McFarlane Toys announces its final wave for the DC Super Powers line, while reissues and exclusives dominate action figure news.
The past few days have seen significant announcements in the action figures world, significantly marked by McFarlane Toys concluding its DC Super Powers line. Revealed by Toyark, this final wave comprises six 4.5-inch figures. These are now available for pre-order exclusively through Entertainment Earth starting September 3, offering long-time collectors one last chance to complete their collections. The end of the line is significant as it caps off McFarlane’s journey in this format, inviting speculation on what might come next for DC figures under this brand.
Reissues Keeping Collectors Busy
Reissues are the theme of the moment, with several noteworthy figures returning to the spotlight. HissTank.com reports that the G.I. Joe Classified Nemesis Immortal figure is being reissued, offering fans another opportunity to snag this Cobra-La member for $51.99 through popular Fan Channel retailers. The figure becomes available in November, giving those who missed out originally a chance to complete their set.
Moreover, Mezco’s One:12 Collective Art The Clown from the horror film “Terrifier” is also making a return. This deluxe edition includes multiple portraits, hands, and accessories, with shipments starting this month. The timing of these reissues, likely not coincidental, seems aimed at capitalizing on both nostalgia and currently trending titles as methodically designed collector strategies.
Exclusives and Pre-orders Galore
Pre-orders continue fueling the market with several upcoming releases. For instance, The Black Series’ Halloween Edition figures are now open for pre-order at multiple outlets including Entertainment Earth and Walmart. This thematic release includes seasonally spooky designs such as Togruta, Mon Calamari, and Tusken Raider, adding a fun, festive angle to the Star Wars universe.
On a different note, pre-orders for the CHOGOKIN Voltron: Defender of the Universe are now open. This reimagining of the classic 1980s robot is geared more towards adult collectors with its non-transforming design but includes the appealing shootable features for a nostalgic nod. While it won’t morph like its original counterpart, the retro excitement it delivers is expected to resonate with older fans.
Dragon Ball Evolutions
For Dragon Ball Z enthusiasts, the line-up grows with two new S.H. Figuarts unveilings—Vegeta and Trunks—reported by Toyark. Boasting multiple interchangeable faces, these figures are set to deepen fans’ engagement with Tamashii Nations’ renowned high-accuracy molding and detailing.
As the season gears up for holiday releases and exclusive pre-orders, collectibles are generally seeing strategic expansions and reimaginings. Be ready to act swiftly, as these limited waves and reissues tend to disappear quickly from virtual shelves.
