Diamond Select Toys had a pretty substantial showing of upcoming Marvel statues at New York Toy Fair 2017, but believe it or not, we’ve already seen over a half-dozen more new pieces not shown at Toy Fair revealed and solicited just this month! The latest addition is a completely unexpected one: a 1:2 Scale Deadpool Bust! And half-scale Wade has a solicitation buddy—the Marvel Gallery Wolverine PVC Statue is also up for order!

It’s been a predictably calm and quiet weekend for Marvel toy news, which makes this another ideal time to jump back and look at some more upcoming Marvel toys revealed last month at New York Toy Fair 2018! And once again, I’ll be revisiting the booth that I thought had the best overall showing at the event: Diamond Select Toys. We knew a Marvel Premier Collection Domino Statue was coming prior to the event, but I didn’t expect how good she would look—or that she would be displayed next to a resin Lady Deadpool Statue!

Ordinarily, we get to see several Marvel Select figures debut at a year’s New York Toy Fair. But with the embargo on talking about Avengers Infinity War toys still in effect, we got a singular new Marvel Select reveal at the 2018 Toy Fair. Luckily, it’s one fans have been requesting for years: the X-Men Marvel Select Beast figure is now up for order! And Hank McCoy isn’t alone in the new DST solicitations—a brand new Taco Truck Deadpool Marvel Gallery Statue is also on the way!

It’s been rather quiet lately on the Marvel Legends news front as we approach the 2018 Toy Fair in New York City, but Hasbro decided to kick off this week with some totally out-of-the-blue announcements that confirm the rumors: a Deadpool Legends Wave 2 series is coming our way in Fall 2018, including new 6” Marvel Legends Omega Red and Lady Deadpool figures and more!

Although 2018 kicked off with the surprisingly outstanding Marvel Legends Black Panther series, it’s otherwise been a bit of a slow start for Marvel Legends 2018. We won’t see most of this year’s new figures revealed until New York Toy Fair 2018 next month, and we’re still waiting for the Lizard and Sasquatch series to go up for order domestically. But internationally, the Marvel Legends Deadpool series was just released this week—including a mass-release X-Force Deadpool Hasbro hasn’t officially announced yet!

NECA had one of their biggest grand slams ever when they released their 18” Deadpool figure last winter. So much so, in fact, that after recently releasing an X-Force variant, they’re ready to complete the hat trick just one year after the original DP’s release! But this time out, the big attraction isn’t a different costume: the NECA Ultimate Deadpool 18” Figure is now up for order—and it comes with a veritable cornucopia of crazy accessories!

It’s been all quiet on the Marvel Legends front lately while we wait for the first wave of 2018 to arrive at mass retail (the Marvel Legends Black Panther movie series!), but word broke today about a pair of exclusives coming our way in just a few months. Not only did we get our first look at the packaging for Rainbow Deadpool (Deadpool Corps) box set shown at SDCC 2017, but also the first-ever reveal of a comic-based… pink and black Black Panther figure?

Tokyo Comic Con has traditionally not been a hotspot for Marvel toy news, but with more import Marvel figure lines being made right now than ever before, there were actually some pretty big reveals at this week’s Tokyo Comic Con 2017! Among them were the Bandai Samurai Deadpool figure that I suspected we’d be seeing soon after spotting the concept art at NYCC 2017, as well as something totally out of left field—MAFEX Gwenpool!

Now that the flurry of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals have mostly come to an end (though there’s still a sweet 47% off sale for the 14.5” Marvel Legends Hulk going on), it’s time to stop looking at this year’s discounted items and start looking at upcoming 2018 Marvel toys again! And on that front, Funko made a pretty surprising announcement this week, when they announced a whole series of Marvel Contest of Champions POP Vinyls figures—including King Groot, Punisher 2099, Venompool and more!

Hasbro played some surprise cards at San Diego Comic-Con 2017 when they revealed Marvel Legends figures of two rather obscure Deadpool variants: Symbiote Deadpool and Weapon X (Inverse) Deadpool!
As with all good things, we had to wait a bit, but these obscure Wade Wilson variants are now arriving exclusively at GameStop!

While I posted tons of photos of the newly-revealed Marvel Legends figures from NYCC 2017 (including Gladiator/Multiple Man and Spider-Man Noir/Taskmaster/Prowler) during the con, one thing I didn’t post at the time was photos of the Marvel Legends 2018 figures that were previously announced. But as I close off my NYCC coverage, let’s take a hi-res look at some in-person photos of the 2018 Marvel Legends X-Men, Deadpool, Avengers, Spider-Man and 12” series…

As anticipated, Bandai Tamashii Nations brought along their four previously-solicited Marvel Manga Realization Samurai figures to New York Comic Con 2017 (even the poor Samurai Spider-Man that’s 40% off online). What was not anticipated—at all—however, was that Bandai would be bringing “Approval Pending” designs of five more characters for the Manga Realization line: including Hulk, Wolverine, Deadpool and more!

UPDATE 10/2/2017: If you were wondering when you could order the crazy 6″ Exclusive Marvel Legends Back in Black Deadpool with lightsabers and symbiote costume, wonder no more–the 6″ Back in Black Deadpool Marvel Legends figure is now up for order!

Diamond Select Toys has been spoiling us rotten opening up pre-orders for a multitude of new Marvel statues each month during the summer, but we’re going to have to make do with just a singular new statue in the latest round of solicitations. Luckily, this is one that I think is going to be on a lot of collector’s wish lists, even if it’s not exactly an under-merchandised character: the resin 12″ DST Marvel Premier Collection Deadpool statue is now up for order!
