Diamond Select Toys brought a smaller than usual assemblage of new Marvel collectibles to New York Comic Con 2024, so I was a mite worried we wouldn’t get a good round of DST solicitations this month.

Way back in 2010, Hasbro released a classic Crimson Dynamo figure as part of their 4” Iron Man 2 line of action figures. It was a pretty great figure for that scale, and when 6@ Marvel legends returned two years later, collectors hoped a classic Crimson Dynamo would be imminent from Hasbro. 13 years and hundreds of figures later, ol’ Dynamo has still never materialized in classic form (though there was a modern version BAF). But as happens from time to time, Diamond Select Toys is picking up the slack! At SDCC 2023, Marvel Select Crimson Dynamo was revealed to complement their existing Marvel Select Titanium Man!
UPDATE 8/25/2023: Marvel Select Crimson Dynamo is now up for pre-order!

Is this an essential toy of Bobby Drake, or does Hasbro still boast the best Iceman action figure in the land?

Secret Invasion is inching closer to premiering on Disney+ each day, and that means Skrull-related tie-in comics and toys are starting to re-emerge as well. A modern Secret Invasion comic book limited series just ended, Hasbro has several Skrull Marvel Legends figures lined up for the fall and Diamond Select Toys just started shipping the subject of today’s review: the Marvel Select Super Skrull figure (with the powers of the Illuminati)!

Not every figure has been a winner (I’m looking at -you-, Miles Morales), but by and large there have been a lot more hits than misses. And this week, I’ll review a few of those hits, starting with the subject of today’s review! The Marvel Select Vision figure is classic as can be—is he a must-have for your classic Avengers lineup?
