There’s a solid mix of action figure news to have on your radar today, including one release that requires your attention before the day is over.
The biggest story is Hasbro’s Marvel Legends Marvel vs. Capcom Sentinel, which reaches the end of its made-to-order pre-order window today. We also have new Transformers Studio Series figures reaching U.S. retail, fresh looks at two upcoming Takara Tomy Transformers sets, what appears to be a pair of unannounced Super7 G.I. Joe Ninja Force figures, and an availability update for INART’s Man of Steel Superman.
Here’s what’s worth knowing for September 7.
Marvel Legends Marvel vs. Capcom Sentinel Pre-Orders End Today
If you’ve been considering Hasbro’s Marvel Legends Marvel vs. Capcom Sentinel, today is the day to make your decision.
The made-to-order figure is available exclusively through Hasbro Pulse for $99.99, with the pre-order window scheduled to close September 7, 2026. Hasbro confirms that this release is available only through the pre-order period.
The Sentinel stands approximately 11 inches tall but is designed for display alongside Hasbro’s standard 6-inch Marvel Legends figures.
It comes with 11 pieces, including alternate hands and head parts along with accessories for recreating Sentinel’s signature Rocket Punch attack.
Manufacturer: Hasbro
Franchise: Marvel / Marvel vs. Capcom
Line: Marvel Legends Series
Height: Approximately 11 inches
Price: $99.99
Status: Made-to-Order Pre-Order
Pre-Order Deadline: September 7, 2026
Where to Shop: Hasbro Pulse
This is easily the most time-sensitive action figure story of the day.
Sentinel also makes a lot of sense at this size. At 11 inches, he towers over standard Marvel Legends figures without becoming so enormous that you need to redesign an entire shelf around him.
And if you’re building Hasbro’s growing Marvel gaming collection, the Marvel vs. Capcom design gives you something noticeably different from the comic-inspired Sentinels we’ve seen before.
If you want one, I wouldn’t wait much longer.
Transformers Studio Series Optimus Prime and Cyclonus Arrive at U.S. Retail
There’s also some fresh Transformers hunting to do.
The new Transformers Studio Series Wave 32 Voyager assortment has started appearing at Walmart stores in the United States, with sightings reported in California and Texas.
The wave includes:
- Age of Extinction Optimus Prime
- Cyclonus
Manufacturer: Hasbro
Franchise: Transformers
Line: Studio Series
Product Type: Voyager Class Transforming Action Figures
Status: Beginning to Arrive at U.S. Retail
Retailer Sightings: Walmart
If either of these is on your Transformers list, it’s worth starting to check your local Walmart.
Retail sightings are particularly useful with Transformers because distribution can vary significantly from one area to another. A first U.S. sighting doesn’t mean every Walmart has them yet, but it’s usually a good indication that broader distribution is getting underway.
For ActionFiguresDaily readers in the U.S., this is also a more immediately useful availability story than some of the international Transformers sightings happening this weekend.
Takara Tomy Reveals Transformers Dinobot Island Part 1 with Grimlock and Ratchet
Takara Tomy has provided a much better look at its upcoming Transformers Dramatic Capture Series “Dinobot Island, Part 1” set.
The two-pack brings together Grimlock and Ratchet, using premium redecos based on their Studio Series molds.
The latest promotional imagery shows both characters in robot and alternate modes along with the included blast-effect accessories. Japanese pre-orders are scheduled to begin September 9, 2026.
Manufacturer: Takara Tomy
Franchise: Transformers
Line: Dramatic Capture Series
Characters: Grimlock and Ratchet
Product Type: Transforming Action Figure 2-Pack
Price: ¥17,050
Status: Pre-Orders Opening Soon
Japan Pre-Order Date: September 9, 2026
This is one of the more interesting Transformers sets coming out of Takara Tomy right now.
Rather than simply putting two existing figures into a box, the Dramatic Capture Series is built around recreating recognizable moments from the original animated series with more premium-looking treatments and scene-specific accessories.
And putting Grimlock and Ratchet together gives this set a particularly strong G1 display presence.
If you collect imported Transformers, put September 9 on your calendar.
Transformers New Legends Delta Magnus Primal Vanguard Set Gets New Look
Takara Tomy also released new promotional imagery for its upcoming Transformers New Legends NL-08 Delta Magnus Primal Vanguard Set.
This one contains three figures:
- Delta Magnus
- Primal Vanguard Trooper Powedrive
- Agent Arcee
Delta Magnus is a redeco of the Studio Series 86 Ultra Magnus mold, while Powedrive uses the Beachcomber mold and Agent Arcee is based on the Titans Return Titan Master Arcee figure.
The latest images give us a clearer look at all three characters in their different configurations and how they work together as a set.
Manufacturer: Takara Tomy
Franchise: Transformers
Line: New Legends
Product: NL-08 Delta Magnus Primal Vanguard Set
Figures: Delta Magnus, Primal Vanguard Trooper Powedrive and Agent Arcee
Status: Pre-Orders Opening Soon
Japan Pre-Order Date: September 9, 2026
Price: Not yet confirmed
Delta Magnus is the obvious centerpiece here.
If you like Diaclone-inspired Transformers redecos or simply want another use of the excellent Studio Series 86 Ultra Magnus design, this is a much more interesting release than a straightforward color swap because Takara is building an entire three-character set around the concept.
Pre-orders are also scheduled to begin in Japan on September 9.
Super7 G.I. Joe Ninja Force Destro and Quick Kick Figures Apparently Leak
It looks like Super7 may be expanding its G.I. Joe ReAction+ Ninja Force collection.
Images have surfaced showing what appear to be previously unannounced Ninja Force Destro and Quick Kick ReAction+ figures.
There is one important caveat:
Super7 has not officially announced either figure yet.
The images reportedly originated from listings on Shopee before circulating among G.I. Joe collectors.
Manufacturer: Super7
Franchise: G.I. Joe
Line: ReAction+ / Ninja Force
Characters: Destro and Quick Kick
Status: Unannounced / Leaked
Price: Not Confirmed
Release Date: Not Confirmed
Retailer: Not Confirmed
Super7 already has Ninja Force Snake Eyes and Cobra Commander in its ReAction+ lineup, both priced at $25 through its retail partners.
That makes Destro and Quick Kick a logical expansion of the theme, particularly Quick Kick.
But I would not assume these will use the same retailer strategy as the existing releases until Super7 actually announces them.
For now, consider these unconfirmed upcoming figures rather than official releases.
If the leaked images are legitimate—and the finished carded presentation certainly makes them worth watching—Super7 should hopefully give us the full details soon.
More New Transformers Figures Hit Retail
The U.S. Studio Series sightings aren’t the only Transformers figures reaching shelves.
A much larger assortment of recent releases has also started appearing at retail in the UK, including:
- Age of the Primes Powerglide
- Age of the Primes Commander Onslaught
- Studio Series More Than Meets the Eye Hot Rod
- Studio Series More Than Meets the Eye Megatron
- Studio Series Age of Extinction Grimlock
- Studio Series Transformers One Orion Pax
- Studio Series Rise of the Beasts Scourge reissue
The figures have been spotted through retailers including Forbidden Planet and Smyths.
If you’re collecting the current Transformers lines outside the U.S., there’s clearly a substantial amount of new inventory entering distribution right now.
For U.S. collectors, I’d primarily treat these sightings as an early indication of what to watch for as availability continues to expand.
INART Man of Steel Superman 1/6 Pre-Order Window Closes
INART’s direct pre-order window for its premium Man of Steel Superman 1/6-scale collectible figure has now closed.
The official INART store currently shows the figure as sold out following a pre-order period that ran from August 7 through September 7.
Superman was offered for $365, or with a $92 deposit followed by a $273 balance plus shipping.
The approximately 12.8-inch figure includes:
- Two head sculpts with articulated eyes
- Nine interchangeable hands
- Kryptonian suit
- Draped cape
- Wired cape
- Kryptonian Command Key
- Broken handcuffs
- Superman bust
- Support stand
- Flight stand
INART currently estimates first-batch shipping for Q2 2027.
Manufacturer: INART
Franchise: DC / Man of Steel
Character: Superman
Scale: 1:6
Price: $365
Status: INART Direct Pre-Order Sold Out
Estimated First-Batch Shipping: Q2 2027
If you missed the direct ordering window, that doesn’t necessarily mean the figure is completely gone.
Your next move is to watch authorized specialty retailers for remaining allocations or cancellations rather than immediately turning to the secondary market.
For sixth-scale DC collectors, this is definitely one to keep tracking.
What to Watch Next
September 9 is shaping up to be an important day for Transformers collectors, with Japanese pre-orders scheduled to begin for both Dramatic Capture Series Dinobot Island Part 1 and the New Legends Delta Magnus Primal Vanguard Set.
I’ll also be watching for an official announcement from Super7 regarding the apparent Ninja Force Destro and Quick Kick figures.
And if you want the Marvel Legends Marvel vs. Capcom Sentinel, don’t forget that its made-to-order window closes today. Hasbro Pulse still lists the figure as available for pre-order as of this afternoon.
