Megalopolis Toys has added more iconic brands to their upcoming 2021 line of classic/retro action figures; Earthworm Jim and Clay Fighter from Interplay Entertainment; and Battletoads, Banjo Kazooie, Conkers Bad Fur Day and Perfect Dark from Microsoft’s Rare Ltd Studios.

In this relaunch, Megalopolis Toys is developing 6” scale sculpts of characters inspired by classic gaming archives from Interplay Entertainment and Rare Limited in partnership with top industry design talent. The Megalopolis:Premium DNA line will also include figures from Madballs and Barnyard Commandos both owned by Cloudco Entertainment, which are already in development. Each of the respective toy lines will start accepting pre-orders Q3 and Q4 2020 and will be sold direct-to-consumer through Megalopolis.toys, the Megalopolis Toys mobile app and select specialty retailers Summer 2021.

“We are ecstatic to be adding these incredible properties to our growing catalog. Fans of Battletoads have been asking ‘where are the toys’ for decades, and we are answering that call with an expansive selection of characters and styles that will satiate the appetite of even the most diehard fans.

In addition, our partnership with Interplay is giving us the chance to re-imagine Earthworm Jim as a modernized, highly articulated collector line. This amazing property has been ripe for an updated line for years. We will also now have the chance to bring the full catalog of characters from across the entire Clay Fighter franchise into it’s first ever toy line!”

-Ben Westover, Creative Director/Co-Founder of Megalopolis

“We have sought out cult classic titles for passionate, underserved fan bases to give them the products they’ve wanted for years. When they see the level of detail in the sculpture, paint applications, articulation, and packaging of these figures, as well as the depth of character selection, we know they will be just as thrilled as we are, because we are as big of fans of these properties as anybody! ” – Matt Westover, President/Co-Founder of Megalopolis

“I’m delighted to be tasked with finding these great retro properties and watching them come to life once again as action figures. There will undoubtedly be many delighted fans!” adds Marsha Armitage-Bristow, president of Brand Brilliant Consulting, who brokered the deals.

The second wave of Madball figures from Premium DNA Toys are now available for pre-order from our sponsor BigBadToyStore.com. This wave of 6" figures include Swine Sucker, Clang Fang, Wolfbreath and Slobulus.

Thanks, I have heard some people complain about business they've had with them but it felt like every store gets that kind of treatment. I think ive had many people complain about stores ive had no problem dealing with and so on. Hopefully they recover from all that and can get these things in production.

yeah they did address the issues in an interview with Pixel Dan a few months back, but it seems they have not resolved much currently, they said there was a number of factors that have slowed them down, I do hope as well they get over this because I always liked Megalopolis, and I also want to get my Madball figures once they drop.

I don't know if it's right if I slander them here (since they have not caused me any personal problems as of recent), probably better to just google it.

or I mean...well

I feel like it is likely because of the current issues they have been having, and potentially sorting out that situation?

They should, it just went up so it will take some time for BBTS to get it for pre-order.

Alright well I'm holding out and hoping, because I really want that figure. Come on BBTS!

Ah see I already purchased the initial figures from Megalopolis, at the point I did I was unware of the current situation, and had never had any problems with them at the time, so I hope it all works for me in the end , the figures are not suppose to be out until next spring, guess I just gotta see.

also seems BBTS doesn't have this figure available I'm worried it may not be, and I feel as though I don't want to risk missing out on even ever getting it, it's all a tough decision.

They should, it just went up so it will take some time for BBTS to get it for pre-order.

Megalopolis doesn't sponsor this page anymore?. Maybe it has more to do with it and not because someone hates the company, although I must admit that the lines they've shown so far haven't had a huge acceptance in the collecting circles that I frequent.

Megalopolis isnt currently a sponsor, and hasn't been for a few months, but that doesnt have any baring on my comment. They've been having a number of pretty publicly noted issues with shipping and such over the last several months. They've even made posts about it on their own site and FB page. I hope they in fact can recover from their recent issues and make right the orders that people have had issues with, but if you pre-order them from BBTS, and for whatever reason Megalopolis can't deliver, well then BBTS will simply cancel the orders but you wouldn't loose anything.

The figures are made by Megalopolis, so BBTS is just ordering them directly as they would product for any toy company, but it just gives you an added layer of production during these what appears to be trying times for Megalopolis.
