Mezco ONE:12 Collective Cyclops X-Men 6″ Figure Up for Order!

Posted on by August 20, 2018
Mezco Toyz ONE 12 Collectible Cyclops Six inch Figure

The old Toybiz X-Men Series 1 Cyclops figure was one of the very first X-Men toys I ever bought in my life, so I’ve loved Cyclops figures with light-up visors ever since I was a kid. Hasbro has made some very nice Marvel Legends Cyclops figures over the last few years, but none of them have featured that cool, no-brainer action feature. But Mezco Toyz just may have cooked up the ultimate Jim Lee Cyke: the ONE:12 Collective Cyclops figure is now up for order! And not only does he light up—he’s got the effects pieces I’ve waited all my life for…

Funko POP Pez Marvel Wave 1! Stan Lee Yondu & Hulk Up for Order!

Funko Pez Stan Lee

Just when you think Funko has done everything they can possibly do with POP Vinyls, they go and break the mold with something totally unexpected. And last winter, they did just that by announcing a match made in heaven: the marriage of super-deformed POP Vinyls heads and… Pez dispensers?! That’s right–believe it or not, as revealed this summer, Funko POP Pez Marvel Wave 1 is coming our way: POP Pez Stan Lee, Yondu and Gladiator Hulk are now up for order!

Cable Marvel Premier Collection Statue Review Photos

It seems like hardly a week goes by when there’s not some new high-end Marvel Statue to talk about that costs a half a grand (or more!). But fear not, collectors who love statues but don’t love spending exorbitant amounts of cash on them: Diamond Select Toys has you covered with their reasonably-priced resin and PVC statue lines. And their latest release just might be their best one to-date: the 16” Marvel Premier Collection Cable Statue is finally beginning to ship out!

Funko POP Runaways PS4 Spider-Man & Comic Rocket Raccoon Vinyls!

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

Side View of Marvel Legends Gladiator Head and Mohawk

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)!

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!

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!

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!

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!
