New Doctor Strange Diorama at ShopDisney.com

By the Vishanti! With Doctor Strange starring in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and now “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness,” it’s never been a better time to be the Sorcerer Supreme! Now, the Disney Store is celebrating with Diamond Select Toys to create an all-new exclusive Doctor Strange collectible!

 

Available starting today, this approximately 12-inch-tall Gallery Diorama of Strange is based on his appearance in classic Marvel Comics! Depicting Stephen Strange floating over a swirling mass of spirits, this sculpture features detailed sculpting and paint applications. Made from high-quality PVC, this affordable piece of artwork comes packaged in a full-color window box. Designed by Joe Allard, sculpted by Mat Brouillard!

Spider-Man (Negative Zone) Gallery Diorama

Diamond Comic Distributors is celebrating its 40^th anniversary, and Diamond Select Toys is honoring the occasion with a new exclusive release! Being that Spider-Man is near and dear to their hearts, DST opted to transform one of their most recent Marvel Gallery Dioramas into an all-new piece – Negative Zone Spidey!

Spinning out of DST’s popular Marvel Gallery Spider-Man on Lamppost PVC Diorama, this new Negative Zone variant features Peter Parker’s stark black-and-white costume, as well as a blue web-line, fallen lamppost and crackling energy! Standing approximately 10 inches tall, it was designed by Nelson Asencio and sculpted by Jean St. Jean. It comes packaged in an appropriately black-and-white window box, and will ship to stores this summer. Find a store at comicshoplocator.com and reserve yours, or pre-order online at diamondselecttoys.com!

Hot Toys Electro

Hot Toys has unveiled a new addition to their much loved Marvel 1/6 scale figure lineup: an all-new Electro, drawing inspiration from Spider-Man: No Way Home!

No Way Home sees our friendly neighborhood hero's identity revealed to the public by Mysterio. Peter Parker's life is thrown into turmoil, and his responsibilities as Spider-Man begin to put the people he cares about most at risk.   

Seeking help from Doctor Strange, Peter unwittingly unleashes a multiverse of adversaries — and finds help from some unexpected allies. 

This stunning new Electro 1/6 Scale Figure is inspired by Max Dillon's appearance in the blockbuster movie. The figure features a newly developed hand-painted head sculpt, an ultra-detailed movie accurate recreation of his outfit, and a wealth of accessories including lightning effects and his star-shaped mask.

Find out more about the new Electro 1/6 Scale Figure, via Sideshow.com. Pre-order Electro HERE.

Sideshow's Batman & Catwoman Diorama

Sideshow's latest addition to its line of deluxe DC collectibles is a stunning diorama celebrating one of the most iconic couples in comics history. 

 

The Batman and Catwoman Diorama is an intricately detailed, fully sculpted polystone statue depicting a Gotham City rooftop rendezvous between the Bat and the Cat. Their body language sizzles with all the sensuality and playfulness that surrounds the relationship of the Dark Knight and his enigmatic companion.

Standing an impressive 20” tall and 9.25” wide, the Batman and Catwoman Diorama is a must have for DC comics fans, and a fine addition to any collection.

The Batman and Catwoman Diorama is available for pre-order now, via Sideshow HERE.

The box design is always on point and matches well with all the other Peanuts Supersize vinyl figures that have been released so far. Add Charlie Brown to your collection today HERE for $295.

Super7 released Disney's Pinocchio Supersize Vinyl Figure. 16" tall and comes in a huge box. The packaging design matches the other 2 previous released supersize vinyl figures. Take home this "real boy" today HERE for $295.
 

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.

Super7's Disney's Fantasia Ben Ali Gator Supersize Figure

Super7 recently released Disney Fantasia's Ben Ali Gator Supersize Vinyl Figure. Figure stands 16" tall and comes in a huge box. The outer box packaging matches the previously released Brave Little Tailor Mickey Figure and just released Pinocchio. These retail for $295. You can order yours HERE.

HOT TOYS TRANSPORT TROOPER

The Transport Trooper was seen in season 2 of the hit Disney Plus series, The Mandalorian™.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM 12 DAYS OF SIDESHOW

 

Between December 25 and January 5, Sideshow's annual 12 Days of Sideshow showcase gave us the first look at a wealth of new and upcoming pop culture inspired statues and art from Sideshow and its partners.

Here's a rundown of all the new reveals... 

The first reveal from 12 Days of Sideshow was epic!

This enormous Phoenix and Jean Grey Maquette will make an impressive centerpiece for any X-Men themed collection! 

Inspired by Jean Grey's iconic transformation from Marvel's X-Men comics, this newly revealed statue features two fully sculpted figures in a fiery environment base — Jean Grey stands in the foreground, her mind wracked with psychic influence as Phoenix rises behind her with flaming wings outstretched. Jean Grey is dressed in her classic blue and yellow ‘90s costume while her Phoenix incarnation wears her distinct green and black bodysuit.
