GI Joe Classified Series Ninja Force Scarlett & T’JBang

Official Product Description: G.I. JOE is a highly skilled, on-demand, special operations force of men and women from around the globe tasked with defending the world from Cobra, a ruthless criminal organization bent on total domination. Wherever there’s trouble, G.I. JOE is there. New to the G.I. JOE Classified Series line, Ninja Force Scarlett and T’Jbang come ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Ninja Force Scarlett and T’Jbang figure set is bursting with 15 character-inspired accessory pieces. The Scarlett figure comes with 2 claws, sword, 2 kunai knives, 2 alternate hands and alt masked head. The T’Jbang figure comes with 2 alt hands, claw, hook knife, alt tiger masked head, and his 2 signature hook swords that can snap together. These swift and silent commandos are the true elite forces for G.I.JOE and Cobra! Each Ninja warrior is fully capable of neutralizing an adversary in milliseconds with his martial arts moves and lethal weapons!

The front of the box features a dark carbon-fiber textured frame with a bold blue inner tray, and the Ninja Force sub-line gets its own hot pink shuriken emblem in the lower corner. Both figures are packed with a generous spread of accessories, including multiple bladed weapons, three swappable masks, extra hands, silver tonfa, and what looks like a grappling hook, so you’re getting a lot of gear in this set.

The back of the box sets the scene with a gorgeous illustrated diorama of cherry blossoms and stone lanterns, placing Scarlett and T’Jbang in a moonlit Japanese garden that perfectly fits the Ninja Force theme. Three stylized mask icons line the right side, each representing a different character, alongside small silhouettes of the included accessories.

Scarlett’s green and yellow-green bodysuit is complemented by gold bullet bandoliers crossing her chest, black leather-like straps, and bright red hair swept back in a long ponytail. T’Jbang sports a quilted yellow chest protector over bare arms, blue denim-style pants, and matching yellow shin guards with star-shaped rivets, plus a striking yellow and black luchador-style mask that gives his look a completely different vibe from the typical ninja aesthetic.

Here’s a closer look at the full accessory spread laid out alongside both figures, and there’s a lot to take in. Scarlett comes with a katana, a pair of sai, a clawed hand attachment, and a horned oni-style mask in dark bronze and red, while T’Jbang gets two silver hook swords, a white kabuki-style mask, and swappable fist and grip hands, so between the two of them, you’ve got a seriously loaded set.

Scarlett’s sai feature nicely sculpted wrapped grips and those long, curved prongs that taper to fine points, and the trailing ribbons from her bandoliers add a sense of movement to the whole figure. T’Jbang’s hook swords are impressive pieces, with the crescent guards and hooked tips all cast in a clean silver that contrasts well against his yellow and blue color scheme.

Transformers Movie Deluxe Class Prowl

Official Product Description: Prowl is an Autobot military strategist who is known for his loyalty, patience, and competence. Celebrate the 40-year anniversary of THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE with the TRANSFORMERS Studio Series MTMTE Collection Prowl action figure. The 5-inch figure converts from robot to police car mode in 15 steps. With movie-inspired details, intricate poseability, and attachable siren bar and blaster accessories, this Prowl figure makes an awesome addition to any collection. Look for more TRANSFORMERS collectible toys (sold separately, subject to availability) to create a lineup that is — More Than Meets the Eye.  

Prowl’s packaging features a dark box design with the figure displayed in robot mode against a blue honeycomb-patterned tray, while the box art to the right depicts him in a classic animated style, red chevron horns prominent, blasting forward with weapon drawn. The lower portion of the box showcases his alt mode, a sleek white sports car with blue headlight accents, red Autobot insignia on the hood, and a racing stripe deco that ties his vehicle and robot forms together visually.

Prowl’s robot mode shows off a crisp white, black, and gray color scheme broken up by those gorgeous sky-blue shin vents and shoulder accents that immediately pull your eye across the figure. His alt mode sits alongside, a smooth white sports car with blue hood accents, a red Autobot shield stamped on the front quarter panel, and a roof-mounted cannon that keeps things faithful to his classic G1 look.

Prowl’s alt mode gets a clean solo showcase here, and that white sports car body with its black lower panel and silver bumper trim carries a satisfying heft to the proportions. The roof-mounted cannon is a white twin-barreled piece with a red lightbar base, and those blue headlight accents flanking the hood pair with the Autobot insignia and the blue police shield on the front fender to give the deco a nice layered identity.

Armed with a gray shoulder cannon and that long-barreled rifle, Prowl’s robot mode really lets you appreciate how cleanly the vehicle panels integrate into his frame, with the hood forming the chest and the rear fenders folding down into those chunky lower legs. The small red chevron on his forehead and the matching Autobot insignia on his chest tie the deco together nicely, and those black tire treads tucked into the shoulders and ankles are a subtle reminder of the sports car hiding inside this bot.

You can see how Prowl’s robot mode and alt mode presented together really highlight the design continuity, with the sky-blue accents on the shins and shoulders carrying directly over to the headlight and fender details on the sports car below. The gray rifle’s barrel is long and tapered with a slight step-down near the muzzle, while the blockier weapon in his other grip has a multi-port barrel face that suggests something closer to a scatter blaster, giving him two distinctly different armament silhouettes.

Movie Voyager Class Starscream

Official Product Description: Starscream is the ambitious and conniving Decepticon who would love nothing more than to take Megatron’s place as leader. Celebrate the 40-year anniversary of THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE with the TRANSFORMERS Studio Series MTMTE Collection Starscream action figure. The 6.75-inch figure converts from robot to jet mode in 27 steps. With movie-inspired details, intricate poseability, and attachable null ray accessories, this Starscream figure makes an awesome addition to any collection. Look for more TRANSFORMERS collectible toys (sold separately, subject to availability) to create a lineup that is — More Than Meets the Eye.   

Starscream’s packaging presents his robot mode against a blue tray, with the box art to the right depicting him in that iconic G1 animated style, crimson and white armor gleaming, alongside his alt mode rendered as a sleek white and red jet cutting across the lower portion. I like how the yellow cockpit canopy on the figure catches your attention immediately, splitting that deep crimson chest armor and giving the whole color layout a warm focal point right at center mass.

Starscream’s jet mode is a sleek, compact piece, with the gray fuselage tapering to a sharp nosecone and those blue vertical stabilizers and swept-back tail fins giving the silhouette an unmistakable F-15 profile. The amber-orange cockpit canopy sits recessed into the red and gray forward section, and small purple Decepticon insignias on each wing are a satisfying little detail that grounds the alt mode firmly in its G1 heritage.

Starscream’s jet mode gets a great underside peek here, where the red intake panels and blue landing gear housings break up the otherwise uniform gray belly with pops of his signature tri-color deco. The twin gray cannons mounted under the wings have a nice cylindrical sculpt with tapered tips, and that translucent amber cockpit canopy carries a warm, golden tone that contrasts beautifully against the cool gray nosecone.

Starscream’s robot mode really comes together here, with those large wing panels sweeping back from the shoulders creating a silhouette that’s unmistakably his, and the blue forearm housings and matching blue foot pieces tie the limbs into the same tri-color scheme carried through the jet mode. One thing I noticed right away is how the small Decepticon insignia peeks out from behind the right wing, and the way the gray null ray cannons mount onto the arms gives his upper body a satisfying asymmetric bulk when paired with those oversized wing kibble shoulders.

Here’s a closer look at both of Starscream’s modes side by side, and the transition between jet and robot is impressively clean, with the red chest plate and amber cockpit canopy serving as the visual anchor in both configurations. The gray fuselage panels tuck neatly into the legs and back during transformation, and those blue stabilizer fins that define the jet’s tail end up framing his feet in robot mode, keeping that iconic tri-color palette consistent no matter which form he’s in.

Studio Series MTMTE Collection Insecticon Set

Official Product Description: Celebrate the 40-year anniversary of THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE with the TRANSFORMERS Studio Series MTMTE Collection Insecticon action figures. Each figure is 5.5 inches in robot mode and features movie-inspired deco and details. Insecticon Bombshell converts from bot to beetle mode in 13 steps, Insecticon Shrapnel from bot to stag beetle in 11 steps, and Insecticon Kickback from bot to grasshopper mode in 14 steps. With 6 glow-in-the-dark Energon cube accessories, this TRANSFORMERS figure set makes an awesome addition to any collection. Look for more TRANSFORMERS collectible toys (sold separately, subject to availability) to create a lineup that is – More Than Meets the Eye.  

The packaging front frames all three Insecticons in a wide window format, with Bombshell’s squat, compact frame on the left, Shrapnel’s broader stag beetle-inspired shoulders in the center, and Kickback’s taller, leaner grasshopper silhouette on the right, each one wearing that unified black and purple deco punctuated by bold yellow chest plates. The box art running along the bottom depicts the trio in their insect alt modes mid-swarm, rendered in a vivid purple and black color palette with energy blasts streaking across the scene, and it’s a nicely chaotic piece of illustration that sells the Insecticons as a threat rather than just a three-pack.

The Insecticons’ packaging presents all three figures side by side against a blue honeycomb-patterned tray, with Bombshell, Shrapnel, and Kickback each showing off their distinct robot mode silhouettes in that classic black, purple, and gold color scheme. Outside the box, you can see how each one carries a completely different profile, from Bombshell’s horn cannon and compact torso to Shrapnel’s sweeping white stag beetle wings and Kickback’s angular grasshopper wing panels, making the trio feel like a genuinely cohesive squad rather than simple repaints of each other.

The back of the Insecticons box lays out all three figures in both robot and insect modes, with comic-style panels running across the top depicting the trio chomping through the door to Autobot City in a sequence pulled straight from the ’86 film. I like how each figure’s insect mode gets its own dedicated space below its robot form, with Shrapnel’s stag beetle, Bombshell’s boll weevil, and Kickback’s grasshopper all showing off their distinct alt mode silhouettes alongside small pink energon cube accessories tucked between them.

Here are some fun shots of the Insecticons in their bug modes, and each one brings a totally different creature to life. Bombshell’s boll weevil form is a compact, boxy little tank with that yellow compound eye and segmented white mandibles extending forward, while Shrapnel’s stag beetle spreads those enormous off-white wings high above a body bristling with purple claws and yellow thorax accents, and Kickback’s grasshopper crouches low with his long white rear legs folded tightly against a sleek purple and black abdomen.

The Insecticons’ robot modes get a full group showcase here, and what I really appreciate is how distinct each figure’s silhouette reads even within that shared black, purple, and gold palette. Bombshell’s white rhinoceros beetle horn rises from his head like a cannon turret, Shrapnel’s off-white stag beetle mandibles sweep upward in a dramatic crown formation, and Kickback’s swept-back white wings give him a streamlined, aerial profile that sets him apart from his two stockier teammates.

Uncanny X-Men Onslaught

The packaging leans hard into that retro Uncanny X-Men card art style, with a hot pink backer and a bold illustration of Onslaught lunging forward in full crimson and purple armor, fist clenched. I like how the figure itself fills the blister with those massive spiked shoulder guards and sweeping cape, making this one of those packages that just commands shelf space.

You can see how the card artwork dominates the presentation here, with Onslaught’s crimson armor and purple gauntlets rendered in a thick, saturated comic style that screams mid-’90s X-Men event book. The backer’s hot pink gradient and neon green title lettering lean fully into that era’s aesthetic, and that small corner portrait card with the tiny character headshots is a nice nostalgic touch.

Onslaught is absolutely massive here, with those towering purple shoulder guards framing his helmeted head and creating a silhouette that feels genuinely imposing on the shelf. The crimson armor features sculpted panel lines and segmented plating across the torso and thighs, broken up by those glowing blue circular ports on his chest and a matching one at the sternum, while his piercing cyan eyes peer out from beneath that signature pointed helm.

Clad in that deep crimson and purple color scheme, Onslaught’s lower half gets a good showcase here, with the sculpted purple knee guards and segmented boot armor carrying the same layered, mechanical feel as the upper body. The splayed fingers on both hands reveal individually sculpted digits with purple gauntlets wrapping the forearms, and those small fin-like details along the hip armor add another level of complexity to an already loaded sculpt.

Here’s a closer look at the cape, which drapes from the back of those enormous shoulder guards in a series of sculpted purple tendrils that almost look organic, tapering into jagged claw-like tips at the bottom. I’m really digging the “M” insignia etched into the left shoulder guard, a subtle nod to Magneto’s legacy buried within all that layered armor.

Something I appreciate here is the way Onslaught’s helmet reads from this lower angle, with the pointed visor narrowing sharply over those cyan eyes and the sweeping purple crown piece locking seamlessly into the high collar of his armor. The blue circular ports on the upper chest sit recessed into the crimson plating, and you can really see how the layered shoulder guard construction creates depth, with multiple overlapping plates stacked rather than a single solid piece.

Onslaught’s back is just as loaded with detail as the front, with the cape tendrils fanning outward to reveal the complex understructure connecting the shoulder guards to the torso armor. The fin-like hip blades jut outward with sharp, angular tips, and the deep purple boots feature tiered plating that wraps all the way around the calves, keeping the mechanical aesthetic consistent from every angle.

Onslaught’s full frontal presence really lets you take in the sheer proportions of this figure, with his head almost swallowed by the collar and shoulder architecture towering above it. The glossy purple finish on the gauntlets, boots, and shoulder plates contrasts sharply against the matte-leaning crimson of the torso and thigh armor, and that trident-shaped codpiece detail hanging from the waist adds a menacing flourish I hadn’t fully clocked until now.

Star Wars Retro Collection 6 pack

Official Product Description: Ideal for new fans and long-time collectors alike, the STAR WARS RETRO COLLECTION features detailing and design calling back to the original 1970s and 1980s figures. Inspired by STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE, this RETRO COLLECTION 3.75-inch-scale multipack is ideal for play or display, complete with a nostalgic feel. The multipack includes Garindan, R4-M9, Captain Antilles, Princess Leia Organa (Yavin), Wedge Antilles, and CZ-3 figures. Features five points of articulation and comes with 7 accessories to add to each figure’s poseability. Each figure in this vintage toys assortment features a blister card with classic Kenner branding. Find other RETRO STAR WARS collectibles to reimagine iconic scenes — or create your own (each sold separately, subject to availability). 

The multipack’s front-of-box presentation nails that nostalgic Kenner feel, with the blue halftone gradient fading into the black display window where all six figures are lined up together in a clean row. A small graphic in the lower left corner shows the six mini cardback-style cards bundled with the set, adding a collectible bonus that fans of the vintage format will definitely appreciate.

The multipack box is shown at an angle that highlights both the front window and the black side panel, giving you a full sense of the box’s depth and shelf presence. I like how the blue halftone gradient wraps seamlessly around the corner into the solid black side, where the stacked white lettering and a small illustrated vignette of spacecraft in the lower corner keep the design from going completely minimal.

The packaging front goes all-in on the classic Kenner blue card design, with a halftone dot pattern filling the upper portion and the familiar white racing stripes cutting diagonally across the center. The lower window showcases the full six-figure lineup, with Garindan, R4-M9, Captain Antilles, Princess Leia Organa (Yavin), Wedge Antilles, and CZ-3 all lined up together, and a small callout in the corner confirms six individual cardback-style mini cards are included in the set.

The back of the multipack box uses a black field with a central display strip featuring six film stills from A New Hope, each one corresponding to a character in the set, flanking that classic silver Star Wars logo and vintage Ralph McQuarrie illustration. It’s cool to see how they pulled specific reference shots for each figure, from Wedge in his cockpit to Garindan lurking in Mos Eisley, giving the whole package a curated, film-archive quality that goes beyond a simple product shot grid.

Wedge Antilles gets his own carded look here, with the classic Kenner card back featuring a gorgeous film still of Denis Lawson in his X-wing cockpit, visor down, filling the right side of the blister area. His orange flight suit, white chest harness, and removable green-striped pilot helmet are all nestled into the yellowed blister tray alongside a teal blaster pistol, keeping the whole presentation perfectly in line with the vintage Kenner spirit.

Wedge Antilles gets his full out-of-packaging look here, and that bright orange flight suit with its white chest harness and gray life support box really pops in person. His dark brown hair and clean face sculpt keep things simple and Kenner-faithful, while the removable green-and-white striped pilot helmet and teal blaster pistol round out his gear nicely.

Wedge Antilles’ orange flight suit and green-striped helmet are given a clean, standalone promotional presentation here against the classic halftone backer, and that gray chest box with its tiny blue and silver control details is one of those subtle sculpted touches that rewards a closer look. The teal blaster pistol sits low against his thigh, and the contrast between his black gloves and boots against all that warm orange keeps the color blocking sharp and faithful to the original Kenner proportions.

Wedge Antilles’ removable pilot helmet gets a nice showcase here off his head, and that white dome with its green and orange-gold striped panels has a chunky, toyetic charm that feels perfectly at home in the retro format. The teal blaster pistol’s simplified barrel and grip catch your eye as a color accent against all that orange, and his gray chest harness straps frame the silver and blue life support box in a way that keeps the torso from reading as a single block of color.

Captain Antilles gets his own carded presentation here, with a film still of the Tantive IV officer in his white fleet trooper helmet filling the right side of the card, set against that signature light blue Kenner backer. His tan Rebel uniform features small blue rank insignia on the chest and brown boots that break up the otherwise monochromatic outfit, and the teal blaster pistol tucked beside him in the blister matches the same accessory style seen across the rest of this multipack.

Captain Antilles is shown here outside his packaging, and that tan Rebel uniform with its darker brown shoulder yoke and matching brown boots reads cleanly in the retro Kenner format. The small blue rank insignia on his chest and the white padded helmet with its dark visor strip are the two details that really anchor this figure to his Tantive IV appearance, and the teal blaster pistol beside him rounds out a tight, no-frills accessory loadout.

Captain Antilles gets a full promotional spotlight here against that soft blue halftone Kenner-style backer, and his white padded helmet with the dark crown strip really reads well isolated like this. The golden-yellow shoulder yoke and vest panel over the tan uniform create a warmer color split than you might expect from a Rebel fleet officer, and those brown boots have a nice, slightly glossy finish that separates them from the matte tones of the uniform fabric.

Captain Antilles’ teal blaster pistol has that same simplified, blocky Kenner sculpt seen across the rest of the multipack, and his white helmet’s padded ear covers frame a clean, neutral face sculpt with minimal but effective painted eyebrows and a small, focused expression. I noticed that the brown diagonal strap crossing from his shoulder to his waist adds a subtle bit of visual interest to the tan uniform that you don’t fully appreciate until seeing the figure isolated like this against the blue halftone backer.

Princess Leia Organa (Yavin) gets her own carded spotlight, with a beautiful film still of Carrie Fisher in her ceremonial gown and silver necklace filling the right half of the card against a soft green Kenner-style backer. Her white flowing gown and signature braided updo are captured in that simplified retro sculpt, and the green tinted blister tray pairs nicely with the card’s verdant color palette.

Princess Leia Organa (Yavin) is shown here outside her packaging, and that soft white cape drapes over her shoulders with a fabric-like mesh texture that adds a surprising amount of visual interest to the retro format. Her included medal accessory sits beside her in a tan plastic with a simple triangular loop design, a small but essential piece that ties this figure directly to the Yavin ceremony scene.

Princess Leia Organa (Yavin) gets a full standalone look here, and that mesh-textured white cape really does add a lot of dimension to what is otherwise a very clean, minimalist sculpt. The silver necklace detail at her collar and the matching silver belt buckle and boot accents provide just enough metallic contrast against all that white, and her dark brown updo has a nice, compact shape that stays true to the Kenner proportions.

Princess Leia Organa (Yavin) carries her tan medal accessory here, and you can see how the simple looped cord design evokes the ceremony moment without overcomplicating the retro sculpt. Her silver boot tips peek out from beneath the flowing white gown, and the cape’s mesh weave sits naturally across her shoulders with a slightly translucent quality that lets the white bodysuit read through underneath.

Garindan’s individual card presentation pairs his cloaked, snout-heavy silhouette against a rich red Kenner-style backer, with a moody film reference photo on the right showing the informant lurking in his heavy robes on the streets of Mos Eisley. The blister tray carries that same warm red tone, and you can see the white blaster rifle and a small cylindrical accessory tucked alongside him, keeping the pack-in count modest but period-appropriate for the retro format.

Garindan is wrapped in a heavy dark olive cloak with a coarse, woven texture that drapes over his entire frame, nearly swallowing the gray tunic and black gloves underneath. His elongated snout and those small, glossy pinkish-purple goggles are dead-on for the Kenner vintage aesthetic, and the white blaster rifle he’s carrying has that classic simplified sculpt that feels right at home with the retro format.

Garindan’s cloaked figure is presented here against the red backer card alongside his two accessories, the white blaster rifle and a smaller cylindrical comlink, both flanking him in the packaging window. The woven texture of that olive cloak really pops against the clean red field, and his pinkish-purple goggle lenses and tan snout sculpt carry all the personality of the original Kenner figure in a tight, streamlined package.

Garindan’s coarse olive cloak takes on a heavier, more textured look from this straight-on angle, with the fabric draping past his knees and nearly engulfing his black-gloved hands and dark boots beneath the hem. The white blaster rifle tucked at his side has that characteristic chunky, pared-down Kenner sculpt, and the way his tan snout juts forward from the shadowed hood gives the whole figure a wonderfully sinister profile.

R4-M9’s individual card presentation pairs the little droid’s white and olive-green deco against a Kenner-style backer, with a reference photo on the right showing the astromech’s distinctive cone-shaped dome and dark green paneling in all its film-accurate glory. I like how the warm yellow tint of the blister tray gives the white plastic body an almost aged, vintage toy store feel that complements the throwback card design perfectly.

R5-D4’s white and gold-olive deco gives him a distinctly different feel from the more familiar R2-D2 color scheme, with those fine-lined panel details printed across the barrel body in a way that nails the simplified Kenner approach. The black photoreceptor dot on the dome and the olive-gold stripes running down the head into the body tie the whole design together, and I like that they kept the chunky, squared-off leg sculpt faithful to the original vintage mold.

Here’s a closer look at R5-D4 from the back, where you can see how the olive-gold shoulder stripe continues around the dome and down the rear panel in a clean vertical band. The third leg tucked between those chunky feet keeps the vintage silhouette intact, and the small rectangular vent detail sculpted into the lower back of the barrel adds a nice little break to an otherwise smooth surface.

R5-D4’s promotional packaging shot gives him his own golden yellow Kenner-style backer card, with the halftone dot pattern filling the upper half and a silver chrome border framing the entire presentation. His white sensorscope accessory sits beside him in the blister, and the warm gold tones of the card really complement the olive-gold deco on his dome and body panels.

CZ-3’s individual card features a warm orange Kenner-style backer with a film reference photo showing the droid’s heavily segmented metallic plating and insectoid face in full detail against a Tatooine backdrop. The figure itself is cast in a creamy off-white plastic that keeps the simplified five-points-of-articulation sculpt clean and faithful, with subtle strap-like lines crossing the torso and those distinct almond-shaped eye sockets giving the head a slightly eerie, alien quality.

CZ-3’s all-white prototype sculpt reveals every segmented body panel and ribbed joint detail without any color to distract, and those almond-shaped eye sockets look even more pronounced in this monochrome treatment. The sculpt on the torso shows crisscrossing strap details and a slightly tapered waist that gives the droid a surprisingly lanky, insectoid proportionality you don’t always associate with Star Wars droids.

R5-D4 gets a full promotional showcase here in that clean all-white prototype form, with the sculpted panel lines, dome vents, and segmented leg details all reading clearly without any deco to compete with. You can see how the harness-like strap detailing across the barrel and the recessed circular port on the chest carry over from the vintage Kenner tooling, and the silver-gray accent lines tracing the chest harness add just enough contrast to keep the monochrome look from feeling flat.
