A quiet week in collectibles sees unique cryptid-inspired releases and nostalgic nods at NYCC 2026.
In a slow week for collectibles, a few unique releases stand out, most notably the newest offerings from Doktor A. Other stories include thematic entries in existing series, and nostalgic exclusives for the New York Comic Con.
Doktor A’s New Realm of Cryptids
The highlight in this week’s collectibles world is the launch of the Copper Creeps Cryptids Wave 1, reported by SpankyStokes. Doktor A continues to expand his distinctive retro-futuristic universe with figures inspired by legendary cryptids. The first wave features the Flatwoods Monster and the Pascagoula Entity, drawing from rich folklore and reimagining these figures as mechanized beings, perfect for fans of both cryptids and unique designer vinyl art. This series could appeal to those interested in the convergence of urban legend and artful toy design.
