Hasbro expands The Vintage Collection with the Mandalorian Razor Crest Encounter 3-pack, catering to Star Wars enthusiasts.
The action figure scene sees a mix of consistent favorites and a few niche delights this week. Notably, Hasbro has opened pre-orders for its Vintage Collection’s latest endeavor: the Razor Crest Support Pack. This move marks a continuation of their 2020 Haslab initiative, which successfully captured the fervor of “The Mandalorian” fans with the Razor Crest ship itself. As reported by Jedi Temple Archives, the new 3-pack ties into the ongoing excitement for “The Mandalorian,” allowing collectors to further expand their Star Wars universe.
In a different vein, Halloween-themed collectibles maintain their seasonal allure. “31 Days of Toy Terror” features prominently with two notable inclusions: Hot Wheels’ Drift Rod from their Silver Series inspired by Universal Monsters’ The Wolf Man, and Plastic Meatball’s action figures from Halloween 4, including Michael Myers and his niece, Jamie Lloyd. Both pieces tap into nostalgia while leveraging iconography that resonates with collectors, as detailed by Action Figure Barbecue. The Wolf Man’s muscle car highlights the unique fusion between vintage horror and automotive collectibles, whereas the Halloween line continues to thrive on the retro resurgence of slasher favorites.
The celebration of female figures gets a nod from Mattel’s launch of Skeletal Lady Slither, part of their Masters of the Universe Origins. This brings a rare female villain to the forefront, as covered by She’s Fantastic, who notes the scarcity but rising popularity of strong female horror-themed figures. Skeletal Lady Slither offers a fresh appeal in the usually male-dominated realm of creepy collectibles.
Lastly, while less mainstream yet still intriguing, Super7’s ReAction+ O-Ring figures continue to generate interest through their SDCC exclusive releases. The G.I. Joe Glow Patrol’s new additions, including Cover Girl, resonate with long-time fans who appreciate the nostalgic glow-in-the-dark feature which recalls ’80s toy trends.
These varied releases demonstrate a robust landscape catering to collectors’ growing thirst for nostalgia, specialized themes, and iconic collaborations that continue to shape the action figure marketplace.
