Sideshow X-Men Storm Statue 2021 Premium Format Figure Quarter Scale

After hitting 1/4 statue collectors with a veritable deluge of X-Men statues over the course of about two years, Sideshow Collectibles hit the brakes and slowed things down considerably once the pandemic hit. Other than a (rather awkwardly posed) Brown Costume Wolverine, Sideshow has launched zero new X-Men statues since 2019. But the drought is at an end—and appropriately enough, it’s Ororo Munroe bringing the rain! The new Sideshow Storm Premium Format Figure statue is now up for order: does the Wind Rider look worth the six Ben Franklins she’ll set you back?

Sideshow Silver Surfer Maquette Statue (w/ Nova) Released & Photos!

Sideshow Collectibles Silver Surfer Nova Statues

Sometimes you just can’t tell based on a first impression when a piece is going to end up being a popular hit with fans! One such case is the recently-released Sideshow Collectibles Silver Surfer Maquette (with Nova included with the Exclusive Edition). When Sideshow debuted this resin statue last summer, it wasn’t met with the instant universal love. But now that collectors have actually started getting their 1/4 Silver Surfer statues in-hand, things have changed a bit! Let’s take a look…

Diamond Select Toys Gamora Lizard Wolverine Statues January 2021

A new year is upon us in 2021, but even with the new year and the president, we can still rest assured that the consistency of a new round of Diamond Select Toys Marvel solicitations will come each and every month.

Silver Surfer Sideshow Nova Frankie Raye Exclusive Statue

And after months of anticipation, the Sideshow EXCLUSIVE Silver Surfer Maquette (with EX Nova companion piece!) is now up for order! The Exclusive Nova statue is definitely one of the better Sideshow exclusives ever, although the 1/4 Silver Surfer statue itself has divided fans somewhat!

Kotobukiya Black Cat Steals Your Heart Bishoujo Statue Photos & Order Info!

Kotobukiya Black Cat Steals Your Heart Bishoujo Statue PVC Figure

Kotobukiya only brought along a singular piece of concept art for their long-running Marvel Bishoujo statues series when they travelled to New York Toy Fair 2020 during the winter, so there was never any mystery regarding what the next release would be: Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat. The original 2011 release required an awful support stand and looked too much like a little girl for me, so I had high hopes for this new iteration. And now that the Kotobukiya Black Cat Steals Your Heart Bishoujo statue is up for order, I’m happy to say that my optimism has been rewarded…

Close-Up of Skull Head Portrait Taskmaster Sideshow Collectibles Statue

We are almost at the halfway point of 2020, and up until now, Sideshow Collectibles has only launched pre-orders on a single 1/4 Marvel Premium Format Figure statue this entire year (a new version of Deadpool). But that changed this week, when a long-teased character was finally solicited. And this isn’t a redo either—it’s an all-new character for Sideshow (and a villain at that!): the Sideshow Exclusive Taskmaster Premium Format Figure went up for sale this week! Is this classic comics-based baddie worth buying for big bucks…?

Kotobukiya New York Comic Con 2020 Exclusive Bishoujo Phoenix Rebirth Statue Green

New York Comic Con 2020 is not something I expected to be talking about in May 2020–especially since it’s uncertain whether or not that beloved annual October event is even going to occur this year. But Kotobukiya had other thoughts, because this week they went and announced a limited edition exclusive for the show—that’s only available via pre-order from online retailers! The Kotobukiya NYCC 2020 Bishoujo Phoenix Rebirth (Green) Statue is now up for order—is this an exclusive worth locking in?

Sideshow Exclusive Deadpool Premium Format Figure on Scooter 2020

Bizarre fact: it is now May 2020, and Sideshow Collectibles just opened their very first 1/4 Marvel Premium Format Figure pre-order this week. If that’s not a sign of the times, I don’t know what is! But regardless, the new Sideshow Deadpool Premium Format statue is now up for order! Depending on how you count, this is somewhere between Sideshow’s 3rd and 6th statue of the Merc with a Mouth—is it their best one yet… and worthy of its $600+ price-tag?

Doctor Strange Sideshow Collectibles 2020 Statue

For over 14 long years, the resin Bowen Designs Doctor Strange statue by the Kucharek Bros. has reigned supreme and unchallenged as the best domestic comic-based statue of the Sorcerer Supreme in all the land. But following the good doctor’s explosive rise in popularity thanks to his appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a new challenger is about to enter the fray: the 1/4 Sideshow Collectibles Doctor Strange statue went up for order today! And who better to try to take down the champion than the sculptors of the Bowen piece—the Kucharek Brothers themselves…

PCS Venompool Statue Photos & Order Info! 40”! Contest of Champions!

Size Comparison of Venompool PCS Statue and Sideshow Deadpool 12 Inch Figure

When Hot Toys launched pre-orders in the summer for their 14” Venompool 1:6 figure for $400+, I thought that would be one of the wildest solicitations of the year. I mean, 400 bucks for a virtually unknown mobile game mash-up character? Crazy talk. But Marvel newcomer Pop Culture Shock Collectibles is upping the ante in a mind-exploding away: the 40” PCS Venompool 1:3 scale statue goes up for order this afternoon… for $2500! (Yes, you read that right.) Yowza. Let’s have a look…

Marvel ARTFX Premier Silk PVC Statue

Kotobukiya has been steadily pumping out new Marvel ARTFX Premier statues ever since the line debuted at New York Toy Fair 2019 in February, with the series of premium PVC figures already in the double-digits heading into 2020. There have been some colorful choices thus far such as Loki and Cosmic Ghost Rider, but the latest is the most out-of-left-field yet: the Kotobukiya Silk ARTFX Premier statue is now up for order! How’s it look—and does an audience for merch of this character still exist…?

Iron Studios X-Men Statues! Cyclops! Wolverine! Rogue! Beast! 1:10 BDS!

Posted on by December 11, 2019
X-Men BDS Iron Studios Statues

Last month, Iron Studios debuted their mind-blowingly X-Men vs. Sentinel statue that, while amazing, 99%+ of collectors could (or would) never, ever pay ~$1800 for. But all is not lost for X-Men fans with smaller display areas (or smaller credit limits)! Iron Studios had a plan for those collectors as well, and after a few weeks of slowly rolling them out, affordably-priced Iron Studios Cyclops, Wolverine, Beast and Rogue statues are all up for order individually! If you can’t have these with the massive Sentinel diorama, are worth the investment?

Sideshow Spider-Man & Mary Jane Maquette Statue! J. Scott Campbell!

Spider-Man and Mary Jane Statue Sideshow J Scott Campbell

While companies look the other way and ignore early reactions to products far too often for many fans’ liking, this week we’ve seen two examples where feedback was heard and the art is a vast improvement as a result. The first example was the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, where Sonic at least looks like himself and not a monster now (even if the writing still doesn’t seem impeccable). The other—and actually relevant—instance is the latest Sideshow Collectibles statue: the J. Scott Campbell Spider-Man & Mary Jane maquette is now up for order!
