We at Noggin Comics weren’t able to travel to the New York Toy Fair this year. It took place on February 14th-17th, 2026 at the Javits Convention Center in New York City. But that doesn’t mean we weren’t adamantly watching all the fantastic toy announcements coming out over the weekend! There was so much news and we are unable to cover everything at the fair, so we will highlight some of our favorite makers and what we feel were a couple of their best showings. 

Let’s start with Marvel Legends, who has plenty of great figures coming down the line. They are continuing their Secret Wars line. Some notable standouts include Maximum Thor, a Venomized Spider-Man, Falcon with Redwing, and Daredevil with a sonar effect. They are also mixing in some lesser known villains, such as Constrictor & Absorbing Man. 

But, by far the biggest character this year was the Hulk. Off the bat they unveiled a new Professor Hulk who is based off of his 90s comic book version. One of the biggest in the line, he comes complete with interchangeable heads with your choosing of glasses, a couple weapon options and my favorite part is the pink bunny slippers that can be removed if that’s not your cup of tea. They also showed off some new Hulk hands made specifically for adults so we can reenact our childhood memories of pretending to be the Hulk and hitting our younger siblings in the face. And, while this was shown off a few months back, the Hulkbuster Punisher is a hefty figure with so many accessories! Any Punisher fan needs to add this to their collection. 

Moving on to NECA, who showed up with a lot of what we expected to see from them. New figures within their multiple Ninja Turtles lines, variants to their multiple horror licenses like Friday the 13th and Terrifier. As well as Fortnite versions of their licensed characters like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Jason Voorhees. Together with all those, they also unveiled two new collaborations this weekend. 

First off, they are doing a line of Ducktales figures. All in a cel Shaded style, we have three figure sets being shown off. Scrooge McDuck, Launchpad, & Gizmo Duck lead this line with each one being paired with either Huey, Dewey or Louie respectively. They each look beautiful and are a must have for any Disney Afternoon fan. They are expected to release in April of this year. 

Secondly, they announced that they have teamed up with McDonalds for multiple Ronald and friends products. Plushies, Figures, figurines. Even what appears to be a Christmas little village set. Although, that one is only in its concept art phase. Food mascot characters are a fairly niche collectible, but important nonetheless. 

McFarlane didn’t disappoint either. As usual they came in with a lot of new Spawn materials. Mostly minifigs, some 6 to 8 inch poseable lines, and resin figures. Which let me say, the resin figures are what really caught my eye. My personal favorite is the Spawn #1 version. But mileage may vary. They also showcased some new figures from TMNT, Marvel Rivals, DC, Hellboy, & even some figures for the NHL. 

There was plenty more to see. Nintendo showed off their Yoshi Hatchimal toy. They also showed off some fidget toys for Pikmin, which for us gamers who have desk jobs, is a must have. Bandai had an anniversary Digivice line with multiple shell casings, Godzilla vs Kong giving us updated figures of multiple monsters within this universe in preparation for the next movie coming soon.

There was almost too much to talk about this year. In a good way! Lot’s to keep an eye out for in the upcoming months. We can’t wait to find these items and more to hit the shelves soon.
