Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man Figure MMS 179 Released & Photos!

Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man Unboxing MMS 179

The bad news is that I have now lost a bet and owe a friend five bucks. The good news is that the bet that I lost was my guess that the Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man Movie Masterpiece Series figure would be delayed into 2014! After countless delays and the figure not even being shown at San Diego Comic Con 2013, I thought it was very possible the Amazing Spider-Man Hot Toys figure would fail to make it out before the end of 2013. But I was wrong–it’s taken quite a while, but the Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man MMS 179 figure has now been released overseas!

Zombie Venom Marvel Zombies Mini Bust Revealed

Though Gentle Giant Ltd. didn’t attend last weekend’s 2013 New York Comic Con event, they had a minor presence at the show in the form of their Marvel Zombies Magneto mini bust exclusive that was sold at the Marvel booth. In addition, Gentle Giant sent out E-Mails and unveiled several new products in honor of NYCC 2013 during the show, including the second in the series of Marvel Zombies mini-busts: the Gentle Giant 2014 Zombie Venom bust!

Spider-Man Marvel Legends 2014 Figures Revealed at NYCC 2013!

2014 Spider-Man Legends Carnage Figure Marvel Legends Infinite Series

I wasn’t expecting a whole lot of news to come out from the NYCC 2013 Hasbro Press Event (after all, if there’s a lot of new product to show, why not have a panel at New York Comic Con itself or at least an exhibitor’s booth set up?). To my surprise, Hasbro debuted a significant number of never-seen-before Hasbro Marvel figures, including a series that just may be my favorite 6″ line of next year.

Coming in Spring 2014–the Spider-Man Marvel Legends Infinite Series 6″ figures!

Peter Parker POP Vinyls Bobble Head Exclusive Comikazee Expo

Ever since I posted leaked photos from the new Funko book that was out on display at San Diego Comic-Con 2013, I’ve been wondering when and where the elusive Peter Parker Funko POP! Vinyl figure would make itself known. Well, it’s taken several months, but now we know for certain–the Funko Peter Parker POP! Vinyls Bobble-Head figure will be available exclusively at Stan Lee’s Comikazee Expo in Los Angeles, from November 1-3, 2013!

J. Scott Campbell Spider-Man Comiquette Exclusive Up for Order!

Sideshow Spider-Man J. Scott Campbell Maquette Up for Order

When Sideshow Collectibles put up the teaser images of their upcoming J. Scott Campbell Spider-Man Comiquette statue trio, I was quite certain the only one I’d be getting was Gwen Stacy. I hate Mary Jane as a rule, and I didn’t think the Spider-Man J. Scott Campbell statue would bring anything to the table I hadn’t seen before. I was so wrong, though, as the exclusive version of the J. Scott Campbell Spiderman Comiquette comes with a partially unmasked Peter Parker head that just may be my favorite head for a Spider-Man statue ever–and the Sideshow Exclusive Edition Spider-Man Statue is now up for pre-order!

Marvel Minimates Songbird & Cyborg Spider-Man Figures

In 2012, Diamond Select Toys gave fans the opportunity to vote for the lineup of Marvel Minimates wave 50. A year later, the figures selected by over 30,000 fans have finally hit stores! I had a bout of hubris today, as I thought I’d just stroll into my local comic book store the day after Marvel Minimates Wave 50 was released and snatch up a complete set of the Minimates Fan’s Choice Series. As you may have guessed by the way I framed that sentence, things didn’t go exactly as planned…

2014 is going to be an expensive year for high-end Marvel collectors. I mean, it’s always an expensive year for Marvel high-end collectors, but 2014 is looking like it’s going to be especially crazy. On top of a veritable armada of Hot Toys Iron Man Movie Masterpiece Series figures, Sideshow Marvel Premium Format Figure Statues, and Kotobukiya ArtFX+/Fine Arts Statues, Sideshow has also slipped in a new trio of Spider-Man Comiquettes, including this knockout Gwen Stacy Statue that is now up for order!

Marvel Legends Scarlet Spider Review (Wave 6 Rocket Raccoon Series)

Scarlet Spider Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon Series Figure

If you’ve looked at the header for Marvel Toy News (or the Facebook cover, or the Twitter icon or the Facebook avatar), then you might have some suspicions that I have a ‘thing’ for the Scarlet Spider. And you would be absolutely right. I am a huge fan of the current Marvel Comics ongoing “Scarlet Spider” book by Christoper Yost, and as such this was my most-anticipated Marvel Legends figure of 2013 (after the raccoon). Though this Marvel Legends Scarlet Spider figure ends up feeling like a rehash (because it is), I like it all the same anyway….

Marvel Vinylmation Series 1 Thor Figure Trading Card Photo

We knew going into this weekend’s D23 Expo 2013 that that first series of Disney Vinylmation Marvel figures wasn’t going to be until fall, so there were zero expectations for an early release at the convention or anything like that. But sometimes it’s nice to have the bar set low, because then you can be pleasantly surprised!

No, Disney didn’t sell the series at the show, but they did give out free promotional trading cards showing off photos of the Vinylmation Marvel Series 1 figures for the very first time!
