In the wake of the mega-success of Avengers Endgame, We’ve seen Marvel movie collectibles being rolled out at breakneck speed over the past month. But one company whose focus this month hasn’t been MCU-centric at all this month is Diamond Select Toys, whose fresh solicitations this month are all classic comic book-based: the resin Marvel Premier Collection Carnage Statue, Red Hulk and 90s Spider-Man Gallery PVC statues, X-Factor Minimates and more are now up for order!

When Hasbro finally released an updated Marvel Legends Rogue Jim Lee-styled figure in the inaugural X-Men Legends series in 2016, fans went wild for her and devoured her off shelves for months. 3 years later, that figure is in such demand it can fetch $100+ on the aftermarket! Many collectors who missed out can’t afford her these days, but DST’s potential substitute is flying in to the rescue: the Marvel Select Rogue figure is now in-stock online with free shipping!

If there’s one thing that Marvel Legends collectors could have confidently bet their life on coming out of Avengers Endgame, it’s that Hasbro would cash in on the sure-thing best-seller that is a “Worthy” Captain America figure. And now that all spoiler embargos have been listed, the announcement has transpired—but in an unexpected way: the Walmart Exclusive Marvel Legends Endgame Captain America with Mjolnir figure has now been revealed!

Sideshow Collectibles has gone all-in on their X-Men Premium Format Figure series of 1:4 statues, attacking collectors’ wallets with more fervor and enthusiasm than I can ever remember from them. It seems like every other week we’re seeing another statue revealed and put up for sale, and the next piece in the rapid-fire parade is now on the hunt for our dollars: the Sideshow Exclusive Sabretooth Premium Format Figure is now up for order! Is this piece “EX or bust”?

UPDATE 5/23/2019: …Well here’s a reissue that’s been a long time in the making…! When Diamond Select Toys released Carnage back in 2015, he was instantaneously sold out pretty much across the entire internet. After years of selling for double MSRP or more online, the DST Marvel Select Carnage figure is finally back up for order! 4 years and a couple Hasbro Carnages later, will this symbiote be as popular today as it was way back when?

While the Mezco Marvel ONE:12 Collective series has been going strong (and growing a rabid following) for over three years now, we’ve only had a singular comic book villain solicited for the line in all that time: two versions of the Red Skull. But Mezco Toyz is bringing on a bad guy for their latest pre-order, as the Master of Magnetism they debuted a prototype of over 10 months ago is finally officially on the way: the ONE:12 Collective Magneto figure is now up for order!

Wolverine is miles away from being one of my favorite Mutants, but he’s such a central figure on so many X-Men rosters across eras that I own dozens of figures of him. But one iteration I’ve managed to avoid owning (even in Funko Pop form!) is his original “origin” look. …At least, until now! I needed the last piece to build the Caliban Build-A-Figure, so I had to order the new Hasbro X-Men Marvel Legends Weapon X figure. But to my humongous surprise—I’m actually glad I had to buy this Wolverine…

The new Marvel Legends 80 Years figure reveals and pre-orders over the past two weeks—Cowboy Wolverine and Big Time Spider-Man—have gotten a bit of a varied reaction from fans. But tonight, Hasbro has freshly solicited another item in the series—and I suspect this one will NOT be getting such a tepid response: the Marvel Legends Hulk vs. First Appearance Wolverine Two-Pack is now up for order!

Traditionally, MCU statues have lingered for a little while before selling out. But if there’s ever been a Marvel movie statue destined to sell out like lightning, this is it: the Iron Studios Avengers Endgame Captain America 1/4 statue with Mjolnir is now up for order! If this doesn’t sell out within a few hours, I will be truly shocked! Who’s in for what may end up being the most hyped MCU statue ever?

You want it—you got it! While the overall response to the Hot Toys Avengers Endgame Captain America figure that’s now up for order has been positive, there were still a few things fans were hoping for. Namely: a (spoileriffic) Mjolnir hammer and a broken Captain America shield… plus a new and more accurate Steve Rogers Chris Evans portrait. Well, Hot Toys has now released photos confirming they’re three-for-three fulfilling those requests! Do these additions make this the definitive Captain America for you?

Kotobukiya’s Marvel ARTFX+ line of 1/10th scale PVC statues used to rule the land, but in a changing market with increased prices and much more competition, Koto has definitely stumbled a bit in recent times. They unveiled their new high-end line of plastic 1:10 Marvel ARTFX Premier statues at New York Toy Fair, but collector response has been lukewarm thus far. Can today’s solicitation of the 5th piece in the line buck the trend? The Kotobukiya She-Hulk ARTFX Premier Statue is now up for order!

With the embargo lifted off of Avengers Endgame spoilers, we’re beginning to see the full force of movie merch solicitations finally starting to pour in. And perhaps the company most capitalizing on the rollout is a surprise—Iron Studios! After the expansive series of a dozen-plus Infinity War statues they released last year, I wasn’t sure we’d see a repeat performance of that magnitude—but the Iron Studios Endgame Rescue, Scarlet Witch, Star-Lord and Doctor Strange BDS statues are all up for order now—with many more characters to come!

Hasbro has had far more hits than misses since the Return of Marvel Legends began in 2012, but occasionally there’s been a hiccup along the way. One of those snafus came in the Arnim Zola series, when the black Stealth Suit Spider-Man figure arrived and was, well… green. Fans have always been discontent about that release, and after 7 years, a “make-good” is on the way: an exclusive Marvel Legends Big Time Spider-Man figure is now up for order!

UPDATE: Well, here’s a crazy and welcome surprise! I thought Hot Toys was going to price it at a cool grand, but the Hot Toys Life-Size Nano Gauntlet is up for order for “only” 377 bucks! That’s less than half the price charged for Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet last year! And the 1/4 Iron Man and Hulk versions are both under 150 each! I am shocked and very pleased with this pricing! Knowing how value-priced Hot Toys’ Life-Size Gauntlet is, are you in?
