Notes
- Heroes action figures were featured on the cover of the March 2008 issue (#127) of ToyFare magazine (available January 9, 2008).
- A placard behind Hiro Nakamura in the Series One figures says "June 2008." A placard behind Noah Bennet in the Series Two figures says "Sep 2008." It is assumed these are the months the figures are planned for release.
- According to the Mezco Toyz website, Series 2 will now include Claude in place of Future Peter.
- A limited edition Future Hiro figure, including the Kensei sword and sword sheath, will be available exclusively through MezcoDirect.com and Summer 2008 conventions. It is planned for release sometime around August and is limited to 3,000 pieces worldwide.
- According to the July 2008 issue (#238) of Previews, Series 3 will now include a new version of Peter Petrelli (wearing the Haitian's necklace and the plaid shirt in Cork, Ireland) in place of Adam Monroe.
- Future Peter was on display behind Elle in Mezco's display case at the San Diego Comic Con, which would seem to indicate it is now planned as a Series 3 variant figure. Adam Monroe is now planned for Series 4.
