Play Arts Kai Variant Doctor Strange
Square Enix ’s Play Arts Kai Marvel toys are back , with a very elaborate Doctor Strange . Like the party ’ previous Marvel toys , this one disappointingly does n’t go too out there when it come to changing up Strange ’s classic comical book feel ( just once I ’d love something in this line as uncanny as theBahamut Batman ) , but it pee-pee up for it a turn with some really rad wizard accouterment , devote Strange everything from flicker spell bolts to glowing hands and runic letter , to even some excess bits of magical armour that would make a lot of sense for a combatant like Strange . Sadly , you ’ll have to look until November to get yourself one if the Sorcerer Supreme entices you — he’ll set you back a hefty $ 150 for the joy , too . [ Toyark ]
Star Wars R2-D2 Garbage Can
Like an aging Hollywood star ostracize by an industry look for the next enceinte thing , R2 - D2 seemingly ca n’t vie with thetoy - friendly design of BB-8 , and has patently had to accept other gigs he ’s probably not proud of . A few month ago he washappily brewing your morn coffee , but now , as a novelty scraps can , he ’s force to immerse your trash and other scraps . As garbage cans go this one is surprisingly elaborate , however , and you might think twice about what you toss in there after spending $ 160 on one . [ Toy People News ]
Transformers Masterpiece Movie Series Optimus Prime MPM-4 Figure
The original Michael Bay unrecorded - action Transformers picture come out in 2007 , pit 2017 as the 10 - yr anniversary of the film franchise . Many of us are still disappointed at how Optimus Prime was translate to the silver grey screen ( fire ? really ? ) but it ’s hard to argue that this new $ 100 Masterpiece Movie Series figure is n’t a deal to lay eyes on . Details let in separately enounce fingers , swappable masks , dice - cast metallic element parts , and a 43 - step translation process that ’s trusted to frustrate those who produce up with the original cartoon and toys .

Hot Toys Sixth-Scale Beauty and the Beast Belle
red-hot Toys’talented sculptors dead captured Harrison Ford ’s smirk in thetoymaker ’s late 6th - shell Han Solo figure . But they do n’t quite hit the bullseye with thisBelle figure from Disney ’s Beauty and the Beast alive - action remake . Is Emma Watson recognizable ? Mostly , yes , but the figure has an preternatural vale halo to it , like to the CG version of Carrie Fisher ’s Princess Leia at the end of Rogue One . But with 26 points of articulation , interchangeable mitt , and incredibly elaborate version of Lumière , Cogsworth , Mrs. Potts , Chip , and Plumette , there ’s still a lot to serve justify a collectable that will be you well north of $ 200 .
