Sharp-eyed readers may have noticed that last month, even though the Specialty Series Exclusive Funko Iceman POP Vinyls figure was announced, it never actually ended up being listed for sale by most online retailers. But patience has paid off for X-Men fans–the Funko POP Iceman figure is now up for order! And he’s brought along another exclusive friend, too: Dorbz Iron Fist!

Tragedy stuck last week when the February 2017 Funko Marvel Collector Corps box I ordered arrived at my doorstep less than a day after I left for New York Toy Fair 2017. Oh, the humanity!! …Okay, that’s probably a bit of hyperbole, but it was a disappointment to me to not be home to do an unboxing myself for the first time ever when a new Funko subscription box arrived. But as luck would have it, I have a wife, and I put her to work taking unboxing photos last week, which I’m now using for my Funko Superhero Showdowns review, unboxing and full spoilers…

Over the weekend at New York Toy Fair 2017, Funko gave us our first taste of their Spider-Man Homecoming vinyl toys and figures. But it turns out that was just a sample of what the Big F has lined up for us, as an expansive variety of Funko Spider-Man Homecoming POP Vinyls, Dorbz, Hero Plushies and Pint-Size Heroes went up for order today!

I didn’t think that there was even a one in a billion chance that Funko–the most prolific collectible toy manufacturer in the land–would come to New York Toy Fair 2017 without something new Marvel-themed to show off. And as it so happens, I was correct, as Funko brought along all of their new Spider-Man Homecoming POP Vinyls and Pint-Size Heroes figures to showcase! And I have to say–these might just be the cutest Peter Parker and Tony Stark figures ever…

New York Toy Fair 2017–the biggest toy news event of the entire year–is now just barely over a week away! With that in mind, I had thought the Marvel Collector Corps Superhero Showdown Box shipping next week would be the only Funko Marvel news I’d have to talk about before the show. But the King of Exclusives thought otherwise this week, announcing their Emerald City Comic Con Exclusive WWII Captain America POP Vinyl figure!

When the Funko Iceman POP Vinyl figure was revealed last week as a Specialty Series exclusive, that left just one Funko Dorbz X-Men figure without a POP Vinyls counterpart… until now! After debuting in vinyl figure form at New York Comic Con 2016 as a Dorbz, Juggernaut is finally going to get his due as an unstoppable exclusive–it’s the Walgreens Exclusive Funko Juggernaut POP Vinyls figure!

Way back in summer 2016, Funko released their first-ever Iceman vinyl figure as part of a SDCC 2016 Exclusive Dorbz X-Men 3-Pack. Following that up, the Hot Topic exclusive Iceman Mystery Minis figure arrived at retail this winter (an appropriate season for Iceman to be released). We’ve been wondering since last summer when and where we’d finally get an official Funko Iceman POP Vinyl figure, but now we wait no more: the Specialty Series Iceman POP figure has now been announced!

Some toy companies get a little bit quiet in the month before the New York Toy Fair (and yes, I’ll be braving the bitter Manhattan winter again for you all next month), but Funko isn’t one of those companies! In fact, they hit us up with a double whammy of Marvel POP Vinyls announcements today–including one pair of Jessica Jones figures that’s not exactly “news” and a quartet of Netflix Daredevil Season 2 POPs now up for order that definitely are…

Earlier today I discussed the nine new figures that will make up the first wave of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Funko POP Vinyls at mass retail, but as usual, Funko’s got a cavalcade of exclusives coming for us as well! Whereas the first GOTG movie had only one store exclusive when it launched, Funko is quintupling that number for Guardians of the Galaxy 2, with five exclusives including a Target Exclusive super-sized Baby Groot POP!

Now that we’re officially into 2017, I knew it was only going to be a matter of time until Funko flooded us with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 merch. Well, the dam has officially burst, and man has Funko ever got a lot of GOTG 2 goodness coming our way! So much, in fact, that I’ll be breaking their offerings into several smaller, more digestible posts. But we’ll begin with the main line most fans will be excited about–the Funko Guardians of the Galaxy 2 POP Vinyls are now up for order!

Ever since the first photo leaked of the back of the Kamala Khan POP Vinyl’s box, we’ve known that a number of classic Marvel comics characters (who just happen to be starring in their own TV Series in 2017) would be joining the POP Vinyls lineup. We just didn’t know when or where they’d be coming–until now! The Previews Exclusive Funko Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Black Bolt POP Vinyls are now up for order!

I was beginning to fear I was going to have to spend X-Mas without a visit from the X-Men, but luckily the new Funko Collector Corps X-Men Box turned up on my doorstep this afternoon! So before everyone orders their Superheroes Showdown Box for February, let’s look at the Funko X-Men Box with a full review, spoilers and unboxing photos!

In my grumpy old age, I don’t have the fervor for pulling blind boxes I did when I was a kid (in college). So I wasn’t enthusiastic when it was announced there were going to be six exclusive Funko X-Men Mystery Minis figures mixed in the Gamestop and Hot Topic assortments. Not wanting to buy 3 cases to complete my set, I decided to test case layouts submitted by readers. Six blind boxes later, my set is complete and the X-Men Mystery Mini case layouts are confirmed…

Funko has been uncharacteristically quiet thus far in December, but that streak came to an end this week with a handful of new Marvel products announced. The most notable is definitely the latest addition to the growing garage of Funko vehicles. You may already own a Funko POP Deadpool Taco Truck (in three colors), but it’s time to start again in a new style: the Funko Dorbz Ridez Deadpool Chimichanga Truck is now up for order!

Remember that Funko POP Vinyls Ms. Marvel Kamala Khan box back that leaked a few weeks ago? Well, there’s good news and bad news. The good news is–Kamala Khan has arrived earlier than expected! The bad news is–she’s a Walgreens Exclusive (AAAUUUGGHHHH!!)! And oh yeah, she’s also brought a certain clone buddy, but you better work fast to find them–the Funko Ms. Marvel and Scarlet Spider POP Vinyls are already all over the aftermarket!
