While last week was all about Hulk, this week the spotlight has predictably turned to the hero whose next superhero movie is under a week away: the Amazing Spider-Man! Following up hot new solicits from other companies, Sideshow Collectibles is finally ready to launch the Spidey they premiered at NYCC 2018 last October: the Sideshow Exclusive Spider-Man Premium Format Figure is now up for order! Do the eyes have it—is this another “EX or bust” piece?

When Hasbro announced a singular Retro Marvel Legends Vintage Hulk figure as a San Diego Comic Con 2019 exclusive last week, pretty much every long-time Marvel Legends collector predicted we’d be seeing another offering before too long.

For whatever reason, the Bandai Tamashii SH Figuarts Infinity War figures weren’t as big of a hit as expected domestically, with many of the figures still available a year after orders opened and some even after being discounted. Presumably because of this, we’ve seen a far narrower selection of the Endgame figures getting released in North America, and even seeming sure-things are remaining overseas exclusives. Even the Jade Giant isn’t immune to exclusivity, as he’s not getting a domestic release. But if you’ve got to have him, the SH Figuarts Endgame Hulk figure is up for order in the US on BBTS now…

While they happen several times a year these days and we’ve all become acclimated to them, there was a time when Walgreens Exclusives were a new and revolutionary thing. The first one ever was the Marvel Legends Agent Venom that was confirmed almost half a decade ago now exactly, and as part of the 80th Anniversary Series, that legendary figure is getting a sequel: the Exclusive Marvel Legends Anti-Venom figure in white costume is now up for order!

There are certain things that you just never dare to dream about in collecting. And for me, the very notion that Hot Toys might ever make a high-end sixth scale figure of the original Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider costume—complete with blue hoodie!!—is one of those things. But thanks to the magic of the PS4 Spider-Man GamerVerse license and the Video Game Masterpieces series, the impossible has become possible: the Toy Fair EXCLUSIVE Hot Toys Scarlet Spider figure is now up for order!

Reports have been coming in from all over the country for the last few weeks of collectors finding and sometimes being denied the newest Target Exclusive Marvel Legends Spider-Man two-packs locally, but that’s changed over the course of the past week, as Target is now officially stocking and allowing sales of its latest Exclusives: the Kraven’s Last Hunt Two-Pack with Kraven & Symbiote Spidey and the Homecoming Two-Pack with MJ & Academic Decathalon Spidey!

UPDATE 6/5/2019: It’s been close to two months since they started appearing in stores, so I was beginning to doubt we’d ever see this Walgreens Exclusive “Iron Doom” pop up online at all. But for those still looking for it, rejoice: the Walgreens Exclusive Marvel Legends Infamous Iron Man Doctor Doom figure is now up for order online! For those who already have their own: is this figure worth scooping up?

Given the mania and wild aftermarket prices surrounding the sold-out Hot Toys Spider-Man Homecoming sixth scale figures in the aftermath of Avengers Endgame, Hot Toys would have seemed crazy business-wise to not double-dip in the red-and-blue Spidey MMS well. And to little surprise, that’s just what they’re doing: a reissue of the Hot Toys Spider-Man movie figure as a Far From Home Movie Promo is now up for order! It’s a limited exclusive, so if you missed out the first time around, be ready to strike!

This month’s Diamond Select Toys solicitations were a little bit light for Marvel Gallery fans, with just one all-new item offered: McFarlane-style 90s Spider-Man PVC figure. But don’t worry, DST collectors—you won’t have to starve for new offerings, as there are not one, not two, but five new exclusives coming your way this summer: the GameStop Exclusive Mysterio, Emma Frost, Spider-Man Noir and more are now up for order online!

If there’s one thing that Marvel Legends collectors could have confidently bet their life on coming out of Avengers Endgame, it’s that Hasbro would cash in on the sure-thing best-seller that is a “Worthy” Captain America figure. And now that all spoiler embargos have been listed, the announcement has transpired—but in an unexpected way: the Walmart Exclusive Marvel Legends Endgame Captain America with Mjolnir figure has now been revealed!

The new Marvel Legends 80 Years figure reveals and pre-orders over the past two weeks—Cowboy Wolverine and Big Time Spider-Man—have gotten a bit of a varied reaction from fans. But tonight, Hasbro has freshly solicited another item in the series—and I suspect this one will NOT be getting such a tepid response: the Marvel Legends Hulk vs. First Appearance Wolverine Two-Pack is now up for order!

Hasbro has had far more hits than misses since the Return of Marvel Legends began in 2012, but occasionally there’s been a hiccup along the way. One of those snafus came in the Arnim Zola series, when the black Stealth Suit Spider-Man figure arrived and was, well… green. Fans have always been discontent about that release, and after 7 years, a “make-good” is on the way: an exclusive Marvel Legends Big Time Spider-Man figure is now up for order!

Just when it looked like the most exciting thing to happen to me Marvel collecting-wise this week was going to be finding the new Mysterio Berry Dr. Pepper, a photo leaked online Friday afternoon of a previously unannounced Marvel Legends 80 Years figure of what appeared to be a brand new Wolverine variant. We didn’t have long to wait until an official announcement of exactly what that figure was: the Exclusive Marvel Legends Cowboy Logan Wolverine figure is now up for order! I’m not sure anyone was crying out for a new ML Logan–but now that he’s here, he does look pretty sweet…
