The meteoric rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has led to many Marvel characters that were either unknown or only somewhat liked quickly becoming beloved around the world. Such is the case with Daredevil, who was once ridiculed for having one of the worst superhero movies, but has found a new lease on life thanks to Netflix. And to go with his newfound popularity, DD is getting a new 1/4 Statue: the Sideshow Exclusive Daredevil Premium Format Figure is now up for order!

For those who collect Iron Man figures and statues, repaints are a fact of life. And when it comes to classic comic book Iron Man repaints, there’s no armor out there that’s been more prevalent for repaints than the blueberry-flavored Stealth Iron Man. So when Mezco Toyz premiered they’re ONE:12 Collective Iron Man last year, it was a foregone conclusion we’d see a blue repaint. And that inevitability has now occurred: the ONE:12 Collective Exclusive Stealth Iron Man figure is now up for order!

UPDATE 3/23/2018: A lot of Marvel collectors were disappointed when their Toys R Us Exclusive Scarlet Witch and Vision two-pack online orders were cancelled (including me)! Many feared that their hopes of ever getting these movie figures for non-scalper prices were at an end.

It’s been an agonizing (and okay, a little bit annoying) wait, but the shoe has finally dropped today and toy companies can talk about their Avengers Infinity War movie toys at long last! And one company that certainly been waiting to show off their wares is Funko, who has over a dozen and a half new figures to reveal—and that’s just their POPs! The Funko POP Infinity War figures—including Hulkbuster Iron Man 2.0—are now up for order!

While Marvel collectors got treated like royalty with the hundreds of new Marvel toys revealed at New York Toy Fair 2018, the weekend started out on a sour note with some really bad news: the end of the Funko Marvel Collector Corps Box in its current form. It was bittersweet when the final box included in the subscription arrived this week, but on the bright side, I think Funko did a reasonably marvelous (ugh, I can’t believe I said that) job with the Marvel Collector Corps Animal Instincts Box…

A couple weeks back, we got our first packaged look at the latest addition to the series of Walmart Exclusive Marvel Legends: Thanos with Infinity Gauntlet! With the big launch date for the Avengers Infinity War toys coming up on March 3, many surmised we’d be seeing this comics-based Thanos figure in stores on or around that date. And those collectors were right! The Walmart Thanos Legends figure is being found in stores (and is also readily available being scalped on eBay) right now!

I’m making a gargantuan effort this year to cut back on 1/4 statues as much as I possibly can, as prices keep getting higher, boxes keep getting bigger, and my storage space keeps getting smaller (as in, I have like none left). But Sideshow Collectibles is seemingly determined to foil me, as their Marvel pre-orders the past few months have all been pretty spectacular. And their latest piece just may be the best comic Cap ever: the Sideshow Exclusive Captain America Premium Format Figure is now up for order!

One announcement that caught pretty much everyone off-guard during this winter’s 12 Days of Sideshow Collectibles event was the teaser of a new Black Widow Statue. That first image of Black Widow’s head left many fans (including me) praying for an EX. Turns out we’ve been double-blessed! Not only does the regular head look somewhat better than expected, but a gorgeous long-haired head will also be included when the Sideshow Exclusive Black Widow Premium Format Figure is now up for order!

When Hasbro released their first Marvel Legends Thanos Build-A-Figure back in Age of Ultron Wave 2 in 2015, fans noticed that there was a little something missing. Specifically, a certain really big glove. But have no fear, Infinity Gauntlet fans! As promised at SDCC 2017, a single-packed Marvel Legends Thanos with Infinity Gauntlet is on the way as a Walmart exclusive—and the first packaged photos of it have now appeared!

When the Funko POP Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Vinyls lineup was announced, there was one humongous omission that fans were left crying out for. The breakout star of the movie, Yondu (AKA… Mary Poppins). Well, it’s taken close to a year since the announcement of the GOTG Vol. 2 POPs, but POP Yondu with Mohawk is finally on the way… as a convention exclusive! And Yondu’s not the only Marvel exclusive the King of Exclusives has coming our way…

2018 has arrived, and with it has come a plethora of new Marvel toys and collectibles to buy! Well… theoretically, at least. Many collectors’ stores (including mine) simply haven’t started resetting the toy aisles and restocking the shelves just yet. But some fans are luckier than others, and have begun finding all of the Black Panther movie toys on shelves… including the Toys R Us Exclusive Marvel Legends Shuri & Klaw two-pack!

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?

Sideshow Collectibles has been on a Marvel hot streak lately, with their new Wolverine, Silk, Spider-Gwen and Green Phoenix statues all being gorgeousness. But that roll may be coming to an end with this week’s new solicitation, which I get the feeling is going to be a divisive piece (at best). The Sideshow Exclusive Mark Brooks Spider-Man Spider-Verse statue is now up for order, but this is not looking like it’s going to be one of the better-received Spidey statues…
