 2017, the Tamashii team confirmed they will be making figures (SH Figuarts), Chogokin and Gunpla Kits.

"The Ghostbusters Firehouse is the next build-a-diorama in the Ghostbusters Select Action Figure line! Collect all 15 pieces in Series 6-10, starting with Vigo the Carpathian! (Paper rendering shown, actual size with silhouette on right and footprint below.)" - DST via Twitter You will also be able to add Marshmallow Winston and Marshmallow Egon to the collection.

Unlike the other Marshmallow figures, Diamond have said this is NOT an exclusive - and can be purchased from your local store. These will be single releases not a true "select" release as they will come without any accessories.

Playmobil

Tamashii Nations have confirmed, via a ToyFair presentation by Adam Newman, that they will be producing items based on the Pacific Rim sequel.

Reveals themselves were few and far between for Tamashii Nations, with most of the products having already been revealed in Far East trade shows.

We saw the new WWE figures up close following their announcement

Gremlins

Batman, Predator, Superman and Aliens

We knew NECA were releasing the Ultimate Gizmo figure in Spring 2017, what we didn't know until now was that as well as the Mogwai, we have a Gremlin to look forward to in the same scale Mohawk from Gremlins 2 : The New Batch From Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Mohawk stands over 6” tall and features incredible movie-accurate detail. He’s fully articulated, including a hinged jaw, and includes with a machine gun accessory.

Comes in clamshell packaging. The perfect addition to your Gremlins collection!

Heroes of the Storm The next Heroes of the Storm figure was confirmed by NECA at Toy Fair. From the World of Warcraft comes the Orc Leader Thrall, a particularly impressive looking Orc Warchief, standing 6.5" tall

NECA are mixing up more licences with these two packs due in late Summer 2017. These packs pits and armoured comic Batman against a Predator as seen in the Batman vs Predator comic book the Predator will come with both masked and unmasked head options. Batman then faces off against a Joker inspired Xenomorph, complete with green dome and red mouth.

"NECA is extremely excited to reveal a new line of 7” action figure 2-packs inspired by classic comic book mash-ups!

BATMAN/ALIENS – BATMAN & “JOKER” ALIEN 2-PACK The first release in the “Versus” line comes from the 1997 Batman/Aliens comic book mini-series co-published by DC Comics and Dark Horse Comics. In it, #Batman faces strange new Aliens produced using DNA from some of Arkham Asylum’s deadliest inmates. The set includes two brand new, comic book based figures, both with over 30 points of articulation. Batman features a fabric cape, and the “Joker” Alien has a bendable tail. Window box packaging."

From Heroes of the Storm, the online team brawler filled with favorite characters from the video games of #Blizzard!

Orc leader Thrall (World of Warcraft) features a game-authentic sculpt with extra-detailed armor and 25+ points of articulation. The Warchief of the Horde is 6.5” tall and appropriately meaty, and comes with a hammer accessory.

Godzilla The 7" Godzilla figures for 2017 include the Shin Godzilla and an Arctic Blast Godzilla completed with blast effects. Images credited to Ultrazilla Toys

Superman will also be facing off against an Alien Xenomorph, and to help him he will be supplied with an alternative head where he is unleashing his laser vision on the Alien.

Predator Series 18 reveals so far include the full look at Dachande (Broken Tooth) who will be part of the next Predator wave later in 2017

2017 will also see us get a new Captain America, as seen in Civil War, and what looks to be a new or re-release Iron-Man (no more details as yet)

Evil Dead 2 The 7" Evil Dead figures are expanding with this 2-pack new releases in 2017.

Quarter Scale Marvel Randy Falk (NECA) tweeted this selfie ahead of the official Toy Fair opening. As you can see in the background, the Marvel Quarter Scale figures are getting their very own Doctor Strange 18" movie figure in 2017.

Evil Dead 2: One of the horror greats and a true cult classic! Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the iconic movie, NECA is proud to release a special 2-pack containing Hero Ash and Deadite Ed Getley action figures.

We soon got a better look at this figure, with the official images and promotional text directly from NECA. Fresh from #ToyFair2017, this addition to NECA’s line of incredibly detailed quarter scale action figures comes from Marvel’s 2016 Doctor Strange movie!

Based on his on-screen appearance, the former surgeon turned student of the mystic arts stands 18” tall and features the likeness of Benedict Cumberbatch.

The figure is supremely poseable, with over 25 points of articulation, and wears a detailed fabric Cloak of Levitation with inner wire armature, so that it can be posed like the sentient relic it is. Includes Eye of Agamotto, Sling Ring and a pair of alternate hands.

Hero Ash features the likeness of inimitable actor Bruce Campbell. Ash comes with a Necronomicon book that opens up, two alternate head sculpts, bone dagger, sawed off shotgun, and possessed deer head.

For comic book fans a classic Daredevil. He has already been solicited and has an August release date.

"Daredevil, the man without fear, joins NECA’s line of incredibly detailed quarter scale action figures!

Based on his classic comic book look, the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen stands 18” tall and has over 30 points of articulation for high-flying action poses.

Accessories include alternate Matt Murdock head, removed cowl, batons, interchangeable hands, and more."

Deadite Ed Getley comes with interchangeable heads, one of which comes apart to simulate his gruesome defeat by Ash’s chainsaw. Each 7” scale action figure is highly detailed and fully poseable.

The set comes in a deluxe 30th Anniversary window box with opening flap.

Alien : Covenant NECA have put out a pre-Toy Fair announcement regarding their Alien : Covenant range of figures. No Covenant items will be on display in New York, and we will have to wait until April for a first look at this exciting new chapter of the Alien universe.

The announcement has confirmed we will be seeing a Xenomorph (image to be released in April) and a "new" creature from the movie in 7" scale. There will also be a deluxe creature accessory pack. Other items will include Head/Body Knockers and the Scaler series.

3.75" and 12 " figures

Netflix (Marvel Knights)

Guardians of the Galaxy

In the 12” range there will be a Guardians of Galaxy "Walkman" 12" figure with walkman that plays real music and has FX of Chris Pratt voice.

We knew about The Punisher and Jessica Jones ahead of Toy Fair. The presentation confirmed we will be seeing Daredevil and Elektra in 6" form.

The first news from Hasbro in regards their Marvel Legends range was this early image of Ex Nihlo in the 6" range. Although appearing first in 2012 in Avengers Vol. 5 #1 - Ex Nihlo is aligned more to the Cosmic side of the Marvel Universe and Ex Nihlo will be part of 2nd Guardians of the Galaxy wave of figures. The rest of the wave is made up of Adam Warlock, Star Lord in long coat, Gamora, Rocket & Baby Groot and Nebula. The BAG will be Mantis.

Amazon will be releasing an exclusive 3.75" pack of the Sinister 6 (only five images of this at this stage). This will come in an exclusive comic art box.

There will also be a release of the comic Guardians of the Galaxy box set of 3.75" figures.

This will be exclusive to Toys R Us

Also revealed so far is an image that appears to be a repacked (or tweaked) Starlord from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 alongside a Kurt Russell figure. Kurt is playing Ego the living planet, and this appears to be the first look at the character in Human form.

The figure has already gone up for pre-order with an August 2017 release. It is exclusive to Entertainment Earth and retails for $39.99 in the US. Marvel 6” Legends Exclusives & Others Another 6" figure coming later in 2017 is Lady Thor. We would expect her to fall into a Thor Dark World wave towards the end of 2017.

Toys R Us will be getting an Exclusive Cyclops & Phoenix 2 pack. Walgreens will get a similar 2-pack exclusive of the Fantastic Four - Sue Storm and The Human Torch ANd back at Toys R Us, there will be an exclusive A-Force pack of 6 figures - Elsa Bloodstone, Lady Loki, Pulse (Monica Rambeau), She-Hulk (new head), Sif and Singularity

Spider-Man Homecoming Spider-Man Homecoming’s biggest reveal (literally) is a huge 46" high playset scaled for the 6” figures.

The Legends 6" series for Homecoming includes Spider-Man, Spider-Man (Homemade suit) and Vulture. The BAF wings, which will clip onto the Vulture figure, expand to 23" The other figures in the Spider-Man series are comic based - Moon Knight (Marvel Now), Cosmic Spider-Man with alternative heads, Tombstone and Classic Beetle.

Walmart will get a 6" Spider-man & Vulture 2-pack.

Toys R Us get a 6" Spider-Man & Mary-Jane 2-pack.

Target will get a 12" exclusive Black Suit Spider-Man. This is the Marvel Legends 12" range, not the cheaper Titan Heroes.

Roguish and unpredictable, Ego and Star-Lord share many of the same qualities as father and son. But when it comes to defending the galaxy as each sees fit, their approaches unquestionably differ. Imagine sending Ego and Star-Lord into Guardians of the Galaxy action with this 6-inch scale figure 2-pack from the Marvel Legends Series. With the Marvel Legends Series, both kid and adult Marvel fans can start a legendary collection of comic- and movie-based Marvel characters. The Marvel’s Ego and Star-Lord figures are highly articulated and feature a movie-inspired design, making them an awesome cosmic addition to the Marvel Legends Series. Ages 4 and up.

Another GOTG pack discussed in the Hasbro presentation was an evolution of Groot exclusive pack. This will be a Toys R Us exclusive.

Star Wars Black Series : General & Centerpiece Collection The centerpiece collection will comprise of a central display and static figure, the display will have light FX. Each set will have foot pegs to allow other figures to be added to bolster the diorama. The first two sets are Luke Snowspeeder Hoth and Darth Vader.

Star Wars Black Series : 40th Anniversary The Star Wars panel revealed just four new 6� figures so far in 2017, two of which are exclusive. First up and we are getting a 6" Jawa in the Black Series. It will be part of the 40th anniversary vintage card wave. The figure is fully molded, no soft goods.

There is also (as expected) the Death Star Trooper. He will come in the screen accurate black and not the grey we saw on the vintage figure.

There is a 40th Anniversary Legacy Set which is reminiscent of the Early Bird set. This contains a 6" new sculpt Darth Vader with a stand that can display 12 figures.

We originally thought Vader would also come carded as a single release, it was confirmed later that the figure would only come in the Early Bird stand set. He will be carded within the pack so fans can choose to open him, or display him carded along with the other 11 figures.

Wave 1 of the Vintage 40th Anniversary 6" collection is Leia, Luke, Han, Ben Kenobi and R2-D2. Leia has been confirmed as having an updated head sculpt, and the Luke also has some significant differences to the head sculpt. This wave will hit around April 2017.

The Force Awakens Luke Skywalker is coming (sculpt was shown in panel - but no images were permitted to be captured)

The Wave assortment for the first five figures has been released as 8 figures per case. Obi-Wan, Leia, Luke are packed two per case. Han and R2-D2 are single packed.

The 2017 announced figures were also on display Royal Guard, Lando, Tusken Raider (same figure will appear in 40th Anniversary Set), Qui-Gon and Hera.

The smaller 3" Diecast Titanium figures that were unveiled a little while back were also shown.

Star Wars Black Series : Exclusives The 6" R5-D4 was originally touted as an Entertainment Earth exclusive, but it has since been rebadged as being a Game Stop US exclusive. This will also be on a 40th Anniversary card (see below) He will not be re-released in the standard boxed packaging at a later stage.

Target will get the exclusive 6" AT-ACT driver from Rogue One Walmart will get 3.75" figure exclusive wave. Ponda Baba, Tusken Raider, Sandtrooper, Proto Fett

Wave 2 will be Chewbacca, Jawa, Death Star Trooper, Stormtrooper, Tusken Raider and C-3PO and will hit around June 2017 Celebration will then get the exclusive Luke X-Wing on the same packaging, but with a foil backing.

Hasbro have confirmed the four new figures - Jawa, Death Star Trooper, Vader and Tusken Raider - will get a release in the main range in the standard packaging at a later date.

Mezco didn't wait for the Toy Far to get underway, unveiling a large number of their 2017 products at a press even the week before the big show started in

Mezco Toyz’ One:12 Collective is getting a whole lot bigger in 2017. With three new DC characters, four new Marvel characters, and a handful more based off of cult classic films and television shows, this series is one of the most highly anticipated that we’ve ever released.

New York.

Here you can find all the new One:12 Collective figures we presented at our press event along with their accessories and stats.

Since that event, Mezco have now confirmed a number of details for these new One:12 Collective figures, including the accessories that each will be packed with. While most are due for 2017, a few may sneak into 2018.

For Marvel we will see comic book versions of Doctor Strange, Iron-Man and Wolverine. And Netflix fans will be delighted to see a Daredevil.

Over with DC we will be seeing the first female One:12 Collective figure soon with the Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad. She will be joined by Wonder Woman later in the year, based on the upcoming movie. DC fans will also be able to get their hands on Darkseid and a brand new Batman.

Other licences included Popeye, The Evil Dead, and Dawn of the Dead - with some freaky looking 6” zombies from the latter.

Please note that many of these are “in progress” prototypes so things are not completely finished. It is the burden of getting things ready to show before they are ready to show. Mezco will regularly improve its products the best we can up until the very last moment (and sometimes at the risk of missing targeted dates). But we feel it is important to give the best we can.

DC Collectables Premium Film Figures

Batman (Animated Series) Batcave with exclusive Aldred

One sad piece of information from Toy Fair was around the DC Collectables 6.75" range of premium DC movie figures. This range debuted at Toy Fair 2016 with plans for figures from Batman vs Superman, Suicide Squad and Man of Steel.

DC Collectibles have already treated us to a Batmobile and a Batwing in the 6" Animated Series range. They have now announced this 6" scale Batcave playset for release in October 2017.

The Man of Steel figures were soon canned, and now it has been confirmed that the range is not proceeding any further.

We have had the Superman and Armoured Batman releases, but DC Collectables have confirmed these are the only figures that we will see from the range.

DCC quoted a number of the other manufacturers working in this premium 6" scale. One chink of light is the mention that we may see some of these sculpts in other lines. That could still mean we see a reduced articulated version in the 6.75" line for the £20 price point.

6.75" Scale DC Comic Book First up is a new set of DC Bombshell 6.75" figures comprising of Mera, Supergirl, Batgirl, Katana, Hawkgirl and Bumblebee.

We then have a Super Sons 2-pack with Robin and Superman. A new Nightwing and a Rebirth Supergirl

Confirmed via IGN, the set is going to measure 15 inches across, 17 inches deep and 21 inches high and has LED light up features in the Bat Computer.

Also included is an exclusive 6" scale animated Alfred who of course come with a serving tray, tea pot and a duster. The Batcave doesn't seem to be on display at Toy Fair 2017 as it's quoted in the article as being revealed at San Diego 2017.

The US RRP is $175 which works out to £140 in the UK.

In a deluxe release we get this Superman vs Doomsday diorama pack

“The Batcave Vignette is a great example of how we’re constantly looking for new ways to capture the most iconic and authentic moments from the DC Universe and reimagine them in three-dimensional form,” stated DC Collectibles Executive Director, Creative, Jim Fletcher.

CW DC TV 6.75" figures The display for the 6.75" CW figures revealed two new additions in White Canary and Kid Flash.

“Now Batman: The Animated Series action figure collectors have an entirely new way to display and enhance their collections.”

The Walking Dead

It is now a year since McFarlane announced the return to 7" scale and their Color Tops plans. It seems that the items on display at Toy Fair reflect another step on for McFarlane.

First off is the packaging which is dropping the Color Top design and instead going for property focused packaging and branding.

This means that we no longer have the complex coloured waves, although the numbering system will continue.

There were a couple of new Walking Dead products on display at the McFarlane booth. The first is a 7" Color Tops version of Dwight, who was presented as a unpainted sample in his window box.

Color Tops Other Color Tops on display and in the release schedule for 2017 are Spawn Commando, One Punch Man, Naruto and Sakura.

Actually on display, and also mocked up in packaging, was a 2-pack of Negan and Glenn who will be in the 5" scale which at present is still exclusive in the US to Walgreens.

McFarlane also seem to have taken on board the criticism on articulation (or lack of) in their releases. The first figures have essentially been partially articulated statues but going forward the new 7" figures will move forward to 17 points of articulation including elbow and knee joints, torso pivots etc.

Labyrinth As expected, McFarlane are kicking off their Labyrinth licence with a 7" Color Tops figure of Jareth the Goblin King

Destiny

From Mass Effect we will get Sara and Scott Ryder.

The Destiny licence will span the 7" Color Top figures, a larger 10" figure range and some role play items.

And finally from Borderlands, we get Handsome Jack

Remote Control Batmobile (Justice League) DC 6″ Figures While we may have to wait until the end of 2017 to see the new Batmobile on the big screen in Justice League, Mattel have unveiled this fantastic 6" scale Remote Control version at Toy Fair.

This is not your run of the mill RC toy as it comes with a bunch of tricked out features.

It stands nearly 6 inches high, and is nearly 2 foot long. It comes with functioning lights and sound fx, with the engine sound getting louder the faster you drive it. There are Gatling guns on the front which swivel in the direction you steer. And there is a jump mode where the chassis lifts up to simulate the car taking off.

In the cockpit is a permanently fixed 6" scale Batman with his hands on the wheel, and the wheel and Batman actually steer as you pilot the Batmobile remotely. It even emits smoke from the exhaust as you drive.

There is a mini-camera in the cockpit which gives a first person perspective and can link into an associated smartphone app. From the app you can see the perspective from the cockpit as you drive. There are also added FX on the app where you can see the rockets and tracer fire on screen.

In the US this will all set you back $250, which for me is a great price considering that this is still cheaper than the Hasbro AT-ACT we got at Christmas which had a lot fewer features. Expect that to translate to around £220 here in the UK.

The Mattel offerings for 2017 are split between their popular Multiverse figures and the Justice League Action figures. JLA fans can look forward to seeing new figures of Batman, Flash, Superman as well as bad guys like the Joker.

Mattel’s Multiverse figures will be strongly represented in 2017 outside of the major movie release for Wonder Woman.

They are releasing a number of short and sharp 4 figure waves, with a pretty impressive Build-a-Figure in each one. We already knew about the King Shark wave. The Bat Mech suit and Clay Face wave’s were the new announcements.

After a number of teases, the full line up of Series 11 of NECA's Aliens series has been fully confirmed.

Rather than basing the series on a single movie, the wave encompasses a movie figure in the guise of Lambert in her Space suit. There is then a Kenner inspired blue warrior alien. And from the Defiance comic book, a Defiance Xenomorph.

The figures are due to hit in May 2017 and will retail at the usual $20 mark, UK customers might want to brace themselves as the continually rising prices since Brexit will likely mean these are at least £22 if not higher.

Following the announcement of the Rogue One DVD/Bluray release in April 2017 companies and retailers across the globe have been unveiling their exclusive covers, steel-books and variant content. The most impressive of these so far is in Japan where a deluxe Blu-ray box set will also come packed with an exclusive 1/12 SH Figuarts Deathtrooper Specialist.

The Specialist Deathtrooper builds on the standard release with the additional pauldron and gear as well as extra weaponry. As it stands, this will be the only avenue for SH Figaurts collectors to obtain the figure.

The pack is retailing at 14,040 yen - that is about £100, or $125. It is unclear if the Bluray itself would work in UK or US players.

Pre-orders for this are up at Tag Hobby

After Series 11 hits, NECA will put the range on a short hiatus while they concentrate on the Alien : Covenant figures. Aliens will return in Autumn 2017 with Series 12 and that will be Aliens Resurrection focused.

When the toys for last years Ghostbusters reboot were announced by Mattel, the UK was short-changed with its selection of the three "ghosts" in the 6" figures. The actual four main Ghostbusters characters were only to be released in the US. Series 11 of our bestselling Aliens action figures features three action figure debuts!

It includes the first-ever Lambert with an authorized likeness, as well as two new Alien figures: one from Dark Horse’s Aliens: Defiance comic book mini-series, and a classic Kenner Alien tribute that’s cast in translucent blue plastic just like the original.

Today, I found the four female lead figures in Toys R Us at £12.99 each - and having checked they also now appear online The set of four - Abby, Erin, Holtzmann and Patty - also come with a build-a-figure of the Rowan ghost.

Happy Hunting..

Joan Lambert, navigator of the USCSS Nostromo, stands approximately 7” tall and features the likeness of Veronica Cartwright. She comes with two heads, removable helmet and flashlight accessory.

Both Xenomorph action figures stand over 9” tall and feature over 30 points of articulation with bendable tails.

These figures are due to hit retail in May.
