With there being hundreds upon hundreds of Marvel Funko POP Vinyls figures out there now (no, seriously—there’s well over 500 now), I long since gave up on trying to keep pace and collect them all. As such, it’s been a little while since I wrote my last Marvel POP unboxing and review. But Entertainment Earth kindly sent over some of the latest WandaVision POP Vinyls figures for me to review, so let’s take a look at the newest Funko POP WandaVision Scarlet Witch, Agatha Harkness and Monica Rambeau figures!
Continue Reading →We’re just over a week out from the Disney+ debut episode of “What If…?”, the first canonical MCU animated series—but whether anyone has seen the show or not, reveals of the merch for the show is rolling out at a pretty steady pace! Amazon has opened pre-orders for their Exclusive Funko POP Year of the Shield Peggy Carter Riding Hydra Stomper figure, and Hot Toys is getting in on the action as well by debuting their one-sixth scale Captain Carter and humongous Hydra Stomper figures!

In isolation, that’s a fantastically (pardon the pun) encouraging number for the World Devourer. But when you take into consideration that the vast majority of those sales are from the first day and most days since have had less than 100 backers, those numbers are a little worrisome. And that may be why, even though Galactus himself hasn’t been backed yet, Hasbro decided to drop the curtain and reveal the first stretch goal yesterday: the first-ever Marvel Legends Frankie Raye Nova figure!
Continue Reading →Last week wasn’t just a good week for new Marvel Legends figures going up for pre-order—Hasbro also announced and revealed a trio of new exclusives that would be coming our way later this year! It’s a pretty eclectic bunch, including a long-demanded Carol Danvers as Binary Marvel Legends figure for Walgreens, a repainted Hand Ninja army-builder for Hasbro Pulse, and even a new-ish and improved Spider-Man Homecoming Vulture movie figure for Target! Let’s take a closer look at this threesome of upcoming store exclusives…
Continue Reading →Even before this year’s first wave of Disney+ Marvel Legends figures began hitting stores a couple months back, supposed retailer data leaks had already jumpstarted rumors that a second Marvel Legends Disney+ wave of figures, composed primarily of characters from the upcoming What If…? animated series, would be on the horizon for later in 2021. Those rumors intensified when Hasbro unveiled a Sylvie figure from Loki last month and couldn’t confirm when or where it would be released. But we don’t have to wait any longer to find out now–the Marvel Legends Watcher Series is now revealed and up for order, including Sylvie, Zombie Captain America, Captain Peggy Carter and more!

While the big Hasbro launch today is unquestionably the anticipated second wave of Marvel Legends Disney+ figures with Sylvie and the What If? Watcher Build-A-Figure, that’s not all Hasbro has ready to fly! For those looking to scratch a classic Marvel Comics-based itch, there’s an all-new Marvel Legends Tigra Retro figure up for order today! And for those who are especially hyped about the What If? series, you can take your Captain Peggy Carter to the next level by picking up the Deluxe Marvel Legends Hydra Stomper to complement it!
Continue Reading →It’s been a while since I reported on any LEGO news here on Marvel Toy News, but today we got just the right mega-announcement to ease back into talking about LEGO Marvel once again! After years of rumors and requests by fans, it’s finally happening! LEGO Marvel minifigures will be sold in blind-bagged form, set-free, for the first time ever: the 71031 LEGO Marvel Studios Minifigures Series of blind bagged figures has now been revealed, including characters from Loki, What If?, WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier!
Continue Reading →It’s hard to believe since the perception of time went all screwy when a pandemic threw off the rhythm of the entire world, but it’s been over a year-plus now that we’ve known Iron Studios had an exclusive 1/10 scale Juggernaut statue on the way as a stand-alone (separate from the Sentinel) part of their X-Men statues series. Cain arrived internationally months ago, but the time has arrived for US folk: the limited Iron Studios Juggernaut exclusive statue is now up for order only on Sideshow’s website!
Continue Reading →San Diego Comic Con is generally the singular biggest event of the year for Sideshow Collectibles to unveil new statues at, and while SDCC 2021 isn’t *really* happening this year as a physical show, Sideshow has been holding their own Sideshow Con 2021 this week instead! I’m somewhat disappointed in the lack of new X-Men statues from them, but Sideshow otherwise hit us up with a grand slam of other new headliner 1/4 statue Marvel Premium Format Figures: Venom, Carnage, Captain America and Black Widow!
Continue Reading →San Diego Comic Con 2021 at Home is going on now, but it’s been rather quiet news-wise for figures nonetheless. Hasbro dropped loads of new Marvel Legends figures (and a $400 World-Devourer) earlier in the month, and Hot Toys had their big week of premieres last week. Luckily for statue fans, Diamond Select Toys (and Sideshow Collectibles) have some goodies to show off (and sell). Let’s begin with DST, whose new Legends in 3D Green Goblin Bust and Marvel Gallery Spider-Man PVC statue are now up for order!
Continue Reading →Last summer, Hasbro lit the Marvel collecting world ablaze with the runaway success of the Marvel Legends Sentinel HasLab figure, a project which obliterated all its stretch goals and netted an amazing 21,000+ backers. So it’s no surprise that Hasbro is back at it again this year with what’s beyond a doubt the most popular other hugely oversized character they could make: the 32” tall Marvel Legends HasLab Galactus figure has now been fully revealed, and the campaign is on to get 14,000+ backers and make this project a reality!
Continue Reading →Hot Toys is holding their 2021 Summer Showcase this week, and just in time for the event, they decided to reveal not one, not two, not three, not four, but five new Hot Toys Marvel sixth scale figures! Perhaps the three most intriguing figures from these reveals are ones that represent the MCU’s past, present and future: the new Hot Toys Die-Cast Iron Man Mark I, Black Widow (Special Edition) and Black & Gold Suit Spider-Man are now up for order! Let’s take a look at the latest Movie Masterpiece Series 1/6 masterpieces…
Continue Reading →Hasbro has been hitting fans fast and furiously this year with new additions to their 90s Toybiz vintage packaging-styled Spider-Man Retro Legends series, but today they’re mixing things up with a rare new entry in the Toybiz Marvel Super Heroes-inspired Retro series! He was teased in hi-res form during a live stream a few months back, so he’s not coming out of the blue entirely: the classic-styled Marvel Legends Hercules Retro Series figure is now up for order! If you’ve already got a 6″ Herc, do you need another? Well… I sure do!
Continue Reading →While Hot Toys has been showing off their super nifty (and super expensive) WandaVision sixth scale figures of the white Vision and Scarlet Witch figures this month, not everyone wants to wait another year and spend $500+ for a pair of figures of those characters. And for those fans, Hasbro has their own Marvel Legends WandaVision Scarlet Witch and Vision available now! These (particularly Wanda) seem to be selling out pretty quickly as they come into stock. Is it worth hunting down your own 6” Scarlet Witch figure in her Disney+ costume? Here’s my review…
Continue Reading →It’s been almost a full year now since their most recent Marvel Bishoujo statue took the stage, but Kotobukiya is finally back at it again with an all-new addition to their long-running PVC figure lineup! Designed by Shunya Yamashita and sculpted by TSUBAME, former X-23 Laura Kinney is back with a new costume and codename: the Kotobukiya Bishoujo Wolverine Laura Kinney statue is now up for order! Laura has grown up and succeeded Logan as Wolverine–will her new Bishoujo succeed the old X-23 one in your collection?
