McFarlane Toys Pulls Out All the Stops at NYCC 2026
New York Comic Con remains a key event for collectible enthusiasts, and this year, McFarlane Toys did not disappoint. As reported by DCCollectors, Todd McFarlane introduced a slew of new products during the panel event, which is always a crowd favourite. While concrete release dates weren’t specified, the reveal of the Star Sapphire, Mary Shazam (Mary Marvel), and Val Zod among others, will undoubtedly build anticipation among collectors who follow McFarlane’s dynamic and detailed take on comic characters.
DC Absolute Universe Funko POPs Arrival
Another highlight from the week comes from the merging of two strong forces in collectibles—DC and Funko. As detailed by DCCollectors, the new DC Absolute Universe Funko POPs aim to provide a fresh take on the classic characters. This comes as part of DC’s wider Absolute Universe initiative, radically reimagining their famed trinity and beyond. It introduces a grittier, more grounded aesthetic that will redefine many shelves. Whether these changes will resonate with the traditionalist collectors remains to be seen, but the novelty certainly sparks curiosity.
Art Figures Elevating Collectibles
In the realm of art and designer toys, the attention shifts to some unique releases. In Mujuworld, a new Kickstarter campaign has been launched for the Stumpkin Nightlight, as covered by Spanky Stokes. This whimsical piece combines art and utility, featuring a glowing pumpkin head that fits well within the lauded Mujuworld collection.
Meanwhile, Fools Paradise adds flair to their line with the Pumpkin Miku FLOWER edition, a striking figure that blends vibrant colors with a distinctive expression, detailed by Spanky Stokes. Similarly, VANDUL’s HOSTAGE #2 Black and AI SLOP V3 offer collectors bold new options, enticingly priced and packaged for those who seek a more avant-garde touch in their collections (Spanky Stokes).
