UPDATE 5/23/2019: …Well here’s a reissue that’s been a long time in the making…! When Diamond Select Toys released Carnage back in 2015, he was instantaneously sold out pretty much across the entire internet.

I was away at Emerald City Comic Con 2019 all last week, but luckily I didn’t miss much, as it’s been ridiculously quiet on the Marvel toy news front.

But while there’s still nothing new to report, we’ve got a real blast from the past appearing online: a half dozen-plus previously sold-out Exclusive Marvel Select figures have popped up online–at clearance prices!

Diamond Select Toys has been making Marvel Cinematic Universe characters as part of their line of Marvel Select figures almost from the beginning of the MCU, with only a handful of movies missing toys.

But have no fear, it’s better late than never: the Exclusive Marvel Select Ant-Man and the Wasp figures are now up for order online!

I’m leaving for New York Toy Fair 2019 tomorrow morning, but before I can even get out the door, companies are beginning to post previews of new products that will be fully unveiled at the event this weekend!

While Hasbro has played all their Captain Marvel movie cards already, we’re still waiting to see exactly what kind of love Carol will be getting from some other prominent companies. Diamond Select Toys finally announced the first of their Captain Marvel collectibles this week (almost certainly with more to come), including a figure that most DST fans’ eyes will be fixed upon: the Marvel Select Captain Marvel figure is now up for order—and hey, there’s a Minimates box set too!

Over half a decade ago, the first review I ever wrote on this site was for the exceptional Marvel Select Venom figure—a figure I still think stands out today as one of the best toys of the character ever. But as that figure has been sold out and unavailable for a while now, many collectors may still need one—and now they’re getting a chance at an updated version: a new Disney Store Exclusive Marvel Select Venom figure is now up for order! And the stylized heads in this set feel anything but rehashed…

When Diamond Select Toys announced their Marvel Select Avengers Infinity War lineup last winter, it sort of threw most collectors for a loop. Captain America, Thor and… Spider-Man?

One of the highlights for me at practically every major event where new toys are showcased is the inevitable plethora of new Diamond Select Toys Marvel figures and statues. And at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, DST did not disappoint, as they debuted a multitude of new PVC Marvel Gallery statues (like Mr. Sinister!), several new Marvel Premier statues (like Hobgoblin!), and even an expansion of their 1/2 scale busts (like Spider-Gwen!)!
