Hot Topic Exclusive Funko Falcon POP Vinyls Figure

Earlier today I posted the official photos of the upcoming Captain America: Civil War POP Vinyls figures that are due to hit mass retail this spring, but that’s not all that Funko has cooked up for us on the Civil War front! There’s another half-dozen figures that are going to be a wee bit trickier to track down, because they’re going to a variety of retailers as store exclusives! And while five of these figures are just variants of existing characters, the long-awaited and hotly-demanded Funko Falcon POP Vinyls figure is also going to be an exclusive…

Target Funko Daredevil Deadpool Punisher Toys Endcap Display

As I was out on the prowl at my local Target yesterday, I noticed that they had an entire end cap set up for Funko products that isn’t usually there.

That end cap was unfortunately cleaned out but for three plain Netflix Daredevil POP Vinyls, but others were luckier than I, as the fully-stocked display includes several as-yet unannounced Funko Deadpool, Daredevil and Punisher toys…

Marvel Legends 2016 Black Panther Figure Packaged

A couple of unannounced Marvel Legends 2016 4″ figures turned up on eBay last week, leaving fans wondering whether the figures were legit.

But there’s one other bit of news: a troubling potential price increase to $19.99 per figure…

Captain America Civil War SH Figuarts Figure Revealed

Although Hasbro has long reigned supreme in the realm of 6″ Marvel figures with the legendary Marvel Legends line, the brand faced its first major rival last year in the form of Bandai’s SH Figuarts Avengers Age of Ultron figures.

Funko POP Vinyls Target Exclusive Bath Time Deadpool Figure

A couple weeks back, Funko went and announced a whole plethora of new Deadpool figures for 2016 in honor of the impending Deadpool movie. But if you thought that that was all the love that Funko was planning to give Wade Wilson this winter, you thought wrong! There are at least a half-dozen more Deadpool POP!

Marvel Legends Red Skull Onslaught Build-A-Figure

It’s become a tradition over the past few years that we get our first look at factory production photos of Hasbro Marvel Legends 6″ figures when scrappers pop most likely ill-gotten figures up on ebay, and it looks like the first 2016 Captain America Marvel Legends wave won’t be the exception to the rule! While I strongly urge everyone to not purchase goods from user viperskingdom, I always appreciate getting to see production samples of upcoming figures a bit early.

2016 LEGO Mighty Micros Marvel Sets Revealed

When the chibi-styled LEGO Star Wars Micro-Fighters first hit stores in 2014, initial reactions to the cutesy take on classic Star Wars vehicles was a bit mixed (to say the least). But the low-priced Micro-Fighters sets found their footing and have become a consistent top-seller for LEGO–so much so that now the style is expanding to other licenses!

Quasar Marvel Legends 2016 Figure Revealed

There’s likely to be a little less Marvel Toy News this week than usual, as merchandisers (and collectors!) are temporarily distracted by the impending release of some big movie (apparently, there’s been an awakening). Even so, Hasbro hasn’t forgotten their Marvel Legends fans, and they’re planning to unveil a different 3 3/4″ Marvel Legends 2016 Wave 3 figure every day this week!
