Posted on by October 26, 2020
Marvel Legends Thunderbird Review Target Exclusive

When pre-orders opened up and then sold out virtually instantaneously for the Target Exclusive Marvel Legends Storm and Thunderbird two-pack, many collectors feared that they were going to have a relative nightmare on their hands. But as fate would have it, this exclusive Marvel Legends Target pack has ended up being plentiful in many stores, leaving collectors with whether or not they want the set, rather than whether or not they can find it. And so, let’s start with a peek at the Marvel Legends Thunderbird figure…

DST Marvel Gallery Storm Select Human Torch Premier Collection Logan Statue

This year has definitely been a little bit on the light side when it comes to new Marvel Select figures being revealed, but this week Diamond Select Toys revealed a character that’s all-new to the line: the Marvel Select Human Torch figure is now up for order! But will this figure be as hot as Johnny Storm’s flame? And that’s not all DST has cooked up: Marvel Gallery Storm and Marvel Premier Collection Logan statues are also on the way!

Unmasked Ben Reilly Blonde MAFEX Spider-Man Action Figure

As I have increasingly less free display space in my home and increasingly more multiple toys of the same characters, I’ve started cutting back and passing on some pricy Marvel import figures that I previously would have bought. But today’s surprise new Marvel MAFEX figure solicitation is definitely one I would never consider skipping: MAFEX Ben Reilly Spider-Man is now up for order! The Sensational Spider-Man costume is my favorite costume for Spidey—is this action figure also destined to be one of my favorites?

Marvel Legends AOA Apocalypse Deluxe Boxed Figure REVIEW & Photos

Posted on by October 11, 2020
Marvel Legends AOA Apocalypse Figure Review 2020

Although I reviewed all seven figures in the actual Age of Apocalypse Marvel Legends X-Men wave of 6″ figures, there was one last figure in the overall theme I was waiting on to review. And while I never managed to track one down at retail, the X-Men Legends Apocalypse Age of Apocalypse deluxe boxed figure I ordered from Amazon arrived this week. This may be the last AOA figure that we get from Hasbro for a while (but hopefully not forever)–does this world-conquering En Sabah Nur action figure disappoint?

Marvel Legends Children of Thanos Black Order EXCLUSIVE Set Up for Order!

Posted on by October 8, 2020
Marvel Legends Children of Thanos Black Order Figures Set Packaged Box

When Avengers Infinity War hit theaters two years ago, it introduced millions of fans to villains they were likely not very familiar with: the Black Order. The four “Children of Thanos” turned out to be a prominent and powerful force in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the figures of the quarter were spread out over a year and very difficult for many fans to acquire. But Hasbro has come to the rescue of those collectors in need: an Amazon EXCLUSIVE Marvel Legends Children of Thanos box set containing the whole Black Order–and an updated Endgame Thanos!–is now up for order!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Strong Guy Build-A-Figure (X-Force/Deadpool 2020 Series)

Posted on by October 1, 2020
Marvel Legends Strong Guy Review

Peter David’s X-Factor 90s run might be the first X-Men spin-off comic book series that I ever truly loved, so to say Hasbro got my attention when they started building this roster in super-articulated form would be an understatement. I was skeptical the team would come to fruition, but with Guido’s arrival this summer, 90s X-Factor is (more ore less) complete! You’ll have to buy every figure in this year’s Marvel Legends X-Force/Deadpool wave to build the Strong Guy Build-A-Figure: is he worth it?

Marvel Legends GamerVerse Avengers Wave 2 Figures

This is the first year in ages that I haven’t been travelling to New York City this fall to see Hasbro’s newest products in conjunction with New York Comic Con, but NYCC or no NYCC, Hasbro still has plenty of new Marvel goodness to reveal to us!

Marvel Legends Stormbreaker Axe Life Size Replica Up for Order!

Posted on by September 26, 2020
Marvel Legends Stormbreaker Axe Replica Over Shoulder

Hasbro had some big announcements and reveals at their Pulse Con 2020 Marvel panel today, but the biggest of all (dimensionally-speaking, at least!) was the latest addition to their beloved 1:1 role-playing items line: the Marvel Legends Stormbreaker Life Size Replica is now up for order! Not only is this the largest Marvel Legends prop replica Hasbro has ever done, but it’s also the most expensive (other than the actual metal Captain America shield). Does Thor’s mighty axe from the Avengers movie look worth it?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends NIMROD X-Men Amazon 3-Pack Exclusive Figure

Posted on by September 13, 2020
Marvel Legends Nimrod Review Hasbro X-Men Legends 2020 Exclusive

Of all the 6” scale figures that Hasbro has coming our way in the Marvel Legends 2020 lineup, nothing made my eyes light up and etched a smile on my face as much as the New York Toy Fair 2020 reveal of the oversized Marvel Legends Nimrod figure. After waiting patiently for over half a year, the Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends X-Men 3-Pack with Nimrod finally arrived this week—but did the ultimate Sentinel have any chance to match up to my sky-high expectations?

2020 Marvel Legends X-Men Age of Apocalypse Sunfire Figure Review

Posted on by September 13, 2020
Marvel Legends Age of Apocalypse Sunfire Figure Review

Perhaps appropriately, the last figure in my series of X-Men Age of Apocalypse Marvel Legends reviews is also the one and only figure in the wave that Hasbro has previously done a 6” version of! While the original Hasbro AOA Sunfire figure used to sell for big bucks on the aftermarket, the new 2020 Marvel Legends Age of Apocalypse Sunfire is one of the few figures in the wave selling for at or above MSRP. Has Hasbro one-upped their earlier effort to deliver the best AOA Sunfire action figure ever?

Posted on by August 29, 2020
Hasbro Marvel Legends AOA Blink and Morph Figures

My 2020 Deadpool and X-Force Marvel Legends Strong Guy Series figures have started to arrive, so I’ve finally got the motivation I needed to finish off my reviews of the Age of Apocalypse series. Today I’m looking at a figure that I was hyped for the moment it was announced–but has ended up being the pegwarmer of the series! You can get X-Men Marvel Legends Morph for 15 bucks shipped online–is he worth snagging at that discounted price (even if just for the Sugar Man BAF piece)?

Marvel Select Rampaging Hulk and Thing Figures

2020 has been an unusually slow year for Marvel Select collectors, with only two new figures shown by Diamond Select Toys in the first half of the year: comic book and movie versions of a Taskmaster Select figure. But during the online Comic Con festivities last month, an all-new comics-based figure debuted–and today, he’s officially solicited: the Marvel Select Rampaging Hulk figure is now up for order! And if the size of this 9.75″ behemoth of a figure doesn’t fans’ attention–he’s got a Cosmic/Robot Hulk interchangeable head that will!

Marvel Premier Collection Silver Sufer and Thor Statues

It’s hard to believe that it’s been five years already, but it has now been half a decade since Diamond Select Toys launched their modern Marvel Premier Collection line of resin statues. The second piece in the 2015 line was a classic Thor statue that made up half of a diorama—and five years later, we’re finally getting the second half! The long-awaited Clayburn Moore Marvel Premier Collection Silver Surfer statue is now up for order—and for those who missed it years ago, a new run of Thor is being reissued as well!
