You can never have too many stylized vinyl figures–at least, that’s what Funko seems to think, as they’ve announced yet another new line of vinyls today: Pint-Sized Heroes! And as it’s perhaps the hottest brand on the planet right now, Marvel will be getting one of the inaugural series for the new line: the blind-bagged Funko Pint-Sized Heroes Spider-Man figures will be arriving this October… complete with store exclusives!

Today is the big day that Hasbro will be selling the remainder of their SDCC 2016 exclusives stock online, so what better day to look at another heavy-hitter from the SDCC Marvel Legends The Raft set than today, right? I expected him to be one of the most sought-after figures from the set on the aftermarket, but the Marvel Legends Abomination is actually one of the least expensive figures from the set! Is the lack of interest in this Abomination figure justified…?

After a lengthy wait and excruciating build-up, the very first Mezco Marvel ONE:12 Collective figure was finally available at SDCC 2016 last month: Deluxe Classic Captain America! And now the floodgates can truly open, with a mass of both new characters and variants on the way from Mezco Toyz–including the Previews exclusive ONE:12 Collective Deluxe Punisher and First Appearance Daredevil versions that are now up for pre-order!

While Hasbro has spoiled Marvel Legends collectors with new figures released every month this year, LEGO collectors have it rougher, with only two full waves of LEGO Marvel sets being released per year. The Winter sets were focused on Captain America Civil War, but the LEGO Marvel Summer 2016 sets came available for sale online and in stores this month and include a variety of Spider-Man sets, as well as exclusive Civil War and Doctor Strange movie sets!

Marvel Legends San Diego Comic-Con exclusive sets are famous for bringing us some off-the-wall characters that we’d likely never see at mass retail, and I think that’s epitomized by the subject of today’s review: Marvel Legends Dreadknight! While Dreadknight is actually selling for surprisingly cheap on the aftermarket, he surpasses the Enchantress as my favorite figure in the con exclusive set this year…

Remember when Hasbro released the Marvel Legends Civil War Spider-Man figure in a 3-Pack with Iron Man and Captain America repaints and everyone called foul? Well, collectors who disliked that pack are going to hate this new Disney Store exclusive Marvel Legends Civil War Four-Pack that has appeared online, which contains four repackaged figures and one new accessory…

The Doctor Strange movie is launching in November 2016, which places it further out in the year than any MCU film ever. As a result, it seems like we’ve been waiting eternity for the Sorcerer Supreme to arrive… but now the wait is down to three months!
And while Hasbro is shying away from releasing many Doctor Strange movie toys, Funko is not–a multitude of Funko Doctor Strange POP Vinyls and Dorbz figures are now up for order!

San Diego Comic-Con 2016 may have come and gone, but there’s still a chance for collectors to obtain the Hasbro SDCC 2016 exclusives next week on Hasbro Toy Shop! And with that in mind, there’s no better time to review the Marvel Legends The Raft set figures than now–beginning with the hottest one! Fans have demanded a Marvel Legends Enchantress for years, and she’s selling for more than half the cost of the whole set on the aftermarket–but is Enchantress worth the hype?

When Funko announced the Marvel Collector Corps Year One box, I immediately speculated that the extra $100 the box cost was to cover a gold Captain America Hikari in honor of the first year Founders Gift and Cap’s 75th Anniversary. One month later and near the deadline to order the Collector Corps Spider-Man box, the Year One box has arrived! Was I right, and do I feel like this box was $125 well-spent…? Read on…

Ordinarily there’s a bit of a Marvel toy news lull after San Diego Comic-Con, but that doesn’t seem to be the case this year! Not only has Hot Toys blitzed us with some outstanding new sixth scale figures this week, but now Disney is launching their own line of near-sixth scale Marvel Ultimate Series Premium Figures! Their 10″ Black Widow figure isn’t too bad, but that Marvel “Ultimate Series” Captain America action figure… oh dear…

Most companies might be content to just out one several hundred-dollar Iron Man sixth scale figure up for sale the same week as their first three Suicide Squad 1/6 figures and pair of Back to the Future II figures.
But Hot Toys is not “most” companies, and they don’t do things in half measures. And this isn’t just any old Iron Man, it’s one of the most-requested remaining upgrades: the Hot Toys Die-Cast Iron Man Mark VI figure is now up for order!

Just when I thought that Hot Toys had already hustled movie Iron Man fanboys (like myself) for every possible dollar, they go and come up with something totally out of left field like this! Though we’ve seen this exact Hot Toys Iron Man Mark VII armor released as a sixth scale figure no less than four times before, the unique look of the fifth time is going to be another guaranteed purchase from a lot of collectors. The Sideshow Exclusive Hot Toys Iron Man Sub-Zero Mark VII figure is now up for order!

Well here’s an unexpected blast from the past! After basically going silent about their Spider-Man sixth scale figures after debuting them over a year ago at San Diego Comic-Con 2015, today 3A Toys has finally released official photos and order info for their next Marvel release. The 3A Spider-Man figure sets go up for order next week–and man, this is definitely a take on Spidey like we’ve never seen before…!

Due to Disney’s late decision to try to keep merchandisers from revealing the presence of Giant-Man in Civil War, not only were few people surprised when he appeared in the movie, but he didn’t get nearly as much fanfare or as many toys as he should have. But for those who don’t want to shell out $120 for the Marvel Legends Giant-Man Build-A-Figure, a consolation prize has now appeared: an exclusive box set with a 12″ Titan Hero Giant-Man!

I always root for toy manufacturers to be able to keep their con exclusives under wraps until they’re ready to unveil them, but sometimes that’s just not to be. Such was the case with this year’s Hasbro Marvel Legends SDCC sets. But even though we’ve known the contents for several weeks, it’s still exciting that Hasbro has finally released hi-res photos officially confirming the Marvel Legends The Raft and The Collector’s Vault sets!
