New Funko Pops explore Masters of the Universe's 2026 film, while Blokees taps into the iconic Batman: Hush storyline.
This week’s Collectibles landscape is marked by two intriguing developments: Funko expands its Masters of the Universe line with figures from the 2026 film, and Blokees taps into the beloved Batman: Hush storyline for new releases.
Masters of the Universe: Funko Pop Expansions
Funko continues to capitalize on the nostalgia and lasting popularity of the Masters of the Universe (MOTU) by adding new figures inspired by the 2026 film adaptation. According to a report from B Toys, the He-Man figure from the latest MOTU movie now comes as a Funko Pop— a continuation of a line that has become much more than a niche interest. The article reflects a collector’s paradoxical disdain for Funko’s ubiquity alongside an appreciation for this particular MOTU adaptation. Meanwhile, another piece from B Toys highlights the new Teela figure, which features detailing that deviates from the character’s expected design, spurring mixed reactions from fans. Despite these opinions, Funko remains a staple for MOTU fans, filling out collections with significant film-related releases.
Blokees Breathes New Life into Batman: Hush
Blokees has announced new figures under its DC Champion Class series, drawing directly from the iconic “Batman: Hush” storyline. According to DC Collectors, the latest releases—”Class 05 Batman” and “Class 06 Catwoman”—take inspiration from the celebrated style of Jim Lee’s artwork. This storyline is renowned for its intricate illustrations and significant character arcs, making these new Blokees figures highly anticipated among DC enthusiasts. The detailed sculpts appear to honor the comic’s legacy while offering a fresh addition to current collections.
Other Noteworthy Mentions
Elsewhere in the collectibles scene, the indie toy community sees movement with the launch of “THE COLONY” by Montreal-based artist GUERS, as covered by ToysREvil. This line debuts with a focus on a single character, a beaver mascot, allowing for iterative and detailed storytelling through subsequent releases. Such projects emphasize a personal touch and dedication to building a focused narrative world, offering an alternative to larger, more commercial lines.
Additionally, ToysREvil provided a reflection on the hobby with “MY 1/6 TOYLIFE”, exploring a personal journey through the world of 1/6 scale figures. Such introspection is a reminder of the vibrant history and evolution of toy collecting, particularly within niche communities that value narrative and personal connections over broad appeal.
This week underscores a blend of film adaptations, classic comic references, and personal artistic endeavors within the collectibles sphere, affirming the diverse nature of the community and its remarkable range of offerings.
