2020 Marvel Legends White Rabbit Figure Review (Spider-Man Demogoblin Series)

Posted on by February 16, 2020
Review Hasbro White Rabbit Marvel Legends Spider-Man Figure

If there was any speck of doubt left that we are living in a crazy golden age of Marvel Legends action figures, the subject of today’s review should remove all doubt. She’s one of the wildest and most off-the-wall additions to the Spider-Man Legends series ever (and I think that says a lot!): the Hasbro Marvel Legends White Rabbit figure is shipping now from online retailers and flying off the shelves in the stores where she’s appeared! Is this whimsical and elusive White Rabbit worth chasing after?

Wings on Marvel Legends Demogoblin Wave Vulture Action Figure

New York Toy Fair 2020 is just a short 10 days away—but before I get to NYC to photograph and preview a plethora of upcoming Hasbro Marvel Legends 2020 figures, I’ve got some catching up to do talking about some recently-released ones! And this time out, I knew the figure I wanted to review first—because he’s a cagey old codger who refuses to wait: the 2020 Marvel Legends Vulture figure headlining the Spider-Man Demogoblin Series is now available! After over a decade since the last 6” classic Vulture, has Hasbro perfected the old-timer?

Marvel Revoltech Cable Figure Revealed at Winter Wonderfest 2020!

Posted on by February 10, 2020
Marvel Revoltech Cable Winter Wonder Festival 2020

When Kaiyido Revoltech solicited their first Marvel comics-based figure almost four years ago (Deadpool), I wondered if the market really had space for another expensive 6” Marvel figures series. The answer was clearly “yes”, as Kaiyodo has been expanding the range each year since, and has given us more X-Men characters than any other import line. And this year, Deadpool is getting a friend and the X-family will be growing further when the Revoltech Cable figure arrives!

Mezco ONE:12 Collective Thanos Figure Official Photos & Order Info!

Mezco ONE 12 Collective Thanos Figure with Light Up Infinity Gauntlet

Another “inevitable” event has transpired, as Mezco Toyz finally put their long-awaited ONE:12 Collective Thanos Figure up for order to kick off the weekend! The head sculpts on this 8″ Mezco Thanos Figure are absolutely phenomenal, and the light-up Infinity Gauntlet is a coup for a 1/12th scale figure. But the price-tag on this Mad Titan is unprecedented for a Marvel ONE:12 Collective action figure. Does this Thanos look worth its lofty price-tag?

Hot Toys Battle Damaged Thanos Figure & Nano Gauntlet Up for Order!

Posted on by February 5, 2020
Battle Damaged Thanos Hot Toys Figure with Nano Gauntlet and Angry Head

He was… inevitable! Ever since Avengers Endgame hit theaters last spring, hardcore sixth scale collectors just knew that Hot Toys wouldn’t be able to resist double-dipping with a second version of armored Thanos from the climactic movie. And after many months of teasing and speculation, the inevitable has become reality: the Hot Toys Battle Damaged Thanos with Nano Gauntlet is now up for order! The Mad Titan has a sad face and a new glove—is this the definitive version to have?

Marvel Legends Venom Build-A-Figure Reissue Up for Order!

Posted on by February 3, 2020
Marvel Legends 2020 Venom Box Back

With New York Toy Fair 2020 just two weeks and change away, I expected Hasbro to hold all their cards close to their vest until the event. Nevertheless, over the weekend images leaked of a new version of the popular 2018 Hasbro Monster Venom Build-A-Figure. And now, those who missed out on the original release and who just wanted a crack at a more “classic” styled iteration have got another chance: the Marvel Legends Venom Build-A-Figure variant is now up for order as a solo figure!

MAFEX Avengers Infinity War Captain America Figure Up for Order!

Posted on by February 2, 2020
MAFEX Infinity War Captain America Figure Pointing

I got sidetracked over the course of the past week, so this latest figure preview is arriving a bit late. But hey, in this case, that seems pretty appropriate—because it’s a preview of a figure that feels like it’s being solicited fashionably late! While basically every other company took orders for their Avengers Infinity War figures way back in 2018, Medicom Toy is just now adding a new addition to their own lineup from the movie: the MAFEX Infinity War Captain America figure is now up for order! Is this fashionably late version of Cap still worth a look two years after the movie?

REVIEW: 2020 Marvel Legends Super Skrull Build-A-Figure (Fantastic Four)

Posted on by February 1, 2020
Review Marvel Legends Super Skrull Build-A-Figure

But wait—there’s more! Before I move on to reviews of the first 2020 Marvel Legends Spider-Man series, there’s one more Fantastic Four Legends figure to review: the Super Skrull Build-A-Figure! Toybiz released several variants of Super Skrull that were ridiculously difficult and expensive to obtain, but you can build this Hasbro Super Skrull BAF “free” if you buy the whole Fantastic Four series. Is he worth buying this wave to complete…?

Marvel Gallery Jigsaw & Animated Doctor Strange DST Statues Up for Order!

Posted on by January 25, 2020
Marvel Gallery Jigsaw Star-Lord and Marvel Animated Doctor Strange Babies

Earlier today I talked about two of Diamond Select Toys’ big surprises from their new solicitations in the form of a movie Taskmaster figure and their upcoming Archangel statue’s price-tag, but there was one more major surprise in the listings—a statue of a character I never in my life expected to see a statue of: the Marvel Gallery Jigsaw PVC statue is now up for order! And he’s not coming alone—value-priced Animated Doctor Strange and a comics Marvel Gallery Star-Lord reissue are on the way as well…

Marvel Select Taskmaster & Premier Collection Archangel Up for Order!

Posted on by January 25, 2020
Marvel Select Taskmaster and Premier Collection Archangel Statue

When Diamond Select Toys debuted their humongous Archangel statue at NYCC 2019 last October, I had my doubts they could keep it below the usual $199 Premier Collection price-point regardless of what the placard said at the event. And I was right, as Warren is actually priced at a surprising $399 MSRP! Thankfully, EE has the Marvel Premier Collection marked down a more $319 shipped for pre-orders. But that wasn’t the only surprise in the new solicits—a Marvel Select Taskmaster movie figure is also on the way!

Exclusive Marvel Legends Black Widow Grey & White Costume Comic Figures!

Posted on by January 23, 2020
Marvel Legends Exclusive Black Widow Grey White Comic Book Figures

Last week I noted my surprise that the movie Black Widow Legends figure in white costume was going to be available via many retailers and not just as a Target or Walmart exclusive like last year’s pair of Captain Marvels. Well, looks like Hasbro was way ahead of me and had that box checked already with comic variants–a Walmart Exclusive Marvel Legends Grey Costume Black Widow is now up for order, and Target has their own comic-based white costume Black Widow as well!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends She-Hulk Figure (Fantastic Four Super Skrull Series)

Posted on by January 21, 2020
She-Hulk Marvel Legends Fantastic Four Series Figure vs The Thing

While I’ve already previously reviewed the whole new Marvel Legends Fantastic Four team and Doctor Doom figures, there’s still one more single-packed figure left to review from the wave—who, coincidentally, is perhaps the most controversial and least-hyped figure in the Super Skrull series! Succumbing to her rage and PTSD, modern Grey She-Hulk is now available as a Marvel Legends figure for the very first time! This take on Shulkie wasn’t exactly a major hit with comic book fans—but that doesn’t mean her action figure will necessarily share the same fate…

Funko POP Gambit and Rogue Revealed & Up for Order! Exclusives!

Posted on by January 20, 2020
Funko POP Vinyls Gambit and Rogue Figures

When Funko started seriously building an X-Men POP Vinyls sub-series of Marvel figures a few years back, diehard fans immediately started demanding two characters who rose to iconic status in the 90s—Rogue and Gambit! It’s actually taken a surprisingly long time to get to the 90s Jim Lee power couple, but the wait is over at last: Funko POP Rogue and Gambit figures are finally up for order—including an EE Exclusive Glow in the Dark Gambit POP!
