Last week I was talking about Bandai Japan closing out their Spider-Man Homecoming movie entries with their SH Figuarts Homemade Suit Spidey and Iron Man figures, but not to be outdone, Mezco Toyz has a much-anticipated straggler of their own! Not content to just re-outfit the existing ONE:12 Collective Spider-Man, they’ve made some changes and slimmed Peter down–the ONE:12 Collective Spider-Man Homecoming figure is now up for order!

Having been thoroughly buried by the overwhelming amount of Hasbro Marvel Legends news coming out of SDCC 2017, I haven’t quite gotten around to completing my Gentle Giant coverage for event. Luckily, Gentle Giant Ltd. is saving me the trouble of posting SDCC photos by releasing hi-res photos and solicitation info already! Among other new Marvel collectibles, the Gentle Giant Spider-Man Mark IV bust and Animated Daredevil statue are now up for order!

While we saw various bits and pieces at SDCC 2017 from a number of rumored Marvel Legends series, Hasbro brought one series to Comic-Con that no one was expecting–and it just so happens to be the one series they showed in its entirety! It’s a one-off series for now, but if it’s popular it could become something more: the Marvel Legends Vintage Series, featuring Black Widow, Pizza Spider-Man, Brown Costume Wolverine and more!

The main event of San Diego Comic Con 2017 for Marvel Legends collectors has finally arrived! I’ll write up comprehensive listings with details and hi-res images of all these figures as I have the time and official images become available, but for now, here’s a short roundup and recap of all the SDCC 2017 Hasbro Marvel panel reveals…

Just when I thought that Hasbro was done for the day, they busted out another quartet of previews for upcoming 2018 Marvel Legends figures! Not only did Hasbro decide to show off the hotly-anticipated Marvel Legends Ghost Rider and motorcycle set this afternoon, but they also gave us our first SDCC 2017 tastes of new waves of Avengers and Spider-Man Marvel Legends figures with Gwenpool, Songbird and Spider-Punk!

‘Twas the week before San Diego Comic Con, and although news was quite slow, Diamond Select was stirring, with two waves of Marvel Minimates to show! *Achem* The excruciating wait for SDCC 2017 comes to an end in just a few days, but perhaps not wanting their latest 2″ figure reveals to get lost in the veritable avalanche of Marvel toy news we’ll be buried in next week, DST has given us a little treat with early reveals of Marvel Minimates Series 74 and Walgreens Minimates Series 6–including Black Bolt, Surtur, King Hulk, Medusa and more!

While millions of Spidey fans around the world are celebrating the theatrical arrival of Spider-Man Homecoming this weekend, purist comic-based fans of the Web-Slinger are getting some love as well! Care of Iron Studios, an all-new line of 1/10 Spider-Man Battle Series Diorama statues is now up for order! And Iron Studios wasn’t pulling any punches with their character selections: Spider-Man, Venom, Carnage and Spider-Gwen!

Surprise, surprise! With exactly two weeks remaining until the beginning of San Diego Comic Con 2017, there was still one Marvel exclusive for the show waiting to be revealed–and as it turns out, it just may be my favorite one of all! Skottie Young Marvel Babies fans have been wondering for a while when a Gentle Giant Marvel Animated Spider-Man statue would be swinging in–and the answer is shockingly “in two weeks at SDCC 2017!”

The once-mighty Hasbro Marvel Universe 3.75″ figures line (now under the “Marvel Legends” banner) has fallen on some tough times, with what feels like less and less figures hitting each year. But while output may have slowed, the party isn’t over yet! The latest series of Marvel Legends 4″ figures is now up for order, and is composed of figures revealed a full year at SDCC 2016 including Jewel, Age of Apocalypse Magneto and more!

Plot twist…! A couple weeks back, I was lamenting that the SDCC 2017 Mezco ONE:12 Collective Exclusive for Marvel was X-Men Deadpool, when what I really wanted was one of a million possible costume variants of Spider-Man. I’ve been watching the Mezco Toyz website the last few weeks to see what the DC exclusive for Comic Con would be, but instead Mezco hit us with a real surprise–the ONE:12 Collective Miles Morales Spider-Man is a second Summer Exclusive!

With just three weeks and a day to go until the beginning of San Diego Comic-Con 2017, we now know just about all of the SDCC 2017 exclusives. But as always, there are a few stragglers–and as usual, one of them is The LEGO Group! But while we likely won’t know what Marvel minifigure (if any) will be available exclusively at the con for a while yet, we do know at least one 2017 SDCC LEGO Marvel Exclusive: BrickHeadz Spider-Man & Venom!

Sad but true: judging by the super-fast way that many stores clearanced it out after only having it stocked for a few weeks, the very cool 12″ Marvel Legends Deadpool figure was not the retail savior of the Marvel Legends 12″ line that we all hoped for. Luckily, the line still has four more entries in it to turn its 2017 around! 12″ Daredevil, Thor and (14″) Hulk won’t be out until later in the summer, but the next character in the series has arrived: the Exclusive Marvel Legends 12″ Symbiote Spider-Man!

Way back in February, when Hasbro started teasing the Marvel Legends Spider-Man Homecoming figures series, one of the very first items that we got to see was the new Marvel Legends Homecoming Iron Man Mark 47 figure. I saw Iron Man Mark XLVII and his two-pack partner (Tom Holland Head Unmasked) Spider-Man at Toy Fair, but that’s the last that we saw the duo… until today! The first packaged photos of Spider-Man Homecoming Marvel Legends 2-Pack have popped up online!

Earlier this month, to the delight of thousands of high-end Spidey collectors worldwide, Hot Toys finally put their classic-ish red-and-blue Spider-Man Homecoming figure up for order. At the time, while Hot Toys announced that an unmasked Peter Parker Tom Holland portrait would be included, the sculpt was still unapproved and blurred out at the time. But it turns out we don’t have to wait months for the mic drop this time–the Hot Toys Tom Holland head has now been revealed!
