The best SDCC toy announcements 2023, from X-Men '97 to Pokemon

gamesradar.com:

Although San Diego Comic-Con 2023 wasn't exactly what we were expecting this year, all the new SDCC toys and action figures that were announced still managed to impress. Or weird us out. Often at the same time, actually.

Everything from Marvel Legends to Funko delivered cool collectibles for this year's event, and while some were to be expected (more additions to Star Wars The Vintage Collection, for example), others took us totally by surprise. SDCC toys of Steven Spielberg shooting Jurassic Park? A Magicarp made up of Mega bricks that flops about? I mean, sure. Why not? 

Because a lot was unveiled, I've whittled the list down to my favorite SDCC toys, collectibles, and action figures right here.  

Hasbro's been gradually delving deeper into the X-Men Animated Series roster, and now it's created a new wave for the upcoming X-Men '97. And dear lord, these action figures are good-looking. Along with classic 1990s Gambit and Rogue (read: the best ones), Wolverine, Magneto, Storm and Bishop all look incredible. From shots on the show-floor, they're just as handsome in person too.

Unfortunately, we don't know when these are hitting shelves or how much they'll cost. However, Marvel Legends marketer Dan Yung noted in a reply on his Twitter account that we could get more info next week.

Mega is a rival to those classic Danish bricks seen in the best Lego sets, and it's been used to create kits for everything from Gyarados to Charmander. Now comes a quasi-sequel (or should that be prequel?) to the former - Magicarp. It's a gloriously goofy idea and comes with a handle on the base so that you can make the Poke-fish flop around. Wonderful.

You can pre-order it direct from Mattel for $65.
