Avengers Hot Toys Loki Shipping Soon & Almost Sold Out!

Avengers Hot Toys Loki Tom Hiddleston Movie Masterpiece with Staff

Tom Hiddleston is the heartthrob of virtually every woman (and even quite a few men) in America. So the fact that the most authentic sixth-scale figure of Tom Hiddleston ever is on the way is a pretty big deal. The fact that that figure also happens to be the villain of the Avengers movie, Loki, makes this Hot Toys figure release even more critical. It’s been a long wait for Loki (and Tom Hiddleston) fans, but the wait is just about at its end. The Avengers Hot Toys Loki Movie Masterpiece figure will be shipping out in just a few weeks–but if you haven’t already ordered him, you may end up missing out…

Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Mandarin Movie Masterpiece Announced!

Posted on by April 25, 2013

The moment that it was revealed that The Mandarin would be the primary antagonist in this summer’s “Iron Man 3” movie, speculation began to run rampant as to whether or not Hot Toys would produce an Iron Man 3 Mandarin Movie Masterpiece Series figure. While it would only seem logical for Hot Toys to make a sixth-scale figure of The Mandarin, I’ve heard numerous people insist that the Hot Toys Iron Man 3 figure line would be limited to the various armor suits seen in the movie. Luckily, Hot Toys decided to step in this morning and remove all doubt…

Funko Iron Man 3 POP! Vinyls Figures Released

Posted on by April 25, 2013
Iron Man 3 Funko POP Vinyl Deep Space Suit Iron Man Gemini Armor

I’ll be honest: I may genuinely own more vinyl collectible figures than I do action figures. See, I went through a phase where I bought hundreds (and I mean hundreds) of Disney Vinylmation vinyl figures each year. So, generally, I’m pretty aware of what’s going on in the vinyl collecting world. That’s why I was so surprised when I turned the corner at my local comic book store yesterday and came face-to-face with a display of figures I didn’t even know had been released: the Funko Iron Man 3 POP! Vinyls figure line…

Marvel Universe 2013 Mysterio Figure Hasbro

It’s been a slow year thus far for Hasbro Marvel Universe figure collectors, but things are about to start heating up! Marvel Universe 2013 Series 1 cases have now been put up for ordering and will ship out in June 2013! While it’s always a bit puzzling when the first series of the year for a toy line ships halfway through the year, I’m thankful to get some new Marvel Universe 3 3/4″ action figures at all! New figures like Mysterio and Elektra will debut in this series, and the case assortment is a pretty good one, too…

2013 Marvel Legends Figures Wave 5 Preview & Photos

Jim Lee Jean Grey Marvel Legends Figure 2013

With “Iron Man 3” being the media’s darling and at the forefront of everyone’s minds, the main Hasbro Marvel Legends line has really gotten a little bit ignored the past few months.

I needed a break from talking about Iron Man, though, so I figured I’d stop and give my thoughts and commentary on the figures coming up in the second Marvel Legends series of 2013: Marvel Legends Wave 5–the Build-A-Rocket Raccoon set…

Along with improved articulation, Hot Toys spotlighted a new feature of the Power Pose Series with this unveiling, which is cross-compatibility with their Movie Masterpiece Series! Is this feature enough to make the Iron Man Red Snapper armor a must-buy?

War Machine Iron Man 3 Kotobukiya ArtFX Statue

It’s a good thing no one ever gets tired of Iron Man merchandise (right?), because like most of the Marvel collectibles being revealed this month, the next Kotobukiya ArtFX statue comes straight out of the upcoming “Iron Man 3” movie! No, it’s not another Tony Stark Iron Man armor–this time, it’s Jim Rhodes in the suit! It’s the Iron Man 3 War Machine ArtFX Statue…

Avengers Hot Toys Hulk, Black Widow, and Captain America Sold Out!

Posted on by April 20, 2013
Avengers Hot Toys Hulk Sixth Scale Figure

Ever since they sold out last year, the Avengers Hot Toys Hawkeye and Nick Fury sixth-scale figures have exploded in price on the aftermarket. As such, many collectors have been putting the newly-released Hot Toys Avengers figures aside temporarily while they save up and spend their money to get the earlier-released Hot Toys Nick Fury and Hawkeye. And while that stratagem would seem to make sense, collectors should be on high alert: the Avengers Hot Toys Hulk, Black Widow, and Captain America figures have now all sold out as well!

Hot Toys Announces Iron Man 3 Heartbreaker Igor Red Snapper Armors

Iron Man 3 Iron Man Igor Armor Mark 38

Face facts: Getting a bazillion Hot Toys Iron Man figures from every movie he appears in is becoming as inevitable and death and taxes. And Hot Toys collectors wouldn’t have it any other way! So it would be pretty silly to say that anyone was surprised when Hot Toys announced today that they will be releasing another three Iron Man figures based on this summer’s Iron Man 3 movie: the Heartbreaker, the Mark Igor armor, and the Red Snapper armor. Now, what may actually surprise collectors is that the three Hot Toys Iron Man 3 armors are coming for three different series…

Marvel Select Flash Thompson Venom Figure Review

Posted on by April 16, 2013
Disney Store Exclusive Marvel Select Flash Venom on Base

Last week I wrote my very first Marvel Select action figure review of the Marvel Select Venom by Diamond Select Toys. I bought that classic Venom figure because I couldn’t find the figure I really wanted locally–the Marvel Select Flash Thompson Venom. Luckily, after traveling about an hour to my third-closest Disney Store, I found a Venom Flash Thompson figure to call my very own. And while I’m not convinced he’s quiet as good as DST’s classic Venom, the Marvel Select Agent Venom figure is still very, very good…

Marvel Select Thor The Dark World Movie Thor & Jane Figures Coming!

This morning Diamond Select Toys released their new product solicitations for October 2013. Among the solicitations were a few surprises (I’m pretty sure I was born to buy that Thundercats Minimates set with Ben-Gali and Lynx-O), but also some things we were fairly sure were a lock to come out. The “Thor: The Dark World” movie figures are a mixture of both–there was little question there would be a Marvel Select Thor action figure, but I doubt anybody was expecting a Marvel Select Jane Foster figure…

Crime lords better cower in fear, because the Sideshow Exclusive Punisher Premium Format Figure is packing a tiny knife! [/sarcasm]

After releasing the teaser photos last week, Sideshow unveiled in full and opened pre-orders for their brand-new Classic Punisher Premium Format Figure this week. But while fans had been salivating in anticipation of the full reveal, once collectors saw what they were getting with the Sideshow Exclusive version of the Punisher Premium Format Figure (and for what price), there was a definite air of disappointment and anger…

Marvel Select Iron Man 3 War Machine Figure with Hall of Armor Base

While it doesn’t look like the figures are going to make it out before the “Iron Man 3” movie hits theaters on May 3, 2013, Diamond Select Toys finally gave us our first look at the Marvel Select Iron Man 3 figures this week! There’s four Iron Man 3 Marvel Select action figures total that will be blasting into fans’ collections this summer, and the first two are the now fully-revealed Iron Man Mark XLII and War Machine…
