A new wave of Epic H.A.C.K.S. figures and a Mega Man 11 figure offer fresh merchandise for collectors.
Today’s action figures news delivers modest excitement for collectors, primarily driven by Boss Fight Studio’s new wave of Epic H.A.C.K.S. figures and Hiya Toys’ fresh Mega Man 11 figure, both of which promise to add diversity to any collection. Meanwhile, Disney’s Droid Factory releases a new R2-D2 variant, but with fewer substantial new releases than usual, the landscape this week looks relatively quiet.
Epic H.A.C.K.S. Unveils New Figures
Boss Fight Studio continues to expand its Epic H.A.C.K.S. series with a new set of 1/12 scale figures going up for pre-order today. As noted by Toyark, the collection includes four figures, available for pre-order starting at 2:00 PM EST on the Boss Fight Studio Shop. This release reflects an ongoing trend of nostalgia-driven product lines, catering to collectors who appreciate detailed and articulated action figures. The specifics on these characters remain vague from the reports, but given the brand’s history, buyers can expect high levels of customization and intricate designs.
Mega Man 11 Joins Hiya Toys Line
For fans of video game icons, Hiya Toys has launched a highly detailed Mega Man 11 figure. According to details shared by Toyark, this 4.7” figure captures the look from Mega Man’s latest video game installment. It offers collectors a removable helmet and a swap out hair piece, enabling displays that reflect both his helmeted and unmasked forms. This entry stands out in its effort to capture the classic yet modern evolution of the character.
Disney Store’s New Droid Factory R2-D2
Jedi Temple Archives reports that Disney Store brings a fresh addition to its Droid Factory line with the R2-D2 (D-Squad) Build A Droid figure, now open for pre-order. While a new R2-D2 variant might be par for the course in terms of Star Wars collectibles, this release continues to bolster Disney’s intricate and customizable Build A Droid series, a staple for Star Wars completists looking to add unique droids to their collections. However, specific details beyond availability, as shared by Jedi Temple Archives, remain sparse.
Digital Amy Rose from Sonic Line Arrives
The She’s Fantastic blog offers an interesting look at the newly available Digital Amy Rose 2.5” figure from Jakks Pacific’s Sonic the Hedgehog line. Revealed during a San Diego Comic-Con slideshow a few weeks ago, this 8-bit version of Amy Rose, showcasing a pixelated aesthetic, nods to retro gaming enthusiasts. She’s among a series of figures that echo the digital graphics of early video games, though has yet to rival the more prolific male figures like Sonic, Mario, and Donkey Kong in numbers.
Other Action Figure Releases
The Chosen Prime’s recent newsletter, covered by Toyark, hints at upcoming releases across various lines, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Marvel, and Transformers. However, the newsletter offers a broader overview rather than breaking specific news, suggesting that noteworthy releases in these lines may still be on the horizon.
Overall, while there are key offerings for targeted niches within the action figures community, this week stands as a quieter period without headline-grabbing blockbuster releases or announcements.
