Hot Toys Bruce Banner and Hot Toys Hulk Premium Set

News hit the street on Thanksgiving Day last week that Hot Toys was bringing back the highly-desirable Hot Toys Hulk figure in a special set with the all-new Hot Toys Bruce Banner sixth scale figure. We had to wait a week to get confirmation that this duo would be making their way to the United States, but the long-awaited Bruce Banner Hot Toys figure (and The Other Guy!) are now up for pre-order! Yep, this is really gonna tee off some of the people who paid $400+ for just the Hulk Hot Toys figure on the secondary market…

Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Midas Mark XXXI Armor Limited Exclusive Figure

I am not exaggerating at all when I say that I get someone messaging me almost every single day asking me if I have any insider info on when and if Sideshow Collectibles will be selling the hotly-anticipated exclusive Hot Toys Midas Iron Man 1/6 figure. The answer is always the same, which is that I don’t have any insider info (ever). Luckily, that won’t be an issue anymore– the 1/6 Midas Iron Man Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece figure IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ORDER! If you want him, go get him NOW–Sideshow has said quantities are highly limited and he will sell out quickly!

Captain America Kotobukiya Avengers NOW ArtFX+ Statue Preview!

Kotobukiya Marvel NOW Captain America ARTFX+ Statue

Now that the holidays are at an end (at least for a couple weeks), I’ve got a chance to step back and discuss some news items I didn’t have time to talk about during Thanksgiving break. First up on the list is the third release in the Marvel NOW Kotobukiya Avengers ArtFX+ line: Captain America! Cap debuted at SDCC 2013 in July, but was M.I.A. when NYCC 2013 rolled around in October. Luckily, he’s returned safely from his mission and is now fully-painted! Even so, he’s probably my least favorite of the Kotobukiya Marvel NOW Avengers ARTFX+ Statues thus far…

When I saw the packaging revealed for the 2014 Marvel Legends Infinite Series Spider-Man series, I had my suspicions that the other shoe was about to drop in the form of a price increase for Hasbro Marvel Legends next year.

I didn’t have to wait long for my suspicions to pan out–BigBadToyStore has put Spider-Man Marvel Legends 2014 series 1 up for order, and has also confirmed the price increase and case ratios for next year’s Marvel Legends figures…

X-Force Deadpool’s got a different color costume, different hands and accessories, a different base, and one less head! In some ways I think this is an improvement over the original Deadpool–and in some ways, not so much…

Marvel Select Silver Surfer Figure Released

Something unexpected and absolutely stupefying happened this week: not only did the Marvel Select Silver Surfer ship out on time, it actually shipped out early. While retailers were listing a December 2013 release date for the Silver Surfer Marvel Select figure, Diamond Select Toys snuck him out the door and into stores–even before the still-delayed Thor 2 Jane Foster! Though I’m waiting for the Diamond Select Toys Silver Surfer I ordered online to arrive, I ventured out to a local comic book store today to snap some photos and see him in person…

Toys R Us Marvel Minimates Series 17 Rescue & Robot Hulk

I saw reported sightings of the new set of exclusive Toys R Us Marvel Minimates Wave 17 for the first time this morning, and decided to make it my new quest to see the Minimates wave in person. But, well… It wasn’t much of a quest. I drove to one Toys R Us, walked down the action figure aisle, and all four two-packs of the TRU Marvel Minimates Series 17 figures were just sitting right out front on the pegs…

Marvel Select Captain Marvel & Spider-Woman Reissues in 2014!

Posted on by November 18, 2013
Marvel Select Spider-Woman Figure Packaged

One of the best things about Diamond Select Toys’ Marvel Select action figures line is that DST regularly reissues older figures from the line, thus giving new collectors a chance to collect Marvel Select figures that have been out of print (sometimes for years) without having to max out their credit card bill. Sometimes Diamond Select makes character choices to reissue that are sensational, and sometimes the picks are less exciting. The impending 2014 reissues of Marvel Select Captain Marvel and Spider-Woman fall into the more boring latter category…
