D23 On The Road’s Home Alone 35th Anniversary San Francisco

Happy New Year! We are starting off 2026 with our first event coverage of the year. We attended the last stop of D23 On The Road’s Home Alone 35th Anniversary in San Francisco, CA at the AMC Kabuki Theater in Japantown on Saturday, Jan 3, 2026. There were 2 different times for the event which was 11:30am and 3:00pm. After we checked in and got our tickets scanned we received an event credential which was in the shape of an ornament that says Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal and it can be used as an ornament too. As we walked inside, D23 staff members were handing out decorative D23 tote bags which had very useful items inside. 

As we walked in through the theater lobby, we were greeted with 2 Home Alone banners featuring The Wet Bandits and Kevin. There was also a photo op which we did not get a picture of since other people were getting their pictures taken. We headed up the stairs to see a line for the concession. Restrooms were close by and the theater room that was used was on it's own side of the building so it's a great place for private events. There was also one more photo op which had a background of the Home Alone house, plane and The Wet Bandits' van.

Master Replica's The Matrix The Nebuchadnezzar Die-Cast

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Matrix, Master Replicas are releasing an incredibly detailed, 11.8” long, die-cast model of Morpheus’s ship The Nebuchadnezzar. When The Matrix was released in 1999, the Wachowskis changed cinema forever. Sci-fi had never been cooler. The original movie played with huge ideas as Morpheus and his allies freed Neo from his mundane reality and introduced him to the truth: a world where the machines have subjugated humanity. 

The Nebuchadnezzar, which was designed by concept artist George Hull, was at the heart of the story. The Neb was a rusting hovercraft that used EM pulses to protect itself from the machines, as Morpheus and his crew managed to stay one step ahead of the robotic Sentinels. 

This impressive die-cast model has been digitally sculpted before being cast in zinc alloy and ABS, and painted by hand. It has been officially licensed by Warner Bros. and is a true collector’s item.

FIRST LOOK AT MYSTERIO’S IRON MAN ILLUSION

Just ahead of the worldwide release, Sideshow's newest UNBOXING VIDEO reveals the first look at Mysterio’s Iron Man Illusion 1/6 Scale Figure by Hot Toys.

Mysterio has trapped Spider-Man within a series of horrifying overlapping visions. Using his holographic technology and projector drones to torment and disorient the young Peter Parker, he even shows a decaying Iron Man emerging from the grave!

 

The Mysterio’s Iron Man Illusion 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure by Hot Toys is inspired by the incredible Illusion Battle in Marvel's Spider-Man: Far From Home. 

This ultra-detailed new 1/6 scale figure recreates the unsettling vision of Iron Man that Mysterio uses to terrorize Spider-Man in the movie. The Mysterio’s Iron Man Illusion 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure features heavily weathered and corroded metallic armor covered with scratches and rust. The armor includes a newly developed damaged helmet (with LED light-up function), as well as light-up LEDs on the hands and the arc reactor that add chilling drama and illuminate the exposed wiring beneath the suit. 

The elaborate diorama display base inspired by the fight scene also includes an LED light-up function, as well as additional pixelated effects and a drone with green smoke effect. 

Pre-Order the nightmarish Mysterio’s Iron Man Illusion 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure for your Marvel collection today at Sideshow.com.

During the Battle of Hoth™, Luke Skywalker fought alongside the Rebel Alliance against the Empire’s ground forces by piloting a snowspeeder™. Along with the other snowspeeder pilots, Luke and his tailgunner Dak™ used their ships' harpoons and cables in a daring attempt to take down the massive Imperial AT-AT walkers™, risking their lives in order to give the Rebels enough time to evacuate the snow planet.

 

This new Luke Skywalker figure is expertly crafted based on the character's appearance in the iconic movie. It features a hand-painted head sculpt with newly sculpted hair, a finely tailored snowspeeder outfit with life support unit on the chest, an LED light-up lightsaber with interchangeable lightsaber blade, a highly detailed flight helmet, a grappling gun, a blaster, a thermal detonator, and more!

PSYLOCKE!

The mutant known as Psylocke crouches silently atop a crumbling pagoda, her hand resting comfortably on the sheath of the razor sharp katana at her hip.

She gazes into the night, her focused and determined expression softly lit by both the cold glow of the full moon and the violet hue of the second (and even more powerful) blade in her arsenal — a shimmering knife composed of pure psi-energy.

Sideshow's latest Marvel comics-inspired Premium Format™ Figure is a fully sculpted and hand-painted statue that includes an unusual and atmospheric forced perspective base to create a dramatic diorama for your X-Men collection.

Robo Force 7.5" Action Figures

Nacelle Company has revived Robo Force with a 7.5" Action Figure line. 

Robo Force’s Maxx Steele and Wrecker return as part of Nacelle’s Very Important Toy Line of 7.5-inch scale figures. These deluxe, fully articulated, 7.5” figures feature beautiful package art, alongside its own collector-friendly window box. 

Maxx Steele was destined to be the latest and greatest in law enforcement (he was literally built to do it), but on the day before his first patrol, the UTOPIA101 line was revealed to the world. Maxx Steele was quietly reassigned to the traffic beat. Despite his best efforts to conform, Maxx Steele's passion for crime fighting, along with a growing distrust of the UTOPIA line, leads Maxx down a path into other, unauthorized, lines of police work. This will create problems. A LOT of problems. 

Wrecker was built to be the jack-of-all-trades for the ROBO FORCE line; he has a tool for every occasion. Sadly, due to the rise of the UTOPIA101 line, those occasions never occurred. Reassigned to use his staggering strength and empathy codex to do the most mundane jobs in the basement of Police Rhombus HQ, Wrecker eventually teams up with Maxx Steele to help protect the innocent, and keep an eye on the increasingly erratic UTOPIA Force (as well as Hun-Dred and his evil minions).

You can pre-order Maxx Steele and Wrecker for $49.99 each or you can get them in a bundle with a t-shirt for $115 at The Nacelle Company store HERE.
