Funko Hikari Blue Deadpool Exclusive Figure Packaged

Remember that Marvel Comics crossover from a few years ago called “Siege”, where the Sentry rips Ares in half? Well, I’m picturing that scene as Funko continues their siege on my wallet, ripping my bank account in half with a parade of can’t-skip collectibles. Funko Hikari are my Kryptonite, and another pair have now been announced: the Funko Hikari Blue Deadpool and regular Hulk figures are now up for order! And with discounts, you can get them for almost half price! Read on…

Marvel Select Avengers Age of Ultron Hulk Figure Review

Posted on by May 14, 2015
Diamond Select Toys Marvel Select 2015 Hulk Figure 9"

When Diamond Select Toys announced the three figures making up the totality of their Avengers Age of Ultron Marvel Select lineup, the choices weren’t met with universal praise. In fact, many collectors turned their noses up entirely at the AOU Hulk and Thor figures. But now that the Avengers 2 Marvel Select Hulk figure I ordered online has arrived, it’s very clear to me that (redo or not) this is an outstanding (and humongous) movie Hulk action figure that utterly smashes every other AOU Hulk figure released thus far…

Limited Funko Marvel POP Vinyls T-Shirts Announced!

Hot Topic Exclusive Funko Rocket Raccoon Groot Tees T-Shirt

Just hearing the word “limited edition” will get me to sit up straight and take notice without fail. Whether it be statues, action figures or food (the most insidious limited item of them all), attaching the word “limited” instantly make something more desirable. And as usual, Funko is ready to capitalize on this phenomenon. Coming soon to Hot Topic stores–numbered, limited edition Marvel Funko POP Vinyl T-Shirts!

Marvel Legends Vision Figure Packaged Avengers Series 3

Hasbro must have heard that I was out buying a house today to put more toys into, because when I got home, I’d received an E-Mail with photos of a bunch of new figures that will be joining my (really) extended family this summer! Though we’ve seen and heard exactly zip about the figures since they debuted at New York Toy Fair 2015 (and they won’t go up for pre-order for a little while yet), the official packaged and unpackaged photos of the Hasbro 6″ Marvel Legends Avengers Series 3 figures have now been released!

Funko Guardians of the Galaxy Dorbz Review & Photos

Guardians of the Galaxy Dorbz Figures Released

Ever since I saw them at the Funko booth at the New York Toy Fair 2015 back in February, visions of Vinyl Sugar Dorbz figures have danced in my head. I got my grubby hands on the debut figure in the first Marvel Collector Corps box, but today I received what I was really waiting for–my Guardians of the Galaxy Dorbz arrived from Entertainment Earth! And now that I’ve had a chance to photograph and play with them all, I can confidently say that they are every bit as a-DORBZ-able as I expected…

Marvel Mashers Hulkbuster Iron Man Released & Photos!

Walmart Exclusive Hulk Buster Mashers Figure Released

Most recent Marvel movies have had a clear breakout character, be it Hulk, Loki or the Winter Soldier. Avengers: Age of Ultron is a little bit weird, though, in that its breakout star isn’t a new character at all–it’s an armor! Having generated more hype and merch than just about any other character, it’s a surprise that the kid-focused Marvel Mashers line hasn’t gotten its own Hulkbuster before now. But the wait is at an end–the Mashers Hulkbuster Iron Man has arrived… and it’s exclusive to Walmart!

Marvel Dorbz Series 1 Figures Photos & Order Info!

Marvel Dorbz Series 1 Figures

I have a big problem with Marvel vinyl figures. And the problem is that I can’t stop buying them. It used to be that relatively few vinyl Marvel figures got released each year–but with Funko’s explosion in popularity, the number of Marvel vinyls being released is at an all-time high. At some point I’m going to have to draw the line somewhat (for space purposes if not monetary ones)–but it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to kick the addiction anytime soon! The Marvel Dorbz Series 1 figures are now up for order, and spoilers–they are a-DORBZ-able!

Ant-Man Funko POP Vinyls Figure Box

Although the marketing for Avengers: Agenof Ultron was so huge that we were already being inundated with prototypes for upcoming collectibles, the toys and collectibles blitz for Ant-Man has been a lot more… well, microscopic.

But now that we’re just a minuscule two months away from the Ant-Man movie, the figures are finally coming out of the woodwork (just like ants!): the Funko POP Vinyls Ant-Man and Yellowjacket are now up for order!

Exclusive Kotobukiya Rampaging Grey Hulk ARTFX Statue

Remember the awesome speedboat chase sequence in “Iron Man 3”, or the climactic battle between a tank-driving Mandarin and Iron Man? How about the slick War Machine Mark II armor making it’s debut in the same movie? No…? That’s because all,of that stuff ended up on the cutting-room floor of “Iron Man 3”. And it looks like the proud tradition of deleted material being captured in collectible form is continuing–the exclusive Kotobukiya Rampaging Grey Hulk ARFTX+ statue is now up for order!

Exclusive Funko Black Costume Storm POP Vinyl Released!

Hot Topic Exclusive Funko POP Vinyls Black Storm Variant Figure

Ororo Monroe–Storm–has been the subject of some of the longest-running debates in X-Men history. “Who is the most famous X-Woman: Storm or Jean Grey?” “Who is Storm’s OTP: Forge, Black Panther, or Wolverine?” “Who is the greatest leader of the X-Men: Storm or Cyclops?” And perhaps the biggest question of them all: “Which is Storm’s most iconic costume: black or white?” While Funko initially sided with Team White Costume, there’s hope for the other camp: the Hot Topic Exclusive Funko Black Costume Storm has now turned up for sale online and in some Hot Topic stores!

ThreeA Toys Ultron Figures Revealed & Photos! 3A

Posted on by May 7, 2015
3A Ultron Figure with Light-Up Eyes Mouth and Chest

Of all the new companies that began producing Marvel collectibles in 2015, the one that made the single most divisive line is likely ThreeA Toys. While 3A Toys is beloved for its original creations, the radically redesigned 3A Marvel sixth scale figures have been met with a mixture of praise and disdain from Marvel fans.

But criticism or no, after weeks of teases, their next re-imagined Marvel character is on the way: the ThreeA Toys Ultron figures have now been fully revealed!

Pile of LEGO Marvel Electro Minifigure Polybags

Way back in October 2014, LEGO shocked the Marvel collecting world with a totally random, out-of-left-field release of an Amazing Spider-Man 2 Electro minifigure polybag at the LEGO KidsFest event. Marvel collectors have been waiting with bated breath for details on when they could acquire the ASM2 Electro figure ever since. And at long last, more than half a year later, we know–the 5002125 Electro figure has now been released in stores!

Ant-Man Hot Toys Figure Preview Helmet Mini Antman

When Hot Toys acquired the licenses for Amazing Spider-Man 2, Guardians of the Galaxy and this summer’s Avengers: Age of Ultron movie, they made a major announcement for each and pretty much shouted it from the rooftops.

But Hot Toys has been much quieter about this summer’s other Marvel movie–until this week! The first teaser for the Hot Toys Ant-Man figure has now been revealed!

Funko Hikari X-Force Deadpool & Inferno Iron Man!

Funko Hikari Inferno Iron Man and X-Force Deadpool POP Vinyls

Of all the various toy lines that I cover on Marvel Toy News, the one that tends to be the most difficult is the Funko Hikari Marvel vinyls. See, Funko tends to announce its new Hikaris like clockwork every Friday–but there’s no warning when a new Marvel one will be revealed, and when one is, it’s typically sold out within hours. Such is the case with the two latest additions: Funko Hikari X-Force Deadpool and Inferno Iron Man!

Not only is 2015 on track to be the biggest year ever for long-running toy lines like Marvel Legends, Funko Marvel POP Vinyls, and Hot Toys Marvel figures, but it’s also the year that a slew of new lines are kicking off spotlighting iconic Marvel characters. One of those lines is the Square-Enix Play Arts Kai Marvel Variant line, which gives us unique redesigns of beloved Marvel superheroes. The line kicked off with (yet another) Iron Man in the winter, and now its moved on to its second release: the Play Arts Kai Spider-Man figure is now available for order!
