It’s a varied stretch for collectors, with noteworthy developments spanning fan-favorite brands and emerging designers. McFarlane Toys’ announcement of their Super Friends Wave 6 stands out as a highlight, while the Pop Toy Show Singapore showcases brought some intriguing new names and products to light.
McFarlane Toys Announces Super Friends Wave 6
McFarlane Toys has officially announced Wave 6 of its retro Super Friends line, featuring 6-inch figures such as The Atom, The Joker, and Apache Chief, with pre-orders opening on September 4, 2026. This announcement sheds light on further potential additions to the line, albeit with some uncertainty remaining around the rumored Red Platinum figures of Batman and Superman. These iterations, inspired by a ‘Warpland’ storyline from the 1983 “Lost Episodes” of Super Friends, suggest McFarlane is delving deep into beloved and niche memories for fans (dccollectors.com).
Emerging Talent at Pop Toy Show Singapore
The Pop Toy Show Singapore served as a platform for emerging creators in the collectibles space, albeit with some of the key pieces quickly disappearing from view. PFTOY STUDIO was one such presence, although it was left with limited products due to high demand. The studio’s creator, Fei PI, was not present, which led to a missed opportunity for direct insight into the creative processes behind their work (ToysREvil).
LALA COMPANY also made a mark at the same event. Creator Radio Woon introduced his second sofubi release, an intriguingly designed “Durian Zai” plush and print. Video walk-throughs and snapshots from the event provide a glimpse into the creative vibrancy and potential of these collectibles (ToysREvil).
Other Noteworthy Releases and Updates
In the realm of designer vinyl figures, Thailand-based Art 张精彩, operating under the moniker Nihonbashi19, unveiled a new interpretation of “Ojiko”. This release indicates an ongoing evolution of his creation, intriguing long-time followers with its significant design shift (ToysREvil).
Additionally, Funko’s latest Masters of the Universe Pop! Vinyl figure, Teela, adds a surprising twist to the beloved character’s design. These new details aim to capture both hardcore MOTU fans and broader pop culture collectors, merging nostalgic appeal with fresh stylistic elements (B Toys).
Lastly, 2BFND’s “Young Mayne” is set to appeal to collectors of resin toys with its strong streetball nostalgia and 90s flair. This figure blends attitude and craftsmanship, signaling 2BFND’s continued presence in the designer toy landscape (SpankyStokes).
