Toy News Tuesday: Going Buck Wild

We interrupt your regularly scheduled day with an all new Toy News Tuesday! We’re the one weekly column right here on ScienceFiction.com where we seek out all of the awesome news you need to know about any announcements and cool happenings in the toy industry and put them all in one easy to find place for you! Spring is in full swing and as always there are lots of cool new items heading our way from some of our favorite companies! Besides the fantastic new items hitting stores this season, we’re already getting plenty of previews for items hitting later this summer and fall! As per usual for us, we have got a little something for everybody in the Toy News for the week of April 25th, 2017!

Bring These Legends On Home To Me

We’re less than two weeks from the release of one of this year’s most anticipated films, ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2’, and the toys are hitting the market fast and heavy to keep up with all of the fan demand! We first heard about these a few months ago, but now Hasbro has released new images of their upcoming second wave of ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ themed Marvel Legends 6″ scale figures! The first wave was a healthy mix of figures from both the movie and the comics, and the second wave seems to be following suit with a nice blend of fan favorites from both again! From the movie ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2’ we’re getting new versions of Starlord, Gamora, and a fully articulated Rocket Raccoon! We’re also finally getting a figure of Nebula! To throw some icing on the proverbial cake, this wave’s build-a-figure is set to be the newest member of the Guardians, Mantis! In addition to the movie figures, this wave still has comic book versions of Adam Warlock, Ex Nihilo, and Deaths Head II! These are set to hit stores later this summer!

Larger Than Life

If you’re a hardcore ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ fan, then you’re going to have to figure out a way to afford this next one! The team at Hot Toys is notorious for releasing some of the highest quality collectibles on the market. While they’re primarily in the 1:6th scale figure market, every so often they dabble in other lines to bring collectors something truly unique, and this next piece is certainly up that alley. This week Hot Toys revealed plans for an all new 1:1 scale life-sized Baby Groot figure is coming our way! This new full scale Baby Groot figure is fully articulated, stands just over 10″ tall (26CM to be precise!) and includes several alternative facial expressions so you’re able to change him up to suit your needs! Speaking of suiting your needs, Baby Groot also includes his very own tiny removable Ravager Suit! The only bad news is that you’re going to have to wait until around this time next year for this figure to join your collection! Check out the full release from Hot Toys for their new Life Sized Baby Groot below:

GOTG Vol. 2 – Groot Life-Size Collectible Figure
“I am Groot!” Since the debut of promotional materials from Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated blockbuster, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, fans were instantly thrilled and captivated by the return of Groot, who has now grown a bit since we last saw him at the end of the first movie! Attendees of the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 world premiere all expressed their huge love for Groot after seeing the movie. Today Hot Toys is extremely excited to introduce the Groot life-size collectible figure which is destined to be one of the most adorable Hot Toys life-size figures you’ll ever see!
The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Groot life-size collectible figure stands approximately 26cm tall, featuring 3 interchangeable faces, newly developed body and expert paint applications to reflect Baby Groot’s unique appearance, a Ravagers outfit that be worn on the figure, and 2 pairs of interchangeable hands including a pair of extended attacking hands with embedded wires allowing a variety of poses! Don’t be afraid to push the button and bring this charming and lovable Groot life-size collectible figure home to your collection!

Start Your Hall Of Armor

Since we’re on the subject of super cool life sized replicas, the team at Sideshow Toys has a nice new one for the collector with a load of space and disposable income! This week Sideshow Toys revealed their new 1:1 scale life sized Iron Man figure! This piece is essentially a life sized statue of the classic Mark III Iron Man armor as seen in the first live action ‘Iron Man’ film, and wow does it look great!

The downside is, you can’t wear the suit, as it is effectively a large figurine. The bright side is, that it’s literally bright! This Iron Man figure features light up eyes, palm repulsers, and even an arc reactor! It’s unique display base also lights up to illuminate this figure perfectly in any lighting. This almost 7-foot-tall piece is sure to be the lead topic of conversation once you’ve got it on display in your home or office! he’s up for pre-order now, although he’s going to cost you around $7950.00 to bring home! Check out the full release from Sideshow below:

“Iron Man. That’s kind of catchy. It’s got a nice ring to it. I mean it’s not technically accurate. The suit’s a gold titanium alloy, but it’s kind of provocative, the imagery anyway…”
The crowning jewel of any Hall of Armor, and perhaps the ultimate piece of Iron Man memorabilia – Sideshow’s brand new, limited edition Iron Man Mark III Life-Size Figure is quite simply a wonder to behold!
Subtly lit from below by its light-up base, the Mk III stands well over 6 feet tall, making for a strikingly impressive and attention grabbing high-end display piece.
With brightly illuminated eyes, arc reactor and palm repulsors, Iron Man’s iconic armor is brought to life, adding a whole new dimension to any Marvel collection.
Inspired by the suit created in the first Iron Man movie, this is arguably the most “classic” of Iron Man’s many armored outfits. The Mk III was also the first rendition of the super-suit to feature Tony’s red and gold hot rod color scheme.
This finely crafted museum quality collectible raises the bar for screen accuracy and realism, with expertly reproduced layered armored panels, subtle weathering, and many fine details to amaze movie fans and hardcore collectors alike.
Here at Sideshow, we are honored to bring you the ultimate luxury Iron Man art for any home theater, Marvel collection, gallery or cinematic display.

Bucky’s Back!

One of the coolest parts of being a collector in this day and age is that we live in a time where most people have internet access, and that means that somewhere out there you can find and connect to other people who are also super into that obscure thing you love that most people seem to have forgotten about! It’s especially true when it comes to toys, as these fan-powered communities are able to come together to bring back long since dead toylines and licenses. Last week we talked about brand new Sectaurs figures, and this week we’re delving into the deep obscurity of the early 90’s as the team at Boss Fight Studios has just revealed the first fully painted images of the first figures in their revival of the ‘Bucky O’Hare’ toyline!

This new ‘Bucky O’Hare’ line is being presented in 4″ scale with beautifully sculpted details and fully articulated figures! This is the first time anyone has tackled this license since the original line ended abruptly in the early 90’s! Check out the full release from Boss Fight Studios below, along with a first look at their new figures of Bucky O’Hare and Jenny!

Boss Fight Studio, in conjunction with Neal Adams’ Continuity Studio is proud to debut the first, full look at the brand-new Bucky O’Hare and Jenny action figures!
The brave adventures from S.P.A.C.E, as created by Larry Hama, Michael Golden and Cory Adams are faithfully represented for the first time as fully articulated action figure collectibles.
Boss Fight Studio is very excited to bring Bucky fans the never-before released Jenny figure! If you’ve been waiting since the 90’s to complete your Bucky collection, now is your chance! Best yet, these long-awaited figures come to you with character customization features; each includes interchangeable expressions and hands. As no hero is complete without signature accessories; Bucky will include his trusty blaster pistols and Jenny will come to you with special magic effects pieces.
Boss Fight isn’t stopping there! We already have plans underway for additional variants of Bucky and Jenny, as well as bringing you more of the Bucky O’Hare cast of characters!
Mark your calendars, BOSS FIGHT WILL LAUNCH Wave 1 PRE-ORDERS ON JUNE 1, 2017!
These first two figures in the new Bucky O’Hare collection are expected to ship to you late Fall 2017.

The Funko Forecast

Get ready for the Funko Forecast! This is where we’re going to be showcasing all of the cool new announcements and reveals from Funko! With all of the awesome that consistently seems to be flowing out of those guys, it shouldn’t be hard to keep this section alive each and every week!

Game On!

The team at Funko is delving back into the world of video games with a number of new gaming themed products including POP! Vinyls and Pint Sized Heroes! This June, classic gaming fans will be able to collect a new series of ‘Megaman’ themed Pint Sized Heroes figures that includes many of your favorite characters like Dr. Wily, Rush, Cutman, Gutsman, Megaman himself, and many more!

If you’re more into POP! Vinyls, you can look forward to new waves based on ‘The Elder Scrolls’ and ‘Borderlands’ this June! From ‘The Elder Scrolls Online’ we’re getting Naryu, Vivec, and Warden; while ‘Borderlands’ fans fan look forward to Tiny Tina, Lilith, Emperor Claptrap, and Zero! These are all set to hit stores in later this spring, so be ready to get your game on!

Spoilers!

Needless to say this next item is chock full of spoilers if you’re a little late to the game on AMC’s hit zombie drama ‘The Walking Dead’! The team at Funko have put together a special new wave of their blindboxed Mystery Minis ‘In Memoriam’ to characters from that show that have been killed off over the last few seasons! It’s a way to still bring people some of their favorite characters that they’ve missed out on making before, or to bring back characters that people are missing pretty hard already! We won’t name any of the characters included in this wave to avoid spoiling the show, but you can probably get a good idea of who to expect from the image below.

Funko Retailer Exclusives

Once again Funko has revealed a few new POP! Vinyls that are scheduled to release in the near future as retailer exclusives! We try to keep track of these as they’re announced so that it’s easier for you to know where to look for all of your favorite characters!
