Way back in February, Hasbro unexpectedly revealed their line of Marvel Legends Premium Role-Play Prop Replicas, including a super-cool life-size Captain America Shield and Iron Man helmet. Many fans cried foul, though, desiring a genuine metal version of Cap’s shield instead of a high-quality plastic version. And to my surprise, Hasbro has heard and obliged–the Marvel Legends Metal Captain America Shield is now up for order! But it will cost you…

I started off my reviews of the 2016 Marvel Legends X-Men figures with a figure that I thought wasn’t getting the limelight it deserved–Phoenix–and today, I’m going to continue with another underrated six-inch figure.
To my surprise, the Marvel Legends Cable figure is still available for order online individually. But it’s not because of any fault of this figure–the X-Men Legends Cable 6″ figure is one of Hasbro’s best figures this year!

When I reached out to readers and asked which of the new X-Men Legends figures I should review first, I expected a cacophony of Deadpool requests–and predictably, there were. But to my surprise, an almost equal number of readers asked to hear about the new Marvel Legends Phoenix figure that’s still available for order online! We’ve had several 6″ Jean Grey figures before–is it worth adding this latest version of the greatest psychic mutant ever in the Marvel Universe to your collections? Read on…

San Diego Comic-Con 2016 begins in one week and one day, but believe it or not, there are still new exclusives being announced each day! And today’s SDCC exclusive Marvel announcement is one that comes totally out of left field. This year’s “Captain America Hydra Sleeper” plot twist is the most controversial plot twist in the Marvel Universe in ages, and the first-ever action figure of Hydra Captain America is coming our way in an unexpected form: the SDCC 2016 Exclusive LEGO Hydra Captain America minifigure!

I always root for toy manufacturers to be able to keep their con exclusives under wraps until they’re ready to unveil them, but sometimes that’s just not to be. Such was the case with this year’s Hasbro Marvel Legends SDCC sets. But even though we’ve known the contents for several weeks, it’s still exciting that Hasbro has finally released hi-res photos officially confirming the Marvel Legends The Raft and The Collector’s Vault sets!

You’ve seen dozens of the Marvel Legends Civil War Spider-Man movie figure prototype photos and in-hand photos right here on Marvel Toy News, and read my impressions all along the way. But now, at the risk of burning you all out on this movie Spider-Man toy, it’s time for my own photos and full review of the Civil War Marvel Legends Spider-Man figure! The Marvel Legends Spider-Man 3 Pack is available exclusively from EE until August–should you get one?

San Diego Comic-Con 2016 is fast approaching, and while Hot Toys doesn’t bring any exclusives with them to the show, their Summer Toy Fairs Exclusives are always available for order prior to it.
And as has been the case for the last few years, this year’s limited exclusive will be an Iron Man 3 House Party Protocol armor–and this time, it’s my favorite remaining armor: the exclusive Hot Toys Disco Iron Man figure is now up for order!

Even with SDCC 2016 looming, the King of Exclusives–Funko–never slows down on any front! And so, last night Funko sent out an E-Mail to Marvel Collector Corps Founders (those who signed up for a one-year subscription to MCC before the first box and have remained active members) announcing a big surprise: the biggest Collector Corps box ever (with the same cost as five smaller Funko MCC boxes)! Read on for my thoughts and the known details on the Funko Marvel Collector Corps Year One Super Box that goes up for order today…

It looks like old saying that goes “good things come to those that wait” is about the be proven once again. The Diamond Select Toys Captain America Civil War Marvel Select figures were announced and put up for pre-order in the winter and revealed at New York Toy Fair 2016 in February. It’s been a long five months since that’s included the movie coming (and going) in theaters, but the time is now upon us: the Marvel Select Civil War figures are expected to ship later this month and DST has now shared packaged photos!

The wait is almost over, and the biggest comic book and collectibles event of 2016 is almost here: San Diego Comic-Con 2016 begins just two weeks from tomorrow! At this point, we’ve known most of the exclusive for the event for at least a week… but not all of them! Gentle Giant Ltd. had been holding their cards pretty close to their vest, but their trio of Marvel SDCC 2016 Exclusives now stands revealed: an Animated Rocket Raccoon statue, a Secret Wars Spider-Gwen Micro-Bobbles, and… some crazy-colored Deadpools including neon green Deadpool?!

And so, since many fans seem to have an insatiable appetite for hearing more about this wave, today let’s take a look at some in-hand photos and impressions of the new Marvel Legends Iceman and Juggernaut Build-A-Figure…

There’s no question about it: the Hasbro Marvel Legends 6″ figure line is the single hottest Marvel toy line in existence today. But even amongst this sales juggernaut’s selections, there are figures more hyped and anticipated than almost any others. And one of them happens to be the first-released articulated MCU Spider-Man action figure ever! The Marvel Legends Civil War 3-Pack Spider-Man has now been released, and we can see in these photos that the hype was warranted!

Despite the fact that Marvel has become one of the hottest brands on the planet, Funko has only created a handful of San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Marvel POP Vinyls figures for the last few years of the event. But 2016 is going to be different! Though they haven’t quite finished unveiled all of their goodies for the show just yet, Funko has already revealed four Marvel SDCC 2016 exclusive POP Vinyls (and a quartet of Dorbz)!

I am not a quarter-scale figure collector. With the sheer number of toys and collectibles I buy each year, I discovered that if I buy a lot of 1/4 scale figures, I quickly begin to run out of space. But there are exceptions to every rule, and I’m about to have to make one. If there’s one Iron Man armor permutation I have a serious soft spot for, it’s the derpy Mark XLII armor from Iron Man 3. And now, it’s coming to quarter-scale in high-end figure form: the Hot Toys 1/4 Iron Man Mark 42 figure goes up for order today!
