Yesterday I covered the figures and statues in the Diamond Select Toys October 2020 solicitations, and now it’s time to finish the job by looking at the two new Marvel busts that they’ll be adding to their lineups in early 2021: the 1/2 scale Legends in 3D Carnage Bust and X-Men Animated Rogue Bust are now up for order! These are two headliner characters being captured in value-priced bust lines for the first time in over a decade—are they must-haves?

When Hasbro announced another “Marvel Legends Fan First Friday Tuesday Edition”, my mind immediately raced to recall what figures we still hadn’t seen put up for pre-order at New York Toy Fair 2020 (which has sadly turned out to be the only major toy event of the year). Two figures remained—Venomized Miles Morales and Gwenom Spider-Gwen—so it’s no surprise those were part of the reveal: the 2020 Marvel Legends Venom Venompool Build-A-Figure Series of figures goes up for order today! With a mix of movie, GamerVerse, classic comic book and modern comics characters, this is definitely an eclectic wave…!

It’s the first Monday of the month, and that means today was the day for another Hasbro Marvel Monday reveal! And this time out, Hasbro officially confirmed a figure that’s been heavily rumored since early in the year: the 2020 Marvel Legends Toxin figure is now up for order! This massive symbiote may look familiar to those who have either version of the Monster Venom figure that Hasbro has released twice now—is enough different to warrant a fresh purchase of this deluxe boxed figure?

Marvel Zombies fans went through a long dark age for merchandise where no Marvel heroes were allowed to be made into toys and collectibles anymore (although villains were okay). But that time is at an end, and the zombie invasion is upon us again–this time, from Funko! Marvel Zombies POP Vinyls are now up for order, including Gambit, Mysterio, Magneto, store exclusives and more!

I fully expected we’d be seeing the usual teases of what’s to come in the form of some Day-Before-Toy Fair Marvel Legends 2020 reveals, and Hasbro did not disappoint today with a whole load of new official images and information! … Continue Reading →
Eight days remain until the start of the 2020 New York Toy Fair, but today Funko had two brand-new Marvel POP Vinyls that just couldn’t stand to wait another week to be revealed: the exclusive Funko POP Spider-Man vs. Venom diorama and Punisher War Machine are now up for order!

With New York Toy Fair 2020 just two weeks and change away, I expected Hasbro to hold all their cards close to their vest until the event. Nevertheless, over the weekend images leaked of a new version of the popular 2018 Hasbro Monster Venom Build-A-Figure. And now, those who missed out on the original release and who just wanted a crack at a more “classic” styled iteration have got another chance: the Marvel Legends Venom Build-A-Figure variant is now up for order as a solo figure!

Just like you should never underestimate a droid, you should never underestimate Funko. When Funko launched their inaugural Venomized POP Vinyls in 2018 featuring characters like Venom Hulk and Captain America, I thought the series would find a niche audience and then fizzle. Instead, they’re kicking off 2020 with a third wave of the best-selling line: Funko POP Venomized Punisher, Ultron, Miles, Baby Groot and more are now up for order! And oh yeah—there’s a Hot Topic Exclusive Green Goblin Venom up for PO as well…

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…

Begun, the Carnage wars have! Carnage has long been one of the most popular and recognizable villains in comic books, and over the last couple years we’ve gotten new collectibles of the serial-killing symbiote from almost every major company. And so it should come as no shock that another company is now ready to enter the ring: the import Medicom MAFEX Carnage figure is now up for order! With so much competition out there, can the Carnage MAFEX really stand out…?

Hot Toys fulfilled the expectations of most collectors at SDCC 2019 last week by premiering more figures from Avengers Infinity War and Endgame, filling a few gaps in the Guardians of the Galaxy lineup and even giving us a few new Spider-Man PS4 costumes. But they also debuted something off-the-walls crazy at the show no one saw coming: the Hot Toys VENOMPOOL figure is now up for pre-order! (And yes, this is a Venom/Deadpool mash-up. Seriously!)

Hasbro hit collectors up with a trio of unannounced and unexpected exclusive Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Figures this spring/summer, when they put the Marvel Legends Anti-Venom, Cowboy Logan and Big-Time Spider-Man Figures up for order! When POs opened, we had a single glam shot of each figure to make our pre-ordering decision based on. But if one image isn’t enough for you (and really, it shouldn’t be), Hasbro has now sent out several new hi-res images of all three figures!

While they happen several times a year these days and we’ve all become acclimated to them, there was a time when Walgreens Exclusives were a new and revolutionary thing. The first one ever was the Marvel Legends Agent Venom that was confirmed almost half a decade ago now exactly, and as part of the 80th Anniversary Series, that legendary figure is getting a sequel: the Exclusive Marvel Legends Anti-Venom figure in white costume is now up for order!

After Diamond Select Toys acquired Gentle Giant Ltd. earlier this year, there were some early trepidations that it might be curtains for some of Gentle Giant’s long-running Marvel lines such as their busts and Skottie Young Babies. Luckily, it’s ended up being business as usual with a fairly steady string of new items being solicited this spring and summer. And now, the latest entries for both those respective lines have appeared: the Gentle Giant Ghost Rider Bust and Animated Spider-Man & Venom Statue are now up for order!
