It’s been quite a while since my last Marvel Legends reviews, but I’m back and ready to wipe out the last three figures in this year’s X-Men Age of Apocalypse Legends wave! And first up will be the only double-packed figure in the wave. You can get the Marvel Legends AOA Weapon X Wolverine figure for about 15 bucks shipped now online—is he worth picking up at that 20% discount? Here’s my review of the alternate universe Best There Is At What He Does…

San Diego Comic Con 2020 (At Home) may have come for an end, but we’re still going to have convention exclusives to look forward to for months to come! Last week, Hasbro revealed what would have been their SDCC 2020 Exclusives—but will now be sold online this fall as “Convention Exclusives” instead. Coming to Hasbro Pulse in September: the Marvel Legends Hellfire Box Set and Marvel Legends Logan Movie Two-Pack of Wolverine and Professor X!

While last week’s Hasbro solicitations were rightly focused on the 20th Anniversary of the original X-Men live-action movie, as soon as those figures went live for pre-orders fans were asking when we’d be seeing the Deadpool movie figures that were unveiled at February’s New York Toy Fair 2020. But the time is now here—and Wade isn’t alone! The Marvel Legends Deadpool movie figures and Old Man Logan/Hawkeye two/pack are now up for order:
Movie Deadpool & Negasonic Teenage Warhead ►

Old Man Logan & Hawkeye ►
Time flies, and the proof is that somehow today is already the 20th Anniversary of the original live-action X-Men movie! Not a company to let such a momentous day go by without celebration, Hasbro has officially launched a quartet of figures we first saw debuted at the 2020 New York Toy Fair: Marvel Legends X-Men Movie Mystique, Wolverine, Magneto and Professor X are now up for order!
And for those who prefer to order their figures through Amazon, here’s the direct links:

I’m back from New York City, so now it’s time to start digging deep with my Toy Fair 2020 coverage! While I talked about and gave impressions of the Avengers and X-Men Legends waves that launched for pre-orders over the weekend, Hasbro brought plenty more goodness to show at the event–including long-awaited Marvel Legends Nimrod and Old Man Logan figures, along with Old Man Hawkeye, new versions of Rogue and Storm, and more!

While Sideshow Collectibles’ Marvel sixth scale figures line got off to a rocky start with a 1/6 Deadpool that’s still available over half a decade after going up for sale (seriously), the figures that came after him sold much better—including the Brown Costume Wolverine that swiftly sold out and escalated in value on the aftermarket. Turns out demand for Logan wasn’t met, many collectors cried out for more, and here he is: the 1/6 Sideshow Wolverine Tiger Stripe figure is now up for order!

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?

Diamond Select Toys has carved out a nice little niche for themselves as purveyors of low-priced half-scale busts over the last year, with an ever-increasing variety of limited 1:2 Legends in 3D busts arriving in the market. The headlining sub-series … Continue Reading →
As prices continue to rise on large resin statues, we’re seeing a mini-resurgence of Marvel mini-busts this year with new offerings coming from Sideshow, DST and Gentle Giant. Sideshow kicked off their new line of smaller busts earlier this year with a cool Thanos, but now they’ve upped the ante with a cheaper—and more impressive—second piece: the Sideshow Wolverine Bust is now available for order! This might be the best half of a Wolverine statue I’ve ever seen…! But they’re not the only ones launching a Logan bust today…

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!

UPDATE 6/3/2019: For those who were waiting for Amazon, they now have singles of the whole X-Force Marvel Legends Wendigo series up for order as well. If other sites are any indication, looks like Mr. Sinister will be the figure to sell out first in pre-orders!

Sideshow Collectibles has gone all-in on their X-Men Premium Format Figure series of 1:4 statues, attacking collectors’ wallets with more fervor and enthusiasm than I can ever remember from them.

Is this piece “EX or bust”?
