The best SDCC toy reveals you probably missed, from Marvel to Star Wars

SDCC toys — (Image credit: Hasbro, Funko)

There were so many cool announcements at this year's SDCC that it was easy to overlook the smorgasbord of action figures, toys, and Star Wars replicas revealed during the event. Because a great deal of these were awesome and it'd be a crying shame to miss them, we've listed a few of our favorite reveals below. We're just doing our duty, really.

That includes everything from Star Wars (including this ridiculously good-looking new Darth Vader Lightsaber) to Power Rangers, not to mention our first look at the Ironheart costume from Wakanda Forever, so prepare yourself and your wallet. These action figures from SDCC are taking no prisoners, and we've had to resist putting more than a few in our online basket.

Speaking of which, we've also included where to get your hands on them. Many are up for pre-order now, so you can check out how to grab the best SDCC toys from 2022 here.

Funko POP! Ironheart MK1 | $11.99 at Zavvi
Releases October 31 2022 - Riri Williams is making her debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but it was Funko that gave us our first look at her costume (all we'd seen up to now was leaked concept art). It's an industrial, rudimentary suit that has the same sort of energy as Tony's original armor, and it features exposed wiring to go with multiple thrusters, a cannon of some sort, and an arc reactor that looks a lot like the one Tony used in Endgame. This figure captures her in flight and is much more dynamic than many other Funko POPs, so it's a favorite of ours from SDCC '22. See the other Wakanda Forever Funko figures here.

UK price: £11.99 at Zavvi

Star Wars The Black Series Darth Vader Force FX Elite Lightsaber | $278.99 at Zavvi
Releases November 1 2022 - Oh Hasbro, you know the way to our hearts. The latest Black Series prop (following on from a new Darth Vader helmet and Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber, not to mention a Third Sister Inquisitor lightsaber) is the Dark Lord of the Sith's weapon. It features premium decoration, authentic sound effects, a removable kyber crystal, stand, and a more advanced blade. This impresses with clash, wall-cutting, and duel effects.

UK price: £289.99 at Zavvi

Marvel Legends Beast | $33.99 at Zavvi
Releases May 31 2023 - Based on the character's appearance in The Uncanny X-Men (and the '97 Animated Series), this is a nostalgic take on what is arguably Beast's most iconic look. Aside from the retro packaging, this one comes with lots of fun accessories; there's a lab coat, his signature spectacles, and some vials for him to ponder over. You're also getting an alternate head and hands in case you want more of an action pose.

UK price: £27.99 at Zavvi

Star Wars The Black Series Luke Skywalker | $24.99 at Zavvi
Releases May 31 2023 - The Jedi Master's arrival at the end of Mando season two set the internet alight when it aired back in 2020, and we're finally getting a figure based on that appearance. He comes with a removable cloak and hood, an ignited lightsaber that can be held in a combat pose, and a lightsaber hilt you're able to clip to his belt. With the hood up, it captures the mood of those scenes perfectly.

UK price: £25.99 at Zavvi

Power Rangers Lightning Collection Metallic White Ranger | $27.99 at Hasbro Pulse
Like so many kids who grew up in the 1990s, we were obsessed with Power Rangers. And it didn't get much better than this guy. Based on Tommy Oliver in metallic armor "created especially for battle against the Tenga Warriors", it has more than 20 points of articulation and comes with more than a few extras (a swappable head, bonus hands, the Saba Sword, Combined Zeo Crystal, and blast effects). It perfectly captures the White Ranger's on-screen look.

UK price: £26.99 at Hasbro Pulse

Star Wars The Vintage Collection Boba Fett's Starship | $199.99 at Zavvi
Releases May 1 2023 - Hasbro's vehicle range is always impressive, and this new take on Boba Fett's Starship (formerly known as Slave-1) from The Book of Boba Fett doesn't disappoint. From promo shots, it has a fantastic paint job with oodles of detail, and you can open up the back, cockpit, and side for posing with Vintage Collection figures. While we're on the subject, Boba Fett in his Tython outfit is included within the box.

UK price: £249.99 at Zavvi

Star Wars The Vintage Collection Cal Kestis | $14.99 at Zavvi
Releases July 31 2023 - Modeled on the character as he appears in the Jedi: Fallen Order sequel (Survivor), this Vintage Collection action figure tells us a surprising amount about the video game itself. There's a blaster on his hip, for starters. Does that mean we'll be able to shoot our way out of trouble as well as laying into Stormtroopers with our lightsaber? Anyway, we're big fans of Cal in this edgy "I'm gonna cosplay Han Solo and grow some scruffy stubble" phase.

UK price: £16.99 at Zavvi

I've been writing about games in one form or another since 2012, but these days you'll find me managing GamesRadar+'s tabletop gaming and toy coverage (I spend my time here handling everything from board game reviews to the latest Lego news). I've also been obsessed with Warhammer since the 1990s, and love nothing more than running tabletop RPGs like D&D as a Dungeon Master.
