Toybox REVIEW: Transformers Studio Series MTMTE Collection Hot Rod

Release Date: April 2026

RRP: $34.99/£34.99

It's strange to think that back when the Studio Series first started tackling characters from Transformers: The Movie the film was celebrating its 35th anniversary, and now here we are five years later celebrating its 40th. In that time the line has gone from strength to strength, but some of those first releases still remain its best. And since you can't really celebrate its anniversary without its lead character, this was the perfect time for Hasbro to roll out Studio Series MTMTE Collection Hot Rod. Released as a Target exclusive in North America as per the rest of the MTMTE Collection capsule, this new version of the turbo-revving young punk features a new movie-accurate colour scheme as well as brand new accessories to separate him from the previous release.

Toybox REVIEW: S.H. Figuarts Wolverine (Gamerverse)

Release Date: June 2026

RRP: 9900 yen

Marvel vs Capcom fever continues over at Bandai Tamashii Nations with the third release in its revamped Marvel Gamerverse line-up - S.H. Figuarts Wolverine (Gamerverse)! As the only character to appear in all of the original six Capcom 2D fighting games (X-Men: Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men vs Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom and Marvel vs Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes) as well as Marvel vs Capcom 3, Wolverine was perhaps the most obvious choice to join the line next. Much like previous releases Cyclops and Spider-Man, Wolverine is retail release figure that mixes up the characters' traditional comic book looks with video game aesthetics.
