We’re only on the second day of 2014, but the time has arrived for the first major Marvel pre-order of the new year! And this will sound unbelievable, but I swear that I willed this pre-order into existence by posting the Marvel Hot Toys 2014 Release Schedule last night. See, while I was lamenting the $2500 of my future money that Hot Toys had already claimed, I was simultaneously wondering if the Starboost Iron Man would ever go up for order. Hot Toys must have heard my thoughts, because the Hot Toys Starboost Iron Man Mark XXXIX Movie Masterpiece Series 1/6 figure is now available for order with no deposit required!

If there’s one company that I’m finding I really need to plan my collecting budget around for the entire year, it’s Hot Toys and their amazing (but oh-so-expensive) Marvel Movie Masterpiece Series figures. While I was drawing out my 2014 budget today (yes, I waited until January 1st, 2014 to do so), I realized there were quite a few more Hot Toys Marvel MMS figures already announced for 2014 than I thought, so I had to adjust my outlook accordingly. I figured some other Hot Toys collectors are probably having the same problem as me, so I thought I’d share my Marvel Hot Toys 2014 release schedule to help other fans plan out their future Hot Toys-induced debt…
Continue Reading →When I first heard about the Hot Toys Rose Hill Tony Stark figure a week or so ago–no lie–I thought it was a joke. No, seriously–I thought it was a joke. I thought someone had photoshopped some teaser photos of the existing Tony Stark Hot Toys figure wearing a cowboy hat, and was trying to pass it off as a real upcoming figure. I was mistaken.
Officially announced and coming in 2014–the Rose Hill Tony Stark Hot Toys Iron Man 3 sixth scale figure!
Continue Reading →News hit the street on Thanksgiving Day last week that Hot Toys was bringing back the highly-desirable Hot Toys Hulk figure in a special set with the all-new Hot Toys Bruce Banner sixth scale figure. We had to wait a week to get confirmation that this duo would be making their way to the United States, but the long-awaited Bruce Banner Hot Toys figure (and The Other Guy!) are now up for pre-order! Yep, this is really gonna tee off some of the people who paid $400+ for just the Hulk Hot Toys figure on the secondary market…
Continue Reading →I am not exaggerating at all when I say that I get someone messaging me almost every single day asking me if I have any insider info on when and if Sideshow Collectibles will be selling the hotly-anticipated exclusive Hot Toys Midas Iron Man 1/6 figure. The answer is always the same, which is that I don’t have any insider info (ever). Luckily, that won’t be an issue anymore– the 1/6 Midas Iron Man Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece figure IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ORDER! If you want him, go get him NOW–Sideshow has said quantities are highly limited and he will sell out quickly!
Continue Reading →Just when many collectors thought that the Hot Toys Avengers 1/6 Movie Masterpiece Series figures line was at an end, Hot Toys has revealed to the world the official photos and specifications for two more Avengers Hot Toys Sixth Scale figures! Though we first saw a Chitauri Footsoldier prototype over a year ago, fans were skeptical it would ever be released. Hot Toys might have taken that notion as a challenge, because they’ve now created not one but two Chitauri figures! The Avengers Hot Toys Chitauri Footsoldier and Chitauri Commander are now up for pre-order!
Continue Reading →Hot Toys saw fit to grace us with a pair of different Thor The Dark World Hot Toys Thor figures this morning. One of them is the super-limited Hot Toys Thor Light Asgardian Armor Version that’s going sleeveless, while the other figure is this standard MMS 224 Thor sixth scale figure (with sleeves!). In general I always end up wanting the hard-to-get exclusive Hot Toys figures, but in a weird twist of fate, for a change it’s the non-limited version of this Hot Toys figure that I prefer… and this Hot Toys Thor the Dark World 1/6 scale figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →In a bit of a surprising twist this morning, Hot Toys simultaneously announced their MMS 224 Thor The Dark World Thor Movie Masterpiece Series figure at the same time as they announced the limited variant for the figure. If you’ve been waiting with bated breath for Hot Toys to churn out an unspeakably lame exclusive, you’re in luck! I’m one of those people whose eyes Hot Toys can ordinarily do no wrong in, but even I have to admit this particular limited Hot Toys figure is pretty weak. Coming in 2014–the MMS 225 Hot Toys Thor Light Asgardian Armor Version Figure is now available for order!
Continue Reading →The bad news is that I have now lost a bet and owe a friend five bucks. The good news is that the bet that I lost was my guess that the Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man Movie Masterpiece Series figure would be delayed into 2014! After countless delays and the figure not even being shown at San Diego Comic Con 2013, I thought it was very possible the Amazing Spider-Man Hot Toys figure would fail to make it out before the end of 2013. But I was wrong–it’s taken quite a while, but the Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man MMS 179 figure has now been released overseas!
Continue Reading →Considering that Hot Toys showed off the upcoming Iron Man 3 Igor Mark 38 MMS 215 sixth scale figure at event after event throughout the summer, no one can feign surprise that the Hot Toys Igor Iron Man is in development.
But knowing that fact is one thing, and seeing this insanely immense behemoth go up for sale is quite another, and it’s finally happened–the Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Igor Mark XXXVIII figure is now up for order!

Out of the blue and defying expectations, Hot Toys abruptly fully-revealed their “The Wolverine” Hot Toys sixth scale figure, based on the summer’s (not-quite) blockbuster Wolverine movie! Coming in 2014, the Hot Toys The Wolverine Movie Masterpiece Series figure is now up for pre-order!
Continue Reading →I’ve talked a great deal about Marvel Hot Toys figures since I started this blog (especially about the Hot Toys Avengers figures), but I haven’t put forward an official Avengers Hot Toys figure review–until now.
Last week I received the biggest Marvel Hot Toys figure ever released, and though he’s the most atypical figure in the line so far, I figured I’d begin my reviews with him. It’s the absolutely massive beast that is MMS 186: the Avengers Hot Toys Hulk sixth scale figure!
Continue Reading →Hot Toys is wagering that you just can’t get enough merch from Iron Man 3, so in honor of the Iron Man 3 DVD/Blu Ray being released today, they’ve put up a new item for Iron Man Hot Toys fans to buy–though it’s not exactly the one collectors have been waiting for!
Though Hot Toys collectors have been chomping at the bit, nervously waiting for the chance to pre-order the Hot Toys Midas Iron Man 1/6 scale figure, that will have to wait for another day. Instead, the Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Busts Deluxe Set of 8 is now available for pre-order!
Continue Reading →In an event that’s even more rare than a solar eclipse, Hot Toys has managed to shock the collecting world by releasing the Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Tony Stark figure in both Asia and the United States in the same week!
This new Hot Toys Tony Stark Iron Man 3 figure is leading off the line in the United States–and you can still order the Hot Toys Tony Stark figure through Sideshow Collectibles, who will be shipping him out this week!
Continue Reading →In one of the faster turnaround times in recent Hot Toys collecting memory, the Hot Toys 2013 Toy Fairs Exclusive Captain America Star Spangled Man Movie Masterpiece Series figure is almost ready to fly into collectors’ homes and sell some war bonds! Though he only went on sale two weeks ago, Sideshow began sending out notifications today that their exclusive Hot Toys Star-Spangled Man Captain America MMS figure will begin shipping at the end of August!
