Funko put together a reasonably extensive lineup of Black Panther POP Vinyls Figures to coincide with the movie’s launch window—but with the Black Panther movie now firmly entrenched as the third highest-grossing movie of all-time domestically, they must have figured there was room for a bit of expansion! And so, three more fan favorites are on the way this summer: Funko M’Baku, Killmonger with Tattoos and Ulysses Klaue POPs are now up for Order!

It’s been an agonizing (and okay, a little bit annoying) wait, but the shoe has finally dropped today and toy companies can talk about their Avengers Infinity War movie toys at long last! And one company that certainly been waiting to show off their wares is Funko, who has over a dozen and a half new figures to reveal—and that’s just their POPs! The Funko POP Infinity War figures—including Hulkbuster Iron Man 2.0—are now up for order!

While Marvel collectors got treated like royalty with the hundreds of new Marvel toys revealed at New York Toy Fair 2018, the weekend started out on a sour note with some really bad news: the end of the Funko Marvel Collector Corps Box in its current form. It was bittersweet when the final box included in the subscription arrived this week, but on the bright side, I think Funko did a reasonably marvelous (ugh, I can’t believe I said that) job with the Marvel Collector Corps Animal Instincts Box…

When the Funko POP Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Vinyls lineup was announced, there was one humongous omission that fans were left crying out for. The breakout star of the movie, Yondu (AKA… Mary Poppins). Well, it’s taken close to a year since the announcement of the GOTG Vol. 2 POPs, but POP Yondu with Mohawk is finally on the way… as a convention exclusive! And Yondu’s not the only Marvel exclusive the King of Exclusives has coming our way…

New York Toy Fair 2018 is a scant three weeks away, but before they get to New York City, many toy manufacturers are unveiling new goods at the 2018 London Toy Fair this week!

The October 2017 Marvel Collector Corps Thor Ragnarok Box was easily the most controversial MCC Box Funko has shipped to date, so there was definitely a lot of pressure on this month’s box to be a runaway hit. I’m happy to say that Funko came out swinging with the Marvel Collector Corps Hulk Box, which is clearly a terrific value and an excellent box all-around. Read on for my full review, spoilers and unboxing photos…

Now that the flurry of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals have mostly come to an end (though there’s still a sweet 47% off sale for the 14.5” Marvel Legends Hulk going on), it’s time to stop looking at this year’s discounted items and start looking at upcoming 2018 Marvel toys again! And on that front, Funko made a pretty surprising announcement this week, when they announced a whole series of Marvel Contest of Champions POP Vinyls figures—including King Groot, Punisher 2099, Venompool and more!

While the biggest Marvel toy news this week is Hasbro launching their Black Panther Marvel Legends series overnight, Hasbro isn’t the only one launching pre-orders for their line for the movie this week! Funko has big plans for Black Panther movie toys as well, as evident by the fact that Funko Black Panther POP Vinyls, Dorbz and more are now up for order!

Ever since a 6” Hulkbuster Iron Man POP Vinyl was featured as the centerpiece of the inaugural Marvel Collector Corps Box in spring 2015, fans have been begging for Funko to include a 6” Hulk POP Vinyl in a box as well. When Funko announced the newest theme and placed the Marvel Collector Corps Hulk Box up for order earlier this month, it seemed like the best chance yet for that dream to become a reality. And now, the exclusive POP Vinyls have been revealed! Read on if you want to see the spoilers…

Time has flown by, and the final Marvel movie of 2017 is now just two short weeks away! And to coincide with the movie, Funko has just shipped out their last MCU movie-themed box of the year: the Thor Ragnarok Collector Corps Box (with a Hulk box coming in December)! While I correctly predicted the two exclusive POP Vinyls that are included, I don’t think anybody on Midgard or any other real could have guessed the full contents on this really surprising box!

Stan Lee’s L.A. Comic Con (formerly known as Comikaze) has never disappointed yet as far as Marvel POP Vinyl exclusives go, with past convention POPs including the awesome Chrome Colossus and even a U.S. Agent figure. This year, Comikaze 2017 will have a full quartet of Funko exclusives, but only one of them will be Marvel-based. Luckily, this year’s Marvel POP is a wholly unexpected treat: a Funko Moon Knight POP Vinyl… dressed as his “Mr. Knight” suit-and-tie-wearing persona!

I’ve been to New York Comic Con every year since, well… ever… and I can’t recall Toys R Us ever having a booth at the show—much less exclusives. But I suppose there’s a first time for everything, and that time is now! With just one week to go to NYCC 2017, Toys R Us has announced an exclusive line of Marvel Fan Girls dolls to accompany their Funko Baby Groot with Button POP Vinyl, Armored Black Panther Tsum Tsum and 12″ Lockjaw Plush to the show!

When you’re the King of Exclusives like Funko is, you don’t settle for having merely store exclusives, subscription box exclusives and convention exclusives–sometimes you need to have Disney Park Exclusives as well! The Disney Parks have had the Yeti, Orange Bird, Haunted Mansion Ghost and more in recent history, but now they’ve got their first Marvel exclusive: the Gold Collector POP Vinyl was released this weekend (and appeared on eBay shortly thereafter)!

As the weeks on the calendar tick down toward the last major convention of the year, more and more New York Comic Con 2017 exclusives have been revealed. And today, the King of Exclusives themselves staked their claim to the top spot at the con by announcing their own half-dozen Marvel exclusives: the NYCC 2017 Exclusive Funko POP Old Man Logan, Grandmaster, James Gunn (?!!) and more have now been revealed!

It was a bit quiet on the Marvel toy news front this week because of a little event called “Force Friday II” that some of you might have heard of, but Funko had one new Marvel POP up their sleeve for this week–and it’s a set that collectors have been asking for for literally years! Almost unquestionably the most requested Marvel POP Rides ever, the exclusive Funko Ghost Rider on Motorcycle POP Vinyl is now available for order–in both regular and glow-in-the-dark editions!
