REVIEW: Marvel Legends Bishop Figure (Deadpool Sauron Series)

Posted on by November 10, 2018
Marvel Legends 2018 Bishop Figure Close-Up

With no more major toy conventions in 2018 and the Black Panther Legends M’Baku Series at least a month away from shipping out (and very possibly being held for a January 1st, 2019 release date), we’re likely going to be going through a bit of a Marvel Legends news dry spell once again for the rest of the year. Which means it’s time to dig into the big cache of unreviewed figures once again! Last time, I talked about one of the best Build-A-Figures ever in Sauron, and this time, let’s look at one of the Deadpool Wave 2 figures you need to buy to build him: Marvel Legends Bishop!

Gentle Giant Carnage Mini Bust Close-Up

One of the most extravagant Marvel collectibles of the entire year went up for sale yesterday, in the form of the ultra-huge and ultra-expensive Sideshow Venom Life Size Bust. But what about collectors who dig symbiote busts and don’t have $1,200 to spare or a mansion to display humongous statues in? Well, Gentle Giant Ltd. has something worked up just for you! We don’t see many mini busts released these days, but a surprisingly limited Gentle Giant Carnage Bust has now been put up for order… with just 450 pieces being produced!

Sideshow Collectibles Venom Life Size Bust Up for Order!

Venom Life Sized Bust Sideshow Collectibles NYCC 2018

UPDATE 11/8/2018: Sideshow’s Venom Life-Size Bust was the single thing that impressed me most at NYCC 2018, and just a month later, the 27.5″ tall Sideshow Venom LSB is up for PO! It’s both WAY WAY too big and WAY WAY too expensive for me to add to my collection, but is anyone planning to pick up what has to be among the coolest (and biggest) Venom items ever made?

Revoltech Gambit Figure Photos & Up for Order! (Kaiyodo X-Men)

Gambit Action Figure Kaiyodo Revoltech 2019 With Angry Face

Hasbro and Kaiyodo have been playing a little game of one-upmanship with the X-Men over the last year, with both companies releasing competing 6” Psylocke and yellow Wolverine figures in rapid succession to each other. And now, that trend is continuing with a release that I think may put all of the previous Revoltech Marvel figures to shame. Hot on the heels of the Hasbro Marvel Legends Gambit being announced, the Kaiyodo Revoltech Gambit is now up for order—and it just may be the single coolest piece of Gambit merch ever!

EXCLUSIVE Marvel Select Infinity War Iron Man Mark 50 Up for Order!

Iron man Mark 50 Marvel Select Figure with Nanotech Cannon

When Diamond Select Toys announced their Marvel Select Avengers Infinity War lineup last winter, it sort of threw most collectors for a loop. Captain America, Thor and… Spider-Man? Would the Big Three be incomplete in MS figure form again? But hold the phone—turns out DST had a trump card hidden up their sleeve: the EXCLUSIVE Marvel Select Infinity War Iron Man figure is now up for order… and it’s shipping before any of their other figures from the movie!

After a long string of announcements and reveals at various cons spread across Europe and North America, we finally know every figure that’s part of what’s traditionally the most popular wave of the year: X-Men Legends! While buzz surrounding the Caliban Build-A-Figure isn’t exactly setting the world on fire, some of the characters in this series are ones fans have been demanding for the last decade and a half (or longer): new Marvel Legends Beast, Gambit and Jim Lee Jubilee figures!

Lucca Marvel Legends Six Armed Spider-Man and Puma Figures

The trifecta is now complete, as today Hasbro had their third panel at an international convention in under a week—at Lucca Comics & Games 2018! After seemingly accidentally having the final two figures in the Spider-Man Marvel Legends Kingpin Series briefly in the display case at MCM London last week, we were expecting to see that duo officially confirmed today. And now they have been: Marvel Legends Puma and Six-Armed Spider-Man!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Sauron Build-A-Figure (Deadpool Series)

Marvel Legends Sauron Build-A-Figure Review

Last weekend was a good one for Marvel Legends fans, with six new figures debuting at two different cons! And it’s not over yet, with a few more 2019 figures to be officially revealed at Lucca Comics & Games convention this week! But while we wait, it’s time for me to dig back into my deep cache of this year’s Hasbro figures that I haven’t reviewed yet, and today I’m reviewing one of the biggest (literally and metaphorically speaking) figures of the year: the Marvel Legends Sauron Build-A-Figure is selling for $60+ on the aftermarket–is he worth it?

Sideshow Exclusive Blue Ghost Rider Classic Sixth Scale Figure

The Sideshow Marvel Sixth Scale Figure line has had a few hits and a few misses with fans, but almost unquestionably their most well-received release to date has been their 1/6 Ghost Rider Figure. But for those who missed out on that sold-out figure or prefer a more classic take on the Spirit of Vengeance, you’re in luck: the Sideshow Exclusive Classic Ghost Rider 1/6 figure is now up for order… and he’s limited to a crazy-low 350 pieces!

Marvel Legends MCM London Comic Con Reveals

This is a unique, landmark weekend for Hasbro, because for the very first time ever, they’re unveiling new 2019 Marvel Legends figures at two major international conventions in separate countries in Europe! At Comic Con Paris, we got our first gander at the new Grey Gargoyle and Loki figures. And now, at MCM London, the final figures have been revealed for the first Spider-Man and X-Men waves of 2019: Six-Armed Spider-Man, Puma… and Jim Lee Beast!

Marvel Legends Paris Comic Con Reveals Loki Grey Gargoyle Genis Vell

Marvel Legends news has been in short supply in the weeks following New York Comic Con 2018, but the drought is over this weekend with two major international events going on–both complete with their own new Marvel Legends 2019 reveals! And from Comic Con Paris today, we got a first look at two classic villains that have been waiting eons to get 6″Hasbro super-articulated figures of their own: the 2019 Marvel Legends Loki (Comic Book Version) and Grey Gargoyle figures!

Previews Exclusive Cyclops ONE 12 Collective Figure and Accessories Classic Mezco

When it comes to Cyclops costumes, I’m a Jim Lee guy all the way. So even though it was inevitable that we’d get a variant of him from Mezco Toyz, they were going to have to really do something special to get another purchase from me. And dangit—I think they’ve done just that! Basically everything I wanted that was missing from the Jim Lee Version is all present and accounted for with the new PX Exclusive ONE:12 Collective Classic Cyclops figure that’s now up for PO!

Dusty Deadpool Hot Toys Figure Running

For years, sixth scale collectors have decried the numerous repaints and palette swaps of Iron Man MMS figures that Hot Toys have frequently released. Well, it looks like HT has heard those complaints, and taken them seriously—by moving on to recoloring a different Marvel character! I’m honestly shocked that it’s taken this long, but what seemed like a surefire “gimme” is finally on the way: the limited Exclusive Hot Toys Dusty Deadpool figure is now up for order! If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a “dusty” figure, this DP is for you!

ONE:12 Collective Homemade Suit Spider-Man Figure SOLD OUT!

Homemade Suit Spider-Man Mezco ONE12 Collective Figure Hanging Upside Down

Being a Mezco ONE:12 Collective Marvel collector ain’t easy. The majority of the regular releases tend to sell out and increase in price before they ever ship, and the various Mezco and convention exclusives tend to skyrocket in price after they pop up with no warning and sell out in an hour. Marvel ONE:12 Collective is a toy line where demand exceeds supply more often than not—and the latest example of this is the exclusive Homemade Suit Spider-Man figure that came and sold out earlier today…

MAFEX Black Panther 6″ Movie Figure Photos & Up for Order!

Posted on by October 24, 2018
MAFEX Black Panther Figure Interchangeable Heads Unmasked T'Challa

Bandai’s SH Figuarts Black Panther came and went earlier this year with a sprinkle of collector enthusiasm, but as solid as it was—it wasn’t quite perfect. No T’Challa Unmasked Head, no weapons for Black Panther to wield, proportions looking a smidge off, and a teeny bit too small for Marvel Legends. But for those out there who don’t want to settle for anything less than perfection, it looks like you may not have to: the 6” MAFEX Black Panther movie figure is now up for order!
