Earlier this week I discussed the probably-not-a-Barnes-and-Noble-exclusive Marvel Legends Avengers Dr. Strange series–but that’s not the only new Hasbro Marvel Legends 2015 series to emerge in rumors and whispers this week!
A potential Marvel Legends Ant-Man series has now been leaked on Amazon, including long-lost figures like Tigershark and BULLDOZER!

Considering that Hot Toys released three Captain America sixth scale figures last year, another the year before that, two more the year before that, and one way back in 2011, you might think that fandom would be less than excited about yet another Hot Toys Captain America figure in the 2015 pipeline. But in actuality, Hot Toys collectors are psyched for the next Cap, as it looks like it very well may end up being the best one ever: the Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron Captain America figure is now up for order!

Next week is the big week when most retail stores in the United States will start to become covered in Avengers Age of Ultron toys that should take up loads of shelf space for most of 2015, but that doesn’t mean that some stores aren’t starting the attack by releasing the Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 1 figures a week early! Reports are coming in from the midwest that Target stores have released the series a bit early, and we’ve got the photos (including the receipt!) to confirm them…

What’s that? The 2015 Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 1 and Wave 2 sets with Odin and Thanos Build-A-Figures haven’t even hit stores in the U.S. yet, but you’re already pining away for news regarding more upcoming Hasbro Marvel Legends 6″ figures? Well, ask and you shall receive. As a Funko collector, I’m pretty used to seeing Barnes and Noble leak upcoming figures months before Funko can announce them. And this time, B&N has turned its sights to Hasbro, leaking a list of potential Marvel Legends 2015 figures including Blizzard, Dr. Strange, Valkyrie and more!

This week has been perhaps the busiest and the most loaded-down with hotly-anticipated new Marvel you announcements of any week I can recall. But while the past days have been absolutely bursting with hugely-popular new collectibles, one item in particular seems to be getting a bad rap and loads of criticism all-around. The Marvel Select Avengers Age of Ultron Hulk has been up for order for a while, but was only revealed this week. Is this upcoming figure really worth all the negativity being directed at it?

Word leaked out to me a few weeks ago that Funko was planning to celebrate the most marketable “new” character in the Avengers: Age of Ultron movie–Hulkbuster Iron Man–in a big way. When photos popped up this week of almost every other announced figure however, I assumed Funko was holding onto this as a big Toy Fair 2015 reveal. I assumed wrong: the 6″ Funko Hulkbuster Iron Man POP Vinyls figure has now been revealed!

If there’s one action figure line in all the land that keeps up with the current happenings in the Marvel Universe better than any other, it’s the Diamond Select Toys Marvel Minimates. So, even though the Avengers & X-Men: AXIS comic book series just wrapped up last month, DST already has a whole series of AXIS Marvel Minimates lined up for this summer! Headlined by Marvel Minimates Falcon Captain America and the Red Onslaught, the Marvel Minimates Wave 62 AXIS figures are now up for order!

Among the many, many new product lines that Funko launched in 2014, my absolute favorite is the Funko Fabrikations line of plush vinyl figures. The Funko Fabrikations Deadpool and Rocket Raccoon figures released last year were enormously popular, and I’ve been pining away for a while for news of another release in the line. Well, the announcement took a while, but there’s not one new Marvel Fabrikations Funko figure on the way–there’s four: the Funko Fabrikations Avengers Age of Ultron figures are now up for order!

You know that saying “You can’t see the forest for the trees”? Yeah–that’s about how every Marvel Legends collector feels today. The focus has been centered on the first wave of Avengers Marvel Legends 2015 figures for so long now that even though that series is finally up for order, something else has slipped through the cracks. Already packaged and coming soon to stores–it’s the 6″ 2015 Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 2 Thanos Series!

Going into the Guardians of the Galaxy movie release last summer, everyone (including me) had pegged Rocket Raccoon as the character who would be the breakout star of the film. Things didn’t work out that way. Instead, Groot (and Dancing Baby Groot) ended up claiming the hearts and minds of millions of moviegoers in 2014–as well as the bulk of new collectibles shown off since the movie’s premiere. But while he’s playing second fiddle to Groot, Rocket Raccoon still has quite a rabid fanbase of his own–and they’ll be jazzed to see that a new exclusive Funko Ravagers Rocket Raccoon POP! Vinyl figure is now available for order!

Now that they’re finally ready to unveil all of their Avengers Age of Ultron figures, the collectible-manufacturing dynamo that is Funko is revealing their huge lineup of Avengers Age of Ultron toys at breakneck speed! Yesterday we learned about the Funko POP Vinyls for Avengers: Age of Ultron, and now Funko has solicited an even larger assortment of character in another line: the Funko Avengers Age of Ultron Mystery Minis are now up for order–including Hulkbuster Iron Man!

Oh yeah–I knew I was forgetting someone when I said that I figured we’d seen all of the major Avengers Age of Ultron toys that would be available at the movie’s launch. And that someone happens to be one of the hottest companies in the collectibles world: Funko! But have no fear, Funko is back to sieze your wallets: an all-new series of Avengers Age of Ultron POP Vinyls is now up for pre-order–including the first-ever Funko Hawkeye, Vision and Ultron figures!
UPDATE 1/21/2015: Hi-Res photos of the Funko Avengers 2 POP Vinyls have now been posted!

We’ve known for a while now that Diamond Select Toys would only be releasing a trio of Marvel Select Avengers Age of Ultron figures, with two of the figures being a repainted movie Marvel Select Thor and a retooled movie Marvel Select Hulk–but what we didn’t know was the identity of the third and final figure… until now. And while it isn’t a character that’s all-new for Avengers Age of Ultron, it’s a figure that’s a must for completing the core movie Avengers team: the Marvel Select Black Widow movie figure is now up for order!
