Batman appears in two new products announced in 2026: a MAFEX figure shown at Medicom Toy's 30th anniversary exhibition and a Nintendo Switch 2 port of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight set for September release.
Two 2026 stories cover Batman's presence in collectible figures and video games. At Medicom Toy's 30th anniversary exhibition in Tokyo, which ran July 25-30, 2026, the company displayed a new MAFEX Batman figure alongside other DC characters. The sofubi lineup also included a Batman figure from the SUPER MANGA POWERS line, specifically a Batman: Hush version. The exhibition was free and open to the public at Space O in Omotesando Hills.
In video games, Sega announced on June 4, 2026, that the Nintendo Switch 2 version of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will launch on September 18, 2026, priced at 7,678 yen for physical and digital copies. The game was already available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Pre-orders include a The Dark Knight Returns-inspired Batsuit as a bonus. The two stories do not connect to each other; they represent separate product announcements involving the Batman license in different media.

Medicom Toy opened its 30th anniversary exhibition at Space O in Omotesando Hills, Tokyo, on July 25, 2026, running through July 30. The event, which is free to attend, features a larger-than-usual lineup of new products across the company's major lines, including MAFEX, BE@RBRICK, UDF, and sofubi figures. The MAFEX series saw its first public display of a Neo action figure from "The Matrix," alongside new entries based on Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and Star Wars characters. The sofubi lineup added figures from the SUPER MANGA POWERS line, including Superman (Batman: Hush version) and Spider-Man (Classic Costume version), as well as new X-Men, Batman, and Kamen Rider figures. The UDF series announced a reissue of the sold-out Grogu figure from "The Mandalorian." Commemorative items for sale include a BE@RBRICK of Toshio Aoshima from "Bayside Shakedown," sofubi figures of Moyoco Anno and Hideaki Anno from "Kantoku Fuyukitodoki," a sofubi of Yosuke Kubozuka as King from "I.W.G.P.," and a "Chatty Ijirii-kun" figure by Ijirii Okada.
