Colossus Premium Format Figure Sideshow Collectibles 2020

Sideshow Collectibles has spent the majority of the past year expanding their X-Men Premium Format Figure series primarily with female members of the roster, but it looks like they’re finally ready to start delving into the core male X-Men as well! We’ve all got hopes and dreams of seeing characters like Gambit, Cyclops and Archangel debut at SDCC 2019 next week, but the first new Comic-Con addition to the roster has already been revealed: the Sideshow Exclusive Colossus Premium Format Figure is now up for order–and he comes packing Lockheed!

Marvel Legends Hydro-Man Review (Spider-Man Far From Home Series)

Posted on by July 8, 2019
Marvel Legends Spider-Man Hydro Man 6 Inch Figure Review

Hasbro has been on a roll this year revisiting fan-favorite characters that haven’t been done since the Toybiz days, and that trend continues with today’s review. Marvel Legends Hydro-Man seemed like a shoe-in to be a quick sellout online with his unique design and appearance in Spider-Man Far From Home, but he’s stuck around longer at MSRP longer than I would have predicted. Are people overlooking a hidden gem with this Hydro-Man Legends figure, or has Hasbro misfired with this release?

Close-Up of Summer Exclusive Hot Toys Stan Lee Figure in Spacesuit

Just when it seemed as though the Toy Fair Exclusive Scarlet Spider sixth scale figure was a lock for “Fastest Hot Toys Sell-Out of 2019” after going to Wait List in under 12 hours, Hot Toys dropped a bombshell this week when they revealed an MMS that’s likely to blow poor Scarlet Spider’s sales out of the water! It’s so “out there” that many collectors never even considered it could happen, but the EXCLUSIVE Hot Toys Stan Lee in Spacesuit 1/6 figure is now up for order!

MAFEX Avengers Infinity War Thor Figure Up for Order!

Posted on by July 5, 2019
MAFEX Thor Infinity War Figure with Lightning Effects Pieces Attached

For whatever crazy reason, Bandai Tamashii didn’t have enough faith in the SH Figuarts Infinity War Thor figure to mass release it. It was a limited web exclusive in Asia, and didn’t get a domestic release at all. Consequently, that Thor Figuarts is hugely expensive and difficult for U.S. collectors to obtain now. But Medicom has wisely stepped up to bat to come to the rescue and fill the void with their own 6” scale import of the Avengers 3 God of Thunder: the MAFEX Thor Infinity War figure is now up for order!

80 Years Marvel Legends Spider-Man Anti-Venom Cowboy Wolverine

Hasbro hit collectors up with a trio of unannounced and unexpected exclusive Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Figures this spring/summer, when they put the Marvel Legends Anti-Venom, Cowboy Logan and Big-Time Spider-Man Figures up for order! When POs opened, we had a single glam shot of each figure to make our pre-ordering decision based on. But if one image isn’t enough for you (and really, it shouldn’t be), Hasbro has now sent out several new hi-res images of all three figures!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Mysterio Far From Home Movie Figure

Posted on by July 1, 2019
Review Marvel Legends Mysterio Far From Home Figure

Hasbro has been pretty on-the-ball with giving collectors pretty much every major Marvel Studios villain in 6” Marvel Legends form (sorry Malekith and Kaecillius—you don’t rate), so it wasn’t a big plot twist when they revealed we’d be getting a movie-based Marvel Legends Mysterio figure from Spider-Man Far From Home as well. Packed at just one-per-case, the new 2019 Marvel Legends Mysterio figure is already sold out on Amazon, still available for pre-order from other online retailers and likely to be a tough grab at retail. Is he worth all the fuss?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Molten Man Build-A-Figure (Far From Home)

Posted on by June 27, 2019
Molten Man Review Marvel Legends Spider-Man Far From Home Movie Figure

Spider-Man Far From Home is now less than a week away from hitting theaters, so the time is right to discuss the final Marvel Cinematic Universe movie of Phase 3 (and 2019)! Rather than going the predictable route and kicking things off with Mysterio, instead I want to review a figure that’s gotten a bum rap up until now. The Marvel Legends Molten Man Build-A-Figure is selling surprisingly low on eBay as far as ML BAFs go, but is he high-quality enough to melt my cold heart in-hand?

Spider-Man Red Black Costume Hot Toys MMS Movie Masterpiece Series Figure

“Spider-Man is the new Iron Man!” At least, that’s what all the cool kid Hot Toys collectors are saying lately, as Hot Toys has put not one, not two, but three new 1/6 Spidey MMS figures up for order already this month. But hey, maybe the fourth time time will be the charm for those who haven’t been seduced into picking up their own Spider-Man sixth scale figure yet: the Hot Toys Far From Home Upgraded Suit Spider-Man figure is now up for order! Is this the red-and-black costumed Spidey you’ve been waiting for?

REVIEW: Iron Studios Nebula Statue (Avengers Endgame BDS)

Posted on by June 25, 2019
Close-Up of Iron Studios Nebula Avengers Endgame Statue

I generally try to practice what I preach with regards to placing pre-orders for limited edition items early before they sell out and explode price-wise on the aftermarket, but sometimes I get careless (or is it lazy?). Such was the case with the first character released in the Iron Studios Avengers Endgame 1:10 Statue line, who quickly sold out worldwide and is sharply escalating in value. I ended up paying 150 bucks shipped for my Iron Studios Nebula Statue on eBay… was she worth the inflated price I had to pay to secure one at all?
