Sideshow Collectibles has been diving deep and hard into the X-Men since they began their wave of new statues with the Wolverine Premium Format Format Figure back in 2017. And now that we’re in the double-digits of X-characters released or solicited, they’re ready to cycle back to who brought them to the dance again: the new Sideshow Logan Premium Format Figure goes up for order today! The 2017 Wolverine Statue has been widely acclaimed—can Logan reach the same heights?

The most-anticipated series of every year for a large contingent of Marvel Legends collectors is the annual X-Men Legends series, and while we’ve got some offshoot waves coming later in the year, the core wave has begun arriving! While this is another stacked series, the 2019 X-Men Legends Build-A-Figure is a little… less… demanded than the majority of the wave. The Marvel Legends Caliban BAF can already be found for around just 50 bucks online… but is he comparatively cheap because he’s bad, or just in low demand…?

Just when it looked like the most exciting thing to happen to me Marvel collecting-wise this week was going to be finding the new Mysterio Berry Dr. Pepper, a photo leaked online Friday afternoon of a previously unannounced Marvel Legends 80 Years figure of what appeared to be a brand new Wolverine variant. We didn’t have long to wait until an official announcement of exactly what that figure was: the Exclusive Marvel Legends Cowboy Logan Wolverine figure is now up for order! I’m not sure anyone was crying out for a new ML Logan–but now that he’s here, he does look pretty sweet…

Although it’s just the second day of May, it’s never too early to start planning for the biggest collecting event of the summer: San Diego Comic Con! And in that vein, Diamond Select Toys is striking first blood this year: the full range of DST SDCC 2019 Exclusives are now up for pre-order online! There’s a variety of neat stuff (including a wacky Michelangelo as Batman figure), but on the Marvel front, we’ve got an X-Force Deadpool 1/2 Scale bust and three variant Marvel Gallery figures: X-Force Deadpool/X-23 and a SHIELD Captian Marvel statue!

New York Toy Fair is such an immense spectacle of toy reveals and announcements that it’s veritably impossible to cover everything that premieres at the event. And one item that I didn’t have the opportunity to talk about that debuted at the 2019 Toy Fair in unpainted form is now ready to be officially shown off in all its surprising glory: the Sentinel Marvel Sofbinal Venom Statue is now up for order! If you never thought you’d be interested in a soft vinyl figure, this just might change your mindset…

Just as I had resigned myself to having to wait until July for my X-Men Marvel Legends 2019 figures I ordered online arriving, I got a shipping confirmation for Beast! Turns out Amazon is shipping the figures as they get cases in, regardless of their stated “release date”. Looks like I’ll be waiting a bit for the rest of the Caliban series to arrive, but since Mrs. McCoy’s baby boy has bounced in, I’d be remiss if I didn’t review Beast ASAP…

Happy Avengers Endgame Day! Fans aren’t the only ones rejoicing that the movie has finally arrived, as we can expect merchandisers to roll out a steady stream of new toys for the movie over the next few weeks. And Hot Toys has saved two of their most-anticipated updated characters to launch today: the Hot Toys Endgame Captain America and Black Widow 1:6 figures are now up for order! Is it worth tossing your old versions in a box in favor of these new ones?

When the 1/4 Sideshow Juggernaut Maquette Statue went up for order last month, collectors were aghast at the $1300+ price-tag and hoped that it was some sort of erroneous anomaly, the likes of which we would never see again. Alas, history has repeated itself. The much talked-about Exclusive Sideshow Gladiator Hulk Maquette goes up for sale today, but if you want it, you’ll have to drop another mortgage-like payment to call it your own…

Mezco Toyz had two trump cards up their sleeve at New York Toy Fair 2019, where they quietly snuck two unannounced Marvel ONE:12 Collective figures into their product catalog. One of the two was Gambit, and the other is Khonshu’s Fist himself, Marc Spector! Mezco has had squat to say about either of those characters since Toy Fair, but today we get the full details and a variety of official photos of one of them—because the ONE:12 Collective Moon Knight 6” figure is now up for order! Is this the definitive 6” Moon Knight?

UPDATE: Retailers slightly jumped the gun last night, but for those who still need to place their Marvel Legends Spider-Man Far From Home series orders, POs are back online for cases including Mysterio, Hydro-Man, Scorpion, Doppelganger and more!
In addition, there’s Good News/Bad News for those who want single figures! Good: Amazon has singles of Marvel Legends Movie Mysterio, Scorpion, Hydro-Man & co. up for PO individually!
Bad news: They’re currently dated to ship a month after other online retailers. But worth waiting if you want to pick and choose, right?

Spider-Man Far From Home toys are officially allowed to launch today, and that means the (perhaps Hydro-Man induced?) flood is upon us! Hasbro solicited many of their toys overnight, and now it’s Funko’s turn up at bat! The Funko Spider-Man Far From Home POP Vinyls and Mystery Minis are now up for order, including Mysterio, Hydro-Man, Molten Man and more! And if you love exclusives, don’t worry–the King of Exclusive has plenty of those lined up as well…

UPDATE 4/22/2019: It’s launch day for Spider-Man Far From Home toys, and all three LEGO sets are now in-stock online with free shipping! It’s been ages since I actually opened up and build a LEGO set, but I do want me some little LEGO Mysterio and Tom Holland minifigures…

With five days until the Avengers Endgame movie hits theaters, I’m continuing on with my look at the first wave of 2019 Marvel Legends Avengers series figures! Last time, I reviewed an obscure character in Citizen V who Hasbro pretty much perfectly in toy form. Going back to the obscurity well, today I’m going to review the Avengers Endgame Legends Living Laser figure collectors will need to buy in order to build Armored Thanos. ML Living Laser certainly looks unique—but is he actually a good toy?

When Diamond Select Toys announced their acquisition of Gentle Giant Ltd. a few months back, it left the fates of a number of popular Gentle Giant lines open-ended. I feared for the future of my favorite ongoing series of Skottie Young-inspired mini-statues, but us Marvel Babies fans can all breathe a sigh of relief: the line is continuing, and a Marvel Animated Captain Marvel Statue with huge price reduction and edition size cut is now up for order! And that’s not all for Carol fans—there’s a Premier Collection Captain Marvel resin statue as well!

Kotobukiya took the ARTFX+ collecting world by surprise at New York Toy Fair 2019, where they announced a new line of high-end ARTFX Premier statues with extensive detailing in their tried-and-true classic 1:10 scale format. Captain America, Thor and Iron Man quickly launched for POs after Toy Fair, and now it’s time for the last of the four pieces that debuted there: the Kotobukiya Immortal Hulk ARTFX Premier Statue is now up for order! But even with premium details, is a 7” PVC statue worth $200…?
