The New York Toy Fair definitely made its mark in 2017, announcing tons of great new stuff, including Spider-Man: Homecoming LEGO sets, Wonder Woman action figures, and new Transformers for The Last Knight.

But with so many new items being finally seeing the light of day, it's hard to keep track of everything from each comapny.

We're here to highlight some of the best new things that maybe you missed out on. Whether that be Funko POPS!, Kotobukiya figures and statues, McFarlane Toys, or NECA figures.

These are some of our favorite offerings from some great figure and collectible manufactures. They range from old cartoons like Darkwing Duck, contemporary film classics like Kill Bill, and forgotten (but wonderful) comic crossovers like Batman/Aliens.

So click through the slideshow to check out some of our favorite offerings from this year's New York Toy Fair!

Darkwing Duck Funko POP! Vinyl Figures

A lot of new entries in Funko's addictive line of POP! vinyl figures were announced, but were any as cool as Darkwing Duck? "Let's Get Dangerous," indeed.

Darkwing Duck has been on a bit of a comeback lately, and it's always exciting to see any new merchandise commemorating the '90s animation classic.

And if DuckTales can make a comeback, so can Darkwing. Let's just hope these Funko offerings are the first in a long line of products to introduce a whole new generation to the anthropomorphic superhero.

So far Funko has only released images of their prototype designs, but the figures include Darkwing Duck, Gosalyn Mallard, and Launchpad McQuack.

No word on when they're set to be released, but they should be out later this year.

Kotobukiya Kill Bill Bishuojo Statue

Kotobukiya revealed many new offerings in for their 2017 lineup, including quite a few ARTFX statues like Deadpool, Jason from Friday the 13th Part 3, and a lot of DC Villains, but one definitely takes the cake.

The company announced the newest entry in their Bishuojo line, featuring The Bride from Kill Bill Vol. 1.

The announcement seems to hint that more characters are on the way, but this first one features Beatrix in her classic yellow jumpsuit when she takes on Gogo and the Crazy 88.

It's one of the most memorable scenes in Quentin Tarantino's two-part classic. And now you get to commemorate it on your shelf in the way Kotobukiya does best.

The 12 piece statue will retail for $74.99 and should be ready for purchase in May.

McFarlane Toys Commando Spawn

McFarlane Toys' mastermind Todd McFarlane announced a new Spawn figure on Facebook live.

The Spawn Commando figure features all of the details and articulation that fans of McFarlane toes have come to expect. He wears a bandana across his face reminiscent of WildStorm's Grifter, sporting a bad ass gun as well.

In fact, he's covered in weapons, with a gun holster strapped to one leg, a bunch of shells strapped to the other, a bandolier loaded with bullets across his chest, grenades on his waste, and a big sniper rifle attached to his back.

McFarlane didn't announce a release date or a price point for this new figure, but he teased that it would be coming soon to celebrate the character's 25th anniversary.

Last but certainly not least, NECA announced another entry in their series of Alien figures, but this one is a bit of a treat.

They're bringing the Jokerized Xenomorph as well as a Batman figure in a new two-pack to commemorate the Batman/Aliens crossover.

The figures employ all of the details inherent to the NECA line, including over 20 points of articulation and unique design elements such as Batman's cloth cape and the Xenomorph's bendable tail.

This two-pack honors the Dark Horse and DC Comics crossover classic and marks the first entry in NECA's newly announced Versus line. It is set to be released in July.
