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…?

UPDATE 10/2/2019:
As expected, the Marvel Legends Punisher War Machine is now up for order online, as it turns out that he’s a regular Fan Channel Exclusive and not a Gamestop exclusive as some fans had speculated for whatever reason. Hopefully none of you fed the scalpers, because now you can buy this War Machine Punisher figure online all day long for MSRP!

Diamond Select Toys has come out strong over the last several weeks, with what seems like a new Marvel Select figure being released in stores every other week! Last month it was the exceptional Psylocke Select figure and a comic-based Sandman I think is pretty underrated. And now, the Marvel Select Captain Marvel figure in her Starforce uniform is starting to ship out via online and comic book stores! But can she compete with the Target exclusive Legends version released many months ago…?

The Fantastic Four has basically been a “nuclear” property merch-wise for quite a few years now, with very little in the way of toys and statues being released aside from a few retailer exclusive Marvel Legends. But it appears that the floodgates have now been opened, and Funko is rushing in to capitalize with a massive number of new related F4 figures: the Funko Fantastic Four POP Vinyls and Mystery Minis are now up for order, including the whole team, Doom, Galactus and more!

If there’s one thing that there hasn’t been a shortage of in the Marvel collecting world over the past several years, it’s Iron Man and War Machine action figures! I lost track long ago of just how many versions of those characters had been released by various toy companies in just the last half-decade, but they’ve reached a point of popularity where there’s always demand for new and exciting figures. And as their next release in the hyper-successful Amazing Yamaguchi series, the import Kaiyodo Revoltech War Machine Figure is now up for order!

Hasbro has been on an unprecedented run with their Marvel Legends line lately, giving collectors many upgraded figures they’ve been waiting 5, 10, or even 15+ years for. But this year’s true main event for many X-Men fans is a figure that’s been hotly demanded for TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS. I had legit half given-up on ever completing the Animated/Jim Lee roster in 6” form, but a 90s X-Men Marvel Legends Jubilee figure finally went up for sale this year! After over two and a half decades of waiting, is this the definitive Jubilee action figure?

As a mega-fan of 1990s Marvel Comics, I’ve been wanting a super-articulated action figure of Maximum Carnage fan-favorite Dopperlganger Spider ever since I was a pre-teen. While I was hyped when word leaked out he was in the works, I was mortified when I realized what his body mold choice was going to be. Now that the Marvel Legends Doppelganger Spider-Man is readily available online, I finally got up the courage to spend some time with him and render judgment in my review…
