With NYCC over I can finally update the 2026 Marvel Legends preorder calendar through the beginning of November. This brings us to a grand total of 126 figures (not including roleplay items) that went up for preorder or in-stock this year, and we still have all of November and December to go.

Only question here is do I paint a big "M" on his chest to match the cartoon version because obviously I'm getting this guy.

It's October and it's another #TurtleTuesday so let's spend it with a couple of ghostly characters. Creepy Eddie and Shibano-Sama hail from NECA's soon to be retired TMNT toon line. They'll add a little Halloween to your display, but do come at a pretty steep price. Let's see if they're worth it.

NECA TMNT Toon Creepy Eddie and Shibano-Sama
Hey! It's your favorite characters from the old TMNT cartoon! October has arrived which means we have officially entered "Spooky Season." Why not mark the occasion with a look at a set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures from NECA Toys? After all, NECA made its name with horror before becoming something close to a household name when it acquired the TMNT license almost ten years ago.

It's looking likely that after the last piece of the FFVII remake drops early next year that Square-Enix and I will go our separate ways.

People getting caught using A.I. for such things need to feel the sort of shame we used to reserve for toupees, clip-on ties, disguising store bought food as your own, and other social faux pas.

Here’s a high-res scan of a TV Guide cover from 1991 showcasing some new cartoons for the Fall. Interestingly, they use Doug’s concept design here and not the finalized version from the show.

The first video game people tried to get banned was Death Race, a 1976 arcade game. It's VERY violent so watch at your own discretion.

They look pretty good, still curious on how the pricing turns out. I'm also not interested in $100 Mattel figures so I'll wait to catch these at retail to see if I'm gonna bite, but I like what I've seen so far.

Cancellations must have done a number on past ones. I don't personally care, but it looks shady to hide this new policy. It should be front and center on the listing when Hasbro is taking your money. Especially since this is a deviation from what has been the norm.

I see it now. They added it to the terms on the item page. I didn't see it there last night, but I could have missed it: This is a made-to-order product. Pre-order window closes on 11/20/2026, at 11:59 PM EDT. Payment will be processed on 11/23/2026.

That's what I would have done. Let that continue to be "the ultimate expression of the character" and launch a corresponding budget line. Maybe since that's what Super7 did they wanted to do something different? Or someone really fell in love with Ultramate as a marketable word?

I don't think it's replacing it either. It's basically a higher tier, but it has a pack out like an Ultimate would 8-10 years ago. The "ultimate" version just won't live up to that billing any longer.

Joe H. @samhainsgrimm.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
I think it's getting dumped on because it's such a naked attempt at raising prices, but they’re calling it something else. NECA, you're not fooling anyone, just raise the prices of Ultimates if you must and drop the silly name.

X-Men '97's second season may have come and gone, but we're just getting started with the figures. Unveiled almost exactly a year to the date is this massive made-to-order item from Marvel Legends of the signature villain of season 2: Apocalypse! What will #NYCC bring this year and can it top this?
thenostalgiaspot.com
Marvel Legends X-Men ’97 Apocalypse
Come the Apocalypse. One of the big bads of X-Men: The Animated Series was none other than Apocalypse. He appeared in the opening clash to start almost every episode and when the show was looking to end on a high note it selected Apocalypse as the villain to center that story on. When X-Men '97 arrived in 2024, Apocalypse was conspicuously absent apart from a throw-away line by Wolverine in the show's second episode.

The gun hinges and swivels on a trailer hitch with support beams and there is a control seat off center for Grandslam who wears a green jumpsuit with red quilted padding on the chest, biceps, and thighs. The HAL is located in a blasted out urban area and Flash is crouched near the laser.
