DC Comics - POWER GIRL!

DC Multiverse Collector's Edition - Power Girl - McFarlane Toys 2025

It took me a long time to get on board with Power Girl. For most of my youth I viewed her as a pretty lame character. I didn't like her costume, her backstory, and I felt she was portrayed as a cheesecake character and a vehicle for boob jokes. And honestly, if you look at her portrayal throughout the late 80s and 90s, she didn't have a lot of depth. But in the early 2000s, she became a major character in JSA and Infinite Crisis, eventually getting her own ongoing title. This is when I got hooked. And the best part about my shift is that nothing really changed with the character. Her costume was identical and boob jokes were plentiful, but I credit the team of Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti with giving her a fresh, funny, memorable book. They also performed their magic with Harley Quinn, Terra, and Starfire - they're my favorite creative team for solo heroine titles. And now I'm a fan of Karen Starr no matter who is at the helm. I'm really impressed at how nice this figure is. Let's check her out below!

McFarlane Digital - BATGIRL!

McFarlane Digital Series - DC Comics Batgirl - DC Direct/McFarlane 2025

I've heard a lot of collectors griping about this new Batgirl Digital release, but I'll be the first to say that I am a fan. I understand the arguments. Sure, it's a simple redeco of a figure we've seen three times already. And, yes, there have been improvements in the McFarlane line in the five years since she was first released. The fanbase especially seems to love the newer wired capes. But the dynamically-sculpted short cape on this figure really appeals to me so I'm happy to see it again. I'm especially happy when a Batgirl figure is produced in the trifecta of Barbara Gordon colors: Gray, Black, and Purple. It isn't rare for this to happen (Batgirls from McFarlane Batman '66, Spinmaster 4", and Imaginext all come to mind), but I love all three color outfits so it's very satisfying to complete the trio with a sculpt I like so much. This final year of McFarlane DC product is off to a very interesting start and I can't wait to see what's next. The multiple Poison Ivy rumors are especially intriguing. Let's check out Batgirl below!

Super7 Reaction+ O-Ring - ARCTIC SCARLETT!

G.I.Joe RAH ReAction+ O-Ring Action Figures Wave 6 - Scarlett - Super7 2025

In the second episode of G.I.Joe, The M.A.S.S. Device Part II, Slave of the Cobra Master (September 1983). Scarlett, Snake-Eyes, and Snowjob (and others) head deep into the Arctic to seek a red radioactive crystal (one of the three elements needed for the M.A.S.S. Device). The scene is relative brief, but memorable - especially because it is so early in the vast G.I.Joe canon. Super7 seems to love G.I.Joe The Movie and The M.A.S.S. Device. The number of ReAction figures they've made based on these two storylines is pretty amazing. A figure of Scarlett in an arctic parka was not on my bingo card at all, and if pressed I could come up with a handful of never-before-made characters I would have taken in place of her, but now that she's in my collection I'm pretty happy to have her. The exciting is that their character choices are getting so obscure that I have no idea what might be coming next. (I'm always hoping for Oktober Guard and more Cobra-La though!) Let's check out Arctic Scarlett below!

Super7 Reaction+ O-Ring - MARA!

G.I.Joe RAH ReAction+ O-Ring Action Figures Wave 6 - Mara - Super7 2025

Sometimes my childhood memories don't hold up to my adult scrutiny. As a kid, my absolute favorite episode of G.I.Joe was "Memories of Mara" (S1E45, Nov 15th, 1985).  The story featured Shipwreck rescuing a blue-skinned woman from the ocean. You're led to believe her hue is due to cyanosis, but during CPR attempts, he realizes she has gills on her neck and climbs back into the water with her to continue his revival attempts. Turns out Mara was an escaped Cobra Eel lab test subject. She was supposed to be amphibious, but accidentally turned out completely aquatic and unable to breathe on land. As a kid I found this concept mind-blowing and one of the first mer-people I ever saw represented in my cartoons. As an adult, it's a pretty odd 22-minute story with some major logic holes. But even still the nostalgia is palpable with this new figure. Despite me begging for her on forums for years ("Please! Such an easy re-use of parts!"), I never expected to actually get her. Let's check out Mara below!

Transformers - ELITA-1, ARCEE, & BLACKARCHNIA!

Transformers Tiny Turbo Changers (2026 Edition) Blind Bags - Hasbro 2026

I'm a sucker for little Transformers collectibles, especially if there is a diverse character lineup. Some past favorite lines include Kre-O, Tiny Titans, and Tacticons. I was pretty obsessed with all of them. Between 2017 and 2020 there was a fun (but frustrating) line called Tiny Turbo Changers. The stood out because they actually transformed, they were inexpensive, and prolific.. I believe they released 100 different figures. The reason the line was frustrating was because of distribution. Most of the waves I really wanted were only released in Canada. Luckily I have friends up North who could hook me up. Flash forward to 2026 and the last thing I expected was for the Tiny Turbo Changers to be rebooted. I think all 15 new figures are repaints of the old ones, but luckily the three females have pretty distinct deco changes so I was excited to pick them all up. I even appreciate the weird attempt to differentiate between Arcee and Elita-1 with the same mold. Let's check out the Tiny Turbo Changers ladies below!

DC x Sonic - ROUGE as CATWOMAN!

DC x Sonic - Mystery Heroes 2 - Rouge as Catwoman - Jakks Pacific 2026

Back in November, I came across some leaked images of a powerpoint presentation revealing details of the next few waves of DC x Sonic products. If these images were genuine, I was very excited. For a line that could have been a quick one-and-done release with the main characters all getting their second to shine, I was impressed by the offbeat choices and ambitious production schedule in these images. But those same reasons are why I suspected it was fake. I shared it on Instagram out of curiosity with a grain-of-salt caveat. Then to my surprise, I got a DM from Jakks asking me to remove the post. I complied of course and then got really excited at the prospect that the plans I saw were real. Now within six weeks of that ordeal I have in-hand proof. Wave 2 of the Mystery Heroes blind bag featuring Rouge the Bat as Catwoman. This is a very cool little toy that I'm very excited to add to my collection. I hope this line maintains the same momentum that Prime did. Let's check out Rouge below!

DC Monsterverse - WONDER WOMAN!

DC Monsterverse - Wonder Woman vs Godzilla (Mini Figure) - McFarlane 2025

I have a real obsession with tiny action figures. In my youth, they were everywhere: M.A.S.K., Dino-Riders, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Starcom, Air Raiders, etc. They were super popular and enabled an entirely different type of play. Predictably, female characters in this scale are pretty scarce. So whenever one pops up modern times, I snap it up pretty quickly. I've been very happy with the Wonder Woman MonsterVerse set overall, but the true selling point for me was the mini pack-in figure that I'm sure most collectors overlook. She's essentially a scaled-down version of the Multiverse figure in the set with hardly any articulation, but adding another tiny figure to my collection was the incentive I needed to splurge on this ($79.99 MSRP!). I just realized in creating this post that these mini figures likely share the same construction as the Page Punchers 2-Packs. I have the two ladies form that line unopened and now I'm curious to compare. Let's check out Wonder Woman below!

Sons of Anarchy - GEMMA!

Sons of Anarchy - 6" Action Figures - Gemma Teller-Morrow - Mezco Toys 2014

My post of Leela (as Clobberella) from Futurama last month made me think of other toys I might have of Katey Sagal. I have a figure somewhere of her signature Peg Bundy role, but I forgot about this Sons of Anarchy Gemma that I picked up years ago on clearance when all the Toys R Us stores were closing. Sons of Anarchy was a show on FX that aired 92 episodes over 7 seasons from 2008-2014. I don't usually watch violent television dramas (like Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Justified, The Wire, etc). I get that it's a super popular genre, but I just gravitate towards sci-fi and comedy. I've been tempted to start watching this show several times over the years purely because of the cast, but even the few YouTube clips I watched tonight while typing this reconfirm that I don't have a stomach for violence and crime. But at least I can appreciate that there was enough of a cultural impact to inspire a cool toyline and get another Katey figure in my collection. Let's check out Gemma below!
