As the Funko Marvel Collector Corps began 3 years ago with Avengers Age of Ultron, it seems appropriate that the MCC comes to its conclusion in its current form with this month’s Avengers Infinity War Box. The service will apparently be continuing via Amazon, but for now, this is the grand finale. Does the Infinity War Collector Corps Box end things on a high note, or with untapped potential? Read on for my review…

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!

Marvel Legends are far and away the most popular line of Marvel figures coming out today, but they’re also far from the only Marvel toys and collectibles out there. I had a chance to visit with most of the other major Marvel toy companies during New York Toy Fair 2018, and was very impressed by many figures and statues that I saw. Here’s my personal, totally opinion-based Top 10 Non-Legends Marvel Toys revealed at this year’s Toy Fair…

New York Toy Fair 2018 is a scant three weeks away, but before they get to New York City, many toy manufacturers are unveiling new goods at the 2018 London Toy Fair this week! Chief among the most notable presentations in London was Funko, who unveiled a ton of new figures, including several surprise Marvel figures: the Funko Gwenom POP Vinyl and Hela/Valkyrie Rock Candy figures are now up for order!

Now that the flurry of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals have mostly come to an end (though there’s still a sweet 47% off sale for the 14.5” Marvel Legends Hulk going on), it’s time to stop looking at this year’s discounted items and start looking at upcoming 2018 Marvel toys again! And on that front, Funko made a pretty surprising announcement this week, when they announced a whole series of Marvel Contest of Champions POP Vinyls figures—including King Groot, Punisher 2099, Venompool and more!

While the biggest Marvel toy news this week is Hasbro launching their Black Panther Marvel Legends series overnight, Hasbro isn’t the only one launching pre-orders for their line for the movie this week! Funko has big plans for Black Panther movie toys as well, as evident by the fact that Funko Black Panther POP Vinyls, Dorbz and more are now up for order!

Ever since a 6” Hulkbuster Iron Man POP Vinyl was featured as the centerpiece of the inaugural Marvel Collector Corps Box in spring 2015, fans have been begging for Funko to include a 6” Hulk POP Vinyl in a box as well. When Funko announced the newest theme and placed the Marvel Collector Corps Hulk Box up for order earlier this month, it seemed like the best chance yet for that dream to become a reality. And now, the exclusive POP Vinyls have been revealed! Read on if you want to see the spoilers…

Stan Lee’s L.A. Comic Con (formerly known as Comikaze) has never disappointed yet as far as Marvel POP Vinyl exclusives go, with past convention POPs including the awesome Chrome Colossus and even a U.S. Agent figure. This year, Comikaze 2017 will have a full quartet of Funko exclusives, but only one of them will be Marvel-based. Luckily, this year’s Marvel POP is a wholly unexpected treat: a Funko Moon Knight POP Vinyl… dressed as his “Mr. Knight” suit-and-tie-wearing persona!

When you’re the King of Exclusives like Funko is, you don’t settle for having merely store exclusives, subscription box exclusives and convention exclusives–sometimes you need to have Disney Park Exclusives as well! The Disney Parks have had the Yeti, Orange Bird, Haunted Mansion Ghost and more in recent history, but now they’ve got their first Marvel exclusive: the Gold Collector POP Vinyl was released this weekend (and appeared on eBay shortly thereafter)!

It was a bit quiet on the Marvel toy news front this week because of a little event called “Force Friday II” that some of you might have heard of, but Funko had one new Marvel POP up their sleeve for this week–and it’s a set that collectors have been asking for for literally years! Almost unquestionably the most requested Marvel POP Rides ever, the exclusive Funko Ghost Rider on Motorcycle POP Vinyl is now available for order–in both regular and glow-in-the-dark editions!

It’s been a little while since I posted any pure rumors and speculation regarding what the contents of an upcoming Funko Marvel Collector Corps box might be, but in the case of the next box on deck, there’s some pretty exciting possible exclusives lined up to talk about! The Funko Thor Ragnarok Collector Corps box is now up for order–and while I definitely wouldn’t consider them spoilers, here’s what I think are likely to be the Exclusive POP Vinyls in the box…

With Spider-Man Homecoming behind us, there’s no question that Marvel’s primary marketing focus for the rest of 2017 is going to be this fall’s Thor Ragnarok movie. But while Ragnarok may be the focal-point of many of the MCU toys released later this year, it won’t be the center of all of them. The Royal family of the Inhumans are finally hitting theaters and televisions this fall as well, and Funko is celebrating with new POP Vinyls up for order of Medusa, Lockjaw and Maximus!

Since today is a bit of a slow day due to the impending holiday, it’s the perfect time to catch up on things I didn’t have the opportunity to talk about last week. And among those things are exclusives that most of us will never be within 50 feet of, because they’re totally exclusive to the 2017 D23 Expo happening later this month (as well as to crazy ebay scalpers)! Coming exclusively to the Disney Store at D23 2017: Funko Guardians of the Galaxy Dorbz and Red She-Hulk Rock Candy figures!

The King of Exclusives strikes again! When big-name character Emma Frost was revealed as a limited Specialty Series exclusive last year, I was really surprised that she wasn’t a regular release with a diamond form Chase variant. But I should have known better, because far be it from Funko to miss out on any viable variant figure! Limited to just 10,000 pieces produced in honor of Halloween ComicFest 2017, the PX Exclusive Funko Diamond Form Emma Frost POP Vinyl figure is now up for order!

It’s a week, and that means it’s time for another Funko exclusive! Hot on the heels of the Blue Venom POP Vinyl and Unmasked Homemade Suit Spider-Man POP going up for order, it’s time to give a little bit of exclusive variant attention to X-Men fans! There’s nothing especially “new” in this box set, but I think some collectors may dig the Funko Dorbz Stealth Blackbird and Black Costume Storm set anyway…
