Hot Toys Hulk Avengers Age of Ultron Figure

Hot Toys surprised me overnight when they released the official images for not one, but two versions of the new Avengers Age of Ultron Hulk sixth scale figure! For those with extra money to burn, there’s a deluxe version with an extra head and an extra interchangeable torso. But for those who don’t care about those bonuses–and don’t have a ton of extra money to shell out–Hot Toys has you covered too! The regular version of the Avengers Age of Ultron Hot Toys Hulk figure is now up for order!

Play Arts Kai Spider-Man Figure New York Toy Fair 2015

Over the weekend I discussed the two new Marvel Play Arts Kai figures I wasn’t expecting to see revealed at the New York Toy Fair 2015–Play Arts Thor and Venom–but I haven’t stopped to chat about the new figure that I was expecting to see.

The second figure in the Play Arts Kai Marvel figure line was on display at the 2015 Toy Fair for the very first time: the Play Arts Kai Spider-Man figure!

While Hasbro Marvel Legends reigns supreme as the best 6″ Marvel figure line in the United States, Hasbro has much tougher competition if you broaden your search to international figures. And when it comes to 1/12 action figures (6″ scale), there’s no greater competition than with Bandai SH Figuarts!

Although Bandai previously stuck to Iron Man figures, this year, they’re expanding with a series of SH Figuarts Avengers Age of Ultron figures…

New York Toy Fair 2015 Dorbz Marvel Figures

As we counted down the days to New York Toy Fair 2015, Funko started posting mysterious teaser images for Marvel vinyls labeled as “Vinyl Sugar Dorbz”. I had a hunch regarding exactly what this new imprint was, and at the 2015 Toy Fair Funko confirmed my suspicions.

A new line of 3″ vinyl Marvel figures is coming this year–and it’s kicking off with twenty-three 3″ Vinyl Sugar Dorbz Marvel and Guardians of the Galaxy figures and two XL Dorbz!

Marvel Play Arts Kai Thor & Venom Figures Revealed!

2015 New York Toy Fair Marvel Play Arts Kai Thor Figure

Going into last week’s New York Toy Fair 2015, I thought we’d be lucky if Square-Enix just brought along a prototype of the second Marvel Play Arts Kai figure: Spider-Man.

But I underestimated Square-Enix. Not only did they have the finished Spidey on display at their booth, but also the third action figure in the lineup, Play Arts Kai Thor, and even concept art for the fourth figure: Play Arts Kai Venom!

New York Toy Fair 2015: Funko Marvel Mopeez Plush Photos!

Funko Marvel Mopeez Series 1 Case

Among the eleven-billion new products that Funko brought to show off at New York Toy Fair 2015, there was one line that came as a real surprise to me. While Funko has gotten into the plush figure business before with their Funko Fabrikations soft sculptures, I don’t recall Funko ever doing stylized, angry stuffed toys before–and certainly not Marvel ones. But there’s a first time for everything, and at New York Toy Fair 2015, we got our first look at the Funko Marvel Mopeez plush toys that are now up for order!

Toy Fair 2015: Marvel Mashers Carnage Nova Rocket Ant-Man & More!

Marvel Mashers Carnage Figure

I swear I never intended for it to happen, but I developed a genuine affinity to the kid-aimed Marvel Super Hero Mashers line of action figures last year. And while the line has been, uh, “less” warmly received by collectors than it has been by children, it’s turned out to be a solid seller at retail stores. So while Marvel Mashers aren’t the apple of every Marvel fan’s eye, the line will be continuing with plenty of new and popular characters this year. And at the New York Toy Fair 2015 over the weekend, Hasbro revealed the 2015 Marvel Mashers Carnage, Nova, Ant-Man, Rocket Raccoon and more!

Funko Fabrikations Groot & Baymax at New York Toy Fair 2015!

Funko Guardians of the Galaxy Groot Fabrikation

While Funko only had a whopping two new Marvel POP! Vinyls to debut at New York Toy Fair 2015 over the weekend, that’s not to say that Marvel was underrepresented–at all. In fact one of the smallest Funko imprints premiered two all-new, previously unannounced figures at the show that are coming this spring: Funko Fabrikations Groot from “Guardians of the Galaxy” and Baymax from “Big Hero 6” are now up for order!

New York Toy Fair 2015 Funko Deadpool Chimichanga POP Rides Set

When I heard that a Funko POP! Rides Deadpool Chimichanga Truck set was in the works earlier this winter, I would have written it off as a ridiculous rumor if it hadn’t come from the president of Funko himself. Even so, my mind was still having a hard time grasping the concept of this vehicle–right up until I walked into the New York Comic Con 2015 Funko booth, where I was finally able to grasp the hilarity of this new Funko Deadpool toy…

UPDATE 2/17/2015: The Funko Deadpool Chimichanga Truck is now up for order!

Toy Fair 2015: Marvel Legends Ant-Man Series! Ultron Prime BAF!

Marvel Legends Ultron Prime Build-A-Figure Ant-Man Marvel Legends Series

For months, rumors have circulated about possible Marvel Legends Ant-Man figures. While it was initially unknown if the Target listing for Marvel Legends Ant-Man referred to a singular figure or an entire series, Amazon accidentally leaked the identities of the six figures that might make up the wave a few weeks ago. But after New York Toy Fair 2015, Hasbro has played all their cards, confirming the six figures we thought were coming–and a Build-A-Figure we totally did not! Coming this summer: the Marvel Legends Ant-Man Infinite Series with Ultron Prime Build-A-Figure!

New York Toy Fair 2015 Funko Hikari Hulk and Iron Man Revealed

I have developed a new Marvel collecting problem over the last year, and that problem is called Funko Hikari. See, Funko charges $80 each for their Hikari Sofubi vinyls; Hikaris take up a ton of space, and Funko releases a half-dozen colorways of every mold. And I’ve bought all the Marvel ones so far. All of them. So at New York Toy Fair 2015, my heart soared–and my wallet cried–when the Funko Hikari Hulk and Iron Man figures were revealed!

Toy Fair 2015 Marvel Select Black Widow Figure

While they may not have made every character from each movie that they’ve appeared in, Diamond Select Toys has released all of the core movie Avengers members as Marvel Select figures at least once. All of them–except one. But no longer! The Avengers Age of Ultron Marvel Select Black Widow is coming to stores this summer, and I got to see and photograph her up-close at the Diamond Select Toys booth to kick off New York Toy Fair 2015 Day Two!

Hasbro may have left Star Wars collectors out to dry at New York Toy Fair 2015 (with nary a new figure to be found in the land!), but they seriously brought the goods this year for Marvel collectors!

Along with the two exclusive Marvel Legends multi-packs that were revealed, Hasbro showed off three full waves of previously unannounced Marvel Legends 2015 figures. And the biggest surprise of them all was the Marvel Legends Spider-Man Wave 2–with Marvel Legends Rhino Build-A-Figure!

Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 3! Hulkbuster Build-A-Figure!

Avengers Marvel Legends Hulkbuster Iron Man Build-A-Figure

Remember when computer listings appeared for a mysterious wave of Marvel Legends figures that some speculated would be a Barnes and Noble exclusive, and I asserted that that would be utterly ridiculous? Yeah–I was right. Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 3, as I thought, is another mass-release Marvel Legends 2015 figures set. But you know what’s even better than me being right…? If you said “a giant 9″ tall Hulkbuster Iron Man Build-A-Figure”, you’re right!

Marvel Legends Avengers Amazon Exclusive Black Widow Figure

Did you think that Hasbro was going to just release “The Big Three” (Hulk, Captain America and Iron Man Mark 43) as their sole Avengers: Age of Ultron Marvel Legends movie figures? …Well, I sure did! But–surprise! As it turns out, Hasbro actually does has plans to get “new” figures of the rest of the movie Avengers Marvel Legends figures out at retail and into collectors’ hands–as an Amazon exclusive! Coming to Amazon later this year–a Marvel Legends Avengers 4-Pack of Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor and Bruce Banner!
