SDCC 2014 Kotobukiya Classic Psylocke Bishoujo Statue Revealed!

Kotobukiya SDCC 2014 Exclusive Classic X-Men Psylocke Bishoujo Statue Revealed

Regular readers know that I’m pretty outspoken about my dislike of the Kotobukiya Bishoujo Marvel statues. I feel that they’re often posed in such a cheesecake way that they’re embarrassing to look at, much less bring into the house where my wife can see them. But Kotobukiya won my first-ever Bishoujo statue sale last year when they released one of my absolute favorite characters, and now they’re going to be removing money from my bank account once more for her variant–the SDCC 2014 Kotobukiya Classic Psylocke Bishoujo statue has now been revealed!

NECA SDCC 2014 Exclusive Marvel Scalers Spider-Man & Iron Man

2014 SDCC NECA Spider-Man and Iron Man Scalers Exclusive

We’ve had some pretty big reveals over the course of the month as far as this year’s San Diego Comic Con 2014 exclusives go, but now it’s time to step back and talk about some exclusives that a bit smaller–both in size and in hype. Among the hundreds (it feels like thousands) of SDCC exclusives, not all of them are for us hardcore collectors. Such is the case with NECA’s thus far only announced Marvel SDCC 2014 exclusive– NECA Scalers Spider-Man and Iron Man!

2014 SDCC Exclusive Hasbro Marvel Infinity Gauntlet Figures Set!

Hasbro SDCC 2014 Marvel Infinite Gauntlet Exclusive Figures Set

Hasbro did a superb job this year of keeping their SDCC 2014 Marvel Legends exclusive set of 6″ figures under wraps until they were ready to grandly unveil it today. Their 3.75″ Marvel Infinite Series SDCC 2014 exclusive set…? Not so much. We’d seen some photos leak from Asia over the last few weeks, and I instantly guessed that we would be getting a Thanos-themed Marvel Universe exclusive set. And, as expected, that’s exactly what we’re getting–but it’s also coming with a really cool wearable, foam Infinity Gauntle! It’s the SDCC 2014 Marvel Infinity Gauntlet figures set!

SDCC 2013 Exclusive Funko Metallic Red Hulk POP! Vinyl Review

Funko Metallic Red Hulk POP! Vinyl Bobblehead Figure

If there’s a toy company out there that I desperately want to love more than Funko, I don’t know what it is. I’ve had my share of quality control issues with the Funko POP! Vinyls figure line over the years, which has left me mostly admiring their goods from afar. But with the massive amount of cool 2013 San Diego Comic Con exclusives Funko released, I could resist no more, and picked up a trio of their con exclusive Marvel POP! Vinyls. By luck (or bad luck) of the draw, I opened the Metallic Red Hulk POP! Vinyl first…

2013 SDCC Exclusive Funko Metallic Red Hulk POP Vinyl Revealed!

Marvel 2013 SDCC Exclusives Funko Metallic Red Hulk POP Vinyl Figure

I might have an obsession. See, once Marvel officially announced the SDCC 2013 Exclusive Funko Metallic Red Hulk POP! Vinyl figure, I became pretty fixated and seeing what they’d do to the most huggable of the Hulks. But the image Disney/Marvel sent out with the press release was just a photo of the plain Red Hulk. Thus, for the last week-plus I have been a man on a mission, with my quest being to find photographic evident of the actual Metallic Red Hulk SDCC Exclusive figure. And finally, today, my investigation turned up the first photo of the elusive POP! Vinyl Metallic Red Hulk!

Just when I thought we had seen every single one of the 2013 Marvel SDCC Exclusives, a few more sure-to-be-coveted figures have made themselves known! I also run a LEGO and Mega Bloks blog, so I always have my ear to the ground, listening for LEGO news and rumors. And today I heard a pretty loud rumble regarding two brand-new, previously unannounced LEGO Marvel SDCC Exclusive minifigures: a LEGO Spider-Woman Minifigure and a LEGO Spider-Man Minifigure (in movie costume!)

Funko SDCC Exclusives 2013 Metallic Ghost Rider POP Vinyl Marvel Figure

Earlier this week, Marvel confirmed a few more Funko 2013 San Diego Comic Con exclusives. Most we’ve known about for quite a while, but two were a big surprise: the SDCC 2013 Exclusive Marvel Funko Metallic Ghost Rider and Metallic Red Hulk POP! Vinyls.

SDCC 2013 Exclusive Funko POP! Iron Patriot Unmasked James Rhodes

Funko SDCC 2013 Exclusives Marvel POP Vinyls Unmasked Iron Patriot James Rhodes

Earlier this month, I posted an article about the surprise reveal of a Marvel Funko POP! Tony Stark vinyl figure being released as an exclusive at the Philippine Toy Con 2013, as well as at SDCC 2013. At that time, I speculated that Tony’s longtime comrade James Rhodes would probably be joining Tony as a San Diego Comic Con 2013 exclusive. Well, Toy Con has come and gone, and now that in-hand photos of the Marvel POP! Vinyl Tony Stark’s box exist, I can confirm that a Funko Iron Patriot Unmasked James Rhodes Vinyl will in fact be flying in for SDCC 2013 next month…

Heroclix 2013 Convention Exclusive Shuma Gorath Figure!

Heroclix Shuma-Gorath with Moveable Eye Figure

I don’t just like Shuma Gorath. I love Shuma Gorath. No, seriously. How much do I love Shuma Gorath? I mained Shuma Gorath in every Capcom video game he’s appeared in, including Marvel vs. Capcom 3. In fact, I am wearing a Shuma Gorath T-Shirt right now, even though I had no conception whatsoever that I’d be writing about Shuma Gorath today (as the opportunity to do so has literally never come up before). Anyway, my point is that I love Shuma-Gorath, and the relevance of that fact is that I just ordered my first Shuma Gorath figure ever this afternoon–the Heroclix Shuma Gorath 2013 Convention Exclusive figure!

Today we inched ever so closer to knowing every single one of the Marvel San Diego Comic Con 2013 exclusives, as we finally learned the well-kept secret identity of the Gentle Giant Ltd. exclusive for the convention! I hadn’t seen anyone previously guessing or talking about him, so I guess Gentle Giant really did their job keeping their exclusive a mystery.
