TMNT and Deadpool Get Awesome 1/6th Scale Figures From Mondo | Comic Con 2026 | IGN

TMNT and Deadpool Get Awesome 1/6th Scale Figures From Mondo | Comic Con 2026 | IGN

Mondo has been making cool collectibles for ages, but this year’s showing at SDCC blew us away. The Mondoverse line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures imagine what it might be like if the live-action Jim Henson movies had continued, our pal Peter “AttackPeter” Santa-Maria walks us through the extensive headcanon they’ve made up. Meanwhile, it’s easy to forget that Deadpool’s first non-comics appearance was on the original X-Men The Animated Series, for a couple brief cameos, but Mondo turned those brief glimpses into an incredibly funny collectible that pays homage to the classic cartoon, but also lampoons Mondo’s own SDCC-exclusive Wolverine from a few years back, and Mondo’s Hector Arce walks us through how they got Marvel’s blessing to get so weird with this particular collectible.

Republic Records: Kids & Family Releases New Bobblys EP 'Summer Club'

REPUBLIC RECORDS: KIDS & FAMILY RELEASES NEW BOBBLYS EP SUMMER CLUB TODAY

FEATURING NEW SINGLE “OCEAN WAVE RAVE”

LISTEN HERE

SUMMER CLUB EP Artwork

NEW YORK, NY (July 24th, 2026) – Today, Republic Records: Kids & Family releases the brand new EP from BOBBLYS titled SUMMER CLUB, available now on all streaming platforms. Led by the new single “Ocean Wave Rave,” the six-song collection captures the excitement of summer through a soundtrack made for singing, dancing, and making memories together.

Following their debut EP BLAST OFF! and first-ever introduction with the song “Cat Party” in Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie, BOBBLYS return with six new original songs celebrating everything from sunny beach days to Latin-inspired songs about mangoes. Featuring “Summertime,” “Sunblock,” “Dance Moves,” and more, SUMMER CLUB continues to build the musical world of BOBBLYS with catchy songs designed for kids and families to enjoy together.

“From the beginning, BOBBLYS has been about creating music that feels silly, fresh, and genuinely exciting for families,” said Bree Bowles, Senior Vice President, Republic Records: Kids & Family. “SUMMER CLUB is full of songs that capture the energy of the season, and Ryan Crego and Alex Geringas continue to create music that kids connect with.”

“Summer is one of those seasons where every day feels like an adventure,” said Ryan Crego. “We wanted these songs to reflect that feeling, whether it’s spending the day outside, dancing with your friends, or just making the most of being together. My kids were once again our toughest critics, and if they kept asking to hear a song again, we knew we had something.”

“One of my favorite things about making music for BOBBLYS is that we get to write songs that families can actually experience together,” said Alex Geringas. “The goal is always to create music that’s fun first. If kids are singing these songs at the beach, in the car, or at home all summer long, we’ve done our job.”

Journeying from outer space, the BOBBLYS have arrived on Earth with the same boundless curiosity as a child. Their endless questions—from “What is a banana?” to learning the ABCs—are transformed into irresistibly fun, upbeat songs that spark imagination and get little feet dancing. By seeing our world through fresh eyes, the BOBBLYS create the perfect musical adventure, turning every moment of discovery into a shared celebration for curious little minds. Since launching in 2025, BOBBLYS has continued to grow through original music inspired by curiosity, imagination, and everyday adventures.

'Winx Club: The Magic is Back' Part 2 to Premiere on Netflix on July 28

Winx Club: The Magic is Back - PART 2 | Official Trailer ✨ Winx Club Official

The official trailer of Winx Club: The Magic is Back – Part 2 is finally here!

Bloom’s journey to uncover her true origins continues on Netflix July 28 with 6 brand-new episodes!

The final 7 episodes are coming on fall 2026!

'Winx Club: The Magic Is Back' Part 2 Poster

Winx Club: The Magic Is Back [Rainbow]

Six new episodes of Winx Club: The Magic Is Back, the CGI reimagining of the globally popular animation franchise, will premiere on Netflix Tuesday, July 28. Produced by Rainbow, the next installment brings heightened stakes, new threats and a fresh remix of the fan-favorite theme “Forever Winx,” performed by Virginia Bocelli (daughter of renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli). The official Part 2 trailer was unveiled today.

First launched in 2004, Winx Club became a global animation phenomenon, captivating a generation of fans with its blend of magic, friendship, music and fashion. Reimagined with 3D CG animation and a contemporary visual style, Winx Club: The Magic Is Back is aimed at both longtime fans and a new generation of viewers discovering the series for the first time.

The series follows Bloom, an ordinary girl from Earth who discovers she is a fairy in possession of an ancient and mysterious power: the Dragon Flame. After enrolling at the prestigious Alfea School for Fairies and Witches, Bloom meets the fairies who become her closest allies — together forming the Winx Club, a team of young fairies devoted to protecting the Magical Dimension. Along the way, the six heroines learn that true strength lies not only in magic, but in courage, empathy and determination.

Part 2 Synopsis: In these six new episodes, Bloom returns to Gardenia in search of answers about her past — but the Trix strike first, and Bloom’s parents vanish. Stripped of her powers, Bloom teams up with the Winx and Hunter to track down her parents and recover the Dragon Flame. Meanwhile, the villainous Vexius manipulates Damien into turning against his own sister, and Tecna’s malfunctioning magic sends the team to Zenith — straight into an ambush by Damien and his army of Omega monster.

As Vexius’ dark magic descends on Alfea, the Winx must master an ancient power to save their school. The instalment builds to a thrilling finale, “Into the Woods,” in which Bloom is paired with Diaspro for a critical test – one she sabotages with unexpecte d help from the Trix. As secrets unravel and the battles intensify, the Winx must find a way to work together to save the fate of the Magical Dimension.

Ahead of the new episodes, Rainbow is also launching Winx Songs Universe, the most comprehensive Winx Club music collection ever released, bringing together the franchise’s complete catalog of more than 450 songs across YouTube, alongside tracks on Spotify and other major streaming platforms. Available globally now on YouTube, the collection invites fans to relive, or discover for the first time, the enchanting soundtrack.

Winx Club was created by Rainbow’s Founder & CEO, Iginio Straffi. Distributed across more than 190 countries since 2004, the franchise now encompasses nine seasons of the original animated series, two animated co-productions with Netflix (World of Winx), two Netflix Original live-action series (Fate: The Winx Saga), three theatrical features and four TV movies.
