I am not a quarter-scale figure collector. With the sheer number of toys and collectibles I buy each year, I discovered that if I buy a lot of 1/4 scale figures, I quickly begin to run out of space. But there are exceptions to every rule, and I’m about to have to make one. If there’s one Iron Man armor permutation I have a serious soft spot for, it’s the derpy Mark XLII armor from Iron Man 3. And now, it’s coming to quarter-scale in high-end figure form: the Hot Toys 1/4 Iron Man Mark 42 figure goes up for order today!

Back in March, Hot Toys launched pre-orders for their New Avengers Scarlet Witch Movie Promo figure, and it was–in no uncertain terms–a blockbuster hit, selling out in under 12 hours (the fastest sell-out time for a female Hot Toys figure ever).
So it should come as a shock to no one that Hot Toys has decided to fully complete Team Cap with their latest sixth scale figure: the Hot Toys Civil War Scarlet Witch MMS figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →The day that Netflix Daredevil fans have been waiting for has finally arrived: highly-detailed, show-accurate Netflix Daredevil figures are on the way! No, they’re not coming in the Hasbro Marvel Legends 6″ line just yet–they’re going to be a little bit bigger (and a whole lot more expensive).
Coming our way soon: Hot Toys Netflix Daredevil sixth scale figures! And Daredevil’s not coming alone–he’s bringing Hot Toys Punisher along for the ride!
Continue Reading →It turns out that that old saying, “You don’t know what you got till it’s gone” is true. Because although the Hot Toys Cosbaby series of figures has never been a breakout success in the United States, now that we haven’t gotten any of the figures in the U.S. anymore, Hot Toys is doing their best work ever with Cosbabies in 2016.
And now we can add three more versions of this year’s hottest character to the list: five more Hot Toys Deadpool Cosbaby figures have been revealed!
Continue Reading →Ordinarily I try to steer clear of writing Hot Toys reviews of the many, many Marvel sixth scale figures that I buy, because there’s only so many ways I can describe how amazing the Marvel Movie Masterpiece Series figures are and how vastly superior they are to every other line of MCU toys out there. But as I’m on a bit of a high right now coming off of seeing Captain America: Civil War, I’ve got enough exuberance to talk about one of my favorite toys so far in 2016: the Avengers Age of Ultron Hot Toys Scarlet Witch sixth scale figure!
Continue Reading →The moment LEGO haplessly revealed that Scott Lang would be appearing as Giant-Man in this summer’s sure-fire blockbuster Captain America Civil War movie, collectors began drooling at the prospect of a huge Hot Toys Giant-Man figure!
And today, Hot Toys finally announced a Giant-Man… but it’s not exactly the sixth scale version collectors had in mind! The oversized Hot Toys Civil War Giant-Man & Ant-Man Cosbaby figure set has now been revealed!
Continue Reading →If there’s one thing we can count on like clockwork, it’s a new Black Widow Hot Toys sixth scale figure being released for every Marvel movie Scarlett Johansson appears in. But what definitely isn’t orthodox is Sideshow putting a new figure up for order in the middle of the night–which is just what happened in this instance!
The MMS 365 Hot Toys Civil War Black Widow is now up for order, and it just may be her best figure ever!
Continue Reading →Is that the sound of two remaining pennies clinking together in your bank account? Hot Toys sure seems to think that it is–and they want it!
Following up on the ludicrously-successful lightning-fast sell-out of the Civil War Movie Promo Scarlet Witch and Battling Captain America figures last week, Hot Toys is going back to the well with the character more MCU fans find irresistible than any other: the Hot Toys Civil War Iron Man Mark 46 Die-Cast figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →It was a little bit of a head-scratcher when Hot Toys debuted the Hot Toys New Avengers Scarlet Witch from the closing seconds of Avengers Age of Ultron at Toy Soul 2015 alongside the upcoming Civil War figures. Since Wanda has a new costume in Captain America: Civil War, this version seemed like a really odd choice. Hot Toys must have decided this was a weird choice as well–because the Hot Toys Scarlet Witch New Avengers figure has now been announced as a limited exclusive!
UPDATE 4/15/2016: The Sideshow Exclusive Movie Promo Scarlet Witch New Avengers figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →Plot twist!! Over the years, Hot Toys collectors have come to anticipate that the exclusive Movie Promo MMS figure released–usually one per year–will be among the fastest sell-outs and hardest to obtain figures for each Marvel movie.
But for Captain America: Civil War, Hot Toys has a surprise for us–two Movie Promo figures are coming our way! The limited exclusive Hot Toys Battling Captain America and New Avengers Scarlet Witch are now up for order!
Continue Reading →Although T’Challa wasn’t shown amongst the first batch of Captain America: Civil War sixth scale figures prototypes, it was a question of when–not if–a Hot Toys Black Panther figure would make its debut.
I thought we might be waiting until after more of the returning heroes went up for order until we saw him, but the hype for Black Panther is hot and so his sixth scale figure: the Hot Toys Black Panther figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →I’m building an entire Hot Toys Iron Man House Party Protocol of sixth scale figures, and when it’s complete, it will be the pinnacle of my toy collection. But while there are plenty of red and gold Iron Man figures that look “the same”, there are also some HPP armors that are wonderfully different. And today, I’m reviewing one of the “different” armors. The Sideshow Exclusive Hot Toys Gamma Iron Man Mark sixth scale figure is a little bit bigger and a whole lot more green than your typical Iron Man armor, and an absolute must for an Iron Man 3 collection…
Continue Reading →Hot Toys has been giving us a slow and steady rollout of their Captain America: Civil War movie figures for the last few months–so slowly, in fact, that I didn’t realize a half-dozen figures were up for pre-order already!
And today, Hot Toys is going to go ahead with lucky number seven and a figure never-before-shown: the Hot Toys Civil War Ant-Man figure goes up for order later today! Is this better than their original Ant-Man…?
Continue Reading →2016 may be the year of Deadpool and Spider-Gwen merch, but there’s another character flying under the radar (no pun intended) and getting far more toys this year than he ever has before: Sam Wilson, the Falcon!
Many collectors regret skipping the 12″ Falcon Hot Toys figure released for Captain America: The Winter Soldier two years ago, but now they’ve got another chance: the Captain America Civil War Hot Toys Falcon is now available for order!
Continue Reading →Hot Toys missed the target slightly with their first Hawkeye MMS, and while it was loaded with accessories, the long-sleeved AOU Hawkeye just isn’t an iconic version for the shelf. But the third time appears to be the charm, and it looks like the best is coming later this year: the Hot Toys Civil War Hawkeye is now up for order!
And, oh yeah–it comes with a mini Ant-Man riding an arrow! Best accessory ever…?
