Avengers Endgame is now the top-grossing movie of all-time, which means that virtually no scene from that movie is likely to be safe from being merchandised in one form or another (and most already have). But Iron Studios has gone to the well now for the first time to capture a moment with their BDS (Battle Diorama Series) I’m not sure any other company is going to tackle—Iron Studios Red Skull & Black Widow statues representing Black Widow running to her death are now available! Yowza!

Fans dreaming of a definitive 6″ Miles Morales from the recent animated movie are getting their wish: a MAFEX Into the Spider-Verse Miles Morales figure is now up for order!

When we made it all the way to the week of SDCC 2019 with every single Marvel Legends figure shown at Toy Fair up for PO except for the non-Fan Channel 80th Anniversary Series, it didn’t take a psychic to prophesy that they were being held onto for a grand Comic Con launch. And so it has come to pass: the Marvel Legends 80 Years series is now up for order online—including the Colossus vs. Juggeraut pack, the Amazon Exclusive Peggy Carter and Captain America set, and more!

And at SDCC 2019, they debuted their next four entries: ARTFX Premier Loki, Black Panther, Black Widow and… Cosmic Ghost Rider!?

But aside from a plethora of new action figures being announced, Hasbro also has three exclusive Marvel figures for the show. The SDCC 2019 Exclusive Marvel Legends Vintage Hulk figure is already pre-selling for $70-$80 on the aftermarket, but is he worth that inflation? Well, Hasbro sent over an early sample for me to review, so let’s bust this monster open and find out…

Randomly in the middle of Sunday afternoon seemed like a bizarre time for it to happen, but the SDCC Exclusive Funko POP Man-Thing figure was briefly up for order online! It’s been pulled now until noon EST on July 19th, so be sure to set your alarms if you missed him and fear the Man-Thing’s touch being absent from your collection!

Continue Reading →We’re under a week out from San Diego Comic Con 2019, so I would ordinarily hesitate to proclaim anything as the weirdest Marvel collectible that Sideshow Collectibles has revealed this year just yet.
