Marvel Legends Ant-Man Series Figures Released!

Ant-Man Marvel Legends Figures Released

What with the Marvel Legends Ant-Man Series having a hard street date of July 3rd 2015 (and Amazon shipping theirs July 1st), I really wasn’t expecting to see the figures hit stores two weeks early. But if there’s one chain that doesn’t mind breaking the rules and ignoring street dates, it’s Toys R Us–and many Toys R Us stores (including mine) have now begun stocking the Hasbro Ant-Man Legends figures early!

Minimates Marvel Zombies Age of Ultron Set Revealed!

Marvel Minimates Zombies Age of Ultron Box Set

No matter how much I fuss and insist I’ll never buy certain lines of Marvel items, the best companies usually find a way to drag me in. Kotobukiya did it with their Bishoujo Jubilee statue, Medicom baited my with their Retro Rocket Raccoon Sofubi, and now, Diamond Select has somehow managed to lure me in for zombies (yes, zombies)! Coming this fall: the Minimates Marvel Zombies Age of Ultron box set is now up for order!

Funko SDCC Blackout Ant-Man Hank Pym POP Vinyl!

SDCC Funko Blackout Ant-Man POP Vinyls Figure Hank Pym

While they were super-light on Marvel exclusives at SDCC 2014, Funko is clearly aiming to beat every other licensee in sheer quantity of exclusive Marvel toys at SDCC 2015! Thus far, they’ve announced the X-Force Deadpool Chimichanga Truck, a super-lame unmasked Baymax POP Vinyl, and a not-quite-“limited” Cosmic Powers Deadpool Hikari. And now? Funko has revealed a Marvel POP! that everyone is gonna want: it’s the Funko POP Vinyls Ant-Man Black Out figure, featuring the Hank Pym Ant-Man costume!

Hasbro SDCC 2015 Exclusive Ant-Man Figures Box Set!

SDCC 2015 Exclusive Ant-Man Hasbro Figures Set

With no substantial rumors swirling about and no leaked images of unknown Marvel Infinite Series 3 3/4″ figures surfacing from overseas, I’ve had my doubts for a while now that we would actually see any kind of exclusive SDCC 2015 Marvel Universe figures set from Hasbro. Well, I think we can effectively put the nail in the coffin of any chance of a SDCC 2015 Marvel Infinite Series set today, as Hasbro has revealed its final two Comic-Con exclusive Marvel items: six figures themed around Ant-Man! But hey… one of them is 3 3/4″. That’s pretty good, right…?

Walgreens Exclusive Marvel Minimates Animated Figures!

Marvel Animated Minimates Spider-Man 2099 Figure

With somewhere around a thousand Marvel Minimates figures released over the years (no, seriously–there’s right around a thousand), it might seem like there’s not a lot of fresh directions for Diamond Select Toys to take the mini figures line in.

But in a real surprise move, it was announced today that there actually is a new frontier of untapped potential for Marvel Minimates. An all-new line of Minimates Marvel Animated figures is on the way–and it’s exclusive to Walgreens!

SDCC 2015 Exclusive Funko Cosmic Powers Deadpool Hikari!

SDCC 2015 Exclusive Funko Cosmic Powers Deadpool Hikari

Considering that I like the Funko Marvel Hikari vinyls more than just about any other Marvel toys on the market this year, you would think I’d be overjoyed about the first officially-announced SDCC 2015 Marvel Funko Hikari. But due to a combination of expense fatigue and a shockingly high edition size, I’m just not all that psyched about the SDCC Exclusive Funko Cosmic Powers Deadpool Hikari figure…

SDCC 2015 Exclusive LEGO Throne of Ultron Set!

SDCC Exclusive LEGO Throne of Ultron Set 2015 203 Pieces

With hype for the Guardians of the Galaxy movie in full swing last July, the SDCC 2013 Exclusive Rocket Raccoon Warbird set became a hot commodity that blew away everyone’s expectations, at one time selling for well over $200 on the afternarket. This year’s exclusive LEGO Marvel box set… is probably going to be a tad less desirable: it’s the just-announced exclusive SDCC 2015 LEGO Throne of Ultron set!

Sentinel War Machine RE EDIT Figure Covered in Weapons

Following his surprisingly decent-sized role in Avengers: Age of Ultron, 2015 has turned out to be a far bigger year for War Machine figures than I ever imagined! New figures are coming this year from Marvel Legends, Hot Toys, SH Figuarts, Minimates, Sideshow Collectibles and more. And now, we can add perhaps the most unique entry of all to that list: the unique Sentinel RE:EDIT War Machine figure is now up for order!

Kotobukiya Emma Frost ARTFX+ Statue Revealed & Photos!

Kotobukiya Emma Frost ARTFX+ Statue Close-Up of Head

2015 is much more likely to go down in history as “the year a lot of awesome X-Men merchandise got cancelled” than as “the year a lot of awesome X-Men merchandise came out”. Disney is putting a hard stop to the production of X-Men collectibles by many of their licensees–but luckily, there are some items already approved and in the pipeline! And one of those statues is the White Queen… in black! The Kotobukiya Emma Frost ARTFX+ statue is now up for order!

SDCC 2015 Funko X-Force Deadpool Chimichanga Truck!

SDCC 2015 Funko X-Force Deadpool Chimichanga Set POP Vinyls Exclusive

With under a month to go until the biggest comic convention of 2015 (that isn’t New York Comic Con 2015), the Marvel exclusives are finally being revealed fast and furiously! I don’t think anyone really believed that there would only be one SDCC 2015 exclusive Funko Marvel POP Vinyl, and sure enough, there are more! But the one Funko has now announced is one I probably should have been expecting, but was not: the SDCC Funko X-Force Deadpool Chimichanga Truck POP Rides set!

Venom Play Arts Kai Figure Photos Revealed!

Play Arts Kai Venom Variant Figure

The Marvel Play Arts Kai figure that got me the most excited at the New York Toy Fair 2015 Square-Enix booth was the one that actually wasn’t on display at all: it was the concept art for the Play Arts Kai Venom figure!

Well, we had to wait an extra four months to see it in plastic form, but the time is here: the first photos of the Venom Play Arts Kai Marvel Variant figure have now been revealed!

Funko Agent Carter POP Vinyl Figure Revealed!

Funko Agent Carter POP Vinyls Figure

If there’s one Marvel Cinematic Universe property that merchandisers were more skeptical of this year than Ant-Man, it’s Agent Carter. Even so, the series has earned a strong fan base and been renewed for a second season. As such, I was wondering when a toy company would get around to making an Agent Carter toy, and now we have our non-surprising answer: the Funko Agent Carter POP Vinyls figure is now up for order!

SDCC 2015 Marvel Legends Doctor Strange Set Revealed!

SDCC 2015 Exclusive Marvel Legends Doctor Strange Box Set

Way, way back last summer, Hasbro started showing off concepts for Marvel Legends Dormammu and Magik figures. Fans guessed that some sort of future “magic-themed” box set was in the works… and as it turns out, those fans were correct!

The SDCC 2015 exclusive Marvel Legends Doctor Strange set has now been revealed, and it includes the first Brother Voodoo and Hela figures ever!

Hot Toys Scarlet Witch Figure Up for Order & Photos!

Scarlet Witch Hot Toys MMS298 Figure Revealed Q4 2015

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!

Hasbro Ant-Man Flying Ant Figure Box Set

Up until this week, it had been a month or so since there were new Hasbro Marvel figures released. But recess is over, and Hasbro has declared open season on collectors’ wallets once again! While 20+ Marvel Legends figures went up for sale this week, Hasbro didn’t want to leave their 4″ collectors out in the dust entirely: the Ant-Man & Flying Ant Marvel Infinite Series set is now up for order!
