You never forget your first–and my first was Samuel L. Jackson. That’s right–though I own dozens of them now (I’m scared to count how many), it was the Hot Toys Nick Fury figure from the Avengers that convinced me to enter the sixth-scale game. But hey, I own a double-digit number of Iron Man sixth scale figures, so I definitely have room for another Samuel Jackson in my collection–especially an improved one! The Hot Toys Nick Fury 1/6 figure is now up for order!

It’s more than a little bit ironic that the single fastest character in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe is lagging far behind all of the other Movie Masterpiece Series Avengers figures in going up for pre-order.
But considering that there were serious doubts about whether he was ever coming or not at all up until two weeks ago, I guess we probably shouldn’t complain–the Hot Toys Quicksilver figure is now available for order!

In a span of less than one month, Hot Toys has revealed or put up for sale three of the four most fervently-demanded Marvel Cinematic Universe characters that previously had not been produced in the Movie Masterpiece Series: Maria Hill, Pepper Potts and Quicksilver. At this point, there’s only one major character that fans have been crying out for whose fate has been up in the air–but now it appears that a Guardians of the Galaxy Hot Toys Drax figure is finally on the way (again) as well!

Hot Toys is almost indisputably the most popular high-end Marvel licensor, so there’s not a whole lot that they manage to put up for order that still goes under the radar. But I think it’s rather fitting that one item that has snuck out is a rather incognito, shrunken superhero and his faithful ant: the Hot Toys Ant-Man on Flying Ant miniature figure is now up for order! And as you’d expect from Marvel’s smallest hero, it’s the cheapest non-Cosbaby Hot Toys Marvel figure ever released!

I like being right (a lot), and as such, I am rarely happy to be wrong. But today is one of those times–and not only has Hot Toys proven me wrong once today… they’ve done it twice!
Not only is the Iron Man Mark IX I had written off as never coming on the way–but so is the Pepper Potts figure that’s allegedly been in-development for over two years! The exclusive Hot Toys Pepper Potts & Iron Man Mark 9 set is now up for order!

“BOOM!!!” That’s the sound of thousands of Marvel Hot Toys collectors’ collective heads exploding, as in 24 hours, Hot Toys has knocked off three of the most-requested figures from fans’ wish lists.
Pepper Potts debuted yesterday and will go up for sale today, and now the long-demanded Hot Toys Quicksilver and The Winter Soldier Nick Fury figures have been revealed!

Hot Toys is like a wild predator today, and Iron Man collectors are their prey! This morning, Hot Toys posted the official photos for over $1000 worth of new Iron Man figures. Among the new toys are the first-ever Pepper Potts sixth scale figure and two of the previously-unreleased House Party Protocol armors.
But there’s no question what the biggest (literally) reveal of the day is: the Hot Toys Iron Man Mark 45 Quarter Scale figure goes up for order soon!

At San Diego Comic-Con 2015 last week, Hot Toys finally dropped the curtain and revealed their much-anticipated Ant-Man Movie Masterpiece Series figure. Reaction to the overall look of the figure has been positive, leaving most collectors with just one question: “When can we buy it?”
Well, Hot Toys must have figured that what day could be better than the one when Ant-Man hits theaters–the Hot Toys Ant-Man figure is now up for order!

There are certain characters that fans have been asking Hot Toys for for so long now that many collectors started assuming that these niche characters were simply never going to be produced. In the case of Pepper Potts and maybe even Quicksilver, those fans may be right. But this week, Hot Toys proved all those who said Cobie Smulders was never going to appear in sixth scale form wrong: the limited 2015 Toy Fair Exclusive Hot Toys Maria Hill figure is now up for order!

Once upon a time, I had a dream that Hot Toys would produce sixth scale figures of all 43 armors that appear in the Iron Man 3 movie. For a while it looked like they might actually pull it off, but sadly, it looks like that dream may be going unfulfilled. Hot Toys has now put their limited 2015 Toy Fair Summer Exclusive Tank Iron Man up for order–and it actually comes with two more new Iron Man armors! But there’s a plot twist even more expected than the Mandarin: while the Hot Toys Tank Iron Man looks outstanding, the Disco Iron Man & Mark 9 are a little, uh… little…

Here’s a factoid to give Marvel Hot Toys collectors nightmares: Hot Toys has already posted a double-digit number of Avengers Age of Ultron Hot Toys sixth scale figures for sale this year, with a total cost of over four thousand dollars–and the team isn’t even complete yet!
But after today, the roster will have just one empty spot remaining–the MMS 306 Hot Toys Thor Age of Ultron figure is now up for order! And to my surprise, this Thor is a lot cooler than I expected…

You’ve waited for her! You’ve asked for her! And now–she is finally on the way! Since months before “Avengers: Age of Ultron” even hit theaters, fans have been demanding merchandise for the Scarlet Witch. And while it looks pretty unlikely that we’ll be getting the fan-demanded Marvel Legends Scarlet Witch movie figure this year that so many collectors want, the ultimate high-end version of Wanda Maximoff has now been fully revealed and is preparing to come our way: the MMS 298 Hot Toys Scarlet Witch figure is now up for order!

Considering that they already premiered the Hot Toys Iron Man Mark 45 sixth scale figure today–a figure that will certainly retail for well over $300–you might think that Hot Toys would be satisfied with the tens of thousands of dollars they’re about to secure. But uhnt-uh! They want more! And what better way to cash in on the Avengers Age of Ultron Hot Toys craze than with army-builder figures from the movie? The MMS 299 Hot Toys Iron Legion sixth scale figure is now up for order!

With no new Marvel Legends figures hitting retail and two months until the arrival of the Ant-Man movie, It seemed like May 2015 was going to be a pretty quiet and cheap month for Marvel figure collectors. Note the emphasis on “was”. See, last Friday the Hot Toys Vision figure appeared. And then yesterday the amazing Spider-Man Premium Format Figure went up for order. And today, Hot Toys decided to unveil two new sixth scale figures, of which one is a pretty big deal–the die-cast Hot Toys Iron Man Mark 45 figure is now up for order!

I get at least one or two E-Mails every day asking me when I think a major Avengers Age of Ultron Vision, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch figures are coming. The answer is always the same: “The Hot Toys versions will be the only ones up for sale this year.” It’s enormously frustrating to hear, but it’s reality.
But maybe that harsh reality will be a little easier to accept after today, as the MMS296 Hot Toys Vision figure is now available for order!
