Given that who would ultimately end up with Captain America’s shield in the series was a foregone conclusion in the minds of most fans the moment that “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” was announced, Disney did a pretty admirable job of keeping the conclusion of the show under wraps. But now that everyone has had three days to watch the final episode, it’s time to let the merch flow—and surprisingly, it’s Diamond Select Toys with first blood: the exclusive Marvel Select Falcon Captain America Sam Wilson figure is now up for order!

When pre-orders opened up and then sold out virtually instantaneously for the Target Exclusive Marvel Legends Storm and Thunderbird two-pack, many collectors feared that they were going to have a relative nightmare on their hands. But as fate would have it, this exclusive Marvel Legends Target pack has ended up being plentiful in many stores, leaving collectors with whether or not they want the set, rather than whether or not they can find it.

When Avengers Infinity War hit theaters two years ago, it introduced millions of fans to villains they were likely not very familiar with: the Black Order. The four “Children of Thanos” turned out to be a prominent and powerful force in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the figures of the quarter were spread out over a year and very difficult for many fans to acquire. But Hasbro has come to the rescue of those collectors in need: an Amazon EXCLUSIVE Marvel Legends Children of Thanos box set containing the whole Black Order–and an updated Endgame Thanos!–is now up for order!

But hey–this has been an unexpected year as a whole, and now here we are!

Hot Toys kicked off the month in a monumental way by announcing that for this year’s “2020 Toy Fair Exclusive”/”Summer Convention Exclusive”/”San Diego Comic Con Exclusive” releases, we wouldn’t be seeing just one or two of the offerings being Marvel-themed… all four would be from Marvel movies and video games!
