Sentinel Armorize Iron Man Tony Stark Figure

If you haven’t heard of the toy company Sentinel, don’t feel too ashamed. The Asian toy manufacturer Sentinel is best known stateside for its well-done Attack on Titan statues and small smattering of Transformers products, which are its most relevant properties for the western audience. But with the Marvel Cinematic Universe conquering the world, Sentinel is ready to descend and claim their piece of the Marvel collectibles pie, and they’re starting with Marvel’s current most marketable character: the Sentinel Armorize Iron Man figure is now up for order!

NYCC 2014 Marvel Play Arts Kai Spider-Man Announced!

Posted on by October 13, 2014

If I wasn’t expecting Square-Enix to debut a Marvel Play Arts Kai variant figures line at New York Comic Con 2014 by unexpectedly showing off the Play Arts Kai Iron Man figure (and I was not), then I definitely wasn’t expecting the second figure from the line to be revealed as well.

Square-Enix oftentimes likes to take their dear sweet time, but I guess they were just too excited about Play Arts Kai Spider-Man to wait!

Big Hero 6 Movie Figures and Toys Released & Photos!

Posted on by October 7, 2014
Big Hero 6 Movie Toys Figures Display

Marvel Comics has essentially divorced itself from the upcoming Disney Big Hero 6 movie in every conceivable way. The Marvel Comics logo is absent from virtually all promotional materials and they’ve basically said that there will be no new Big Hero 6 comic books now or in the foreseeable future–not even new reprints in trade paperback form. I’ve been a Big Hero Six fan since 1998, so I’m not ready to give up on the franchise just yet (that is, not unless the Big Hero 6 movie really, really sucks). And while the Big Hero 6 toys definitely have their flaws, they have some positives worth commending as well…

This minifigure polybag is going to be of major interest to LEGO Marvel completists, because the LEGO 5002125 polybag is currently the only known way to get an Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie Electro LEGO minifigure!

Baby Groot Life-Size Model Announced! (Dragon Models)

Posted on by September 25, 2014
Dragon Studios Baby Groot Life Size Model

Given that Baby Groot is all the rage after his breakout popularity following the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, it’s not a shocker that some Marvel merchandiser would cash in on the Baby Groot phenomenon with a life-size Baby Groot statue. What is a bit surprising, however, is the company doing so.

Dragon Models doesn’t get a whole lot of headlines, but they’ve earned this one today–the Dragon Models 7″ Baby Groot life-size model is up for order!

XM Studios Hawkeye Statue Close-Up

Although he’s one of the few members of the Avengers without no superpowers whatsoever, Hawkeye is about as classic as Avengers come. And not only is Hawkeye a favorite character of Avengers fans, but Clint Barton is also a favorite character for high-end companies to produce collectibles of.

Marvel Disney Infinity 2.0 Yondu Figure Confirmed!

Posted on by September 11, 2014
Disney Infinity Yondu Figure

Poor Yondu gets no respect. Hasbro passed him by for the Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy series. There’s no Hot Toys Yondu figure in the works, nor is there a LEGO Yondu minifigure on the way. Even Funko opted to leave Yondu out of the first series of Funko Guardians of the Galaxy POP! Vinyls figures. But finally, Yondu is about to get his due! Today, Disney announced that a Disney Infinity Yondu figure is in development, and Yondu will be a playable character in the Disney Infinity 2.0 Marvel video game!

Disney Infinity Rocket Raccoon Figure Packaged

If you’re like me (and you must be at least a little bit like me, or you wouldn’t be on this blog reading this post), you were woefully disappointed that no developer stepped up to bat to create a Guardians of the Galaxy video game to coincide with the blockbuster movie’s release. (Movie tie-in video games are almost always duds, mind you, but it would have been nice nonetheless.) But fear not, fellow Guardians of the Galaxy fanatics! Disney themselves is going to fill the void and give us the Guardians of the Galaxy gaming action we’ve been craving–and toys to go with it! The Disney Infinity Guardians of the Galaxy Play Set and all five members of the Disney Infinity Guardians of the Galaxy figures are now up for order!

Phoenix XM Studios Statue Close-Up

Are the Marvel Sideshow Premium Format Figures just not doing it for you anymore? Have you been yearning for even more scandalously expensive quarter-scale Marvel statues? Well, then I may have just the statue company for you! The Singapore-based XM Studios is perhaps the biggest up-and-comer in the Marvel high-end collectibles world, and at this weekend’s STGCC 2014 (Singapore Toy, Game, and Comic Convention 2014) they’re showing off a near-finished prototype of their newest Marvel Premium Collectibles Statue: Phoenix (Jean Grey)!

Marvel Mashers Iceman & Ghost Rider Figures Released!

Marvel Super Hero Mashers Ghost Rider Figure Packaged

These are dark and troubling times indeed when I drop what I’m doing and race off to Target on a tip that new Marvel Super Hero Masher figures have been released, but such are the times we find ourselves in.

Online stores received the latest case of basic Mashers last month, but physical stores have been way behind and buried in unsellable Hawkeye figures. But finally, the new Marvel Mashers Iceman and Ghost Rider figures have begun hitting retail stores this week!

Marvel Vinylmation Green Goblin & Mary Jane Variants Found!

Posted on by August 30, 2014
Marvel Vinylmation Mary Jane Variant Figure

In the early days of the Disney Vinylmation figures line, the rarest blind-box figures out there were the Vinylmation Mystery Chasers that were packed at one-per-case. But things have changes in the last few years, and now there’s something even rarer: Vinylmation variants. Packed at far less than one per case, the Marvel Vinylmation variants from Series 1 of Phasing Vision and Bearded Thor have long been the most valuable Vinylmation Marvel figures. They now have some competition, though–Vinylmation Green Goblin and Mary Jane variants have now appeared and are selling for $150-$300 each!

Vinylmation Marvel Kingpin Chaser Figure Revealed!

Posted on by August 30, 2014
Disney Vinylmation Kingpin Chaser Vinylmation Marvel Series 2 Spider-Man

When Disney announced the lineup of figures in Vinylmation Marvel Series 2 last month, visions immediately began to dance in collectors’ heads of what spectacular, beloved character would be the “mystery chaser” that wouldn’t be revealed until the cases were released. The most popular theories were for a Vinylmation Carnage, Gwen Stacy or Doc Ock chaser. Well, the Vinylmation Spider-Man series was officially released yesterday, and now we know the chaser’s identity. Though the immediate response has been disappointment, the Marvel Vinylmation Kingpin Chaser has been revealed!
