In a move that will delight fans of both comic books and action figures, Btoys reports the launch of a new Masters of the Universe comic series titled “Masters of the Universe Genesis.” This expansion is a direct result of the recent film’s success and aims to delve deeper into the backstories of key characters.

This comic series could lead to new action figure designs and satisfy those who crave more world-building from the Masters of the Universe universe.
For fans of DC’s Gotham City, there’s a buzz around the latest Blokees action figures inspired by the “Batman: Hush” storyline. As reported by DC Collectors, the “Class 05 Batman” and “Class 06 Catwoman” figures capture the essence of one of the most celebrated arcs in the Batman franchise, based on work by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee. These figures represent Blokees’ continued commitment to expanding their stylized line of action figures, bringing nostalgic yet fresh takes on classic characters to collectors.
Meanwhile, the realm of custom designer toys sees some action as well, with UK artist MAp-MAp releasing a new set of customized Dunnys they’ve called “6 Senses Freed”. According to Spanky Stokes, these pieces, available from September 25th, showcase MAp-MAp’s distinctive hand-painted detail and intricate sculpting, likely to attract collector interest due to their unique artistic appeal.
Fools Paradise is also in the spotlight with their release of “Lepus Boy”, showcasing their signature whimsical and high-quality craftsmanship. Spanky Stokes highlights this as another whimsical entry from the company, promising to be an open-edition release that collectors should find accessible and charming.
Lastly, it seems that limited edition resin toys continue to capture collector interest as the COOKIEBALLS colorway of EL BALLS from ABIEBI quickly sold out, according to Toysrevil Toy News. This limited run of 20 pieces signifies the consistent demand for unique and small-batch collectible art toys.
