Every Comic-Con Hasbro always manages to wow us with the amazing new action figures that are going to bleed our wallets dry over the next few months, and this year is no exception. With major reveals from Star Wars‘ Black Series and Vintage Collection, Marvel Legends, and the Transformers team, here’s a rundown of some of the coolest figures shown at the con so far.
The first of two crossover mashup figures revealed at SDCC, this time Transformers joins forces in-house with another G.I. Joe crossover, turning the classic Triple T tank into a transforming ‘bot. As well as the Transformer itself, it also comes with 3.75″-scaled G.I. Joe figures of Sgt. Slaughter and Leatherneck.
The second, and perhaps far wilder crossover is a mashup of Knight Rider‘s KITT, giving the Pontiac Trans Am its very own robot mode.
This tiny 3.5″ scaled iteration of the belovedly whiny Decepticon subordinate transforms into his cybertronian jet mode in just 14 steps.
Based on Ratchet’s appearance in the beloved War for Cybertron video game series, this iteration of the Autobot medic turns into more of a Cybertronian sports roadster than his usual ambulance disguise.
Inspired by concept art from the spinoff film, Frenzy can be transformed into his cassette mode to be used with the Bumblebee Soundwave figure.
Inspired by the upcoming online shooter Transformers: Reactivate, this Bumblebee transforms into a Dune buggy and comes with twin blaster pistols.
One of our first looks at merchandise for the upcoming animated movie prequel comes in the form of Megatron in his final form, which can transform into his classic tank mode.
It’s hard to believe there’s been 15 years of this specific slice of Bayhem, but now you can honor it with this bumper collection including Optimus Prime, Jetfire, Chromia, Elita-1, and Arcee.
The latest addition to the Legacy United series pairs two members of the Mayhem Attack Squad in Rukus and Bludgeon.
Hasbro knows you’ve been waiting, and at long last, the official Deadpool & Wolverine figures–not to be confused with the previous movie Deadpool and Wolverine figures re-released to capitalise on the new movie–are here. Wade comes with his updated suit from the new film, and of course his weapons: two pistols, two katanas, and his trademark baby knife.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Deadpool & Wolverine without Wolverine, would it? Clad in his new-old suit, Logan has alternate hands with his claws retracted, and an alternate masked head.
Don’t blame me: this is the order of priority Hasbro put these two in! The Headpool/Logan set is indeed more of a Logan/Headpool set, giving us the drunken “civilian” luck of this down-and-out mutant from when we first meet him in the movie. There’s no alcohol-induced short claws here, you get the full version, retracted fists, and of course, a little stand to put Headpool on.
Previously teased earlier in the con during the Star Wars publishing panel, Vernestra Rwoh marks the first time a character created for the High Republic novel series is being turned into an action figure. No lightwhip though, Hasbro!?
Joining Vern in the 6″ line is everyone’s favorite Tynnan tracker, who comes with a Pip droid of his own to sniff.
The latest live-action Ahsoka figure is based on the robes she dons to head outside the galaxy from Peridea, after her fateful encounter with Anakin in the World Between Worlds.
When revealing this figure, Hasbro teased it as a look we haven’t seen yet for Cassian, which almost certainly seems to mean that it’s our first good look at Cassian as he’ll appear at some point in Andor season 2.
The ISB’s finest girlfailure comes with her own data pad and blaster, but alas, not her classy coat and hat from when she heads to Ferrix. Still, we can’t complain about more Andor figures.
A plastic testament to The Mandalorian‘s ever-unhinged approach to droid personhood, this deluxe figure comes with Grogu to pilot the former Assassin droid’s body around like a mech suit, and two of the Nevarro Anzellans.
Inspired by their brief appearance in season 3’s finale, Moff Gideon’s elite soldiers can now stand around and get got on your toy shelf, too.
Moving on to the 3.75″-scaled Vintage Collection reveals, we’re also getting the white-robed version of Ahsoka in smaller form.
She needs someone to glower at though, so Mads Mikkelsen’s live-action rendition of Thrawn is coming along with her.
Inspired by his armored-up look when we first met him in Mandalorian season 2, this version of Cobb Vanth also comes with effects pieces for his borrowed jetpack.
The latest gaming-themed figure is inspired by the early-Imperial designs seen in the Fallen Order and Survivor games.
Two deluxe sets were announced for the Vintage Collection: the first a creature feature in the form of a Blurrg and a specially-themed early version of Din Djarin, before he upgraded most of his armor by the end of season 1.
The second is a bit more lavish, in the form of a playset inspired by the Armorer’s Forge as it appeared in season 3. As well as the Forge itself, the playset comes with a cabinet holding a bunch of her tools, a smaller anvil, some beskar helmets, and of course, the Armorer herself–complete with a little Grogu with his own beskar chainmail shirt.
