It seems like hardly a week goes by when there’s not some new high-end Marvel Statue to talk about that costs a half a grand (or more!). But fear not, collectors who love statues but don’t love spending exorbitant amounts of cash on them: Diamond Select Toys has you covered with their reasonably-priced resin and PVC statue lines. And their latest release just might be their best one to-date: the 16” Marvel Premier Collection Cable Statue is finally beginning to ship out!

Earlier this weekend I talked about the new wave of Funko Avengers Infinity War POP Vinyls, the latest entries in a line beloved by tens of millions for its low-priced, super-deformed, space-saving Figures. Today, I’m going to talk about the antithesis of Funko POPs—humongous, ultra-realistic, limited-edition, crazy-expensive resin statues! You guessed it: it’s time to talk about the 1:4 Iron Studios Thanos and Iron Spider statues that are now up for order!

Later on this month, I’ll be posting my review of the first new Hasbro Marvel Legends Psylocke figure in years from the recently-released X-Men Legends Apocalypse Series. But while Hasbro’s latest Betsy is just starting to reach most collectors’ hands, she’s already got some serious competition on the horizon for best 6” Psylocke figure ever: the Amazing Yamaguchi Kaiyodo Revoltech Psylocke is now up for order!

Play Arts Kai Marvel has had a good ride, with the series lasting longer and going deeper character-wise than anybody expected. But this time, I think the end may really be nigh. Not just for Marvel Play Arts Kai—but largely for PAK as a whole! For the first time since the heyday of Play Arts Kai, Square-Enix didn’t reveal a single new PAK from any line at SDCC 2018. But if Marvel PAK is really coming to an end, at least it can go out with a bang: Play Arts Kai X-23 is now up for order!

Continuing to recap the cornucopia of new Avengers Infinity War toys and statues that have gone up for order this month, today I’m looking at one of the newer companies on my radar. Iron Studios has gone to the Avengers Infinity War well more than any other statue maker thus far with not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE new statues from the movie solicited in the past month: the Infinity War Iron Studios Captain America, Falcon, War Machine, Thor and Winter Soldier statues are all up for order now!

Diamond Select Toys is expanding their range of Marvel statues faster than any other company in the collecting landscape, and that trend continues the latest round of solicitations. After unveiling their first-ever Marvel 1:2 (half-scale) bust in the spring with a very impressive Deadpool, DST has their second entry ready to launch: the Marvel Venom Bust is now up for order! But those who prefer their traditional full statue resin offerings to busts aren’t left out in the cold, as Premier Collection Lady Deadpool is on the scene as well…

Avengers Infinity War may ultimately be the biggest superhero movie of all-time, but there’s still plenty of love for this year’s other two MCU movies. And so, fresh off the DVD release of Black Panther and in anticipation of next month’s theatrical release of Ant-Man and the Wasp, the latest trio of Diamond Select Toys Marvel Gallery PVC figures are all in honor of those “other” movies: the Marvel Gallery Ant-Man, Wasp and Shuri statues are now up for order!

Diamond Select Toys’ Marvel Gallery line of PVC statues is the gift that keeps on giving, bringing us multiple new low-priced statues from Marvel comics and movies virtually every single month.

At this point, Mezco Toyz has serviced most Wolverine fans. Whether you’re a fan of Wolverine in his Tiger Stripe, Brown or X-Force costumes—or even if you prefer Old Man Logan—there’s a ONE:12 Collective Wolverine for you. But for those fans who like Wolverine out of costume and not, well… old… Mezco has one more flavor left in store for you: the Mezco ONE:12 Collective Logan figure is now up for order!

Talk about striking when the iron is hot! Thanks to the mega-success of Deadpool 2, Domino is more popular this week than the character has been since, well… ever! And not ones to miss an opportunity, Diamond Select Toys is ready to swoop in and capitalize: the first-ever resin Domino Statue is now up for order! And that’s not all DST has lined up for the Marvel Premier Collection: a Black Panther movie Statue is now on the way as well…

It’s no secret that I’ve been getting seduced by the sweet siren song of Iron Studios over the past few months, as their resin 1/10 Battle Diorama Series Marvel statues are becoming more and more impressive. The largest series to-date by far is coming in the form of the Avengers Infinity War BDS, and following up on last month’s successful Thanos and Cull Obsidian launches, the first three Avengers are joining the fray: the Iron Studios Black Widow, Hulkbuster and Hulk statues are now up for order!

Believe it or not, despite the fact that Bandai Tamashii has released well over a dozen S.H. Figuarts Iron Man figures, they’ve never released the iconic Mark 7 armor from the first Avengers movie—at least, not until now! The SH Figuarts Iron Man Mark VII figure with Hall of Armor diorama is now up for order in the United States! And Bandai also has another beloved variant costume coming our way in a bit more wacky fashion—Black Ninja Spider-Man is on the way!

The Mezco ONE:12 Collective star was just beginning to rise when their Punisher figures were released, so a plethora of collectors missed out on owning any of the four ONE:12 Collective Punisher figures that were released in 2017 (including the Classic Punisher that sells for 1000% of his original cost today!). But while a comic-based Punisher may be forever out of reach for many Mezco Toyz collectors, they’re about to have a shot at a live-action Frank Castle—the ONE:12 Collective Netflix Punisher is now up for order!

I had to do a double-take this morning when I saw that the very first Marvel San Diego Comic-Con 2018 exclusives had been revealed, as it looks like SDCC is swiftly sneaking up on us again! Just like last year, Diamond Select Toys is one of the first companies to the punch. Among their first batch of reveals is a trio of SDCC Exclusive Marvel Gallery statues including a white Phoenix, unmasked X-23 and a Grey Hulk that are now up for order!

Ever since he made his debut as the Winter Soldier in 2014, collectors have been dreaming of an SH Figuarts Bucky figure to pose alongside their Figuarts Captain America. We didn’t get one for The Winter Soldier, nor did we get the one Bandai teased for Civil War. But third time may be the charm: as part of the Avengers Infinity War series, an SH Figuarts Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes 6” figure is now up for order! However, is this the perfect Marvel Legends scale Bucky fans have been hoping for…?
