NECA Captain America Battle Damaged 1/4 Figure Announced!

Posted on by March 18, 2014
Avengers NECA Battle Damaged Captain America Quarter Scale Figure

After the previously-released Marvel 1/4 NECA Avengers figures such as Iron Man, Captain America, a Thor: The Dark World Thor, quarter-scale figure collectors have been waiting patiently for the long-rumored Hulk figure to join his Avengers brethren. Unfortunately, it looks like those fans are going to have to wait a little more. NECA announced their next Avengers 1/4 scale figure this morning, and it’s a repaint with a new head–the NECA Captain America Battle Damaged quarter-scale figure is now up for order!

Revoltech Iron Man Mark VII Figure Reissue Announced!

Posted on by March 14, 2014
Sci-Fi Revoltech #42 Iron Man Mark VII Box Packaged

In the aftermath of Figma officially opening orders for their exquisite (albeit excessively expensive) Avengers Figma Iron Man Mark VII figure, Kaiyodo has decided to cash in on all of the interest in the Mark VII Iron Man as well! Though it was first released in early 2013 to mixed reviews and took quite a while to sell through, the Avengers Revoltech Iron Man Mark VII figure will be reissued and flying back to stores in summer 2014! But should you buy one? Maybe, maybe not…

Figma Iron Man Mark VII Figure Photos & Order Info!

Figma Avengers Iron Man Mark VII Figure on Stand

Considering the Iron Man Mark VII armor is featured in the most popular and top-grossing superhero movie of all-time (The Avengers), you’d think our shelves would be overflowing with a ton of great scaled 6″ Marvel Legends Iron Man Mark VII figures. Instead, we have zero. For whatever reason, Hasbro has never prioritized making a Mark VII Iron Man Marvel Legends-scaled figure, leaving a gaping hole in many collectors’ lineups. But it’s Japan to the rescue! Coming in August 2014, the amazing (and amazingly expensive) Avengers Figma Iron Man Mark VII figure is now up for order!

Guardians of the Galaxy Big Blastin' Rocket Raccoon Action Figure Hasbro 2014

It’s always tough to drum up enthusiasm to write an article that most people aren’t going to read about a figure that most readers aren’t going to be interested in buying. Luckily, it helps when the figure in question happens to be one of your absolute favorite characters in the whole Marvel Universe! Coming to stores in July 2014, it’s the biggest Rocket Raccoon action figure scheduled for release–the mighty 8″ Big Blastin’ Rocket Raccoon Guardians of the Galaxy electronic figure!

New York Toy Fair 2014 LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy Knowhere Escape Mission 76020

LEGO was a lot more successful with prohibiting photos of the upcoming LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy sets at Toy Fair 2014 than I expected them to be. Marvel did not want LEGO to allow photography of the Summer 2014 LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy sets, and as such no one was permitted to take photos. Of course, it was only a matter of time until some images leaked anyway, and now we can share a first look at the Guardians of the Galaxy LEGO Knowhere Escape Mission 76020!

KidRobot Marvel Labbits Series 2 Photos, Ratios & Release Info!

Marvel Labbit Series 2 Case KidRobot 2014 Vinyl Figures

One of the things that instantly caught my attention at the New York Toy Fair 2014 was a brand-new KidRobot Marvel Labbits Series 2 assortment! KidRobot can go years between releasing series, so I wasn’t anticipating seeing more Marvel Labbits until 2015. Joke’s on me, though–not only did Kid Robot show an entire new series of Marvel Labbits figures, but all of the 2014 Marvel Labbits figures are due to be released in stores this coming week!

Figma Thor Figure Photos & Order Info!

Figma Avengers Thor Figure with Flight Stand Max Factory 2014

Well that was fast, now wasn’t it? Over the weekend the first painted prototype images of the Figma Avengers Thor 6″ Figure surfaced from a Japanese magazine. Good Smile Company (the distributor of Figma figures) has now released hi-res images of the 6″ Figma Thor action figure, and pre-orders for the Figma Thor are now available!

But while this is one mighty fine-looking Avengers Thor movie action figure, the price he comes at is mighty high…

Marvel Super Hero Mashers Series 3: Ghost Rider! Deadpool! Iceman!

2014 Toy Fair Marvel Mashers Ghost Rider

Marvel Super Hero Mashers definitely are not my favorite action figure line of 2014. In general, they’re a bit too “kiddie” for me, and I wasn’t totally in love with the character selection for the first series. That said, Hasbro may have won me over–just a little bit–with their Toy Fair 2014 Marvel Super Hero Mashers Series 3 reveals. As if Hasbro went into my brain and pulled out four characters that would be ideal lures for me, at last week’s New York Toy Fair 2014 Hasbro debuted the Marvel Mashers Deadpool, Iceman, Red Hulk and Ghost Rider figures!

Figma Avengers Iron Man Thor Captain America Figures

One of the few things that I was disappointed to see no-show last week’s New York Toy Fair 2014 was the longtime-coming Figma Avengers action figures. I thought these 1/12 scale figures might show up at the Good Smile booth, but no dice. But fear not, import figure fans! Fairly comprehensive photo previews of the Figma Avengers Thor, Captain America and Iron Man have started to appear in Japanese magazines, giving us our best look at the trio yet! Do they look good? Well, yes… and no…

Toy Fair 2014: ThreeA Dr. Doom 1/6 Figure Revealed & Photos!

Toy Fair 2014 ThreeA Dr. Doom 1/6 Figure Revealed

It was actually not until my third pass through the New York Toy Fair 2014 ThreeA Toys booth that I realized there was something new on display at the booth. While my eyes had been drawn to the four ThreeA Iron Man figures on display repeatedly, somehow I kept missing the figure standing immediately next to them. But sure enough, I eventually did open my eyes all the way and see the debuting prototype of the next addition to the line: the Marvel ThreeA Dr. Doom sixth scale figure!

Toy Fair 2014: MAFEX Amazing Spider-Man 2 DX Set Revealed!

Toy Fair 2014 Amazing Spider-Man 2 DX MAFEX Set Revealed

Of all the things that I was not expecting to see while wandering around the Diamond Comics Distribution booth’s display cases at this week’s New York Toy Fair 2014, a brand-new, unannounced deluxe MAFEX action figure set would have been near the top of the list. While we learned last month than MAFEX had a brand-new Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie figure on the way for later in 2014, what we didn’t know until Toy Fair 2014 is that they were also planning on releasing a special MAFEX Amazing Spider-Man 2 DX Set with a ton of accessories. Of course, the catch is that those accessories will cost you. A lot.

LEGO Marvel X-Men vs The Sentinel 76022 Photos – Toy Fair 2014

LEGO 76022 X-Men vs The Sentinel Box and Storm Minifigure Toy Fair 2014

The existence of the LEGO Marvel 2014 set featuring a LEGO Sentinel, Blackbird jet, and minifigures of Storm, Wolverine, Cyclops and Magneto is one of LEGO’s worst-kept secrets. Images of prototypes of the set have been circulating for months on various sites (including here), so it was a veritable certainty that the set would be shown at the New York Toy Fair 2014 this weekend. It was. The LEGO X-Men vs. The Sentinel 76022 set is coming in summer 2014!

LEGO Marvel 2014 Hulk Lab Smash Review Part 1: Minifigures

Posted on by February 13, 2014
LEGO MODOK Minifigure from LEGO Hulk Lab Smash 76018

Though I run both a LEGO blog and a Marvel blog, I don’t buy every LEGO Marvel set. With LEGO there are just so many high-priced items each year, and usually they’re better than the Marvel LEGO ones. That said, as soon as I saw the LEGO Marvel Hulk Lab Smash 76018 set, I knew it would be coming home. And sure enough, I walked into the LEGO Store Tuesday, saw LEGO 76018, bought it on sight, and built it immediately. I’ll review the playset portion of this set later, and discuss what everyone really wants to hear about first: the minifigures!

LEGO Marvel 2014 Sets Finally Released & Photos!

LEGO 2014 Marvel Super Heroes Sets Released

When speculation hit the net that the major licensed 2014 LEGO sets would be delayed past January 2014 until after the theatrical release of The LEGO Movie (so as not to damage LEGO Movie sets’ early sales), I thought that notion was silly.

But I guess maybe there was something to that rumor after all… the LEGO Movie hit theaters just days ago, and like magic, all of the LEGO Marvel 2014 sets have suddenly appeared in LEGO stores!

76021 LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy Set The Milano Ship Rescue

LEGO has been trying their best to keep the LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy sets under wraps and images of the sets off the Internet. And their efforts have paid off–LEGO came very close to making it to this weekend’s New York Toy Fair 2014 without photos of any of the sets leaking out. But with just a few days until NYTF, the first photo of the LEGO Guardians of The Galaxy The Milano Ship Rescue 76021 set has snuck out…
