The Hasbro Team was in attendance at Wondercon 2024 with plenty of action-figure news and reveals. We will update this post with any promo images as they are received - these are not due until Monday 1st / Tuesday 2nd of April.
The Transformers reveals were all Studio Series and started with a Deluxe Sunstreaker based on concept art from the Bumblebee movie. In the Gaming Edition, there is a new Sideswipe Deluxe release. Moving up a size to Voyager and the Shockwave from the start of Bumblebee is also incoming. And the Dinobots will be expanded with a Leader Class 86 Movie Swoop. All the Transformers are pre-orders as of the 4th of April 2024.
The Ghostbusters segment kicked off by telling us they were not revealing any new 6-inch Plasma figures. They had two new reveals to show us with a 1/18 scale ECTO-1 based on the original 1984 movie. To go with the ECTO-1, there will be a new line of 1/18 scale in an O-Ring style (as per G.I. Joe) the figures will launch with the original Ghostbusters of Egon, Ray, Peter, and Winston with proton packs and other accessories. More details on these will follow later this year. They will open for pre-order on Ghostbusters Day, June 8th, 2024.
G.I. Joe Reveals featured Classified Series Retro Carded 6-inch figures of Beach Head, Snow Serpent and Cobra Eel. These are available in the Summer of 2024.
The Cobra Ferret ATV and Ferret Scout was revealed in full. This is a Pulse Exclusive, pre-order on the 4th of April and a Summer 2024 release.
The panel ended with a name only reveal (pipeline) of 'Once a Man' Cobra Commander.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
