Kotobukiya Ant-Man Statue ARTFX+ Close-Up

While it didn’t exactly shatter all-time box office records in the manner that other recent Marvel Studios movies have, “Ant Man and the Wasp” had a pretty solid opening week (at least, as far as the potential of the titular characters goes). And so, while Scott Lang may never be an ‘A’-List character like Iron Man, this is still the ideal time for marketing his merch—and Kotobukiya is ready to do just that! The Marvel ARTFX+ Ant-Man is now up for order—and hey, you even get mini Ant-Man and Wasp figures with it! Is it worth modern Koto prices…?

It’s taken almost a full year since the wave started to be unveiled at San Diego Comic Con 2017, but the long-anticipated 2018 Marvel Legends X-Men Apocalypse Series is finally starting to ship out to online retailers and some brick and mortar stores. I wanted to kick off my figure reviews for this wave with something big—and what’s bigger than the Build-A-Figure, right? The Marvel Legends Apocalypse BAF is selling for north of 100 bucks right now all by himself—is he fit to survive for that kind of money?

2018 SDCC Red Skull Marvel Legends Figures with Tesseract

Alongside the annual SDCC Exclusive Marvel Legends 6″ figures box set, Hasbro usually has one more exclusive goodie for Marvel collectors.

But this year, it’s something we haven’t gotten before as a Comic-Con Exclusive. The first-ever SDCC Exclusive Marvel Legends life-size replica: the electronic Tesseract–plus a 6″ Red Skull from Captain America: The First Avenger!

2018 Toy Fair Exclusive Hot Toys Concept Captain America Figure

When rumors started circulating that one of this year’s Hot Toys 2018 Toy Fair Exclusives was going to be a Black and White Captain America, a lot of folks (including me!) thought it sounded like hogwash. But looks like we underestimated Hot Toys’ resourcefulness when it comes to variants, because they actually came up with a B&W Cap that makes sense and is pretty desirable: the limited EXCLUSIVE Hot Toys Concept Art Captain America is now up for order!

Marvel Legends Ant-Man and Yellowjacket Two Pack 10 Years of Marvel Studios

Hasbro has done an increasingly good job over the past few years in producing more of the important characters from the various Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, but there are quite a few characters that fell through the cracks. Luckily, Hasbro is giving many collectors what they want and filling in the gaps!

Iron Studios Infinity War Statues Battle of Wakanda

Continuing to recap the cornucopia of new Avengers Infinity War toys and statues that have gone up for order this month, today I’m looking at one of the newer companies on my radar.

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Cull Obsidian Build-A-Figure

Close-Up of BAF Cull Obsidian Black Order Marvel Legends Action Figure

While Avengers Infinity War will go down as one of the most legendary superhero team-up movies in history, it didn’t just feature many beloved existing characters interacting—it also introduced some significant new villains to non-comic book readers in the form of Thanos’ Black Order. Proxima Midnight was the sole representative in the first wave of Infinity War Marvel Legends, but she’s got some large help now. The Marvel Legends Cull Obsidian Build-A-Figure is on the scene and selling for $60+ on the aftermarket: is it worth building this big boy?

Marvel Legends Black Knight Figure Review (Cull Obsidian Series)

Black Knight Marvel Legends Avengers Infinity War Figure Review

Marvel Legends Infinity War Wave 2 is a pretty weird series, as the set is split three ways between characters from the comics and the Ant-Man and the Wasp and Avengers Infinity War movies.

And among the harder figures to come by is the one new comic book-based figures in the wave: Marvel Legends Black Knight…
