Play Arts Captain America & Black Widow Up for Order!

Posted on by August 15, 2015
Square-Enix Play Arts Kai Captain America Figure

One month ago at San Diego Comic-Con 2015, Square-Enix gave fans their first glimpse at two new Marvel Play Arts Kai variant figures: the Black Widow we saw painted photos a few weeks ago, and an armored Captain America that painted images of were just revealed this week. I’d been wondering which of the two Avengers was going to be the next to go up for order, and today I got the answer I’d been waiting for: BOTH! The Square-Enix Play Arts Kai Captain America and Black Widow figures are now up for order… but they may end up costing a few more dollars than you’d like…

NECA Hulk 24″ Quarter Scale Figure Revealed!

SDCC 2015 NECA Hulk Quarter Scale Figure

Although he’s easily in the popularity upper-echelon of characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, because of his immense size, movie Hulk doesn’t tend to get as much merchandising as Captain America or Iron Man or even Thor.

But after three years of teases, NECA Toys is finally giving the big green guy the quarter-scale figure treatment: the long-awaited 24″ Hulk NECA figure was revealed at SDCC 2015!

Square Enix Black Widow Play Arts Kai Figure Revealed

One of the things I never quite got around to talking about from San Diego Comic-Con 2015 earlier this month is the unpainted prototypes of the Marvel Play Arts Kai Captain America and Black Widow figures that debuted at the event.

Luckily, Square-Enix has now rendered that a moot point (or at least half of one), as today they sent out the first photos of the painted Black Widow Play Arts Kai figure!

Bandai SH Figuarts Ultron Figure Revealed & Photos!

Ultron Figuarts Figure Bandai Japan

Considering that the grand total number of Marvel villains that Bandai Japan has produced since beginning making MCU SH Figuarts figures with “Iron Man 2” is zero, there hasn’t been a whole lot of expectations that we’d be seeing any villains from this year’s movies created in magnificent Figuarts form. But Avengers: Age of Ultron has been Bandai’s most successful Marvel line–by far, so Bandai is giving us something unexpected: an SH Figuarts Ultron figure has now been revealed!

Diamond Wolverine in Snow Statue Photos & Order Info!

Diamond Select Wolverine Marvel Premier Collection Statue

Once upon a time, Diamond Select Toys had its own line of high-end Marvel statues. The Marvel Premier Collection was a modest little line and not a statue-producing juggernaut like Bowen Designs, but DST produced some quality pieces in the line that are still desirable today.

And now, the Diamond Select Toys Marvel Premier Collection will live again–the Wolverine in Snow statue is now available for order!

SDCC 2015 3A Toys Spider-Man Figure

The week of San Diego Comic-Con 2015 is not the week I would have chosen for an exhaustive move into a new home, but alas–no use crying over late coverage.

That said, I’ve got a lot to catch up on now, including the latest from ThreeA Toys. We’ve known for over a year now that 3A Toys Spider-Man figures have been in the works, and at SDCC 2015 last week we finally got to see what the artists at 3A Toys have been working on…

Play Arts Kai Marvel Venom Figure 2015

Square-Enix shocked us by unveiling three all-new Marvel Play Arts Kai variants (that’s two more than I expected) at the New York Toy Fair 2015 back in February, and has continued to tantalize Marvel collectors with glimpses of Spider-Man’s most popular villain ever since.

But the time for teases is over, as the lethal symbiote has now been fully revealed: the Square-Enix Play Arts Kai Venom figure is now up for order!

Titan Hero Ant-Man Figure Close-Up

From Marvel Select to Marvel Legends to Marvel Minimates and Marvel Infinite Series, we’re getting mini figures of Ant-Man all over the place in celebration of the upcoming Ant-Man movie!

But maybe what you’ve been waiting for isn’t a little figure of Ant-Man… but a big one! And if so, Hasbro has just the low-priced action figure for you: the 12″ Marvel Titan Hero Ant-Man figure has now been released in stores!

SDCC 2015 Exclusive LEGO Throne of Ultron Set!

SDCC Exclusive LEGO Throne of Ultron Set 2015 203 Pieces

With hype for the Guardians of the Galaxy movie in full swing last July, the SDCC 2013 Exclusive Rocket Raccoon Warbird set became a hot commodity that blew away everyone’s expectations, at one time selling for well over $200 on the afternarket. This year’s exclusive LEGO Marvel box set… is probably going to be a tad less desirable: it’s the just-announced exclusive SDCC 2015 LEGO Throne of Ultron set!

Sentinel RE:EDIT War Machine Figure Up for Order!

Sentinel War Machine RE EDIT Figure Covered in Weapons

Following his surprisingly decent-sized role in Avengers: Age of Ultron, 2015 has turned out to be a far bigger year for War Machine figures than I ever imagined! New figures are coming this year from Marvel Legends, Hot Toys, SH Figuarts, Minimates, Sideshow Collectibles and more. And now, we can add perhaps the most unique entry of all to that list: the unique Sentinel RE:EDIT War Machine figure is now up for order!

Venom Play Arts Kai Figure Photos Revealed!

Play Arts Kai Venom Variant Figure

The Marvel Play Arts Kai figure that got me the most excited at the New York Toy Fair 2015 Square-Enix booth was the one that actually wasn’t on display at all: it was the concept art for the Play Arts Kai Venom figure!

Well, we had to wait an extra four months to see it in plastic form, but the time is here: the first photos of the Venom Play Arts Kai Marvel Variant figure have now been revealed!

XM Studios She-Hulk Statue Photos & Details! Sold Out!

XM Studios She-Hulk Statue Flexing Alternate Arm

I usually don’t report on XM Studios Marvel statues. Not because they’re not beautiful (they are), and not because they’re expensive (they are), but because they’re literally near-impossible for most folks stateside to acquire. Even so, the most recent statue to go up for order (but not for us in the U.S.) caught my eye, as it’s my favorite female character! Just like a high-priced lawyer, you’ll need mucho dinero to snag a 1/4 XM Studios She-Hulk statue…

Marvel Play Arts Kai Thor Figure Photos & Order Info!

Square-Enix Thor Play Arts Kai Marvel Variant Action Figure

I know most folks have been overall very happy with the last few Marvel Legends Thor figures that Hasbro has released, but I’ve never been fully satisfied. As nice as those figures are, I don’t feel like they capture the power and majesty of the God of Thunder. But where I feel like Hasbro falls a tad short, coming off of over a decade of producing Final Fantasy figures, Square-Enix knows exactly how to make a figure look mythic! And as part of their new-for-2015 Variant line, they’re getting their chance to make Thor look really divine: the Play Arts Kai Thor figure is now available for order!

SH Figuarts Hulkbuster Iron Man Photos & Order Info!

Bandai SH Figuarts Hulkbuster Iron Man Action Figure

When Bandai Japan first debuted their lineup of SH Figuarts Avengers Age of Ultron figures, there was an imposing shadow in the background that may have generated more discussion and hype than all of the figures Bandai actually showed combined. That silhouette… belong to Hulkbuster Iron Man. Considering the size and sure-to-be-crippling price of such a figure, I was skeptical Bandai Tamashii Nations would tackle such a beast. But it’s true! The monstrous SH Figuarts Hulkbuster Iron Man goes up for order at the end of this month–and he will be coming with a monstrous price to match…

Marvel Mashers Hulkbuster Iron Man Released & Photos!

Walmart Exclusive Hulk Buster Mashers Figure Released

Most recent Marvel movies have had a clear breakout character, be it Hulk, Loki or the Winter Soldier. Avengers: Age of Ultron is a little bit weird, though, in that its breakout star isn’t a new character at all–it’s an armor! Having generated more hype and merch than just about any other character, it’s a surprise that the kid-focused Marvel Mashers line hasn’t gotten its own Hulkbuster before now. But the wait is at an end–the Mashers Hulkbuster Iron Man has arrived… and it’s exclusive to Walmart!
