Medicom Toy opens pre-orders for highly anticipated MAFEX Daredevil, Punisher, and The Flash figures, expanding their diverse line of collectibles.
This week in action figures sees some noteworthy developments, albeit with a slight lull in overall groundbreaking news. Collectors can look forward to a varied array of releases, spanning everything from nostalgic horror icons to superhero mainstays.
MAFEX Expands Their Line-up
Medicom Toy continues to bolster its impressive MAFEX line with upcoming figures that should have collectors eager to open their wallets. Pre-orders are now live for anticipated figures of Daredevil and The Punisher, both inspired by the acclaimed “Daredevil: Born Again” storyline, as well as a unique version of The Flash sporting the Batman suit from “The Flash” movie. Each figure stands at 6″ scale and is packed with interchangeable parts to enhance posing options. This release underscores Medicom’s commitment to delivering intricate figures that appeal to both the superhero fan base and dedicated action figure collectors. You can find more information at The Toyark.
Horror Icons and Nostalgia
Continuing in the vein of pop culture icons, Mezco has opened pre-orders for their One:12 Collective Michael Myers figure from Rob Zombie’s Halloween. This detailed figure comes with both masked and unmasked portraits alongside a range of iconic accessories, including knives and a jack-o-lantern, perfect for horror fans looking to add a touch of terror to their collection. More details can be found through The Toyark.
In a trip down memory lane, Super7 has released the Nightmare Turtles, part of their Ultimates line from the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series. This set references the “Hunted” episode, bringing an edge of darkness to the beloved franchise. Those interested in reliving the early 2000s TMNT nostalgia can find them detailed further at The Toyark.
Masters of the Universe and Retro TV
Maintaining a Halloween theme, Masters of the Universe Origins has introduced Tauraton, a new character from the “Powers of Grayskull” subset. Designed by Axel Gimenez and Roy Juarez, and inspired by Ray Harryhausen’s “The Minoton,” Tauraton blends myth with MOTU nostalgia. Available exclusively through Mattel Creations, this figure underscores the continued expansion of the Masters of the Universe line into lesser-known or entirely new characters.

On a more classic TV front, Super7’s ReAction line revisits “The Munsters” with a figure of Marilyn Munster. While an older release, its scarcity has kept it in the spotlight, as collectors debate the merits of black-and-white versus color renditions of this character.

The trickle of news this week offers a nod to both the old and new, illustrating a continued trend of revisiting nostalgic properties while expanding contemporary lines for collectors.
