Medicom Venom MAFEX Figure Swinging on Web

Venom is one of the most popular villains in all of comic books to begin with, and with the Venom movie set to hit theaters next week, he’s become even more relevant and marketable than ever before. While we’re not getting quite as much merch for the character as you might expect (especially considering the zero movie-based toys announced), we are getting loads of comic-based collectibles goodness. And the newest addition is the first-ever from Medicom: the import MAFEX Venom figure is now up for order!

Captain Marvel Legends Movie Figures Revealed

One of the things that I hear from collectors pretty much every single week is, “I wish Amazon would do pre-orders for upcoming Marvel Legends figures again!” Back in the good old days (okay, like a year or two ago), Amazon was the first place to offer figures like the X-Men Legends Juggernaut Series before any other retailer. Well, it looks like the olden days are back, because the first four Captain Marvel Marvel Legends 2019 figures are now up for order online, including movie Captain Marvel, Young Nick Fury, a Skrull and more!

Netflix fans got a big surprise back in June, when a totally unannounced Marvel Legends Netflix Luke Cage and Claire Temple two-pack unexpectedly appeared at retail internationally.

Kotobukiya Sam Wilson Captain America ARTFX+ Statue

Sam Wilson’s short tenure as Captain America may have come to an end last year, but the merch for Falcon Captain America is likely to continue coming in small bursts for years to come. And so, even though Sam Wilson has gone back to his better-known identity of The Falcon, Kotobukiya is producing Sam for their first-ever time–in his Cap persona: the Kotobukiya Sam Wilson Captain America ARTFX+ statue is now up for order!

Marvel Premier Collection Deadpool Statue Review

Today I’m going to interrupt the seemingly never-ending stream of 2018 Marvel Legends figures that I still have to write reviews for to talk about a statue I’ve been looking forward to writing a review for for almost a year! I analyzed the outstanding Cable companion piece last month, and now it’s Deadpool’s turn! Is the 11” Marvel Premier Collection Deadpool statue worth 135 bucks shipped, or is Cable better off all by his lonesome?

SH Figuarts Iron Man Mark 50 Nano Weapons Set

Avengers Infinity War was a wildly successful movie, so it’s no surprise that figures and merch of the most popular characters from the movie quickly sold out. And one of the fastest sell-outs was the Bandai SH Figuarts Infinity War Iron Man 6” figure. But this story has a happy ending for those who missed out—and those who didn’t may even be a little jealous—because a new S.H. Figuarts Iron Man Mark L Figure with Nano Weapons Set is now up for order in the US!

Venom Marvel Legends Venom Series Figure Review (2018)

Marvel Legends Venom Series Venom Figure Review

Having talked about some of the coolest Symbiote figures Hasbro has ever done over the last two weeks, it’s only fair that today I turn my attention to the one figure in the Marvel Legends Venom Series that’s a big letdown for me: sadly, Venom himself. We last got a single-carded Venom figure back in 2016 as part of the Spider-Man Absorbing Man Series. Does this newly-released ML Venom figure bring anything valuable to the table for those who have the previous version…?

Close-Up of Monster Venom Marvel Legends Figure Head

I’m at the halfway point in my series of Venom Legends reviews, so I think it’s time I spotlighted the character more people requested a review of than any other in the wave: the Marvel Legends Monster Venom Build-A-Figure! The Monster Venom BAF is burning up the aftermarket and selling for about 75 bucks alone right now–is Hasbro’s bulkiest symbiote action figure ever worth the big money that collectors are paying for it?
