Star Wars ARTFX+ Statues bring quality and detailing in a small scale suitable for collecting. An addition to the Saga Collection, the Storm Trooper Build Pack features a Storm Trooper wrapped up in shiny white armor and following the orders of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader to the letter. The Storm Troopers project the Empire’s might into every corner of the galaxy. Rarely found alone, the Troopers attack en masse to swarm their foes with superior numbers. Joining the ARTFX+ line, these two Storm Troopers are perfect miniature versions of the onscreen characters, with fully detailed armor and weapons. Both come with four different interchangeable kinds of arm parts and two different style of leg parts, making for eighteen different posing combinations. Like other ARTFX+ Statues the Troopers also have magnets in their feet for display on included bases. ARTFX+ Statues are fun-to-assemble pre-painted snap-fit kits that can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill. The Storm Troopers stand nearly 8 inches tall (1/10th scale).

From the line of smaller scale Star Wars ARTFX+ Statues comes characters from the original films in this Saga Collection. First in line is the notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett. Appearing as he did in Empire Strikes Back, Fett works with Darth Vader to capture the Millennium Falcon and collect on the bounty for Han Solo. Cold and calculating, Boba Fett is never encountered without his full suit of Mandalorian armor and trusty blaster rifle. The armor plating over a full-length bodysuit clearly shows the wear and tear of a life as a galactic bounty hunter, along with all of the personal touches added by Fett over the years like the cape and unique built in weaponry. Poseable in two ways (holding his gun at ease or aimed at his quarry), Fett comes with two different interchangeable arms and magnets in his feet for display on the included base. ARTFX+ Statues are fun-to-assemble pre-painted snap-fit kits that can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill.  Boba Fett stands almost 8 inches tall (1/10th scale) and is the first in the the upcoming Saga Collection line.

Sabretooth is the third member of the elite X-Men Danger Room Sessions Fine Art Statues in the Marvel Comics Presents Kotobukiya Collection. Inspired by Jim Lee’s 1990’s era X-Men, Sabretooth (Victor Creed) embodies animalistic aggression. With similar powers and abilities including a healing factor, superhuman senses, and claws, he was a longtime rival of Wolverine. The fearsome predator stands ready for battle, his left hand balled into a fist and his right splayed open with claws at the ready. Sabretooth’s face is a mask of rage with his fangs bared in a vicious snarl. The mutant’s costume is authentic to the last detail, with the iconic brown and yellow tiger-striped bodysuit and massive fur collar. Sculpted by Erick Sosa, Sabretooth stands nearly 14 inches tall (in 1/6th scale with the other Danger Room Sessions members Wolverine and Psylocke). Beneath his feet is an exclusive base consisting of snow-covered rocky terrain on top of a mechanical projector. Every mutant in the Danger Room Sessions series is mounted on a unique Danger Room holographic environment with translucent parts that glow with a built-in LED light in the base.

Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of DC Comics, the DC X Bishoujo Collection (combining DC’s superheroines and villains with traditional Japanese stylings) continues with the second beautiful bishoujo-inspired statues, Catwoman. Catwoman is ready for heroism or mischief (or both). Clad in her tight black leather bodysuit, the thieving beauty coyly raises one foot off the ground while playfully biting her whip. Meanwhile, the rest of her weapon coils in the air behind her, adding tremendous life and action to the piece. Catwoman is finely detailed, from her goggles pushed up on her forehead, the straps on her boots and the buckles at her neck and waist. Finishing off with her beautiful Bishoujo-styled face. Catwoman is constructed of high-quality pvc plastic and stands approximately 9 1/10 inches tall (in an increased 1/7 scale for DC X Bishoujo statues) atop an exclusive Gotham City Batman-inspired gargoyle base complete with two miniature cats. First appearing in 1940’s Batman #1, Selina Kyle has for decades straddled the line between hero and villain. Whether on the same side or not, Catwoman and Batman have had an interesting relationship that has occasionally turned romantic.

The Troublesome Trucks are needed for a hauling job and Percy is there to see the work gets done without the trucks causing too much mischief. This large scale ready-to-run electric train set comes complete with Percy the Small Engine (with moving eyes), Troublesome Truck #1, Troublesome Truck #2, a 5'4" x 4'3" oval of track, a power pack/speed controller, an illustrated instruction manual and DVD-format video instructions.

Doozers live within Fraggle Rock and stand only 6" tall. The Doozers are small humanoid pudgy green creatures. They spend most of their time busily constructing small buildings out of a candy-like substance (that the Fraggles love to eat, which ensures a steady and constant work flow for the Doozers) made out of radishes and chanting marching songs. They use miniature construction equipment and wear hard-hats and work boots. No one but the Doozers themselves seems to understand the actual purpose of their intricate and beautiful constructions. "Doozers look just like the Fraggle Rock characters and comes in a puppet or plush," Julie Flann, marketing and sales manager of Manhattan Toy, told TDmonthly.

Traveling Matt is a brave and famous Fraggle explorer. He is also Gobo's uncle. Matt spends most of the Fraggle Rock series in "Outer Space" (his perspective of the human world) and sends postcards back to his nephew describing his adventures there. Matt prides himself on his bravery and resourcefulness, but also tends towards clumsiness, frequently falling backwards or tripping during his travels. This Matt toy looks just like the Fraggle Rock character, and comes in plush and puppet versions.

Sprocket is an intelligent sheepdog owned by Doc, the inventor of Fraggle Rock, and he proves the motto that dog is truly man's best friend. He spends much of his time in Doc's Workshop, where his bed and food dish are, observing Doc at work. Sprocket is very communicative and frequently talks to Doc by barking, making faces, or pointing to objects in a form of charades. Doc often relies on Sprocket to help with household chores, including repairs on the water pipes. This soft plush toy has furry gray hair, just like the real Fraggle Sprocket.

From the line of 1:1 scale models of Interceptor Dolls from One-Shot Bug Killer!! Interceptor Doll Hoi Hoi-San is the main character’s diminutive assistant and support staff, Hoi Hoi-San Mini with Hoi Hoi Carry. This little “doll” resembles her boss, with a cute maid’s uniform complete with bowtie, puffy shoes, gloves, and a big bow in her hair. She may be small, but she’s still an Interceptor Doll and comes armed with a special “Pumping Gun” in her size. She also brings an exclusive “Hand Gatling Gun” for her boss, and the fantastic Hoi Hoi Carry (a portable armory, the Carry cart has hooks on its sides for weapon storage as well as a dividing plate and opening hatch for loading items big and small). Hoi Hoi-San Mini also comes with extra eye parts for customization, three sets of hands (closed, open, and weapon gripping), and special decals. At just over 3 ¼ inches tall she is in 1:1 scale along with the other One-Shot Bug Killer!! robots.  Sculpted by Tsukuru Shirahige and Yuta Itoyama, the extermination assistant and her gear are comprised of approximately 200 pieces, and Mini has 30 points of articulation.
