A New Galaxy Of Adventures Await!
It pretty much goes without saying that Star Wars is one of the single most popular toy licenses of all time oh, but here we are saying anyway. This weekend we’re going to be celebrating Force Friday on October 4th 2019, which sees the release of an abundance of new Star Wars collectibles on the market ahead of the release of the most recent Star Wars film, ‘Rise Of The Skywalker’. If you’re planning on celebrating the holiday properly this weekend, be sure to check out some of the awesome items we have coming our way below!
First that we have Hasbro’s all new 5 inch scale line of basic figures that has been dubbed the ‘Galaxy of Adventures’ toy line! This line is heavily stylized and seems to be geared towards a younger crowd rather than collectors, although we can definitely see collectors wanting to track these down as well. They appear to be in a similar size and scale to the Disney Store exclusive Disney Toybox line, which also features a number of Star Wars characters, so these will probably fit right in with those. The series is comprised of a number of single figures, as well as a couple multipacks and even a deluxe vehicle set! Check out the release info from Hasbro below.

Starting today, fans of the classic ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ brand can begin placing their pre-orders for the first wave of Super7’s all new 7″ scale ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ultimate’ line!

It’s A Bird! It’s A Plane!
It’s Sideshow’s latest DC Comics Collectible, an all new 1:6th scale Superman figure! This figure is based on the last Kryptonian’s comic book appearance, rather than any specific design from a live action or animated adaptation, so it pulls a lot of its inspiration from the timeless classic character design fans have enjoyed over the years. Accessories include a Starro Alien, the Bottled City Of Kandor, and even some Kryptonite in a “lead” box! Sideshow’s beautiful new Superman 1:6 scale figure will set you back around $240 if you wanted to bring the Man Of Steel home. Check the full release info from Sideshow below!
DC Comics – Superman Sixth Scale Figure
“I’d rather good people trust me than bad people fear me.”
Sideshow presents the Superman Sixth Scale Figure, joining our league of DC Comics collectibles.
Based on his iconic comic book appearance, the Superman Sixth Scale Figure features a custom-tailored fabric costume consisting of his blue suit detailed with the symbol of the House of El, red trunks, a yellow belt, and a red cape with his yellow symbol on the back. His heroic portrait has a strong jawline and sculpted hair complete with his signature kiss curl.
The Superman Sixth Scale Figure has an articulated body, perfect for capturing your favorite Kryptonian action poses. Kal-El has sculpted red boots with articulated ankle joints as well as three pairs of hands including fists, flight hands, and posed gesture hands. Detailed accessories direct from the Fortress of Solitude, including the bottle city of Kandor, a Starro parasite for the figure’s portrait, and a box containing green Kryptonite, let you display the Man of Steel in a number of unique and dynamic ways.
