The Mandalorian and Grogu comes out this month, and new toys for it will keep on coming for a while.

From Lego, the new tie-in hotness is the “Hutt Palace Sentry Droid Showdown” set. With 415 pieces, owners can pit Din and Grogu against the Hutt Cartel’s three-armed sentry and its stud shooter. Once the beat the sentry and open the palace doors, they’ve got one other obstacle in Embo, everyone’s favorite Clone Wars-era bounty hunter. Along with his bowcaster, Embo’s got his own backup in his anooba Keibu.

In his earliest appearances, Embo had another named Marrok, but we know from the Aftermath: Empire’s End novel that one had died before the New Republic era. Canonically, it makes sense that Embo would get a new pet, but this probably also comes from other Star Wars projects like Ahsoka and Maul: Shadow Lord—which, like this movie, count Dave Filoni as a key creative—having an Inquisitor with the same name among their casts.

Newly named space dog aside, the set takes inspirartion from a fight we’ve seen in the final trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu wherein Din fights two sentry droids and Grogu tries to shut one of them down. Fans of the movie could recreate that fight beat for beat, or do their own version—maybe one where Din and Embo are buds, or Grogu solos everyone else. The choice is yours, but you’ll be waiting for a while to make it happen: the movie’s out on May 22, but the set’s available beginning August 1 for £44.99 (or roughly $53).

The Mandalorian and Grogu comes out this month, and new toys for it will keep on…

Spider-Man: Brand New Dayand we’ve got a look at some of its Lego toys.

Revealed a few days ago, buyers can look forward to two sets and one figure based on the film. The first set, “Prison Transport Chase,” comes in 367 pieces and has Spidey going up against Tarantula and Tombstone, with a DODC guard along for the ride. Users can build the transport and have it so that Spider-Man’s trying to stop Tarantula from busting out Tombstone, or he’s fighting both enemies and protecting the guard at the same time. Since we know Spidey fights ninjas in the prison at some point in Brand New Day, think of the toy as a potential appetizer for that setpiece.

Spider-Man vs. Hulk Epic Clash” teams Peter with the strongest Avenger to fight Scorpion, Tarantula, and Boomerang to save a hot dog vendor. A trigger in the building’s rear makes the 534-piece set’s front blast open to reveal the large Hulk figure, and posting sticks will let you put characters on the DODC building’s upper levels to simulate midair fights.

Lastly, we’ve got a Spider-Man Hero Figure. At 813 pieces, you can recreate the hero and use detachable webs so he can swing cinematically. It also comes with a little Spider-Man minifig, helpful if you need to replace one you lost.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is in theaters on July 31. All three of these release on June 1 and will individually cost you $50 for “Prison Transport, $90 for “Spider-Man vs. Hulk”, and $100 for the Spidey figure.
