An Assortment of Non-DC Comics IMAGINEXT!

Imaginext - Toy Story, Minions, Power Rangers - Fisher-Price/Mattel 2019-2020

While the DC Super Friends Imaginext gets the lion's share of attention in the preschool aisles and toy forums, the figures from the other lines are nothing to turn your nose up at. I tend to let a bunch of Imaginext figures build up and photograph them in a group. In this post I have a few characters from Disney's Toy Story 4, Illumination's Minions: The Rise of Gru, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and two unbranded Fisher-Price lines... all released over the past few years. I'm always excited to see what surprises will come down the line. There are always new themes and blind bag series in the works and I think there's a very good chance of Masters of the Universe line in the near future (It's been hinted at by Mattel and they recently announced an MOTU Little People set). Plus I would love another Adventure People homage in the form of the X-Ray Woman. The X-Ray Man from a few years ago is lonely! Let's check out this recent collection of Imaginext ladies below!





Imaginext
Minions: The Rise of Gru
STUART & BELLE BOTTOM

Imaginext

BUZZ LIGHTYEAR & JESSIE
Fisher-Price 2019



















There have been three variations of this Jessie figure so far.
On the left is the original release from 2010 (her eyes and legs are painted different). The next two are brunette and redhead variations released with the Toy Story 4 assortments in 2019. The redhead version seems more accurate, but the brunette one has better color contrast in toy form. They both seem to be released in equal amounts.









Imaginext
Shark Adventure Theme
HAMMERHEAD SHARK & SNORKELER
Fisher-Price 2019













She comes with snorkeling gear and a Hammerhead Shark accessory.











Imaginext
Power Rangers
SCORPINA & KING SPHINX

Here are all the Imaginext Power Rangers ladies together: Yellow Ranger, Rita Repulsa v2, Scorpina, Rita Repulsa v1, and Pink Ranger.









Imaginext
Bling Bag Series 12
FEMALE BACKPACKER (ABBY ARCANE)
Fisher-Price 2019

















While this is not officially a DC Comics character, there is an uncanny resemblance to Abby (Abigail) Arcane from the Swamp Thing comics.

















Time for a Group Pic!




Cheers!

  1. Wow! Didn't realize they had so many Imaginext figures, especially Power Rangers. Very cool.

  2. I hope they get around to doing an X-Ray Woman, since they already did the update of Fisher Price Adventure People X-Ray Man.
