SKULLPANDA × DUCATI 1/6 Action Figure goes live
Designer toy giant POP MART has opened orders for the SKULLPANDA × DUCATI 1/6 action figure, with the online release scheduled for 13 November 2025 at 18:00 (local site time). The figure blends SKULLPANDA’s stylised character design with Ducati branding and comes in a premium, display-ready package. Pop Mart
Why it matters: This is a perfect storm of designer toy culture and real-world motorsport branding, exactly the kind of crossover that tends to age well in collections.
Collector tip: Expect this to move fast internationally; if you’re on the fence, treat this more like a timed drop than an evergreen product.
S.H.Figuarts Tony Tony Chopper – Drum Island pre-orders open
Bandai’s S.H.Figuarts line is adding Tony Tony Chopper – Drum Island from One Piece. Pre-orders open 13 November 2025 at 16:00 (GMT+9), with a price around ¥4,400 (often discounted by retailers). hobby-genki.com
The figure is part of the ongoing push to give more Straw Hat crew members high-articulation, screen-accurate releases.
Collector tip: S.H.Figuarts One Piece figures are notorious for going out of stock and then spiking on the aftermarket. If you want a clean, first-run Chopper, pre-order rather than waiting for restocks.
METAL BUILD Kamen Rider Zero-One & CHOGOKIN Astro Bot
Tamashii Nations has revealed two high-end pieces that open for pre-order today or very shortly:
- METAL BUILD Kamen Rider Zero-One
- Pre-orders: 13 November 2025
- Release: May 2026
- A premium, heavily engineered figure that fuses the CHOGOKIN metal heritage with the modern METAL BUILD design aesthetic. 魂ウェブ
- CHOGOKIN Astro Bot & Dual Speeder
- A transformable robo/vehicle set, with pre-orders opening 13 November 2025 at 16:00 JST ahead of a June 2026 release. toynewsi.com
Collector tip: METAL BUILD and CHOGOKIN pieces are effectively “high-end statues you can still pose.” If you’re into Kamen Rider or original mecha design, these are the ones to budget for early.
Movies & TV (Superhero, Horror & Pop Culture)
Betty Boop gets a low-budget horror reimagining
Following the public-domain horror trend kicked off by Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, a new Betty Boop horror film is in the works, giving the classic 1930s cartoon icon a twisted, low-budget slasher makeover. First-look images and details dropped today, confirming this is the latest in the “classic character, horror spin” wave. ComicBookMovie.com
Why it matters: This taps into both horror fandom and nostalgia collectors. If the movie finds a cult audience, expect themed posters, shirts, and maybe even boutique figure runs.
Death Among the Pines trailer and poster debut
Flickering Myth Films has released the official trailer and poster for Death Among the Pines, a new suspense thriller leaning into chilling rural horror vibes. The film follows a group facing dark secrets in an isolated woodland setting, with the trailer emphasising atmosphere over jump scares. Flickering Myth
Why it matters: Smaller thrillers like this often fly under the radar but build strong cult status with horror audiences, especially if they land on genre-friendly streamers later.
Stephen King’s 11.22.63 quietly vanishes from streaming
A feature today points out that 11.22.63, the TV adaptation of Stephen King’s time-travel novel about the JFK assassination, has become hard to watch: it’s no longer easily available on its original streaming home and is awkward to find legally. ComicBook.com
Why it matters: It’s a reminder that even high-profile King adaptations can slip out of the streaming spotlight, which pushes collectors back toward physical media (Blu-ray, box sets) if they want reliable access.

Venom Unleashed #13 – MJ-Venom & Carnage futures
AIPT’s latest deep dive into Venom Unleashed #13 showcases big symbiote swings:
- It teases MJ-Venom’s future in the symbiote corner of the Marvel Universe.
- It also sets up the next chapter for Carnage, with exclusive art and commentary from editor Jordan D. White. AIPT
Why it matters: Symbiote books often quietly introduce designs or plot beats that become fan favourites (and later, figures/statues). This issue looks like one of those “don’t sleep on it” entries for Venom and Carnage fans.
