San Diego Comedian-Con could be most identified to casuals for all of the celebrities that attend its film and tv panels, however it’s additionally some of the necessary weekends of the 12 months for toy collectors. That’s as a result of virtually all the main corporations have in depth set-ups and reveal a variety of what’s upcoming. This 12 months was no exception, and days later, I’m nonetheless fired up a few ton of upcoming toys we’re getting.
I couldn’t probably contact on all of the cool figures and spectacular units that obtained proven off, however I wish to give a little bit shine to some issues I’m significantly enthusiastic about. So, right here’s a fast roundup of my favourite toy reveals on the 2025 San Diego Comedian-Con.
The Upcoming Wave Of Walmart Unique WWE Superstars
There’s no wrestling determine line that’s extra irritating to gather than WWE Superstars. They’re unique to Wal-Mart and the distribution is patchy at finest. Some shops will inexplicably get ten packing containers of a single wave and by no means get within the subsequent one. It takes a variety of endurance and looking, however for my cash, there’s no determine line that shows higher than this one.
Every determine comes with equipment and material items, and since a lot of the characters are splashy, bigger than life wrestlers from the 80s and early 90s, the mixture is a very toyetic visible. I can’t get sufficient, and Mattel has (largely) proven a very good, intuitive sense of what characters followers need within the line.
That was confirmed as soon as once more with these newest reveals, significantly on the proper hand aspect of the above image with new additions Hacksaw Jim Duggan and the three members of Demolition: Ax, Smash and Crush. All 4 of those characters are ones followers have been clamoring for, and the ultimate merchandise have me much more excited. A couple of extra waves nonetheless must hit shops earlier than we get these, however hopefully they’ll be in retail by the tip of the 12 months. I do know I’ll be shopping for them.
LEGO’s Arkham Asylum Set
Considered one of our video editors right here at CinemaBlend, Gabe Kovacs, despatched me an image of the Arkham Asylum set because it was displayed on the Comedian-Con ground, and I finished working for like fifteen or twenty minutes. Who might probably concentrate on pulling knowledge after they simply came upon this exists? Nobody. Not a single superhero amongst us might.
The above set options 16 characters together with Batman, Harley Quinn, The Joker and even safety guards so that you’ll have unimportant individuals to kill off. It’s additionally a 24 day creation calendar and splits into three distinct ranges (a primary ground, second ground and roof) so you possibly can transfer characters round as simply as attainable.
LEGO is placing this up for preorder on September ninth for LEGO Insiders, and it’ll be accessible for everybody else on September twelfth. I’d order shortly as a result of even with the $299.99 worth level, it’ll in all probability be gone shortly.
Magic The Gathering’s Collaboration With Marvel Legends
Wizards Of The Coast has been working with Marvel since 2023, however I’m significantly enthusiastic about this upcoming collaboration with Marvel Legends and extra particularly, Spider-Man. On September twenty sixth, Magic The Gathering goes to be dropping a Spider-Man tie-in that options promo playing cards from Peter Parker’s universe. Characters together with Aunt Might, Doc Ock, Gwen Stacy and Venom can be getting their very own, and the samples look improbable.
I’m significantly drawn to the artwork work and the way a lot it pops throughout the conventional confines of a Magic The Gathering card. It’s a terrific visible look, and I feel this set goes to go over very well with each conventional MTG gamers and Spider-Man followers who wish to specific their fandom otherwise. You may pre-order it now on Amazon.
Avenue Fighter’s Collaboration With WWE
WWE is not any stranger to determine crossover traces. Final 12 months we obtained a set that includes the most well-liked superstars as TMNT characters. Earlier than that, we obtained a dynamite crossover with Masters Of The Universe. Now, it’s Avenue Fighter’s flip.
When you would have advised me earlier than Comedian-Con, I’d have been mildly on this collaboration, however after seeing the precise figures, I’m blown away. The Final Warrior as Blanka with orange chest hair has been the clear fan favourite, however each determine within the line appears actually good. The Rock as M Bison can also be a standout, as is the packaging, which is made to appear like a traditional arcade recreation.
