Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Stealth Invincible Iron Man Packaged

While the big Marvel Legends news last week was Hasbro giving fans what they’ve been asking for for years with that Alpha Flight Legends Box set of six figures, that wasn’t the only exclusive Hasbro announced! While it’s certainly not on the same level of “blockbuster” news as the Alpha Flight set, and I wouldn’t necessarily say anybody has been asking for it, an Exclusive Marvel Legends Stealth Invincible Iron Man Figure is also now up for order! Those waiting restlessly for a Tron-ish armor with an almost-lightsaber, your time has come!

Kotobukiya Thanos on Throne Fine Art Statue

Bowen Designs is a company that’s been on my tongue a lot lately since we’ve seen a small resurgence of mini-busts this year and even a Sideshow Wolverine bust last week that’s basically an updated version of the original Bowen version. And this week, the ante is being raised even higher, as we’ve got what’s essentially an update of a whole Bowen Designs 1/6 Statue: the Kotobukiya Thanos on Throne Fine Arts Statue is now up for order! Is it a worthy upgrade to the one released almost a decade ago?

Exclusive Marvel Legends ALPHA FLIGHT Set Revealed & Up for Order!

Amazon EXCLUSIVE Marvel Legends Alpha Flight 6-Pack Figures Set Box Back

The last few years, Hasbro has always saved a little something extra to reveal at Fan Expo Canada. In 2017, it was the Marvel Legends Sasquatch Build-A-Figure. And in 2018, Hasbro debuted Wendigo and Guardian. But this year, Hasbro wasn’t stopping at premiering just one or two figures–they dropped the curtain on an entire six-figure team set: the Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends Alpha Flight figures box set is now up for order! If you’ve been waiting for NorthStar and Aurora, dreaming of Snowbird or trying to save up for a Puck BAF, this is the set for you!

Sideshow DST Wolverine Busts

As prices continue to rise on large resin statues, we’re seeing a mini-resurgence of Marvel mini-busts this year with new offerings coming from Sideshow, DST and Gentle Giant. Sideshow kicked off their new line of smaller busts earlier this year with a cool Thanos, but now they’ve upped the ante with a cheaper—and more impressive—second piece: the Sideshow Wolverine Bust is now available for order! This might be the best half of a Wolverine statue I’ve ever seen…! But they’re not the only ones launching a Logan bust today…

Mr. Sinister Marvel Legends Figure Review (X-Force Series)

Posted on by August 20, 2019
Close-Up of X-Men Marvel Legends Mister Sinister Figure

It’s been a relatively uneventful week thus far for Marvel toy news, but that’s well and good with me since I’ve got a mighty stack of new Marvel Legends figure reviews to catch up on! And after looking at the headliner of the X-Force series (Nightcrawler) last time, it’s time to turn attention to the other most-hyped figure in the Wendigo Series! We last saw him in the Toybiz Sentinel series 14 years ago—has Hasbro’s recently-released Marvel Legends Mr. Sinister figure managed to improve upon Toybiz’s original version…?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Nightcrawler (X-Force Series 2019)

Posted on by August 17, 2019
X-Force Legends Nightcrawler 6" Figure Review

Although he’s universally-loved and in the upper-echelon X-Men popularity with fans, we haven’t gotten an official Marvel Legends Nightcrawler figure since the Toybiz Galactus wave in 2005. Wild! That was a terrific figure that stands the test of time, but Hasbro was finally ready to release their own Kurt Wagner this year! Despite being two per case, this Nightcrawler figure is selling out rapidly in stores and online! Is X-Force Marvel Legends Nightcrawler as good as the hype would have you believe?

Marvel Select Psylocke Figure Packaged

It’s the summer of Psylocke, as not only did the Sideshow Premium Format figure of her begin arriving this month, but now her first-ever (and almost certainly only ever) Marvel Select figure has started hitting comic book stores as well! Amazon delayed their own pre-orders to September for whatever reason, but EE has Marvel Select Psylocke in-stock for shipping right now: did DST’s Betsy Braddock 7” figure turn out good enough to own?

Iron Studios “I Am Iron Man” Endgame Statue Up for Order!

Iron Studios Avengers Endgame I Am Iron Man BDS Statue

“I am… Iron Man. *SNAP*” is likely to go down as one of the most legendary climactic moments in not just superhero movie history, but in cinematic history as a whole. And a moment like that… deserves to be captured in high-end collectible form! Hot Toys solicited their final battle Iron Man such scale figure last month, but for those who don’t have $450+ to blow on a 12” figure, now there’s an alternative: the resin Iron Studios Endgame “I Am Iron Man” Statue is now up for order!

Sideshow Psylocke Premium Format Statue Review

Life as a collector is full of little disappointments—but sometimes also big disappointments. After having the portrait changed from the original one show prior to SDCC 2018, fans cried foul when the final production head on the new Sideshow Psylocke Premium Format Figure statue turned out looking a lot… different… than anyone was expecting! I needed a 1/4 Psylocke in my life, so I went ahead and bought the Premium Format Psylocke Statue before it went to Wait List despite having some trepidations about the head. Did I make a $600 mistake? Here’s my review…

X-Force Marvel Legends Cannonball REVIEW & Photos

Review Marvel Legends Cannonball Figure X-Force

While the inaugural Marvel Legends X-Force series has several heavy-hitters like Mr. Sinister and Nightcrawler that I’ll be reviewing soon enough, today I want to focus on what’s almost certainly the most controversial ML figure this year. “Controversial” might sound a little dramatic for a toy, but there has been a lot of discussion of this action figure. You can get the new X-Force Marvel Legends Cannonball figure for about 20 bucks shipped right now—but should you?

Marvel Legends Wendigo Review Hasbro 2019

From the moment that Hasbro placed the Marvel Legends Sasquatch Build-A-Figure on display in Canada close to two years ago, it was a foregone conclusion that we’d eventually see that mold reused in white for a Wendigo. And to the surprise of no one, that day has arrived and the not-so-mythical monster can now be assembled! You can build your own Marvel Legends Wendigo by buying all the figures in the X-Force Legends Series—but should you?

Nendoroid DX Miles Morales Spider-Man Figure

Another week, another company getting in on some of that sweet, sweet Miles Morales merch money! Up until now, Good Smile Company has had their Marvel Nendoroids focus squarely on characters with their own live-action movies—but the success of Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse was too monumental to ignore, and the Nendoroid Miles Morales Spider-Man figure is now up for order! The DX version comes with loads of accessories including a whole second body—but is this 4” figure worthy of his $80+ MSRP?
