Just when I thought that Hasbro was done for the day, they busted out another quartet of previews for upcoming 2018 Marvel Legends figures! Not only did Hasbro decide to show off the hotly-anticipated Marvel Legends Ghost Rider and motorcycle set this afternoon, but they also gave us our first SDCC 2017 tastes of new waves of Avengers and Spider-Man Marvel Legends figures with Gwenpool, Songbird and Spider-Punk!

If there’s one company that knows how to keep collectors coming back each day of San Diego Comic-Con 2017, it’s Hasbro! Even though the Hasbro Marvel panel won’t be until Saturday evening, Hasbro has been strategically adding new items to the display in their booth each day of SDCC 2017. And the Friday of SDCC 2017 has brought us a trio of new treats: a Marvel Legends 12″ Wolverine, a Marvel Legends Vintage Punisher 6″ figure, and even a crazy symbiote head for Venom Deadpool!

I’m sure that tomorrow we’ll be seeing a cornucopia of new Marvel Legends 2018 figures unveiled at the SDCC Hasbro Marvel panel, but in the meantime, other companies get their time in the limelight. And one of those companies is Gentle Giant, who just so happens to produce my absolute favorite Marvel collectibles line: the Skottie Young Marvel Babies statues! And GG brought the goods to SDCC 2017, where they’ve now revealed Marvel Animated Daredevil and Squirrel Girl statues!

While Kotobukiya didn’t manage to pack quite as many new Marvel statue reveals into their SDCC 2017 booth as they have in some years, they did throw us a bone in the form of concept art for five upcoming Marvel statues! If you loved the ARTFX+ Avengers, Spider-Man and X-Men series, get ready: the Kotobukiya ARTFX+ Defenders statues series has now been announced! Plus: Carol Danvers returns for a new Bishoujo Captain Marvel!

I’ve been speculating for well over a year now about the Marvel Legends Deadpool series that I was dead certain was being planned for early 2018 to coincide with the second Deadpool movie, so it was pretty gratifying this morning to finally get concrete confirmation from Hasbro that the rumors are true, and that such a series is officially coming in the winter! While we only got to see about half the lineup so far, it’s a good one, with all-new classic Marvel Legends Domino, Cable and Deadpool figures! Oh, and Black Widow fans…? Hasbro has you covered too!

The drama and pangeantry of San Diego Comic Con 2017 Preview Night is over, and while the big Marvel Legends reveals won’t happen until Saturday night, now we can start taking a look at what has been released thus far–including a full half-dozen Hot Toys Thor Ragnarok sixth scale figures! We saw Loki and Hulk yesterday, but now it’s time for a lady’s touch with Hela and Valkyrie 12″ figures! (And oh yeah–Thor? He’s here too. Twice.)

While Hasbro beat everyone out of the gate by revealing their own Marvel Legends Gladiator Hulk Build-A-Figure a few weeks back, other collectibles companies are finally ready to start pushing their own Thor Ragnarok merchandise as SDCC 2017 begins tonight! And not only will Diamond Select Toys be showing off their latest movie toys at the con–their Marvel Gallery Gladiator Hulk and Valkyrie statues have now gone up for order!

We’ve got a few hours still until the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con Preview Night begins, but photos of various items that will be displayed tonight at the convention are already starting to leak out. We knew from teasers earlier this week that Hot Toys would have their Gladiator Thor sixth scale figure at the event, but early photos confirm two more figures that are going to be majorly in-demand: Hot Toys Gladiator Hulk and Thor Ragnarok Loki figures have now appeared!

The most-anticipated day of the year for collecting news has finally arrived, and Mezco Toyz is kicking it off with a Hulk-sized, thunderous roar! While San Diego Comic Con 2017 preview night won’t begin for a few more hours, Mezco has already unleashed some major previews of what we’ll be seeing at the show–their first-ever MCU ONE:12 Collective Marvel movie figures of Thor Ragnarok Gladiator Hulk and Thor!

Just like I wasn’t expecting to see a number of Marvel statue reveals at Star Wars Celebration Orlando, I really didn’t think we’d see anything new debut at D23 Expo 2017. But for the first time ever, Hasbro premiered a new Marvel Legends figure at D23 over the weekend–and it’s actually the very first Marvel Legends 2018 figure of any kind to be revealed! Coming our way in spring 2018: the Marvel Legends 12″ Black Panther figure in movie costume!

‘Twas the week before San Diego Comic Con, and although news was quite slow, Diamond Select was stirring, with two waves of Marvel Minimates to show! *Achem* The excruciating wait for SDCC 2017 comes to an end in just a few days, but perhaps not wanting their latest 2″ figure reveals to get lost in the veritable avalanche of Marvel toy news we’ll be buried in next week, DST has given us a little treat with early reveals of Marvel Minimates Series 74 and Walgreens Minimates Series 6–including Black Bolt, Surtur, King Hulk, Medusa and more!

2017 will go down in history as the year that the Marvel Cinematic Universe TV Series such as Daredevil and Jessica Jones finally started getting the kinds of collector-level merch that fans have been waiting for. But there’s one MCU TV series that pre-dates both of those that’s been mostly ignored by all companies (bar a handful of POP Vinyls): Agents of SHIELD. But for the very first time, Agents of SHIELD is about to feel some high-end love: the Toy Fair Exclusive Hot Toys Ghost Rider figure is now up for order!

As I think we’ve probably all been expecting, Marvel toy news has been a little bit sparse the last few days (what with San Diego Comic Con–the biggest toy reveal event of the year–being next week and all). But while there’s nothing newly revealed to talk about, that makes this the perfect time to discuss something newly-released! While we’ve had the Hasbro and DST Doctor Strange movie figures for quite some time, we’ve had a bit of a wait for the Asian import. But at last, the SH Figuarts Doctor Strange figure will be shipping in the US this month–and we’ve got some in-hand photos and impressions of the Doc!

UPDATE 7/10/2017: We’ve been hearing about an August 1st order date for the Marvel Legends Netflix Series since last month, but it looks like that’s no longer true! Cases of the Marvel Knights Legends Man-Thing Series are now up for order online, with the case assortment confirmed that I reported in this article over the weekend!

With Spider-Man Homecoming behind us, there’s no question that Marvel’s primary marketing focus for the rest of 2017 is going to be this fall’s Thor Ragnarok movie. But while Ragnarok may be the focal-point of many of the MCU toys released later this year, it won’t be the center of all of them. The Royal family of the Inhumans are finally hitting theaters and televisions this fall as well, and Funko is celebrating with new POP Vinyls up for order of Medusa, Lockjaw and Maximus!
