Sideshow Collectibles Sentinel Statue Maquette

I was pretty lucky during the first ten days of Sideshow Collectibles’ Online Comic Con 2014 event. And by “lucky”, I mean that Sideshow didn’t put up a single item that I was going to be dropping hundreds of dollars on. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending upon your point of view), Sideshow hit the jackpot today with my wallet. Not only did Sideshow put the Hot Toys Bones Iron Man I’ve been lusting after for a year up for sale, but the humongous, long-awaited 32″ Sideshow Sentinel Maquette Statue is now up for order!

Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Bones Armor Sixth Scale Figure

Marvel Toy News readers have had to hear me cry and moan for a year that I was certain my favorite Iron Man 3 House Party Protocol Iron Man armor was never going to be produced as a Hot Toys sixth scale figure. Well, as is wont to happen sometimes–I was wrong. Overnight, a brand new and totally unexpected new Movie Masterpiece Series figure made its debut online, and now it’s time to get out our credit cards out–the Hot Toys Bones Iron Man Mark XLI sixth scale figure is now up for order!

Deadpool Mr. Potato Head SDCC 2014 Exclusive Revealed!

Deadpool Mr. Potato Head SDCC 2014 Exclusive Toy

A couple days ago I declared that the Mighty Muggs Rom Space Knight figure was the most out-of-left-field exclusive for this month’s San Diego Comic Con 2014. Well, I stand by that original assessment.

But if there was a prize for second most out-of-left-field SDCC 2014 exclusive, it would probably go to UCC Distributing for an exclusive they’re partnered up with Marvel and Hasbro for. He’s cosplayed as Hulk, Wolverine, Thor, Captain America and Spider-Man–and this month you’ll be able to get your own 2014 SDCC Exclusive Deadpool Mr. Potato Head: Dead Peel!

Exclusive SDCC 2014 Rocket Raccoon Mini Bust Revealed!

SDCC 2014 Exclusive Rocket Raccoon Mini Bust

I genuinely thought that there was a chance I was going to get away scot-free without having to buy any of this year’s Gentle Giant San Diego Comic Con 2014 exclusives. I’m okay living without a mini bust of the Rebel Alliance’s resident butterball, Jek Porkins, and I need a two foot tall, $500 neon green, glow-in-the-dark Aliens figure even less. But then Gentle Giant had to go and do it. They had to make their Marvel exclusive something that I absolutely cannot live without.

He’s about to take the world by storm and become more popular than Spider-Man and Wolverine combined, so this exclusive is gonna be hot: the SDCC 2014 Rocket Raccoon Mini Bust has now been revealed!

Hasbro SDCC 2014 Exclusive Rom Space Knight Mighty Muggs!

SDCC 2014 Mighty Muggs ROM The Space Knight Figure Hasbro

As far as unexpected, totally out-of-left-field exclusives go, Hasbro has just won San Diego Comic-Con 2014. Hands down. Unless you’ve been reading comics for three and a half decades (or grew up making semi-daily trips to the comic book store and buying old issues out of the bargain bins like me), you probably don’t have any clue who ROM The Space Knight even is. The robot form of ROM Space Knight hasn’t appeared in Marvel Comics in almost thirty years. But this month, ROM is back (sort of)–a Hasbro SDCC 2014 Exclusive ROM Space Knight Mighty Muggs figure is coming our way!

Bowen Designs Mojo Statue Released & Photos! End of an Era?

Bowen Designs Mojo Statue Released Close-Up

And then there were none. I’ve been counting down the remaining Bowen Designs statues left to be released since winter, and to my dismay, no new contract between Marvel and Bowen Designs has been signed despite the dwindling number of Bowen Marvel statues left to be released. And now? Now that number is down to zero.

The era of Marvel Bowen Designs statues may be over–but if it is, Bowen Designs is going out on a high note: the exclusive Bowen Mojo statue has now been released and is available for order online!

Flocked Rocket Raccoon Funko POP Vinyl San Diego Comic Con 2014 Exclusive Figure

It looks like it may turn out to be a pretty light year for Funko Marvel POP! Vinyl collectors as far as 2014 San Diego Comic-Con exclusives go! While last year we had a multitude of SDCC Marvel POP! Vinyl exclusives released by Funko (including Unmasked Iron Patriot & Iron Man, Metallic Red Hulk, Metallic Ghost Rider and Metallic Deadpool), this year it looks like we’ll be enjoying one and only one 2014 SDCC Marvel POP Vinyls exclusive. Luckily, it just so happens to be my very favorite Marvel character: the SDCC 2014 Flocked Rocket Raccoon POP! Vinyl has now been revealed!

Funko SDCC 2014 Marvel Mystery Minis Exclusives Revealed!

Posted on by July 3, 2014
Funko SDCC 2014 Exclusive Marvel Mystery Minis Series

Although we’ve been waiting for Marvel to officially announce the Funko Marvel SDCC 2014 exclusives, I surmised instantly what they were going to be based off of the vague hints that Funko posted many weeks ago. One of the hints indicated there would be a San Diego Comic Con 2014 exclusive Marvel Mystery Minis set of twelve figures–and lo and behold, that’s exactly what it is! But while most Funko Comic Con exclusives turn out to be straight-up repaints, Funko has surprised us by including some brand new molds unexpectedly as part of the 2014 SDCC Exclusive set!

Marvel Select Falcon Movie Figure Released & Photos!

Marvel Select The Falcon Figure Packaged Captain America The Winter Soldier

They say that good things come to those who wait. And if you were a fan of the movie version of The Falcon in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” in the spring, you’ve definitely had to wait for a quality action figure to be released. Hasbro missed the boat with no Marvel Legends Falcon figure and a mediocre 4″ Falcon, and the Hot Toys Falcon won’t be released until 2015. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel–an outstanding rendition of Anothony Mackie as the Falcon has now come home! The Marvel Select Falcon figure has now been released and is for sale online and in stores!

SDCC 2014 Exclusive Kotobukiya Grey Hulk ARTFX+ Statue

Just because we’re only three weeks away from San Diego Comic Con 2014 doesn’t mean that every company has played all its cards already as far as Marvel SDCC 2014 exclusives go!

Marvel Funko Fabrikations Deadpool Review & Photos

Funko Fabrikations Deadpool Review

Some people think I’m joking when I talk about Funko being bent on world domination of the collectibles market, but I am dead serious. The sheer number of figures that Funko releases each year for various licensees is nothing short of awe-inspiring. And in summer 2014, Funko is launching another new branch of collectible figures: Funko Fabrikations! I was a bit dubious of these fabric-covered figures, but I ordered the Funko Marvel Fabrikations Deadpool for $17 shipped online anyway. I’m so very glad I did–the Funko Deadpool Fabrikations figure is one of my favorite Marvel toys of 2014…

June 2014 must just be a month for Marvel miracles! First the 6″ Marvel Legends Agent Venom figure that many (including me) legitimately thought would never be released by Hasbro was confirmed (as a Walgreens exclusive, no less), and now the fabled Japanese Amazing Spider-Man 2 Movie Premiere Funko Metallic Spider-Man POP! Vinyl figures have finally appeared for sale online! But if you want one, well… you might end up paying as much for this vinyl figure as you would for a Marvel Hot Toys sixth scale figure…

Sideshow Collectibles Dr. Doom Premium Format Figure Statue Revealed

The once-legendary Dr. Doom’s star has fallen a lot in recent years. Oft considered the greatest Marvel villain, Dr. Doom has been surpassed in the public’s eyes by characters such as Loki, Magneto and Thanos receiving more attention in modern movies and comic storylines. Even so, Dr. Doom is an all-time-great supervillain and beloved by hardcore comic book fans the world over. And that’s why he’ll also be Sideshow’s next major villain sculpture released–the Sideshow Exclusive Dr. Doom Premium Format Figure statue is now up for order!
