The release of Ant-Man and the Wasp is right around the corner (well, for some countries, anyway), and to celebrate Hot Toys has unveiled 1/6 scale collectible figures of Scott Lang as Ant-Man and Hope van Dyne as The Wasp. Directed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man and the Wasp sees its titular heroes going on a rescue mission to try and find Hope's mother, Janet van Dyne, in the Quantum Realm, while also dealing with the new threat of a villain who can walk through walls: Ghost.
Although we saw the Wasp costume in Ant-Man's post-credits scene, this movie marks the first time we'll actually see it in action - which, for Disney, means another golden merchandising opportunity. We can probably expect to see all sorts of Wasp toys on sale soon enough, but Hot Toys' sculpts are among the most highly-anticipated collectibles because of the level of detail that goes into the builds.

One week out from Ant-Man and the Wasp's release, Hot Toys (via Coming Soon) has released images of its tie-in collectible figures of Scott and Hope in their superhero costumes. The figures are 1/6 scale (though they were presumably modelled in full size and then shrunk down to 1/6 scale using Hank Pym's shrinking technology), and the Wasp figure includes interchangeable head options, so you can choose between Wasp's full costume with helmet, and a highly detailed sculpt of Evangeline Lilly in the role. Check out some images of the collectible figures below, along with details of their features and accessories.
