Funko August 2018 POP Vinyls Runaways Rocket Raccoon PS4 Spider-Man

Looks like I can cross another thing off the list of characters I never thought I’d live to see toys made of. I thought it was a shocking one-off when we got a Marvel Legends Nico Minoru figure in the Doctor Strange series in 2016, but I figured that was the extent of figures we’d ever see for the team. But as they’re oft to do, Funko apparently thought otherwise: An entire series of Funko Runaways POP Vinyls figures was unexpectedly revealed this week! And oh yeah–video game-based Spider-Man and comic book Rocket Raccoon are on the way as well…

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Gladiator X-Men Apocalypse Series

We’re in the middle of another Marvel toy news drought, which makes this weekend the ideal time to knock out the final entries in my series of 2018 X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series reviews. And at this point, it’s time to talk about the figure that seemed like the inevitable shelf-warmer from the moment it was released. X-Men Legends Gladiator seemed destined to be a slow-selling repaint—is there more to him than meets the eye?

Marvel Legends Multiple Man Review X-Men Apocalypse Series

Review Marvel Legends Madrox Multiple Man Six Inch Figure

While the building of the 1990s X-Men roster has been pretty blatant throughout the first three series of X-Men Legends, what many fans may not have noticed is that, slowly but surely, we’ve been getting one character from Peter David’s X-Factor per wave as well. With Havok and Polaris out of the way, I think Hasbro made the right choice for the Apocalypse Series entry. Full cases of Madrox are on the way for army-building ease: is the Marvel Legends Multiple Man worth army-building?

2018 Marvel Legends X-Men Magneto Action Figure Review

It’s a quiet day on the news front, which makes it the perfect time to dip back into my big bag of unreviewed action figures. So today, I’m continuing onward with a look at another figure in the X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series. The X-Men Marvel Legends Magneto figure was one of the most-anticipated figures when he was first announced, but does he live up to expectations now that he’s been released and is available for ordering? Here’s my ML Magneto review…

Hot Toys Shuri & Black Panther Wakandan Throne Pre-Orders!

Posted on by August 13, 2018
Hot Toys Wakandan Throne with Black Panther Shuri T'Chaka Figures

From Mantis to Nebula to Okoye to Valkyrie, supporting female MCU superheroes tend to get shafted when it comes to Hot Toys sixth scale figures. That’s why it came as a massive surprise when Hot Toys had a 1/6 Black Panther Shuri Movie Masterpiece Series figure front and center at their SDCC 2018 booth. We’ve had plenty of MMS figures shown over the years and never actually created, but Black Panther’s sister won’t suffer that fate: the Hot Toys Shuri figure goes up for order this afternoon (and Hot Toys even has a Wakandan Throne lined up to roll out beside her)!

Iron Studios Infinity War Thanos & Iron Spider 1/4 Statues!

Legacy Replicas Iron Spider and Thanos Quarter Scale Statues

Earlier this weekend I talked about the new wave of Funko Avengers Infinity War POP Vinyls, the latest entries in a line beloved by tens of millions for its low-priced, super-deformed, space-saving Figures. Today, I’m going to talk about the antithesis of Funko POPs—humongous, ultra-realistic, limited-edition, crazy-expensive resin statues! You guessed it: it’s time to talk about the 1:4 Iron Studios Thanos and Iron Spider statues that are now up for order!

REVIEW: X-Men Marvel Legends Sabertooth Figure! Apocalypse Series

2018 Marvel Legends Sabertooth Hasbro 6" Figure Choking Wolverine

While we’ve gotten a plethora of 6” Marvel Legends Wolverine Figures over the years, fans who’ve started collecting Marvel Legends figures over the last decade may be surprised that there hasn’t been an iconic version of Sabertooth released in all that time. In fact, it’s been 15 years since the Jim Lee Sabertooth had a new action figure released! But those waiting for an upgrade to the old Toybiz Sabertooth need not wait any longer—the X-Men Marvel Legends Sabertooth figure is now available!

Funko POP Vinyls Avengers Infinity War Wave 2 Figures

All of the 2018 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies may have come and gone, but don’t worry—with over half a year to go until the Captain Marvel movie, the merchandise for Black Panther, Avengers Infinity War and even Ant-Man and the Wasp will keep rolling out for many months to come.

Kotobukiya ARTFX+ Gambit and Rogue Statues

Despite the fact that the Kotobukiya only announced their ARTFX+ X-Men 92 Figures line earlier this year, they’ve made it no secret that they’re going all-in with this series of 1:10 PVC statues right off the bat. And so, even though there’s still loads of villains and ancillary characters to make, all of the core members of the X-Men Animated team have now been accounted for: the Kotobukiya Gambit & Rogue ARTFX+ two-pack is now up for order!

Kaiyodo Psylocke Revoltech Action Figure

Later on this month, I’ll be posting my review of the first new Hasbro Marvel Legends Psylocke figure in years from the recently-released X-Men Legends Apocalypse Series. But while Hasbro’s latest Betsy is just starting to reach most collectors’ hands, she’s already got some serious competition on the horizon for best 6” Psylocke figure ever: the Amazing Yamaguchi Kaiyodo Revoltech Psylocke is now up for order!

Marvel Legends 2019 Nighthawk! Living Laser! Kree Sentry BAF!

2019 Marvel Legends Figures Kree Sentry Living Laser Night Hawk

I had a little bit of an ulterior motive for talking about the 2019 Marvel Legends Hercules & Genis Captain Marvel Figures this morning. And that motive was: I didn’t want to be too far behind when Hasbro revealed more new Marvel Legends 2019 Figures tonight! Because for the first time ever, Hasbro unveiled upcoming Marvel Legends figures at the Unboxing Toy Convention in Mexico: 6” Living Laser, Nighthawk and the Kree Sentry Build-A-Figure!

2019 Marvel Legends Captain Marvel Genis & Hercules Figures!

Marvel Legends 2019 Hercules and Genis Captain Marvel Figures

Before closing the book on SDCC 2018 Marvel Legends coverage, there’s two more new figures that I need to talk about that didn’t logically fit with any of the other waves that have been discussed. Neither is a character that hasn’t been covered before by ML in some form, but I think fans will be in agreement that these are better renditions of these characters. Coming our way in the Avengers & Captain Marvel Marvel Legends waves next year: Hercules & Genis-Vell!

Marvel Legends Storm Review (X-Men Apocalypse Series 2018)

Demand is high and supply at retail still isn’t plentiful, but the X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series is slowly but surely starting to permeate retail stores. I reviewed the Apocalypse Build-A-Figure last month before I got sidetracked with SDCC 2018, but now it’s back to business and time to play catch-up. And what better place to start than with one of the X-Men’s two most legendary leaders: the Mistress of the Elements herself—X-Men Marvel Legends Storm!

Marvel Play Arts Kai X-23 Wolverine Figure Up for Order!

Posted on by August 2, 2018
X-23 Play Arts Kai Action Figure

Play Arts Kai Marvel has had a good ride, with the series lasting longer and going deeper character-wise than anybody expected. But this time, I think the end may really be nigh. Not just for Marvel Play Arts Kai—but largely for PAK as a whole! For the first time since the heyday of Play Arts Kai, Square-Enix didn’t reveal a single new PAK from any line at SDCC 2018. But if Marvel PAK is really coming to an end, at least it can go out with a bang: Play Arts Kai X-23 is now up for order!
