One weekend! Two conventions! Two European countries! Four all-new Marvel Legends 2020 reveals! Hasbro brought the big guns to MCM London and Paris Comic Con this weekend, where they not only announced that the first two 2020 Marvel Legends figures series would go on sale on Monday, but they also revealed four never-before-seen action figures: Spymaster! Winter Soldier! And the Demogoblin and Super Skrull Build-A-Figures!

Just when I thought I’d already posted and talked about every new Marvel collectible I saw at New York Comic Con 2019 earlier this month, I scrolled through my camera roll and discovered I’d never talked about not one, not two, not three, but four new class comic book-based Diamond Select Toys Marvel statues! (That’s four times as many Marvel statue debuts at the show than any other company!) So without further ado, let’s check out DST’s new takes on Hellcat, Hulk, Black Panther and Vision…

Well, against all odds, it looks we can cross another character off my big list of “Marvel Characters Unlikely To Ever Be Made in 6 Inch Scale Form”. Lockjaw has consistently placed at or near the top of Marvel Legends fan polls for years now, and a 6” Lockjaw is finally officially on the way—just not from Hasbro Marvel Legends! After teasing fans with it for over a year, the Mezco ONE:12 Collective Black Bolt & Lockjaw set is now up for order! (Oh yeah, that’s right–Black Bolt is here too…)

Sideshow disappointed some folks by only bringing a singular never-before-seen Marvel statue to New York Comic Con 2019 earlier this month–but luckily, it happened to be the singular most-requested character this year for the popular X-Men series. Even so, the leader of the X-Men got sort of a mild reception from the collecting sphere at the event. Now that the Sideshow Cyclops Premium Format Figure goes up for order this afternoon and all of the options and official photos have been posted, has this Cyke become a must-have….?

While it may seem like every major high-end collectibles company in the world is churning out Marvel products these days, there are actually still some holdouts out there. But that number is decreasing by one this week, as Pop Culture Shock Collectibles will be entering the fray this week with their first-ever Marvel Statue: the PCS 1:3 PS4 Spider-Man GamerVerse Statue Exclusive is now up for order! I saw it at NYCC—was I impressed enough to take notice?

In the build-up to San Diego Comic Con 2019 in July, Hot Toys posted some very obvious teasers for what are the two biggest omissions from their Avengers Endgame MMS 1/6 figure lineup: Endgame (Fat) Thor and (Professor) Hulk. Hot Toys pulled the rug out from under us by actually not displaying either of those at SDCC 2019, but as we venture further into fall, they’re finally ready to play their two biggest remaining cards: the Hot Toys Endgame Thor and Hulk figures are now up for order!

We’re only one week removed from New York Comic Con 2019, but Hasbro is already back at it again with another Marvel Legends 2020 figure reveal! Given the popularity of the PS4 Spider-Man Gamerverse figure from last year, this shouldn’t have caught me off-guard—but it did! 2020 Marvel Legends Avengers Square Enix video game figures are on the way—starting with GamerVerse Iron Man!

UPDATE 10/10/2019: For those who weren’t wild about trying their luck with a collectible figure from Target, it looks like their exclusive timed pre-order window is at an end–the Marvel Legends Stan Lee figure is now up for PO online from EE and other online retailers!
And if your preference is still other online retailers, stay tuned… I suspect those will be coming soon as well…)

While there were some quality new products revealed at New York Comic Con 2019, the quantity of fresh Marvel toys and statues that premiered at the show was a little bit lacking compared to past years. But one company that rarely lets me down is Diamond Select Toys, and they delivered once again at NYCC 2019 with over half a dozen new Marvel statues on display! And the two that caught my attention the moment I set sight on them were the Marvel Premier Collection Archangel and Juggernaut statues…

NYCC 2019 is in the books, but whereas I decided to take a couple days off to recover, Mezco Toyz was ready to capitalize on post-convention buzz with what’s likely to be one of their most successful pre-orders of the year! After a Remy Lebeau dry spell that seemed to last for ages, everything has been coming up Rajin’ Cajun in 2019—the Mezco ONE:12 Collective Gambit figure is now up for order! Can this 6” Gambit action figure triumph over the Marvel Legends and Revoltech versions…?

New York Comic Con 2019 has come and gone, and while the number of Hasbro Marvel Legends 2020 figures revealed was probably a bit less than what some fans hoped for, Hasbro still showed off some good stuff—especially keeping in … Continue Reading →
Diamond Select Toys has carved out a nice little niche for themselves as purveyors of low-priced half-scale busts over the last year, with an ever-increasing variety of limited 1:2 Legends in 3D busts arriving in the market. The headlining sub-series … Continue Reading →
When Diamond Select Toys acquired Gentle Giant last winter, my number one fear was that it might mean the end of the long-running Skottie Young Marvel Babies Animated statues series. Thankfully, the line has actually thrived under DST with a … Continue Reading →
Back at San Diego Comic Con 2019, Hasbro unveiled new Marvel Legends Doctor Doom and a modern She-Hulk figures that weren’t obviously associated with any upcoming series of figures. But today at New York Comic Con 2019, the other shoe officially dropped—a full-on Marvel Legends Fantastic Four Series is coming to mass retail to kick off 2019–and it will include new versions of all four members of the Fantastic 4 team themselves!

Literally the moment that Sideshow Collectibles unveiled their new X-Men statues of Gambit and Colossus in the build to San Diego Comic Con 2019, collectors began speculating (and demanding) that a new Sideshow Cyclops Premium Format Figure debut at New York Comic Con 2019 this year. Well, NYCC 2019 has arrived–and so has the Sideshow Premium Format Cyclops Statue that goes up for order later this month! Early buzz online has been surprisingly negative based off leaked photos, but how does he actually look in-person…?
