With regards to toy reveals, for me personally it’s going to be powerful to match the excessive of what we noticed this 12 months. I can’t keep in mind the final time I used to be as stunned an pleased to listen to a determine introduced as I used to be when Jesse dropped the ROM reveal on us, however there was a ton of different cool stuff. I’m going to slim it down to 10, which is basically arduous as a result of there have been a minimum of ten NECA figures or G.I. Joe Categorized toys that might be on right here too.
#10. The Rattler
This factor is attractive, the weaponry, the sunshine up blast results and battle injury, and all the eye to element on this large pet is form of mind-blowing. Wild Weasel and the Pilot Baroness are unbelievable trying figures and I really like that we get a have a look at his face. The Baroness with a free bun seems to be so dang cool, method cooler than I’d assume. The one factor that retains it decrease on this listing for me is my uncertainty about the place I’ll show it and the primary tier of unlocks being patches. Don’t get me flawed, they’re good patches, however I don’t even know what I’d do with them. I initially stated that that is just like the cranium and cardboard backdrop tier on the Rancor HasLab, however a minimum of I’d have used these in a show and photograpy. Patches will go in a bin someplace by no means to be seen once more. I nearly would have most well-liked nothing. Decrease the worth by a pair bucks.
#9. Wong
Throughout my comics heyday of the early ’80s loads of tremendous hero books additionally centered story time on supporting characters like Robbie Robertson, Ned Leeds, Flash Thompson, Jarvis, Rick Jones, Valerie Cooper, Dai Thomas, Alistaire Stewart, and Aunt Might so I’ve loads of love for the extra regular people within the hero world. Wong is a kind of characters for me and builds out Dr. Unusual’s universe in Legends type splendidly. I additionally simply love how a lot Kung Fu and Magical equipment he’s acquired. Admittedly, I don’t want one other Unusual, however I’ll take it.
#8. Raptor
I really like the wackier facet to G.I. Joe, so I used to be excited to listen to Raptor when he was introduced as a G.I. Joe. As a child I used to be at all times into bird-themed characters like Condor-Man, Hawk from Buck Rogers, and naturally Hawkman, so I gravitated towards the classic determine and in my thoughts he might completely fly utilizing that feather-themed blanket. The Categorized determine takes all these components that had been a bit clunky within the classic and offers them a little bit of a cool makeover. The headdress is sleeker, the wings appear extra useful and have that barely futuristic really feel of loads of Joe tech. I even just like the pinstripe tattoos. I do want he had a chook in flight mode, however aside from that, I’m tremendous excited for this wackadoo in a chook costume.
#7 Van Helsing
I really like Common Monsters and Hammer Horror movies and the NECA figures are unbelievable. My one gripe is that they have no person to combat! I get that the common people are usually not as toyetic because the monsters and doubtless would promote horribly, however I desperately need figures of Dr. Frankenstein, Renfield, Van Helsing, and Julie Adams as Kay Lawrence in The Creature from the Black Lagoon. The Christopher Lee Dracula we noticed from NECA is so beautiful that I used to be ecstatic that they may make the Peter Cushing Van Helsing too. The likeness on this factor is insane and I particularly like that they included a tousled hair look as if he’s simply fought with Dracula.
#6 Crystal and Lockjaw
I’m a mark for traditional Kirby stuff, and the Inhumans are a few of the extra under-represented Kirby creations in Legends. Lockjaw is a longtime need, so attending to cross him off the listing is tremendous satisfying. I do along with his entrance legs had some swivel/hinge, however I do like that he comes with a very good boy face.
#5 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
I began with TMNT again within the Mirage days and have an appreciation of loads of completely different iterations of those characters, however 2012 holds a particular place in my coronary heart as a result of that is the present I watched with my youngsters. It was additionally an ideal synthesis of all of the comics, films and exhibits that had come earlier than. My youngsters had a ton of the toys too and loved them totally, however as a collector they by no means fairly hit the mark for me. I fantasized a few collector line of those characters that was super-articulated and in scale with eachother. Nicely, a few decade later, seems to be like I’ll get my want and I can’t wait. All we noticed was this slide with a sculpt of Mikey, but it surely’s very promising when it comes to displaying of articulation and the quantity of equipment and choices. These are going to be enjoyable.
#4 Street Pig
The Dreadnoks are my favourite faction in G.I. Joe, so I’m at all times tremendous excited for a brand new one. They went all out on Street Pig, paying homage to the basic determine, but additionally including loads of bizarre and enjoyable stuff just like the tattoos, masks, spikes, and skulls that matches in completely with the Dreadnoks’ Mad Max meets Glam Rock aesthetic. The pit bull Rawkus is a reasonably intelligent re-use of Junkyard and so they packed a ton of character into his portraits. He’s so excessive in an ideal method for the Dreadnoks.
#3 Jada Avenue Fighter Full Tremendous Avenue Fighter II Lineup
I collected the SOTA Avenue Fighter line and it at all times caught in my craw that I by no means acquired the whole Tremendous Avenue Fighter II line up. That was my recreation! I just about sucked, however I cherished attempting. Seeing the ultimate few warriors added to the road up was tremendous gratifying, however I additionally was in a position to play with Dee Jay, Cammy and Guile for a bit and they’re unbelievable determine. The ball jointed waist and torso has a few of the greatest vary of movement for that POA than any determine I’ve ever performed with and so they stability so superbly. Now we simply want to attend, which is the toughest half. Cammy, Guile, Dee Jay wave ought to begin hitting earlier than the tip of the 12 months after which the remainder are damaged down into three extra waves. They haven’t introduced how Akuma is coming, but it surely appears to me like we might be finished inside a few years with this entire line up.
#2 Scooby Doo
I’ve been watching and loving Scooby-Doo for so long as I can keep in mind, however I’ve by no means fairly bitten on the multitude of strains which have been launched resulting from scale or character selection desire. After all I really like the Scooby Gang, however a giant a part of the enchantment to me has at all times been the ghosts, so I’m glad Jada has settled on a launch sample of two ghosts and a major character wave design. My expertise with Jada figures to this point has been distinctive, so I’m trying ahead to seeing this beloved present get it’s motion determine due.
#1 Do I’ve to say it?
ROM! ROM! ROM! ROM! All we noticed was a digital render, however the mere incontrovertible fact that this man is getting a Legends launch in any respect was sufficient to make this the reveal of the present for me. Lengthy mired in authorized licensing rights weirdness, ROM is a kind of characters we by no means thought we might get in Legends. ROM was a kind of characters that visitor starred in loads of the books I learn as a child, and I cherished the Sal Buscema artwork on his guide. He additionally has one of many extra epic Marvel Handbook entries with a kind of diagrams that exhibits how he features and there’s additionally a Spaceknights entry that exhibits all of them off as nicely and offers a pleasant abstract of the guide. There are two Omnibus books of his adventures out proper now that I extremely suggest if you wish to study concerning the character. The sculpt output we noticed on the panel seems to be unbelievable and Dwight talked about they’re doing one thing particular for ROM’s distinctive vibrant eyes. I want I might have gotten an opportunity to grill him for extra particulars, however missed him.
In order that’s my high 10 reveals from SDCC 2024, what are yours? Let me know within the feedback or the boards!
