REVIEW: Marvel Animated DRAX Statue (Diamond Select Toys)

Marvel Animated Statues Complete Guardians of the Galaxy Statue Set

Being a total fanboy for the Skottie Young Marvel Animated statues series by Diamond Select Toys isn’t exactly one of my best-kept secrets, so I was delighted this winter to finish off a team in the line for the very first time. While the Fantastic Four is coming in fast, the FF were beaten to the team-completion punch by one of the zaniest teams in the Marvel Universe, the Guardians of the Galaxy. The Marvel Animated Drax statue is shipping now and completes the movie roster. Here’s my review…

LEGO Marvel 2024 Sets Released & Photos! X-Men Jet! Rocket Raccoon & Groot!

LEGO Marvel 2024 Sets Released Sandman Battle X-Men Jet Rocket Raccoon Groot

LEGO Marvel sets have certainly fallen a tad in popularity and sales at mass retail over the last few years, with fewer major widely-distributed sets arriving in the biannual drops and more expensive sets (like last year’s $500 Avengers Tower) being released solely as more limited exclusives. But that doesn’t mean The LEGO Group (TLG) is throwing in the towel! In fact, the January 2024 LEGO Marvel sets that have just been released include 3 major sets including a brick-built Rocket Raccoon, X-Men Blackbird Jet and Spider-Man No Way Home Sandman Final Battle!

Marvel Legends Mantis Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Figure REVIEW

Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Mantis Hasbro Figure vs Adam Warlock

Mantis was a controversial choice to be the Build-A-Figure way back in the Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 series six years ago, but in the 2023 Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Cosmo wave, Mantis finally gets the single-packed shelf presence at retail that she deserves. Is the new GOTG Legends Mantis figure worth adding to your team roster…?

KRAGLIN Marvel Legends REVIEW (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Figures Cosmo Series)

Kraglin is the sort of character that—played by James Gunn’s brother or not—I’d have insisted anyone who said we’d ever see on retail store shelves was lying. But 9 years later, here we are—and here Marvel Legends Kraglin is on the pegs at Target. Kraglin is also available shipping from online retailers now—is this fourth most famous Ravager worth ordering for yourself?

REVIEW: Target Exclusive Marvel Legends YONDU Classic Figure (Guardians of the Galaxy)

GOTG Marvel Legends Classic Yondu Comic Figure

Hasbro is taking the slow approach to building the classic Guardians of the Galaxy team in Marvel Legends 6” figure form.

Marvel Legends 2023: Franklin/Valeria Richards! Yondu! PS5 Spider-Man! Squadron Supreme!

2023 Marvel Legends Revealed Fntastic Four PS5 Spider-Man Yondu Squadron Supreme

Hasbro didn’t hit us with a complete blitzkrieg of new Marvel Legends 2023 waves during this first month of the year, limiting themselves to just a singular new Build-A-Figure Series solicited (the X-Men Legends Ch’od BAF Series). But that doesn’t mean Hasbro wasn’t busy, as they instead announced a bunch of one-off releases (and put a few up for order), including Franklin & Valeria Richards, a new Advanced Suit PS5 Spider-Man, classic comics Yondu and more!

Funko Marvel Collector Corps I Am Groot Box Unboxing Spoilers & Review

Funko I Am Groot Box Unboxing Spoilers Review

Funko Marvel Collector Corps boxes have managed to live on for far longer than I ever, ever expected—so much so that I was only vaguely aware Amazon was still distributing them at all. But I’m a sucker for Baby Groot, which is why I must have ordered two (and forgot about them until they showed up on my doorstep) of the Funko Marvel I Am Groot Collector Corps box. Was this MCC box worth returning for? Here’s my unboxing and review…

Thor Love and Thunder Marvel Legends Groot Figure REVIEW & Photos

Review Teen Groot Marvel Legends 6" Thor Love and Thunder Figure

All-new figures will always be preferred by collectors to repacked ones (especially at today’s retail prices), but sometimes a refresh of an old figure hits the right notes such that fans don’t complain. Such is the case with the newly-released Thor Love and Thunder Marvel Legends Groot figure, which combines a lot of newness with a much-requested re-release of the 2018 Teen Groot…

Marvel Legends Korg BAF Parts Breakdown

It’s been a while since an entire major series of movie Marvel Legends figures managed to completely slip out and become public knowledge before Hasbro could even announce a singular figure from the lineup, but that’s exactly what happened this month with the latest MCU wave.
