First Ever Ben 10 Funko Products Revealed (Ben, Heatblast and Swampfire Funko Pop)

After a long time of waiting, Ben 10 finally joins in the Funko toy lines. The first of these reveals are the Ben and Heatblast Vinyl Funko Soda. These figures comes in a collectible can, with the lid having a picture of the character underneath it, so you are basically collecting 3 separate things with this toy line. The figure's style is very different from the traditional Funko Pop art style.

Usually when buying these, there's a Ben figure inside, with the Heatblast variant being a rare figure, called a "Chaser".

Curiously, Heatblast's Omnitrix symbol is green instead of white like in the original series. Also, due to the art style, the green buttons on Ben's Omnitrix are missing. Finally, the picture on the soda depicts the 2016 incarnation of Ben from the reboot, not the original series.

Now onto the next product. Finally, Ben 10 is joining the Funko Pop line-up with their first release being Swampfire from Ben 10: Alien Force.

Swampfire translates well into the Funko Pop art style due to his pupils already being black and his mouth not being that visible when he closes it. The packaging of the box reminds me of Bandai's packaging for the Alien Force figures.

How fitting is it that the first two aliens in Funko's toy lines are the first aliens Ben transformed into in their respective series?

I avoided Funko Pops for a long time but I might have to cop one if I see it. Gonna pass on the Soda ones though, not a fan of how they look.

Hopefully Funko will make more Funko Pops of the Ben 10 aliens and characters. Ben 10 has reached the age where it's considered nostalgic for people, and with no news of a new Ben 10 series coming out anytime soon, any acknowledgement or merch of the Ben 10 franchise is appreciated.

Omni-Metallic Ben 10 Aliens - New Reboot Toys

Pictures of another wave of re-colored Ben 10 alien figures for the reboot has been revealed. This wave is called Omni-Metallic and features Ben's aliens in a metallic paint job. The aliens in this line-up are Diamondhead, XLR8 and Overflow. The accessories that comes with the toys also have a metallic paint job. Check out the images below.

Overflow gets another figure despite not being accessible in the Omnitrix. This isn't the first time Playmates has made additional toys for Overflow, as they had made Out of the Omnitrix and Alien Worlds recolor toys of the Overflow figure.

Strangely, Omni-Metallic Diamondhead's promo image has the blade placed over his head.

These are the first batch of new figures revealed in 2021. As they are merely repaints, they aren't going to be appearing in the show.

Omni-Naut Heatblast now has a larger blaster as well as wings. He has a helmet that covers his head, probably to protect it from going out. He is able to fly, take more hits, survive in space and has a much more powerful fireblast compared to Omni-Kix Heatblast.. His toy description reads:

"It’s an intergalactic inferno with Heatblasts new Omni-Naut armor! This sizzling space Armor enhances Heatblasts fire powers and allows him to fly deep into space. And his flaming fist now packs a powerful, new fireblaster that’ll charbroil any alien enemy! If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the galaxy!"

Omni-Kix Armor Jetray

The toy packaging for the upcoming Omni-Kix Jetray toy has been revealed. On with we got our first official art for Omni-Kix Jetray shooting lasers. His toy's paint job has also been fixed compared to the toy fair.

We also got a bio that explains some of his powers:

When Jetray soars through the air, villains beware! And when he's attached, his powerful Omni-Kix wings transform into giant shields protecting Jetray and anyone else in harm's way. And when he's on the attack, his massive Omni-Kix wings can be used like battering rams!

His armored orange wings can be used as shields, he can also ram it into foes at high speeds. He also retains his neuroshock eye lasers.

Omni-Kix Alien Figure Images and Omnitrix Creator Toy

The 2020 Toy Fair didn't have much new toys for the Ben 10 reboot unlike last year. However, we do have some new images of the Omni-Kix alien figures that is set to come out in the coming months as well as a new Omnitrix toy. Check it out below.

We have an official image of the Omni-Kix Jetray toy. Playmates has fixed up the paint on his Omnitrix symbol. It seems like there isn't any plans for a regular Jetray toy, an alien who debuts in season 4 of the reboot.

The Omni-Kix Jetray figure that was displayed in the 2019 toy fair had his Omnitrix symbol mistakenly painted orange and green. Its very cursed.

New Ben 10 Omni-Gltich Figures Featuring Jetray and Upgrade

Playmates has unveiled two new Omni-Glitch alien figures. One of them features Humungousaur and Diaondhead. While the other features Jetray and, strangely, Upgrade, who hasn't been in the Ben 10 reboot since season 1. Unlike previous releases, these toys don't come with Ben's head.
