Funko Deadpool Wacky Wobbler Figure Released!

Posted on by October 22, 2014
Funko Wacky Wobblers Deadpool Figure Bobble-Head

In a world where many toy companies are showing off figures six months to a year (sometimes more) before those toys go up for sale, I’m always taken by surprise when Funko will pull something out of their hat and officially announce a new toy a couple of days before it’s supposed to be released. Generally these tend to be upcoming Marvel Funko POP! Vinyls, but this time the new Marvel figure comes from a less popular line: Wacky Wobblers Bobble-Heads. But hey, who better to get folks talking about a line than a Marvel character who won’t shut up: the Funko Deadpool Wacky Wobblers figure has now been released!

NYCC 2014 Marvel Minimates Wave 60 Revealed! Banshee! Blob!

Posted on by October 22, 2014
Marvel Minimates Wave 60 Banshee Jubilee Storm Gambit Figures

Most of the exhibitors at New York Comic Con 2014 put out all of their new Marvel collectibles on the first day of the show, but at least one company held something glorious back in reserve. Diamond Select Toys had a great booth and display case full of Marvel toys when NYCC 2014 opened, but the display case got even better later on in the show, when an all-new wave of Marvel Minimates figures appeared–the Marvel Minimates Wave 60 Classic X-Men and Brotherhood of Evil Mutants series!

UPDATE: Marvel Minimates Wave 60 is now up for order!

NYCC 2014 Kotobukiya She-Hulk Bishoujo Statue Revealed!

Posted on by October 21, 2014

If she was a real woman, I would marry She-Hulk. Aside from being a brilliant lawyer and a virtuous superhero, She-Hulk is also quite the looker. So when I heard Kotobukiya was bringing the painted Bishoujo She-Hulk statue prototype to New York Comic 2014 to be shown off for the first time, I knew what my first stop at the show (after attempting to pick up my Funko exclusives) was going to be…

UPDATE 10/21: The Kotobukiya She-Hulk Bishoujo statue is now up for order!

Funko Hikari Groot Vinyl Figure

It was just a week ago that Funko “won” New York Comic Con 2014 for me when they showed off an entire display case filled with previously unannounced Funko Hikari Groot Vinyl Figures at the Toy Tokyo booth. Not wanting to wait too long to cash in on the hype and popularity of Guardians of the Galaxy, Funko has fast-tracked their super-sized 11″ Groot figure, and he’s now expected to arrive this winter: the limited edition Groot Funko Hikari figure is now up for order!

X-Men Days of Future Past Wolverine Hot Toys Sixth Scale Figure

If there’s a real tragedy about this summer’s X-Men Days of Future Past movie (besides the absurd lack of merch released for the film), it’s that we never really got to see Future Wolverine in action in his stylish future costume.

But thanks to the considerate folks over at Hot Toys, soon we’ll all be able to make Wolverine fight to our hearts’ content in his future attire: the Hot Toys X-Men Days of Future Past Wolverine Sixth Scale Figure is now up for order!

Marvel Legends Target Three-Pack Released! Radioactive Man!

Marvel Legends Target Three Pack Ms Marvel Captain America Radioactive Man

It’s been a very weird year for Hasbro Marvel Legends collectors. After kicking off the year in grandiose fashion with the Amazing Spider-Man Marvel Legends and Captain America Marvel Legends 2014 series, we got the X-Men Marvel Legends and Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends in July. And, well… that’s it for the 2014 Marvel Legends figures. With one exception: announced at SDCC 2014, the Target Exclusive Marvel Legends three-pack of Marvel Legends Ms. Marvel, Captain America and Radioactive Man has now been released!

Sideshow Spider-Man Classic Statue Up for Order!

Classic Spider-Man Sideshow Statue Close-Up Head

I love a good action figure repaint as much as the next guy, especially when it’s a well-done and fan-requested version of a character that collectors have been asking for. In the case of statues that cost hundreds of dollars, I’m a bit more picky.

So while I’m not jumping for joy at the existence of a red-and-black J. Scott Campbell Spider-Man, I totally respect those excited for this repaint: the Sideshow Classic Spider-Man Comiquette is now up for order!

Dangerous Spider-Man Funko Hikari Barnes and Noble Exclusive

Back at San Diego Comic Con 2014, Funko shocked Marvel vinyl collectors’ wallets when they unexpectedly debuted a half-dozen super-sized 8-10″ Funko Hikari Spider-Man figures at the show. But other than the Blaze Spider-Man Hikari going up for order, we haven’t heard a peep about these since summer. At least, not until today! The exclusive Funko Hikari Dangerous Spider-Man figure is now up for order, but the most “dangerous” thing about it may be the price…

NYCC 2014 Kotobukiya Rogue Statue 2015

I’ve covered all of the totally new items that appeared at New York Comic Con 2014 now, but there were plenty more freshly updated items on display at the convention as well. One such item was the long in development Kotobukiya Rogue X-Men Danger Room Sessions Fine Arts Statue.

This statue has changed drastically from the first time we saw it years ago, and for the first time ever, we got to see Rogue painted at NYCC 2014! Was she worth the wait?

Of all the companies debuting new Marvel toys and Collectibles at New York Comic Con 2014 over the weekend, no company brought more new Marvel figures to premiere at NYCC 2014 than Diamond Select Toys!

I haven’t even had a chance to uploads all of my photos from the NYCC 2014 Diamond Select Toys booth and talk about all of the goodness that they brought to the show, but DST has already unleashed their next release upon us!

It’s the third Disney Store exclusive Marvel Select figure of 2014, and it’s another variation of a headliner character: the all-new Marvel Select Bleeding Edge Iron Man figure is now up for order!

NYCC 2014 Marvel Play Arts Kai Spider-Man Announced!

Posted on by October 13, 2014

If I wasn’t expecting Square-Enix to debut a Marvel Play Arts Kai variant figures line at New York Comic Con 2014 by unexpectedly showing off the Play Arts Kai Iron Man figure (and I was not), then I definitely wasn’t expecting the second figure from the line to be revealed as well.

Square-Enix oftentimes likes to take their dear sweet time, but I guess they were just too excited about Play Arts Kai Spider-Man to wait!

Kotobukiya X-Men ArtFX+ Statues Announcement

This summer Kotobukiya began teasing Marvel collectors about their next line of Marvel NOW! ARTFX+ statues that would be following up the hit Avengers ARTFX+ series.

Once Kotobukiya declared the series would be of another ultra-popular Marvel superhero team, it didn’t take a genius to guess who Kotobukiya was talking about, but today Kotobukiya announced it officially at NYCC 2014: the Kotobukiya X-Men ARTFX+ statues series will begin in 2015!

NYCC 2014 Funko Hikari Groot Figures Revealed!

Posted on by October 13, 2014

I had a terrible first hour and a half at New York Comic Con 2014 this year, as I immediately got into the Toy Tokyo line at show opening at noon. At 1:25, after 85 minutes and moving four steps forward, I flipped out and walked off.

BUT–!!

It was worth my meaningless hour and a half in line, because when storming off I caught sight of the just-revealed Funko Hikari Groot vinyl figures!

NYCC 2014 Marvel Legends 2015 Age of Ultron Hulk & Captain America Figures!

Posted on by October 13, 2014
Avengers Age of Ultron Marvel Legends 2015 Hulk Figure

Rather than having a physical presence at New York Comic Con 2014 itself, Hasbro again held a night-before-NYCC party last night where they debuted a small handful of figures.

Not a whole lot of interest was shown, but the first two Avengers Age of Ultron Marvel Legends 2015 figures did make their debut: Captain America and the Hulk! Are they everything I ever hoped and dreamed of?
