Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends Drax Figure Prototype

I was a Guardians of the Galaxy fan before the Guardians of the Galaxy were cool. Well, actually, I’m not sure that the Guardians of the Galaxy are even “cool” now, but they’re at least poised to become recognizable mainstream superheroes due to this year’s upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Anyway, the point is that I’m a huge Guardians of the Galaxy fanboy. So it is with a ton of excitement and pleasure that I get to show off the first production photos of the actual 6″ Hasbro Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy figures, beginning with Drax the Destroyer!

Revoltech Midas Iron Man Mark XXI Figure Announced & Photos

Iron Man 3 Revoltech Midas Iron Man Figure Poster

At this point, I’ve come to realize that virtually every company that’s ever made a sculpt for the Iron Man Mark VII armor is going to do a money-grab by repainting that item gold and calling it Midas Iron Man. Don’t fight it–just accept it.

And the latest company to cash in on their old Revoltech Iron Man Mark VII figure sculpt is Kaiyodo! Coming this fall–the Revoltech Iron Man Mark XXI figure is now up for order!

Hot Toys Falcon Figure Fully Revealed Photos & Order Info

Hot Toys Captain America The Winter Soldier Falcon Figure MMS 245

While it initially looked like The Falcon was going to get a bit of a bum deal when it came to Captain America The Winter Soldier toys, things have turned out pretty smashing for ol’ Sam Wilson in the end. While a Marvel Legends Falcon figure doesn’t seem to be in the cards, there’s an outstanding Marvel Select Falcon figure, a fun Marvel Minimates Falcon, and even a halfway decent 4″ Falcon Hasbro figure. But now the crown jewel of any Falcon collection has been fully revealed and is ready to claim its rightful spot atop the mountain–the Hot Toys Falcon figure is now up for order!

Bowen Designs Hela Statue Released & Photos!

Bowen Designs Hela Full-Size Statue

Some characters get more merch than others, whereas some characters only get merch on a cold day in Hel. And no, that’s not a type-o, as today I’m referring to the Asgardian ruler of Niffleheim and Hel itself: Hela! I’ve been both anticipating and dreading the release of the Bowen Designs Hela statue, as its arrival would mean that there was only one more Bowen Marvel statue on the way (perhaps forever). The day has come, though, and while the potential end of the Marvel Bowen Designs line still makes me nervous, the Bowen Hela statue is one glorious piece…

SH Figuarts Iron Patriot Figure Bandai 2014

As a big anime fan and anime figure collector, the annual Bandai Tamashii Nations collector events are some of my favorite occasions to look forward to. Usually I’m looking forward to these shows for news on Gundam or One Piece or Dragon Ball Z, but the last few years Bandai has also had a slight Marvel presence. And at this weekend’s Bandai Tamshii Nations Summer 2014 Collection event, they finally debuted their first two figures from Iron Man 3: the SH Figuarts Iron Patriot and Iron Man Mark 42 figures!

Marvel Infinite Series Wave 4 Announced with Ionic Wonder Man Figure Hasbro 2014

After getting off to an extremely slow start (as in “I’ve yet to even see one figure in a physical retail store”), Hasbro is apparently getting ready to give a major push to their 4″ Marvel Infinite Series figures line, the 2014 Marvel Universe successor. Just this past week we got our first glimpse of Marvel Infinite Series Wave 3, and now Marvel Infinite Series Wave 4 is already announced and up for pre-order! Don’t get too excited, though. Hasbro Marvel Infinite Series Wave 4 sounds pretty uninspired–to say the least…

Funko SDCC 2014 Flocked Rocket Raccoon POP Vinyl Figure

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year, but we’re a scant two months away from San Diego Comic Con 2014, and the march toward the biggest Comic-Con of the year is beginning now in full force! And if there’s one company that knows how to fully exploit collectors at SDCC each year, it’s Funko.

X-Men Marvel Legends 2014 Figures Jubilee Build-A-Figure Series

Well, this is certainly a first. For what has got to be one of the oddest reveals in Hasbro Marvel Legends action figures history, we’ve learned of a new Marvel Legends 2014 assortment of figures… from a Japanese magazine. No, really.

A hi-res photo has surfaced that gives us the goods on five all-new, never-before-seen X-Men Marvel Legends 2014 figures, as well as what appears to be confirmation that this set will come along with… the long-lost Marvel Legends Jubilee Build-A-Figure!

Avengers Marvel Infinite Series Wave 3 Figures Set Hasbro

A couple weeks back Hasbro let retailers know the contents of this summer’s Marvel Infinite Series Wave 3 assortment so that stores could start taking Marvel Infinite Series 3 figure pre-orders. But while we knew what characters made up the series, we had to give our best guesses as to what the actual figures were going to look like as far as era, costume, and so forth. But now we wait no longer! Hasbro has released hi-res, packaged images of all six figures in Marvel Infinite Series Wave 3, including Valkyrie, Ant Man, Cyclops and more!

Daredevil Premium Format Figure Statue Close-Up of Portrait

When it comes to the sheer amount of high-end collectibles being released for a brand, it looks like Marvel is the new Star Wars! The number of statues, sixth scale figures and other high-end products being released in 2014 is truly staggering, and Sideshow Collectibles has become increasingly ruthless this year. Along with thousands of dollars worth of other “must have” Sideshow Marvel statues, Sideshow has another major release on the way: the Sideshow Daredevil Premium Format Figure statue is now up for order!

Hasbro Marvel Infinite Series Starfox Figure SDCC 2014

It’s been a tad slow around here lately, but today we’ve got some news to report from the most bizarre of places: a Chinese auction site! Yes, Taobao, the much-beloved auction site preferred by many sellers with stolen factory products, has uncovered two previously-unannounced possible SDCC 2014 exclusive Hasbro Marvel Universe 2014 Marvel Infinite Series figures: Starfox and Nebula!

Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Series 2 Busts Revealed & Photos

Posted on by May 8, 2014
Iron Man Hot Toys Busts Series II Set of 8 with exclusive Holographic Mark 42 Iron Man

It seems like everything that Hot Toys produces turns to gold, but even the best companies have a dud sometimes. I was certain the Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Busts Series 1 set was going to flop with the mini-bust market being all but dead in 2014.

To my amazement, not only is the bust line continuing, but I like the second series a whole lot more than the first! Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Busts Series 2 is now up for order!

Marvel Minimates Carnage Sandman Lizard Doc Ock Deadly Foes Set

At last week’s C2E2 2014, Diamond Select Toys did a surprise reveal of their Marvel Select X-Men Days of Future Past Mystique figure to much fanfare. But while Mystique grabbed all of the headlines and glory, she wasn’t the only new item that DST debuted at C2E2. No, at the show Diamond Select unveiled yet another in a huge string of recents Marvel Minimates announcements–but this one’s a good one! Coming in September 2014–the Deadly Foes of Spider-Man Minimates set! But if you want the first Minimates Carnage in over a decade, there’ll only be one store to get it from…
