But don’t worry, DST collectors—you won’t have to starve for new offerings, as there are not one, not two, but five new exclusives coming your way this summer: the GameStop Exclusive Mysterio, Emma Frost, Spider-Man Noir and more are now up for order online!

While the Mezco Marvel ONE:12 Collective series has been going strong (and growing a rabid following) for over three years now, we’ve only had a singular comic book villain solicited for the line in all that time: two versions of the Red Skull. But Mezco Toyz is bringing on a bad guy for their latest pre-order, as the Master of Magnetism they debuted a prototype of over 10 months ago is finally officially on the way: the ONE:12 Collective Magneto figure is now up for order!

If this doesn’t sell out within a few hours, I will be truly shocked! Who’s in for what may end up being the most hyped MCU statue ever?

With the embargo lifted off of Avengers Endgame spoilers, we’re beginning to see the full force of movie merch solicitations finally starting to pour in. And perhaps the company most capitalizing on the rollout is a surprise—Iron Studios! After the expansive series of a dozen-plus Infinity War statues they released last year, I wasn’t sure we’d see a repeat performance of that magnitude—but the Iron Studios Endgame Rescue, Scarlet Witch, Star-Lord and Doctor Strange BDS statues are all up for order now—with many more characters to come!

New York Toy Fair is such an immense spectacle of toy reveals and announcements that it’s veritably impossible to cover everything that premieres at the event.

If you never thought you’d be interested in a soft vinyl figure, this just might change your mindset…

Mezco Toyz had two trump cards up their sleeve at New York Toy Fair 2019, where they quietly snuck two unannounced Marvel ONE:12 Collective figures into their product catalog. One of the two was Gambit, and the other is Khonshu’s Fist himself, Marc Spector! Mezco has had squat to say about either of those characters since Toy Fair, but today we get the full details and a variety of official photos of one of them—because the ONE:12 Collective Moon Knight 6” figure is now up for order! Is this the definitive 6” Moon Knight?

When Diamond Select Toys announced their acquisition of Gentle Giant Ltd. a few months back, it left the fates of a number of popular Gentle Giant lines open-ended. I feared for the future of my favorite ongoing series of Skottie Young-inspired mini-statues, but us Marvel Babies fans can all breathe a sigh of relief: the line is continuing, and a Marvel Animated Captain Marvel Statue with huge price reduction and edition size cut is now up for order! And that’s not all for Carol fans—there’s a Premier Collection Captain Marvel resin statue as well!

Competition is fast and furious in the world of Marvel statues, but there’s one company who stood above all the rest when it came to resin statues for Infinity War: Iron Studios, who produced well over a dozen pieces for the movie in their value-priced 1:10 scale Battle Diorama Series! And it looks like they’re at it again for Avengers Endgame, as their first 3 statues for the movie are now up for order: Armored Thanos (in two flavors!) and the first-ever Nebula and Ronin statues!

Many collectors of the Bandai Tamashii S.H. Figuarts like awoke today to some rather disappointing news: the Bandai SH Figuarts Avengers Endgame figures had launched overnight on all of the usual import sites–and promptly sold out from most of them! While certain figures like Ronin and Black Widow have remained available here and there on various sites, one figure predictably sold out instantaneously across all of them. Luckily, he’s getting a U.S. release for a reasonable price: the SH Figuarts Endgame Thanos figure is now up for order online in the US!

Medicom had a big surprise for X-Men collectors last month prior to New York Toy Fair 2019, when they unexpectedly debuted a Jim Lee Cyclops MAFEX 6” figure at the Winter Wonder Fest in Japan. We hadn’t heard or seen any new updates about that prototype in over a month, but the blackbird has landed today: the Medicom MAFEX Cyclops Figure has now been fully revealed and is up for order! And this version will definitely be giving Hasbro’s a run for its money…

Earlier this week I talked about two mega-ton reveals that Mezco Toyz announced at New York Toy Fair 2019 and didn’t show (ONE:12 Collective Moon Knight and Gambit), but there’s still one figure that they did show at NYTF I need to talk about and post my hi-res photos of. And weirdly enough, it just so happens Mezco has officially solicited that figure today: the ONE:12 Collective Captain Marvel figure is now up for order! And with a portrait like that—look out Hot Toys!
