Yesterday I talked about the impressive trio of resin Marvel Premier Collection statues Diamond Select Toys brought to New York Toy Fair 2019, but today let’s look at the latest entries in their ever-improving and extremely popular Marvel Gallery PVC range! As always, DST brought the goods to Toy Fair, with brand new value-priced Marvel Gallery Beast, Proxima Midnight, Goblin Queen and Captain Marvel PVC figures!

One company that never, ever disappoints me at Toy Fair is Diamond Select Toys, and they continued that streak with some absolute eye-poppers at the 2019 Toy Fair. I’ll talk about their various Marvel Select, Gallery and Minimates figures throughout the next few days, but today let’s look at the items that impressed me most: their upcoming Marvel Premier Collection Iceman, Carnage and Green Goblin statues!

Hey guys! I’m back from the New York Toy Fair 2019 Hasbro Media Presentation, which was one of the most mind-blowing experiences of my life–and that was just the opening song and dance number by the Hasbro higher-ups set to “Be Our Guest”! (Sadly, recording was expressly forbidden.) Anyway, I’ve taken over half a thousand hi-res Marvel Legends photos, which I’ll be uploading over the course of tonight to the Marvel Toy News Facebook, Instagram and Twitter Pages. Thanks and enjoy the coverage!

Remember that Medicom MAFEX Wolverine figure that went up for sale last month and made thousands of X-Men collectors’ jaws hang out of their mouths? Well, it looks like that Wolverine wasn’t a random, one-off figure! Over the weekend at this year’s Winter Wonder Fest 2019 in Chiba, Japan, Medicom was on-hand with a surprise prototype for what’s presumably their next 6″ X-Men figure: MAFEX Cyclops in his Jim Lee 90s X-Men costume!

Sideshow Collectibles put a record-breaking five female X-Men Premium Format Figures up for order last year, but it looks like the party isn’t over for fans of the X-Ladies just yet! Though I’m not sure she’s ever technically been part of the core “X-Men” team, her movie appearance in Deadpool 2 and relationship with Cable has put her on the map as a major fan-favorite: the 1:4 Sideshow Exclusive Domino Premium Format Figure is now up for order! And this is another piece I would say is definitely “EX or bust”…

Just as Psylocke fans have been enjoying a feast of new collectibles for the X-Men’s most popular telekinetic ninja lately, there’s been a multitude of new yellow costume Wolverine toys and statues released over the last year as well (including a much-loved Sideshow Premium Format Figure 1/4, a Marvel Legends figure and even a Revoltech). But the latest action figure of the Best There Is At What He Does has been praised by some as perhaps the best yet: the MAFEX Wolverine figure is now up for order! Let’s have a look…

UPDATE 1/25/2019: A new image of the recently-announced Psylocke Marvel Select figure has now been released by DST! If the apparent lack of these accessories were putting you off from placing your Marvel Select Psylocke pre-order, it’s time to rethink that decision! What do you think of the new interchangeable head, psyblade and psychic butterfly effect, Marvel collectors?

January 2019 has been a semi-quiet month news-wise, but when it rains, it pours. And when Diamond Select Toys sends out a new round of solicitations, it practically monsoons! DST has a whopping SEVEN new Marvel figures and statues in their latest round of solicits, and today I’ll be looking at a trio of them from one of my favorite lines: the Marvel Gallery Okoye, Dazzler and PS4 Spider-Man Rhino Figures are now up for order!

The three waves of Marvel Legends figures hitting this month (the Spider-Man Kingpin Series, Captain Marvel Movie Series and Black Panther M’Baku Series) have been a bit hit-or-miss with collectors, with many fans saying they’re picking-and-choosing just a figure or two or even skipping the waves entirely. But Hasbro posted the first packaging photos today of a wave that’s got “surefire blockbuster” written all over it: the 2019 Marvel Legends X-Men Caliban Series!

UPDATE 1/7/2019: Hasbro decided to get the week started in a hot way by allowing online retailers to open POs for one of the most-demanded Marvel Legends figures of all-time: the Marvel Legends Professor X in Hoverchair (with Shadow King head!) is now up for order! And oh yeah–Deadpool with Scooter, Dogpool or Squirrelpool? Yeah–he’s available too, both by himself and bundled with Professor X!

Earlier this year, Hasbro gave 6” figure collectors their very first dose of a modern X-23 Marvel Legends figure in the Deadpool Sasquatch Series with X-Force X-23. I was taken off-guard by how much I liked that figure, primarily because of its awesome head sculpt. But a few months later, Hasbro hit Laura Kinney fans up again with the version of the character everyone had been waiting for: the Marvel Legends X-23 Wolverine figure! Though she’s hard to find in some areas, you can get ML X-23 Wolverine online for MSRP without a fuss—should you?

While I initially thought that there might not be enough marketable related characters to produce a second wave of Deadpool Legends, Hasbro drew from a much deeper well and used the Sauron Series to give us an assortment that’s more of a pseudo second X-Men wave for the year than anything else. And one of its highlights is an X-Men villain we haven’t seen in 6” form in 13 years! Marvel Legends Omega Red is available now online for above retail price: should you replace your Toybiz version with this one?

While Sideshow Collectibles posted teaser photos online of most of their new products making their public debuts on display at New York Comic Con 2018, they kept one nice surprise under wraps to be revealed at the show: a Magneto 1/6 figure! As a character Hot Toys never has and perhaps never will do a movie 12” figure of, this caught a lot of collectors’ eyes. And now the Master of Magnetism is ready to capture their wallets as well: the Sideshow Exclusive Magneto Sixth Scale figure is now up for order!
