SPIDER-MAN BRAND NEW DAY 4K UHD + BLU-RAY™ COMBO STEELBOOK
It's a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see.

NYCC 2026: Open to Interpretation Custom Show at Tenacious Booth

NYCC 2026 Tenacious Toys Open to Interpretation Show
Under the bright lights and amidst the biggest crowds on the East Coast, there are a few very limited and highly coveted square feet inside glass cases. NYCC is a huge show with a quarter million sets of eyeballs that can view an artist's work... if they can place it there.

Most never get the opportunity. 

That's why Alex Rivera (Playful Gorilla) suggested an open-call custom toy show to Tenacious CEO Benny Kline. They pounced quickly, orchestrating the call out to artists through the Tenacious Instagram. Everything happened within 24 hours after that post: 30+ artists secured their spots in the show, and in the big Tenacious glass case at Booth 1771. The best possible spot for an emerging artist at NYCC!

NYCC 2026: THE COLONY by GUERS @ Booth 1771

THE COLONY by GUERS
GUERS Debuts THE COLONY: 100 Hand-Cast Resin Beavers, Dropping Oct 10 and On Display at NYCC

Montreal-based independent artist Zine launches GUERS, an art toy brand, with the debut drop THE COLONY: an 11" hand-cast, hand-painted resin figure in two editions, Mocha and Obsidian, limited to 50 numbered pieces each.

GUERS is built around a single mascot, a rounded cartoon beaver with white gloves, instead of a new character every release. Future drops will keep building on the same character, including new poses and a secret rare chase. The beaver is a builder by nature, constantly shaping its own environment, which fits a first release made entirely from scratch.

SECRET IDENTITY Author Teams with Popular Podcaster for THE FORGOTTEN FIVE

Image Comics THE FORGOTTEN FIVE 01
Los Angeles Times Book Prize winning writer Alex Segura (Secret Identity) and acclaimed writer and Best Issue Ever podcaster Sara Century will team up with fan-favorite artists Pat Kennedy (Archie) and Dean Kotz (Rocketeer) for a fresh new spin on superheroes in the upcoming The Forgotten Five. This all-new, ongoing series was first announced in an exclusive scoop at CBR last week and is set to launch this December from Image Comics.

"The Forgotten Five is a potent blend of all the kinds of comics and adventures Sara, Pat, Dean, and I loved growing up—with a decidedly modern twist,” said Segura. “The kind of long-running series with simmering subplots, outcast teen angst, and terrifying powers that we were addicted to as readers ourselves. If the New Mutants were an indie comic, you'd have The Forgotten Five."
