Earlier today I posted my thoughts on the comic book-based Marvel ONE:12 Collective figures revealed at the New York Toy Fair 2018, but those weren’t the only presents Mezco brought Marvel fans at Toy Fair! Along with an old friend from last Toy Fair who never made it out (Netflix Daredevil), Mezco also brought along new live-action figures of Netflix Punisher, Vigilante Daredevil, and Hela from Thor: Ragnarok!

With the “obvious” selections of ONE:12 Collective Homemade Suit Spider-Man and movie Black Panther being revealed in the buildup to New York Toy Fair 2018, I really wasn’t sure what I’d be seeing added to the Marvel ONE:12 Collective series walking into the Mezco Toyz booth at the show. As it turns out, the three comic-based figures debuted were all ones I wouldn’t have guessed: ONE:12 Collective Blade, Cable and Cyclops Figures!

Marvel Legends are far and away the most popular line of Marvel figures coming out today, but they’re also far from the only Marvel toys and collectibles out there.

New York Toy Fair 2018 is just 12 days away—but sometimes there are toy announcements that just can’t wait. This is one of those times. Because there’s a movie coming out in 11 days called “Black Panther”, and as such, demand for Black Panther toys is at an all-time high.

Good news: Hasbro officially unveiled their first toys tying in to this summer’s Ant-Man and the Wasp movie this week. Bad news (from a certain point of view): None of those toys are 6″ Marvel Legends figures. We’re going to be waiting a bit longer (likely until New York Toy Fair 2018 in two weeks) to see what Hasbro has in store for adult collectors as far as Ant-Man & Wasp movie toys go, but in the meantime, let’s take a look at the Titan Hero figures, role-play items and 12″ action figures that are on the way…

Medicom dropped the jaws of Marvel collectors around the world earlier this winter, when they revealed that their first-ever Marvel comics-based MAFEX figure was going to be none other than… the Unbelievable Gwenpool?! (Yup—that is pretty unbelievable!) I really thought Medicom might backtrack and actually start their new Marvel MAFEX line with a different character, but now it’s official that she’s kicking off the line: the Marvel MAFEX Gwenpool 6” figure is now up for order!

NECA had one of their biggest grand slams ever when they released their 18” Deadpool figure last winter. So much so, in fact, that after recently releasing an X-Force variant, they’re ready to complete the hat trick just one year after the original DP’s release! But this time out, the big attraction isn’t a different costume: the NECA Ultimate Deadpool 18” Figure is now up for order—and it comes with a veritable cornucopia of crazy accessories!

Diamond Select Toys’ Marvel Gallery statues line exploded in 2017, with both the number of value-priced statues available and the line’s maistream profile growing exponentially. But one thing the line was lacking—with two key exceptions—was representation for the X-Men. But the DST Old Man Logan and Phoenix figures won’t have to be lonely for much longer—the 2018 Marvel Gallery Savage Land Rogue Statue has now been revealed!

11 months ago, Mezco Toyz held their annual pre-Toy Fair 2017 event, where they debuted several of their most ambitious Marvel ONE:12 Collective figures to date. But even amongst figures like ONE:12 Collective Doctor Strange with his elaborate costume, one figure stood out—because it had no soft goods at all! Almost a year later, the ONE:12 Collective Iron Man figure is now up for order! Is this figure worth more than quadruple the cost of a Marvel Legends?
