New Marvel Select Spider-Man Swings Into Disney Stores

After the blockbuster summer we have had with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s probably a safe bet that we are all still dealing with a little bit of withdrawal now that the insane amount of new toys and collectibles based on the Marvel film franchise has died down. Thankfully our good friends at Diamond Select Toys saved a special treat for the end of the year with their all new Marvel Select ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ Spider-Man figure! This 7″ scale figure sports 16 points of articulation and comes packaged with a number of alternative hands and a British Flag.

Diamond Select Toys Launches Spider-Man: Far From Home Figure at the Disney Store

Earlier this year, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Far From Home gave fans another pulse-pounding chapter in the Spider-Man saga, sending Peter Parker around the globe in service of SHIELD and showing him (and all of Earth) adjusting to a world without Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man. Now, Diamond Select Toys is proud to deliver the newest Marvel Select action figure, depicting Spidey in his new duds from the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home! Measuring approximately 7 inches tall and featuring 16 points of articulation, for all your wall-crawling and web-swinging poses, this action figure includes four interchangeable pairs of hands and a British flag and flagpole. It comes packaged in the display-ready Select action figure packaging, with side-panel artwork for shelf reference.

Chronicle Collectibles Calls ‘Conan’

It feels like it’s been decades since the Arnold Schwarzenegger lead ‘Conan’ film franchise blew up on the big screen, and that’s because it has been! In the almost four decades since we were first introduced to this version of ‘Conan’, somehow no one has managed to make a figure of the titlular hero that truly captured the character in all his glory. That all changes now, as the team at Chronicle Collectibles has officially opened up pre-orders on their new Conan the Barbarian 1:6th scale figure!

Chronicle Collectibles has spent years trying to bring this figure to life in a way that did justice to the character, and it looks like they finally succeeded! This all-new 1:6th scale figure features a likeness of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger on an all-new body sculpt specifically designed for this figure. Conan will come packaged with the number of film accurate accessories as well as a variety of alternative hands. As a bonus, if you preorder the figure directly from Chronicle Collectibles, you will receive a additional accessory of Conan’s Father’s broken sword!

If you want to add this beautiful new Conan to your collection, it’s going to set you back a cool $250, but that seems like a small price to pay for such quality! You can check out the release info from Chronicle Collectibles below.

The road is long and hard that leads Conan the Cimmerian from the slaughter of his people to the vengeance he seeks. His life has been a grueling, fiery crucible in which a fearsome warrior was forged, leading him, ultimately, to a singular moment. And in that moment, high atop the great pyramid of the Temple of Set, Conan at last comes face-to-face with his lifelong nemesis, Thulsa Doom, and exacts his revenge.

Chronicle Collectibles is understandably thrilled to introduce our Conan the Barbarian OneSixth Figure. Featuring a remarkable likeness of Arnold Schwarzenegger in his role as the titular character from the 1982 John Milius classic, the figure depicts Conan as we remember him from the film’s climactic scene, during his final confrontation with Thulsa Doom.

The fully-sculpted portrait caps an all-original, muscular OneSixth body created specifically for the character, featuring multiple points of articulation. The figure comes clad in the pants Conan wore during the battle at the Mounds, with his feet protected by faux-fur-wrapped boots. Conan is armed with his Atlantean sword, which the figure can either wield or wear at his side with the included faux-leather belt and scabbard. Additional costume options include the Wheel of Pain necklace, a Cult of Set medallion, and an Eye of the Serpent amulet necklace.

As an added bonus, collectors who choose to purchase the Conan the Barbarian OneSixth Figure directly from Chronicle Collectibles will receive the shattered sword of Conan’s father, broken during his battle with Doom’s thug, Lexor. This figure is a limited-edition release, so reserve yours today.
