Hot Toys unveils Wolverine and Spider-Man figures, while Megaguirus roars into collections with Hiya Toys' latest offering.
This week sees the continuation of some familiar trends in the action figures world, with noteworthy releases for Marvel fans and Kaiju enthusiasts alike. Hot Toys is in the spotlight with two major releases: Wolverine from the upcoming PlayStation 5 video game and a newly updated Spider-Man figure from Spider-Man: No Way Home. Meanwhile, Hiya Toys adds to the Godzilla mythos with their new Megaguirus figure, a delight for Kaiju fans.
Hot Toys’ New Marvel Figures
Hot Toys is tapping into the Marvel video game universe with their latest Wolverine figure. This release coincides with the anticipation of the PlayStation 5 title featuring the beloved X-Men character. Wolverine features seamless articulated arms, multiple interchangeable hands, and can now be pre-ordered via Sideshow Collectibles. This reflects the broader trend of video game tie-ins in the action figure market, particularly as high-profile games continually attract strong fan bases.
Alongside Wolverine, Hot Toys has also unveiled a Spider-Man figure featuring the character’s “Final Swing Suit” from Spider-Man: No Way Home. The 1/6 scale figure includes updated physique and a masked portrait, catering to collectors who are eager for the most movie-accurate Spidey depictions. With Marvel’s film universe being a perennial favorite among collectors, this deluxe version is expected to be a popular addition.
Kaiju Collectors Rejoice with Hiya Toys’ Megaguirus
Kaiju fans seeking to expand their monstrous collections will be interested in Hiya Toys’ new Megaguirus figure from Godzilla vs. Megaguirus. Standing at nearly 10 inches with articulated wings and limbs, this figure promises a dynamic display potential. It does come with a price tag of $107.99, positioning it as a premium collector’s item in the Kaiju segment. Given the enduring appeal of Godzilla and related titles, Hiya’s attention to detail is likely to attract collectors eager for high-quality representations of their favorite monsters.
Other Notable Releases
In a nod to nostalgia, Jakks Pacific has released a Classic Amy Rose figure in an 8-bit digital deco style, part of their ongoing Sonic the Hedgehog series. As only the second female character to receive the 8-bit treatment from Jakks, this release adds a playful, retro flair to the collection.
Finally, the C.O.P.S. ‘N Crooks line is revived with Big Bad Workshop and Fresh Monkey Fiction’s first 1/12th scale figure: Bulletproof. This release caters to a niche but dedicated fan base that has remained loyal to the ’80s toy line, representing a fresh take for collectors longing for a revival or integration of these classic characters.
