It’s never a bad time of year for toys. Easter’s on the way, and birthdays happen. But you never know how safe it is to go outside and shop. Buy online! In this ongoing series, Superhero Hype takes a look at some of the better deals for Mar 18 that Amazon.com has running as of publication time. Please note that all deals are subject to change or sell out at any time based on supply and demand.
McFarlane – DC Build-A 7 Figures Wave 3 – Last Knight On Earth – Scarecrow
$14.61
Possibly the creepiest McFarlane Toys DC figure, and that’s saying something. This post-apocalypse Scarecrow, with zombie-like body and robotic claws, can either float like a phantom with his flight stand, or peg into the build-a-figure Bane’s back. Either way, you don;t ant to see this guy coming towards you. But arriving in the mailbox for less than $15, when he used to cost $25? Hell yeah.
The Boys: Starlight Ultimate 7″ Action Figure
$19.99
The absolutely gorgeous, lifelike sculpt of Erin Moriarty here may induce un-Christian thoughts in some collectors. Starlight may have insisted on a more modest costume, but her power and ability to stand up for genuine justice in the world of The Boys…Well, that’s just hot.
Masters of the Universe Masterverse Collection, Revelation Moss Man 7-in Motu Battle Figure
$16.96
Sure he got killed — twice! — in Masters of the Universe: Revelation. He’s still the coolest figure in the toy line, and somehow manages it without real-feel fuzz or pine scent. That’s because he’s the first Moss Man not to sport a straight-up reuse of Beast Man’s body. And he has a root extension hand thing. Also makes a passable Swamp Thing figure for the DC collection, if you’re not a stickler. And that’s a really good price.
Star Wars The Black Series Koska Reeves Toy 6-Inch-Scale The Mandalorian Collectible Figure with Accessories
$15.70
Koska Reeves may not be the flashiest star of The Mandalorian, but she knows how to handle herself in a fight. Probably because the actress, Mercedes Varnado, also goes by “Sasha Banks” in her day job as a WWE superstar. Sporting a blue armor that matches her wrestling hair color, she’s decked out for action here with removable helmet and jetpack. And with Star Wars figure prices going up and up, this is a deal to snag.
DIAMOND SELECT TOYS DC Gallery: The Dark Knight Returns Batman & Robin Deluxe PVC Figure Diorama, Multicolor
$54.99
However many action figures different companies make of these characters, they’ll never strike this pose without exposing obvious points of articulation. Frank Miller’s Batman and Carrie strike a pose aboard the kind of steamy rooftop Gotham City’s known for. One that looks way too small to top an inhabited building, but never mind that. 21 percent off is so much of a steal, Catwoman would be jealous.
LEGO Marvel The Eternals in Arishem’s Shadow 76155 Building Kit
$47.99
How often does anyone get to build God in their living room? Arishem, the Celestial who apparently created the Marvel Cinematic Universe, stands a foot tall and towers over LEGO minfigs. He’s fully articulated, but also comes with a buildable deviant, as well as Ajak, Ikaris, Sersi, and Kingo. And he keeps going down in price.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. Cobra Kai Raph vs. John Kreese 2 Pack
$27.99
Can evil karate man John Kreese manage to strike first on a ninja turtle? Playmates would like to imagine so, in this odd match-up set pitting the Karate Kid/Cobra Kai villain against the moodiest of the TMNT. Raph, left to his own devices, could be a great Cobra Kai, but he’d never let Kreese be the boss. And Splinter is 100% Miyagi-do. At $27.99, this costs less than some individual Turtle figures.
Super7 Thundercats: Mumm-Ra Mummy (Version 2) Ultimates Action Figure, Multicolor
$45.00
“Ancient shpiritsh of evil…transform thish decayed form!” It’s super-rare for Super7 Ultimates figures to maintain original retail price on the secondary market. And yet, here’s Mumm-Ra at original made-to-order retail. The evil undead sorcerer made for one of the smartest bad guys of ’80s cartoons, failing only when he was either failed by his minions or legitimately bested. Don’t miss out on this chance to bring him home and defeat all your heroes.
Hasbro Marvel Legends Series 6-inch Scale Action Figure Toy Sabretooth, Premium Design, 1 Figure, 3 Accessories, and 1 Build-A-Figure Part
$16.79
This Age of Apocalypse Sabretooth is such a big boy, most fans figured he’d come as a build-a-figure. Not so. As a regular carded figure, that’s a lot of plastic for even a regular price, let alone the current discount. Pair him with Wild Child for a complete team.
Playmobil Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701
$352.56
$352.56 is one hell of a good deal for a $500 toy. Over three feet long, this epic Star Trek playset by Playmobil includes app-enabled features, plus fully functional bridge and engineering play areas. Also comes with both a display base and a mobile assembly to hang it from the ceiling.
