Marvel Mashers Ultimate Avengers Set! Stealth Iron Man!

Marvel Super Hero Mashers Ultimate Avengers Set Released

I know that there’s no way that I can one-up the unbridled excitement that yesterday’s discussion of this year’s Marvel Candy Bowls drummed up, so I’m not even going to try to match that high mark today. No, instead I’m going to talk about something a little more mass-market today. Hasbro has been pleased with the performance of its Marvel Super Hero Mashers toy line over the past year, and in honor of the Avengers Age of Ultron movie, they’re giving us one of the most loaded sets yet: the Marvel Mashers Ultimate Avengers Set with Stealth Iron Man and Captain America figures!

Marvel Candy Bowl Holders! Rocket Raccoon Venom Thor!

Rocket Raccoon Candy Bowl Holder

I mentioned in my review of the Jubilee Bishoujo statue yesterday that there was a first time for everything. Well, I guess today it’s time for another first, because I’m going to be discussing something that can probably only be considered a “toy” at all by the barest of margins. The latest Marvel statues (of a sort) come from Rubie’s Costume Company–and they actually serve a functional purpose! The Rocket Raccoon, Thor and Venom Candy Bowl Holders are now up for order!

Kotobukiya Jubilee Bishoujo Statue Review & Photos

When it comes to the Kotobukiya line of Bishoujo statues, I’m one of the harshest critics out there. As much as I love most of Kotobukiya’s offerings, I often find their Bishoujo statues (such as Starfire and Spider-Woman) to be posed both demeaning and objectifying. There’s a first time for everything, though, and tonight I’ll be raving about the Kotobukiya Jubilee Bishoujo statue. Bishoujo Jubilee is available now for 20% off and free shipping online–Should you buy her…? Does a mall babe eat chili fries?

Kotobukiya Cyclops ARTFX+ X-Men Statue Revealed

I saw tons of fresh and exciting upcoming Marvel collectibles at New York Toy Fair 2015 last month, but the single biggest disappointment for me was what wasn’t at the show: the Kotobukiya X-Men ARTFX+ statues quietly announced at NYCC 2014.

I feared major delays, but luckily, I only had to wait a month to see the first complete prototype–the Marvel Now X-Men Kotobukiya Cyclops ARTFX+ statue!

Hasbro Quicksilver Titan Hero Action Figure Close-Up

Ever since toy manufacturers began revealing the lineups for their Avengers: Age of Ultron toys, collectors have been complaining about the lack of Scarlet Witch, Vision and Quicksilver figures.

But now you can rejoice, collectors–because Hasbro has finally released the Quicksilver action figure we’ve all been waiting for: the Titan Hero Quicksilver figure has now been released!

While it’s not the most limited Marvel Premium Format statue ever released, it’s certainly among the shortest runs.

Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron Cosbaby Series 2! Vision!

Posted on by March 10, 2015
Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron Cosbaby Series 2 and 1.5

Last month, Hot Toys debuted an all-new range of super-deformed bobble-head figures called the Artist Mix Collection. Seeing as how these figures utilize a very similar size and are all super-deformed bobble figures, I assumed that we’d be getting the Avengers Age of Ultron Artist Mix Series instead of an Avengers Age of Ultron Cosbaby line. I assumed wrong. Last week, Hot Toys showed off the first six Avengers Cosbabies, and now they’ve followed up by revealing Series 1.5 and Series 2–including Cosbaby Vision, Black Widow and Hulkbuster Iron Man!

Avengers Marvel Legends Spider-Woman Figure Packaged

It was a week ago today that Hasbro allowed online retailers to start taking pre-orders for the Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 2 Thanos Series of action figures. Because of the case-pack ratios (where four of the six figures are packed at one-per-case), the vast majority of stores are only selling full cases (or complete sets at a markup) of the Avengers Legends Wave 2 figures. But what if you just want a Marvel Legends Batroc Spider-Woman…? Have no fear: Amazon is now pre-selling all six Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 2 figures for about retail price and with free shipping!

Black Widow Funko POP Vinyls Avengers Age of Ultron Figure

As it turns out, there really are six core members of the Avengers team in Avengers: Age of Ultron. When toy companies started unveiling their Avengers Age of Ultron toys and there were few Black Widow figures to be found, there was an outcry for more Black Widow merch.
