Toy Fair 2018: Check Out the Coolest Movie & TV Toys Coming to Shelves

This past weekend, Toy Fair 2018 kicked off in New York City. Tons of new toys were shown off by a myriad of manufacturers, and that includes new action figures and collectibles from some of our favorite movies and TV shows. Here are the best reveals for new releases from Stranger Things 2, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Avengers: Infinity War, Pacific Rim: Uprising, Stephen King’s It, Black Panther, Star Wars, The Real Ghostbusters, and more.

Below, check out the new toys that we’re most excited about. Thanks to ToyArk for their extensive photos.

Stranger Things 2

McFarlane Toys already has an action figure line out for the first season of Stranger Things, but of course they’re going to have a whole new set of them to collect for the second season. For fans of the punk rock Eleven with moody eye shadow and slicked back hair, there’s a figure you’ll want to get your hands on. There’s also a new version of Dustin with his demogorgon pal Dart and an Upside Down version of Will.

But easily the best new action figure addition to the Stranger Things line-up is a four-pack of all the boys decked out in their Ghostbusters costumes from Halloween. There’s even a homemade ghost trap as an accessory that comes with a little baby Dart inside of it. The new figures look to be arriving sometime in the fall

Star Trek

McFarlane Toys is also delivering some awesome new Star Trek figures this summer from two different generations of the long-running sci-fi franchise. There’s a new Captain Kirk figure with a great likeness of William Shatner, and also Captain Jean Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like he has alternate hands for him to perform the famous facepalm meme or his patented “make it so” hand gesture.

Outside of action figures, there’s also an awesome replica of the phaser from the original Star Trek on the way. That’ll be a good substitute for those who can’t afford the more premium prop replicas sold by more high end collectible companies.

Stephen King’s IT

Next up, NECA has two new figures bringing to life the different screen versions of Pennywise the Dancing Clown from the miniseries adaptation in 1990 and last year’s big screen adaptation. Each comes with their own interchangeable hands and accessories, including their signature balloons. Both are 7-inch figures and are expected on shelves in August.

Marvel Legends Infinity Gauntlet

With Avengers: Infinity War on the way, there are plenty of new Marvel toys coming to shelves in the next few months. One of those items will be a Marvel Legends replica of the Infinity Gauntlet. It fits over your hand and is articulated so that you can form a fist with the glove. It also features electronic sounds and light-up Infinity Stones. If you’re interested in seeing it in action, check out this video posted by Marvel’s Ryan Penagos:

The Infinity Gauntlet will be available this spring and will cost you $99.99.

Hasbro’s Interactive Furreal Chewbacca

Looking to make Chewbacca a family friendly pet, Hasbro has a new interactive toy featuring more than 100 sound and motion combinations. He responds to external movements, included being petted, as well as sounds. It sounds a little hokey, but check out this guy in action:

This new Chewbacca comes from the FurReal Friends line of toys, and it’ll cost a pretty penny, with a price tag $129.99. It will be on shelves this fall, but that’s a small price to pay for a Chewbacca who will fall asleep when you rock him in your arms like a baby.

Marvel Legends: The First 10 Years Figures

Since Marvel is celebrating the first 10 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hasbro is releasing some figures to commemorate some of the movies with figures that haven’t been released in the Marvel Legends line before. Plus, there are some new versions of familiar characters, too.

As you can see, we’re getting a figure of Ronan the Accuser from Guardians of the Galaxy, which has never been released before. Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper Potts also gets her own action figure, complete with one of Tony Stark’s Iron Man armor hands, and she comes with Ben Kingsley as the fake version of Mandarin. That Red Skull figure is cool as hell too, and it’s nice to see Lady Sif getting her own figure with Thor.

As of now it’s not clear when these figures are hitting shelves, but it will surely be sometime this year.

Marvel Legends Ant-Man and the Wasp

Aside from celebrating the first 10 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there’s a new line of figures coming for the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp coming later this year. That includes two new Marvel Legends figures for both Ant-Man and his new partner, The Wasp. Check them out:

Each of them will likely come with extra accessories, but they’re not pictured here. I hope that head sculpt of Paul Rudd comes with the figure, because it’s hilarious.
