Funko is the uncrowned king of toy exclusives in the modern day collecting world, so it should surprise no one that yet another unannounced Funko Marvel POP! Vinyls figure has now appeared. What may surprise some folks, however, is where, as the latest Marvel Funko POP! Vinyl has turned up only in Japan!
But if you want this exclusive Funko Metallic Amazing Spider-Man 2 POP! Vinyl figure, you may have to not only travel to Japan, but travel back in time as well…

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year, but we’re a scant two months away from San Diego Comic Con 2014, and the march toward the biggest Comic-Con of the year is beginning now in full force! And if there’s one company that knows how to fully exploit collectors at SDCC each year, it’s Funko. This year, Funko will be bringing a soul-crushing 86 exclusives to SDCC 2014, and based on the list of hints Funko has given us, we know at least thirteen of those will be Funko Marvel SDCC 2014 exclusives…

After the agonizingly long wait for Captain America: The Winter Soldier to hit theaters, time has really blown by, and the Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie release is now upon us! I’ve got my reservations about this movie, but I’m willing to turn my super-critical brain off and do my best to enjoy it this weekend. But while I prepare for that, it’s finally time for me to review some Amazing Spider-Man 2 toys I’ve been holding onto for a while. First up, it’s the Amazing Spider-Man 2 Funko POP! Vinyls figures of Spider-Man and Electro!

The vastly under-appreciated Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD is my favorite non-animated TV series in many years, and I am absolutely starved for merch for the show. Despite tying in with the latest Marvel movies and having a high-profile primetime television spot, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. toys are non-existent. So when the Funko Agent Coulson POP Vinyls figure went up for order on Entertainment Earth, I instantly knew he would be mine. Now that the Agents of SHIELD Agent Coulson Funko POP! Vinyl has arrived, I’m both overjoyed and a little disappointed…

It’s been over three weeks since the last unannounced Funko Marvel POP! Vinyls exclusive turned up in stores. There was a real possibility that we might end up going a full month without a new Marvel POP! Vinyl variant turning up (oh, the humanity), but that peril has been avoided! Out of the blue (no pun intended), a Hot Topic Exclusive Funko Metallic Electro POP! Vinyls figure from Amazing Spider-Man 2 has shockingly appeared! (Okay, that last pun was intentional…)

Ordinarily I don’t like ordering Marvel Funko POP Vinyls online, as I’m pretty OCD about paint applications. But, well, I was having trouble finding the Captain America The Winter Soldier POP Vinyls in my area, Amazon had the Funko Black Widow POP Vinyl for $9 shipped, and now she’s sitting on my desk.
Is this Black Widow Funko POP Vinyl a little $9 masterpiece? Read on…

The Marvel Mystery Minis Series 1 figures and packaging looked complete and ready to go at the 2014 Toy Fair last month, and now the Marvel Mystery Minis are upon us!
And surprise–there’s not one, not two, not three, but four Hot Topic exclusive Marvel Mystery Minis vinyl figures! And if you’re a completist, be afraid: one of them is one per 144 blind boxes…

Another day, another Funko variant. Last week I talked about the unannounced release of the Barnes and Noble exclusive Funko Black & White Captain America POP! Vinyls figure. Cap is an old-timey kind of guy and Funko loves their black and white variants, so that release was pretty commonplace. This latest release is going to be one that’s a lot more unexpected, however–the exclusive Funko Glow-in-the-Dark Captain America POP Vinyls figure! (Yes, that’s right–I said “Glow-in-the-Dark Captain America. Seriously.)

Of the hundreds of new products that I saw at the 2014 Toy Fair International, the most enigmatic one turned out to be one of the smallest. Within a couple seconds of walking into the Funko booth, I saw a couple orange Deadpool Mystery Minis variants on display. I asked two of the workers at the booth about this mysterious Funko orange Deadpool, but neither knew the details on it. I should have kept asking, though, because on this week’s Marvelicious Toys Podcast Issue 111, they spill the goods on exactly where this orange Deadpool may be exclusive to…

I’m approaching the end of the photos I took in my one-day speed-run of Toy Fair 2014, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t take some time to discuss a couple items most collectors (besides me) aren’t going to care about too much: the Funko Guardians of the Galaxy and Amazing Spider-Man 2 Wacky Wobblers! Wacky Wobblers are infinitesimally less popular than their POP! Vinyls brethren, but I think the Funko Rocket Raccoon and Star Lord Wacky Wobblers are some of the best offerings Funko has ever come up with for the line…

Many companies brought half-finished packaging for their upcoming products to New York Toy Fair 2014, and some brought no packaging at all. But one company that brought the fully-designed, real deal to the show was Funko (along with about a million new figures)! Particularly nice is their Guardians of the Galaxy packaging, which looks quite different from the usual Funko Marvel packaging. And if you turned around the boxes on display, you got a special treat–the first look at an unannounced Unmasked Star Lord POP Vinyls figure!

Look out Marvel POP Vinyls collectors–Funko is at it again! Determined to rule the world and clean out our wallets, Funko has been releasing a seemingly endless number of Marvel Funko POP Vinyls over the past year, and now an all-new, unannounced exclusive has shown up. The Marvel Funko POP Vinyls Captain America The Winter Soldier Black & White Captain America has now shown up in stores–and if you want him, you’re going to have to head to Barnes and Noble book stores!

Photos of the Marvel Funko Guardians of the Galaxy POP! Vinyls Star Lord, Groot and Drax the Destroyer figure prototypes leaked onto the web a while ago, so we had some idea of what to expect when Funko did the grand New York Toy Fair 2014 Funko Guardians of the Galaxy POP Vinyls reveal. To keep things interesting, though, Funko had a couple surprises lined up beyond painted versions of the figures we’d already seen: brand-new, never-before-seen Funko Rocket Raccoon and Gamora POP! Vinyls figures!

Everywhere I see a news article on Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD TV series posted online, I immediately see a whole armada of people spewing hatred about the show and how much they hate it. So yeah–I’m well aware that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is not everybody’s cup of tea. But like most things everyone else seems to hate, I think Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD is pretty much the greatest. So when Funko opened pre-orders today for the upcoming Funko Agent Coulson POP Vinyls figure, I dropped everything else I was doing to pre-order and talk about him…

Though the first photos of Funko Marvel Mystery Minis Series 1 leaked out a little bit earlier this month, we’ve had to wait a bit for Funko to confirm the assortment and send out hi-res images of the set. Well, not only has Funko done that today–they’ve also shown off the packaging for the Marvel Funko Mystery Minis, shared the rarity scale for the figures and put Marvel Mystery Minis Series 1 up for order! And if you want a complete set of Marvel Mystery Minis, be prepared to spend a lot of money buying blind boxes and hunting for the rarest figures…
