Movie Promo Stealth Iron Man Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron Figure

After Iron Man 3 came out and introduced 36 new Iron Man armor permutations, it seemed like Hot Toys might not have to ever think up a non-canonical movie design for Iron Man ever again. But whether it was necessary to do so or not, that’s just what Hot Toys has done again: the Avengers Age of Ultron limited exclusive Hot Toys Movie Promo Stealth Iron Man Mark VII figure is now up for order!

UPDATE: After five hours up for sale, Stealth Iron Man is now SOLD OUT! If you want him and didn’t order yet, now is the time to get on the Wait List!

Marvel Vinylmation Red Hulk & Red She-Hulk Figures!

Posted on by March 27, 2015
Disney Vinylmation Red Hulk Figure

The days of Disney Vinylmation collecting may be coming to an end. Disney has virtually eliminated all trading at the Disney Parks, and the number of series and limited-edition sets coming out this year is a meager fraction of what we’ve seen in past years. But one Vinylmation series that still seems to be strong and fervently-collected is the Vinylmation Marvel series! And before the Vinylmation Avengers series hits this summer, Disney has a surprise LE set lined up for us next month: Vinylmation Red Hulk and Red She-Hulk!

Sideshow Exclusive J. Scott Campbell Black Cat Statue Pre-Order!

Sideshow Black Cat Statue Exclusive Edition Pre-Order

As far as I’m concerned, Peter Parker’s OTP is with Gwen Stacy. But if Gwen were to be dead (and she usually is), then I would have no problem getting together with my next-favorite Spider-Man related female: Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat. Sideshow’s latest Black Cat statue has been a long time coming (as in “Sideshow teased it both to kick off 2015 and to kick off 2014″), but today is the day that collectors can secure her coming to their homes: the Sideshow Exclusive J. Scott Campbell Black Cat statue is now up for order!

Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron Hawkeye Close-Up

If you’re a Hot Toys collector that’s missing one Marvel Cinematic Universe character that you just haven’t been able to afford, then the Avenger you’re most likely lacking is Hawkeye. The Hot Toys Avengers Hawkeye figure was the first of the Avengers movie figures to go up for sale, and the demand turned out to be far greater than the quantity produced.

Hot Topic Exclusive Funko Hikari Life Force Groot Figure

When I first saw the unannounced Funko Hikari Groot variants debut five months ago at New York Comic Con 2015, I knew I was destined to one day have a green Groot Hikari vinyl Sofubi figure of my very own. It’s been a reasonably long wait, but the Hot Topic Exclusive Funko Regeneration Groot Hikari finally turned up for sale online this month!

Now that I’ve got him in my hands, is this very unique Hikari Groot Vinyl figure everything I dreamed he would be…?

Kotobukiya Deadpool & Headpool ARTFX+ Statue Variant Revealed!

Kotobukiya Deadpool Headpool ARTFX+ Statue Variant Revealed

When Kotobukiya revealed their ARTFX+ Deadpool statue last year, it became the first “standalone” Marvel ARTFX+ statue, as it isn’t part of the Marvel NOW! Avengers or X-Men lineups. Of course, Kotobukiya might as well have just called this the “Deadpool Series”, because the third version of this Kotobukiya Deadpool ARTFX+ statue has now been revealed: Partially Unmasked Deadpool with Headpool!

Marvel Legends Spider-Girl Review & Photos

If anyone had asked me to list off 100 characters I thought might get the Hasbro Marvel Legends treatment in 2015, May “Mayday” Parker would not have been on that list. But Hasbro has made some pleasantly surprising choices in 2015, and I sure am glad that they did!

The Spider-Man Marvel Legends Spider-Girl is now appearing in stores and shipping next week from Amazon–is she your worth your $20-$25? Read on…

MMS 288 Black Widow Hot Toys Age of Ultron Avengers Figure

While Marvel’s eventual plan may be for Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) to become the iconic woman in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there’s no question that–as of now–the Scarlett Johansson Black Widow is the breakout female character of the MCU. And with her fourth movie appearance coming up this summer in “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, Black Widow is also about to get her fourth Hot Toys figure! With an absolutely loaded arsenal, the MMS288 Hot Toys Black Widow figure is now up for order!

Funko Phasing Vision POP Vinyls Variant Figure Revealed!

Phasing Vision Funko POP Vinyls Figure

When the listings for the Avengers Age of Ultron Funko POP Vinyls figures leaked out late last year, there was one name on the list that caught my eye: “Faded Vision”.

Images of Vision figures that had spent too long in the sun and had their paint fade to nothing flashed before my eyes, but I should have known the name was a misnomer: the Funko Phasing Vision POP Vinyls figure has now been revealed!

Hasbro 4″ Scarlet Witch Age of Ultron Movie Figure Revealed!

Hasbro Avengers Age of Ultron Wave 2 4 Inch Figures Scarlet Witch

Of all the various Avengers Age of Ultron toy lines out there, the sole one that I immediately wrote off as being junk was the Hasbro 4″ Avengers Age of Ultron figures. With the line’s wonky paint deco and five points of articulation, I genuinely thought that Hasbro had zero plans for this line that would get collectors excited. I was wrong. Coming soon to Avengers Age of Ultron 4″: Scarlet Witch, Ultron 2.0 and Iron Legion figures!

Marvel Mashers Ultimate Avengers Set! Stealth Iron Man!

Marvel Super Hero Mashers Ultimate Avengers Set Released

I know that there’s no way that I can one-up the unbridled excitement that yesterday’s discussion of this year’s Marvel Candy Bowls drummed up, so I’m not even going to try to match that high mark today. No, instead I’m going to talk about something a little more mass-market today. Hasbro has been pleased with the performance of its Marvel Super Hero Mashers toy line over the past year, and in honor of the Avengers Age of Ultron movie, they’re giving us one of the most loaded sets yet: the Marvel Mashers Ultimate Avengers Set with Stealth Iron Man and Captain America figures!

Marvel Candy Bowl Holders! Rocket Raccoon Venom Thor!

Rocket Raccoon Candy Bowl Holder

I mentioned in my review of the Jubilee Bishoujo statue yesterday that there was a first time for everything. Well, I guess today it’s time for another first, because I’m going to be discussing something that can probably only be considered a “toy” at all by the barest of margins. The latest Marvel statues (of a sort) come from Rubie’s Costume Company–and they actually serve a functional purpose! The Rocket Raccoon, Thor and Venom Candy Bowl Holders are now up for order!

Kotobukiya Jubilee Bishoujo Statue Review & Photos

When it comes to the Kotobukiya line of Bishoujo statues, I’m one of the harshest critics out there. As much as I love most of Kotobukiya’s offerings, I often find their Bishoujo statues (such as Starfire and Spider-Woman) to be posed both demeaning and objectifying. There’s a first time for everything, though, and tonight I’ll be raving about the Kotobukiya Jubilee Bishoujo statue. Bishoujo Jubilee is available now for 20% off and free shipping online–Should you buy her…? Does a mall babe eat chili fries?
