2017 will go down in history as the year that the Marvel Cinematic Universe TV Series such as Daredevil and Jessica Jones finally started getting the kinds of collector-level merch that fans have been waiting for. But there’s one MCU TV series that pre-dates both of those that’s been mostly ignored by all companies (bar a handful of POP Vinyls): Agents of SHIELD. But for the very first time, Agents of SHIELD is about to feel some high-end love: the Toy Fair Exclusive Hot Toys Ghost Rider figure is now up for order!

Though we’re still well over a month from when they’re due to be released, packaged and loose official images of all three of the Winter 2017 LEGO Marvel sets have now been revealed! And while each of the LEGO Marvel 2017 sets brings something new and exciting to the table, perhaps none does more so than the LEGO Iron Man Detroit Steel Strikes Set… with Agent Coulson minifigure and LOLA!!!

Even so, the series has earned a strong fan base and been renewed for a second season. As such, I was wondering when a toy company would get around to making an Agent Carter toy, and now we have our non-surprising answer: the Funko Agent Carter POP Vinyls figure is now up for order!

Vinyls, as Funko just revealed eight Funko Avengers Age of Ultron POP Vinyls last month. And on my first visit to the Funko booth at NY Toy Fair 2015, the only new item I saw was the Deadpool Chimichanga Truck. But once I flipped through the catalog at my hotel, I realized one more new Marvel POP! was at the show: the Funko Melinda May from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.!
UPDATE: The Funko Agent May POP Vinyls figure is now up for order!

But that’s just what happened last night, when the long-awaited Marvel Legends SHIELD three-pack started showing up on ebay. And thus, I set out this morning on an hours-long quest to find my own Marvel Legends Coulson, Maria Hill and Nick Fury pack…

And at the SDCC 2014 Hasbro Marvel Panel, they took their impressiveness even further. While Avengers Marvel Legends Wave 1 will be entirely comic-based, Marvel Legends 2015 Avengers Wave 2 will be a mix of comic and movie characters, and bring us super-articulated Marvel Legends Maria Hill, Agent Coulson, Nick Fury… and the the first-ever Marvel Legends Thanos Build-A-Figure!
Continue Reading →The vastly under-appreciated Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD is my favorite non-animated TV series in many years, and I am absolutely starved for merch for the show. Despite tying in with the latest Marvel movies and having a high-profile primetime television spot, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. toys are non-existent. So when the Funko Agent Coulson POP Vinyls figure went up for order on Entertainment Earth, I instantly knew he would be mine. Now that the Agents of SHIELD Agent Coulson Funko POP! Vinyl has arrived, I’m both overjoyed and a little disappointed…
Continue Reading →Sad but true: There are not a ton of great Marvel exclusives for New York Comic Con 2013. There’s that awesome Funko Stan Lee POP! Vinyls figure announced a few weeks back, but that’s really it for Marvel toys collectors. LEGO is not attending NYCC 2013, and Diamond Select Toys has confirmed they won’t be bringing any Marvel Minimates NYCC 2013 exclusives. So Marvel collectors will definitely have some extra cash to burn at New York Comic Con next month–and eFX is setting their sights on it with this newly announced Marvel Agents of SHIELD Agent Badge & ID Card customized exclusive…
