Sam Wilson became Captain America way back in 2014, and Hasbro released their first Marvel Legends Sam Wilson Captain America figure soon after in a 2016 3-pack with Vision and Kate Bishop Hawkeye. That “Captain Falcon” figure was wholly inadequate because, well… it didn’t have any wings. 8 years later, Hasbro is making good on past potential by launching a comics-based Target Exclusive Symbol of Truth Captain America Sam Wilson action figure today! Is this the Falcon Cap that Sam’s fans have been waiting for?

Luckily, I was able to quickly get a Marvel Legends Power Princess from Entertainment Earth to review and also to finish my Void Build-A-Figure. Many fans are purchasing this figure as a stand-in for Wonder Woman—a role Zarda here excels at. She’s not Princess Diana in name, but is this Squadron Supreme-completing team member still the best 6” Wonder Woman figure ever?
Continue Reading →Marvel Legends 2024 has been unusually light on Build-A-Figure waves thus far this year, but Hasbro is remedying that in a surprising way with a wholly unexpected mixed wave of 6” figures announced via Hasbro Pulse livestream yesterday: the highly eclectic Marvel Legends Zabu Build-A-Figure series featuring 90s Cable, Wolfsbane, Ka-Zar, Ikaris and more is now up for order!

Continue Reading →Movie Doctor Octopushas been a primary demand from ML collectors for years, and 2 years after Spider-Man No Way Home hit theaters, the MCU Hasbro Marvel Legends Doc Ock 6” figure arrived. Rather than being a pack-in Build-A-Figure as many fans dreamed, the Marvel Legends Doctor Octopus movie figure is a $38 deluxe standalone release. Is this unique-sculpted Spidey villain worth a pair of Andrew Jacksons and a spot on your shelf? Here’s my review…
Continue Reading →I have highly limited space left in my displays for huge statues at this point, and even less space in my wallet for them. But I’m always watching for new characters I don’t have a statue of and bold takes on ones I do. So far this month, Sideshow has both! A new 1/4 Spider-Man Premium Format Figure and the first-ever 1/4 Dazzler Premium Format Figure are now up for order! Are they worth a look, lofty price tags and all?
Continue Reading →Being a total fanboy for the Skottie Young Marvel Animated statues series by Diamond Select Toys isn’t exactly one of my best-kept secrets, so I was delighted this winter to finish off a team in the line for the very first time. While the Fantastic Four is coming in fast, the FF were beaten to the team-completion punch by one of the zaniest teams in the Marvel Universe, the Guardians of the Galaxy. The Marvel Animated Drax statue is shipping now and completes the movie roster. Here’s my review…

Just announced and going up for pre-order this week, it’s the Hasbro Pulse exclusive Spider-Man Animated Series Marvel Legends Daredevil & Hydro-Man 6″ action figures VHS 2-pack! Matt Murdock is a man without fear, but not a figure without cel-shading! Do you need one fo your shelf…?

Earlier this week I talked about the triad of new offerings from Diamond Select Toys’ latest solicitations, but I need to backtrack and discuss a trio of very popular collectibles being reissued as well: Marvel Select Advanced Suit Spider-Man, Marvel Gallery Emma Frost and the Animated Deadpool statue! Let’s take a look at these previously sold out pieces…
Continue Reading →X-Men collectibles look to be having a banner year in 2024 to coincide with the most major pieces of new Marvel media known for the year being X-related. Diamond Select Toys is ready to give X-fans more love as well, as 2 of their 3 new Marvel collectibles for the month are also X-centric: the Marvel Gallery 90s Wolverine PVC, X-Men Animated Morph bust and Spider-Man 2 Gallery Miles Morales statue are all up for order now!
Continue Reading →Diamond Select Toys has held fast as the budget choice in a statue collecting market where prices have otherwise soared to unheard of heights. Their successful Marvel Gallery statues lineup has been expanding rapidly over time, including more and more X-Men joining the series over the last year. And complementing the Rogue that also arrived this winter is the other half of the 90s X-Men super couple: Marvel Gallery Gambit is now available! Should this Cajun rage into your collection?
Continue Reading →The third time is the charm—or at least, that’s what a lot of Vance Atrovik fans are hoping with regards to the hero’s inevitable third figure. Because the second one, which is the subject of today’s review, isn’t quite the version most fans were hoping for. Marvel Legends Justice is now flying in at retail—is this Void Series figure a winner despite not being the original New Warriors iteration of the character that the line seems ready for?
Continue Reading →Last week, Hasbro celebrated Wolverine’s 50th Anniversary with new 6” figures of Lady Mandarin Psylocke and Ninja Wolverine, and this week they’re opening up pre-orders for a two-pack based on another Chris Claremont Wolverine classic: Marvel Legends Patch and Joe Fixit! We’ve had figures of both these characters before, but never together—and never in their matching white tuxes from Wolverine #8! Is this another must-have two-pack?

“Wild and crazy” as descriptors of what happened to Psylocke in the last years of Chris Claremont’s legendary run on Uncanny X-Men. After being reborn, mind wiped, ethnically changed and soul swapped, Betsy briefly became the Mandarin’s assassin, Lady Mandarin. (I swear it reads better than it summarizes.) As Lady Mandarin, Psylocke battled Wolverine (in his “ninja” attire), until Logan defeated Psylocke and restored her free will. And now, thanks to Hasbro, fans will be able to recreate this landmark battle: the Marvel Legends Lady Mandarin Psylocke & Ninja Wolverine figures two-pack is now up for order!
Continue Reading →Given that The Vision has now appeared in three of the highest grossing movies of all-time, a lot of collectors might expect we’d be swimming in easily obtainable classic green and yellow Vision comic book styled figures by now. But nope! That version of Vision has only appeared a couple times in his most iconic look over the past 21 years, and those 6” figures are quite expensive to track down. But Hasbro has come to fans’ rescue once again, and an all-new 2024 Marvel Legends Vision figure is now available as part of the Void Series!
