Last time we checked in on the future of LEGO Marvel creations, we had a pretty good idea of what to expect from the theme’s main creations. Now ahead of all of the releases this summer, we’re getting some reports of what LEGO builders can look forward to in terms of the rumored Marvel collectible minifigure series due out later this year. With 12 characters from Disney+ series like WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, we’re likely to see quite a few all-new minifigures from the expanded Marvel Cinematic Universe. Head below for everything we know so far.

We have featured some impressive toys around here before, but nothing quite like this new Transformers collectible. Hasbro has teamed up with robotics toy company Robosen to offer what might be one of the most advanced and high-end Transformers robots yet. Standing 19 inches tall, the Optimus Prime toy you see featured in this post is really more of a smartphone-controlled robot that can automatically transform into his vehicle form with the touch of a button or simply by using voice commands. And it’s going to cost you. Head below for a closer look.

A series of new Justice League Zack Snyder Cut Funko POP! figures have now been unleashed. Full-color versions of the Darkseid, Diana Prince, Black Suit Superman, and Dasaad that hit last month as part of special promotion for the re-cut film are going up for general release and are now available to pre-order. Originally released in a sort of “Justice is Gray” black-and-white metallic paint job with very limited availability, it looks like the rest of the DC Comics Snyder cut fans will be able to get in on the action now. Head below for a closer look.
