SDCC 2015 Marvel Legends Doctor Strange Set Revealed!

SDCC 2015 Exclusive Marvel Legends Doctor Strange Box Set

Way, way back last summer, Hasbro started showing off concepts for Marvel Legends Dormammu and Magik figures. Fans guessed that some sort of future “magic-themed” box set was in the works… and as it turns out, those fans were correct!

The SDCC 2015 exclusive Marvel Legends Doctor Strange set has now been revealed, and it includes the first Brother Voodoo and Hela figures ever!

Hasbro Ant-Man Flying Ant Figure Box Set

Up until this week, it had been a month or so since there were new Hasbro Marvel figures released. But recess is over, and Hasbro has declared open season on collectors’ wallets once again! While 20+ Marvel Legends figures went up for sale this week, Hasbro didn’t want to leave their 4″ collectors out in the dust entirely: the Ant-Man & Flying Ant Marvel Infinite Series set is now up for order!

Spider-Man Marvel Legends Rhino Series Case Ratios & Pre-Order!

Marvel Legends 2015 Spider-Man Wave 3 Case Ratios

I’ve already talked about the Marvel Legends Ant-Man and Avengers figures that went up for pre-order this week, so it won’t shock anyone that it’s time to move on to the last known (but not last to be released) Marvel Legends 2015 series: the Marvel Legends Spider-Man Rhino Build-A-Figure Series is now up for pre-order! And believe it or not, none of the figures that comprise this series is named “Spider-Man”!

Marvel Legends Hulkbuster Wave Case Ratios & Pre-Order!

Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 3 Hulkbuster Series Case

Ever since it premiered at the New York Toy Fair 2015 four months ago, collectors have been pining away for the Marvel Legends Avengers Hulkbuster Series of 6″ action figures. Prospective release dates for the United States have been ambiguous, and we weren’t even sure what the U.S. case ratios for the set would be. But all of the questions have now been answered, and the Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 3 figures are now available for pre-order!

Marvel Legends Ant-Man Series Up for Order! Ultron BAF!

2015 Marvel Legends Giant-Man Figure Packaged with Ultron Prime Leg

I woke up this morning to some good news and some bad news. The good news was that the Marvel Legends Ant-Man Series had finally gone up for pre-order! The bad news was: the first place to open orders was the store I trust to fulfill my order the absolute least: Toys R Us online. But wait! Have patience, young grasshoppers, because dependable Ant-Man Legends figure reservations popped up this afternoon: Amazon now has the entire Marvel Legends Ant-Man Series with Ultron Prime Build-A-Figure available for order!

Exclusive Marvel Titan Hero Iron Legion & Hawkeye Review

Marvel Titan Hero Iron Legion Figure Review

Sometimes there’s a huge intersection between what kids love and what hardcore collectors love… and sometimes there isn’t. While the Marvel Titan Hero line has saleswise been a spectacular success with the masses, the line hasn’t exactly been lovingly embraced by adult collectors. But last week I got a pair of more collector-oriented exclusive Titan Hero figures from Entertainment Earth, and this duo just may earn older collectors’ attention: it’s the Titan Hero Iron Legion & Ultimate Hawkeye figures!

Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 3 Packaged Photos! Hulkbuster!

Marvel Legends Vision Figure Packaged Avengers Series 3

Hasbro must have heard that I was out buying a house today to put more toys into, because when I got home, I’d received an E-Mail with photos of a bunch of new figures that will be joining my (really) extended family this summer! Though we’ve seen and heard exactly zip about the figures since they debuted at New York Toy Fair 2015 (and they won’t go up for pre-order for a little while yet), the official packaged and unpackaged photos of the Hasbro 6″ Marvel Legends Avengers Series 3 figures have now been released!

Marvel Mashers Hulkbuster Iron Man Released & Photos!

Walmart Exclusive Hulk Buster Mashers Figure Released

Most recent Marvel movies have had a clear breakout character, be it Hulk, Loki or the Winter Soldier. Avengers: Age of Ultron is a little bit weird, though, in that its breakout star isn’t a new character at all–it’s an armor! Having generated more hype and merch than just about any other character, it’s a surprise that the kid-focused Marvel Mashers line hasn’t gotten its own Hulkbuster before now. But the wait is at an end–the Mashers Hulkbuster Iron Man has arrived… and it’s exclusive to Walmart!

Hasbro Ultron Mark 1 Age of Ultron 3-Pack Released!

Target Exclusive Iron Man vs Ultron Three-Pack of Figures

A decade ago, I could pretty much plan on at least one store-exclusive Star Wars store figure, vehicle or box set being released per month. These days, though, Marvel has stolen all the store-exclusive mojo (for now), and it seems you can’t throw a rock without hitting a bunch of exclusive Marvel figures. And today, I finally stumbled across an Avengers Age of Ultron 3-Pack I’d been watching out for for months, including the exclusive Hasbro 4″ Ultron Mark 1 figure!

Exclusive Avengers Age of Ultron 4″ Figure Packs Released!

3 3/4" Avengers Age of Ultron Black Widow & Captain America Action Figures

You wouldn’t know it from the amount of news articles that ran anyway, but I was actually on vacation last week. Some items did slip through the cracks, though, and among them are some 4″ Avengers Age of Ultron figures two-packs. None of the figures are exactly “new”, and they’re exclusive to Toys R Us stores–but hey, they’ve got more than 5 points of articulation! That’s something, right…?

Hasbro Avengers Age of Ultron Scarlet Witch Released!

Hasbro 4" Scarlet Witch Age of Ultron Figure Released

I woke up this morning to the terrifying realization that there was no caffeine in the house. Seeking to avert this catastrophe, I decided to do an early-morning Target run, even though I wasn’t on the hunt for anything of the non-caffeinated variety. Luckily, I don’t think I’ve ever been in a Target in my entire life without checking the toy department, so I had to do a quick check–and discovered some figures I didn’t even know were out! The sorta-awaited 4″ Hasbro Avengers Age of Ultron Scarlet Witch, Iron Legion, War Machine and more have now been released!

Marvel Universe Black Cat Figure Review & Photos 2015

Marvel Infinite Series Black Cat & Miles Morales Figures

While the Hasbro Marvel Legends Infinite Series 3 3/4″ figures are back in 2015 for another year, the style and articulation level of new molds have undergone a drastic change going forward. This switch hasn’t exactly been met with open arms by collectors, but I decided to pick up the new Black Cat figure for review anyway.

Is she good? Sort of. Is the Marvel Infinite Series Black Cat worth buying for $13-$15…? Well…

Avengers Age of Ultron Titan Hero Ultron Figures Released!

Titan Hero Tech Ultron Figure Hasbro 2015

“Your armor is a joke–just like your species!” Although the Hasbro Avengers Age of Ultron toys have been on shelves for a couple of months now, there was a little something missing from most of the lines that have been released: a little something called Ultron himself!

But two new Hasbro Ultron figures have now appeared in stores: Titan Hero Ultron and the electronic, smack-talking Titan Tech Ultron figure!

Disney Store Exclusive Marvel Legends Avengers 5-Pack!

Marvel Legends Avengers Disney Store Exclusive 5-Pack

I’m very fond of Marvel Toy News’ track record of only having reported news that’s ended up being 100% true since the site’s inception, so I tend to err on the side of caution with what gets reported here. As such, when a totally unannounced Marvel Legends 5-Pack consisting entirely of old molds turned up in an auction listing–on April Fools’ Day–I hesitated to report it. But as it turns out, looks like I’m the fool–Hasbro has now confirmed that this European Disney Store Exclusive Marvel Legends 5-Pack is the real deal!

Marvel Mashers Groot Logan Skaar & More Released!

Marvel Mashers Groot Figure Packaged

With all of the recent releases in the past month from the more collector-oriented lines like Marvel Select, Marvel Legends and Marvel Infinite Series, I’ve neglected reporting on new figures from one of my favorite guilty-pleasure lines: Marvel Super Hero Mashers! If you’re a mash-up fan, get excited, because new Marvel Mashers Groot, Skaar, Logan, Bearded Thor and more have now been released online and in stores!
