Avengers Age of Ultron Minimates Wave 2 Revealed!

Hulkbuster Iron Man and Vision Minimates Avengers Age of Ultron Wave 2

Diamond Select Toys can be pretty hit or miss with releasing movie Marvel Minimates in time for a new flick’s theatrical release, as corresponding Minimates sometimes hit months after a film’s release.

But the first set of Avengers Age of Ultron Minimates was right on schedule and is currently on store shelves–and now we can look forward to Avengers Age of Ultron Minimates Wave 2 arriving late this summer, including Vision, Bruce Banner, Hulk and Hulkbuster Iron Man!

Exclusive AOU Hot Toys War Machine Up for Order!

Hot Toys War Machine Mark II Figure Avengers Age of Ultron

Given the thousands of dollars of Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron figures that have gone up for pre-order in the past few months, I really thought that Hot Toys might be giving their collectors a week off from the financially-crippling onslaught of new pre-orders. But, as happens from time to time, I thought wrong. Not only is there a new Age of Ultron Hot Toys figure going up for order this week–but it’s a limited exclusive: the Sideshow exclusive die-cast Hot Toys War Machine Mark II is now up for order! But wait a minute… didn’t I already buy this figure…?

Marvel Universe Black Cat Figure Review & Photos 2015

Marvel Infinite Series Black Cat & Miles Morales Figures

While the Hasbro Marvel Legends Infinite Series 3 3/4″ figures are back in 2015 for another year, the style and articulation level of new molds have undergone a drastic change going forward. This switch hasn’t exactly been met with open arms by collectors, but I decided to pick up the new Black Cat figure for review anyway.

Is she good? Sort of. Is the Marvel Infinite Series Black Cat worth buying for $13-$15…? Well…

Avengers Age of Ultron Titan Hero Ultron Figures Released!

Titan Hero Tech Ultron Figure Hasbro 2015

“Your armor is a joke–just like your species!” Although the Hasbro Avengers Age of Ultron toys have been on shelves for a couple of months now, there was a little something missing from most of the lines that have been released: a little something called Ultron himself!

But two new Hasbro Ultron figures have now appeared in stores: Titan Hero Ultron and the electronic, smack-talking Titan Tech Ultron figure!

Exclusive Funko Hikari Metallic Hulk Up for Order! LE 750!

Metallic Hulk Funko Hikari Figure Box

If some hoodlum ever stopped me on the street and demanded at gunpoint to know what my favorite line was that I saw among the hundreds of new toys at the 2015 Toy Fair in February, I’d be able to answer without much thought all all: Funko Hikari. And while most of the Hikari at the show that caught my eye were Star Wars-themed, a whole assortment of Hulks debuted there as well. And the time for the first Hulk has now come–the exclusive Funko Hikari Metallic Hulk is now up for order!

Disney Store Exclusive Marvel Legends Avengers 5-Pack!

Marvel Legends Avengers Disney Store Exclusive 5-Pack

I’m very fond of Marvel Toy News’ track record of only having reported news that’s ended up being 100% true since the site’s inception, so I tend to err on the side of caution with what gets reported here. As such, when a totally unannounced Marvel Legends 5-Pack consisting entirely of old molds turned up in an auction listing–on April Fools’ Day–I hesitated to report it. But as it turns out, looks like I’m the fool–Hasbro has now confirmed that this European Disney Store Exclusive Marvel Legends 5-Pack is the real deal!

Toy Fair 2015: Funko Agent Melinda May POP! Vinyls Figure Revealed!

Melinda May Figure Funko POP! Vinyls 2015

The Cavalry has arrived!! Heading into New York Toy Fair 2015 this weekend, I didn’t have a lot of hope for seeing many new Marvel POP! Vinyls, as Funko just revealed eight Funko Avengers Age of Ultron POP Vinyls last month. And on my first visit to the Funko booth at NY Toy Fair 2015, the only new item I saw was the Deadpool Chimichanga Truck. But once I flipped through the catalog at my hotel, I realized one more new Marvel POP! was at the show: the Funko Melinda May from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.!

UPDATE: The Funko Agent May POP Vinyls figure is now up for order!

Marvel Mashers Groot Figure Packaged

With all of the recent releases in the past month from the more collector-oriented lines like Marvel Select, Marvel Legends and Marvel Infinite Series, I’ve neglected reporting on new figures from one of my favorite guilty-pleasure lines: Marvel Super Hero Mashers! If you’re a mash-up fan, get excited, because new Marvel Mashers Groot, Skaar, Logan, Bearded Thor and more have now been released online and in stores!

Marvel Infinite Series Wave 7 Photos & Case Ratios! Shanna!

Marvel Universe Doctor Octopus Hasbro Figure Packaged

The year is off to a controversial start for the long-running Hasbro Marvel Infinite Series (AKA Marvel Universe) toy line, as prices for the line are at an all-time high and articulation has been reduced to an all-time low. That said, the first wave of 2015 Marvel Infinite Series had some strong figures in it, and based off the case ratios and prototypes, the next wave will have some hot characters in it as well. Marvel Infinite Series Wave 7–including Shanna the She-Devil and the Vulture–is now up for order!

Avengers Marvel Legends Thanos Build-A-Figure Review & Photos

2015 Marvel Legends Thanos Build-A-Figure Review

Although there are over 8,000 Marvel heroes and villains, less than 500 of them are characters that most people have ever heard of. And so, with hundreds of figures now released, there are very few major omissions left. And this year, perhaps the most prominent missing villain has finally arrived: Thanos!

Is it worth buying five of the Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 2 figures to build the Thanos Build-A-Figure…?

The king of exclusive figures is at it once again! This week, photos leaked out of the Phillipines of a variety of announced–and unannounced–exclusive Funko POP Vinyls figures scheduled to be released this spring. Some of these are figures that we had heard rumors of, and some of them are totally unexpected.

Funko Gamma Glow Hulk POP Vinyl Review & Photos

Funko Gamma Glow Hulk POP Vinyls Figure Review

While Funko has traditionally kept their comic book movie lines of POP Vinyl figures reasonably small, after the runaway success of last year’s Guardians of the Galaxy POP! Vinyls, Funko has started to think big! As such, even though the movie isn’t even out yet, Funko already has twelve Avengers Age of Ultron POP Vinyls figures either already in stores or on the way! Three of those figures are exclusive variants, and while the first exclusive I picked up is the Funko Gamma Glow Hulk POP Vinyl, I unfortunately can’t exactly give him a glowing review…
