McFarlane Toys and G.I. Joe: A Match Made in Toy Heaven
Todd McFarlane's lifelong dream of expanding his toy empire has taken a giant leap forward with an innovative partnership. In a groundbreaking business deal announced recently, McFarlane Toys has joined forces with Hasbro licenses to introduce a captivating new line of 3-inch Page Punchers figures accompanied by comic books.
1. Cobra Commander & Crimson Guard w/Comic (Page Punchers: G.I. Joe) 3" 2-Pack - $19.99 CAD
This exciting collaboration not only fulfills McFarlane's ambition but also offers fans an unparalleled experience. The Page Punchers concept merges storytelling and play, featuring compact yet intricately designed figures packed with comics, making them accessible to kids of all ages. With licenses ranging from DC to Spawn and Pacific Rim, the possibilities are endless.
2. Duke and Snake Eyes w/Comic (Page Punchers: G.I. Joe) 3" 2-Pack - $19.99 CAD
The latest additions to the Page Punchers lineup, featuring iconic G.I. Joe and Transformers characters, are now available for preorder across various toy collector-focused platforms. For just $16.99, enthusiasts can acquire a pack containing two comics, two figures, and a display stand, creating an immersive backdrop for their adventures.
G.I. Joe aficionados can choose from hero and villain packs, including dynamic duos like Duke and Snake Eyes, as well as Cobra Commander and a Crimson Guard. Meanwhile, Transformers enthusiasts can indulge in Autobot packs featuring Bumblebee and Wheeljack, or opt for the epic clash between Optimus Prime and Megatron.
Despite their compact size, each figure boasts six points of articulation, ensuring maximum poseability and playability. And this is just the beginning – the initial agreement also promises exciting releases for Power Rangers and Dungeons & Dragons fans.
While Page Punchers venture into the 7-inch scale for DC characters, potential conflicts with existing agreements may limit similar offerings for Hasbro characters. Nevertheless, the concept continues to gain momentum, captivating both new and seasoned collectors alike.
In addition to providing endless hours of entertainment, the toy-comic fusion holds the promise of inspiring a new generation of readers. While older collectors can still indulge in larger, more intricate collectibles, Page Punchers serve as a gateway to a world where imagination knows no bounds.
Experience the magic of McFarlane Toys and G.I. Joe with the Page Punchers series – where every figure tells a story, and adventure awaits at every turn.
