Beatles fans who are Yellow Submarine collectors will have plenty to celebrate in the New Year. Here are some exclusive pictures of some new Yellow Submarine model figures of each Beatle that we're told will hit stores in the U.S. early in 2012.

You can almost call the new models a remastered version of the originals as they sport a much more modern look.

Sources tell us these will be on the shelves in mid to late January and will have a suggested retail price of $19.98. The items are already in production and only need to be assembled.

Items to come later in the year include a model submarine and "a lot more cool stuff."

A planned 3D remake of the '60s movie was scuttled in March. There have been rumors that the DVD is coming back into print, but there is no word of a reissue as of yet.
