It’s the summer of Psylocke, as not only did the Sideshow Premium Format figure of her begin arriving this month, but now her first-ever (and almost certainly only ever) Marvel Select figure has started hitting comic book stores as well! Amazon delayed their own pre-orders to September for whatever reason, but EE has Marvel Select Psylocke in-stock for shipping right now: did DST’s Betsy Braddock 7” figure turn out good enough to own?

“I am… Iron Man. *SNAP*” is likely to go down as one of the most legendary climactic moments in not just superhero movie history, but in cinematic history as a whole. And a moment like that… deserves to be captured in high-end collectible form! Hot Toys solicited their final battle Iron Man such scale figure last month, but for those who don’t have $450+ to blow on a 12” figure, now there’s an alternative: the resin Iron Studios Endgame “I Am Iron Man” Statue is now up for order!

Life as a collector is full of little disappointments—but sometimes also big disappointments. After having the portrait changed from the original one show prior to SDCC 2018, fans cried foul when the final production head on the new Sideshow Psylocke Premium Format Figure statue turned out looking a lot… different… than anyone was expecting! I needed a 1/4 Psylocke in my life, so I went ahead and bought the Premium Format Psylocke Statue before it went to Wait List despite having some trepidations about the head. Did I make a $600 mistake? Here’s my review…

While the inaugural Marvel Legends X-Force series has several heavy-hitters like Mr. Sinister and Nightcrawler that I’ll be reviewing soon enough, today I want to focus on what’s almost certainly the most controversial ML figure this year. “Controversial” might sound a little dramatic for a toy, but there has been a lot of discussion of this action figure. You can get the new X-Force Marvel Legends Cannonball figure for about 20 bucks shipped right now—but should you?

From the moment that Hasbro placed the Marvel Legends Sasquatch Build-A-Figure on display in Canada close to two years ago, it was a foregone conclusion that we’d eventually see that mold reused in white for a Wendigo. And to the surprise of no one, that day has arrived and the not-so-mythical monster can now be assembled! You can build your own Marvel Legends Wendigo by buying all the figures in the X-Force Legends Series—but should you?

Another week, another company getting in on some of that sweet, sweet Miles Morales merch money! Up until now, Good Smile Company has had their Marvel Nendoroids focus squarely on characters with their own live-action movies—but the success of Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse was too monumental to ignore, and the Nendoroid Miles Morales Spider-Man figure is now up for order! The DX version comes with loads of accessories including a whole second body—but is this 4” figure worthy of his $80+ MSRP?

Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse was a rare surprise hit for the modern superhero movie genre, as ordinarily these days it’s expected that most superhero movies have blockbuster potential. But Into the Spider-Verse came and conquered, and now collectibles companies are racing to catch up and claim their cut!

Spider-Man is indeed the new Iron Man as far as Hot Toys is seemingly concerned. Hot Toys quickly created every suit from the first two MCU Spider-Man movies in sixth scale form, and now they’ve got something… bigger… on their minds! For the first time ever, Hot Toys is creating a non-Iron Man 1/4 character from the MCU: the Hot Toys Quarter-Scale Spider-Man figure is now up for order in deluxe and regular versions! He’s bigger than ever—with a bigger than ever price as well…

Avengers Endgame is now the top-grossing movie of all-time, which means that virtually no scene from that movie is likely to be safe from being merchandised in one form or another (and most already have). But Iron Studios has gone to the well now for the first time to capture a moment with their BDS (Battle Diorama Series) I’m not sure any other company is going to tackle—Iron Studios Red Skull & Black Widow statues representing Black Widow running to her death are now available! Yowza!

And for the Spidery comic book fans, Medicom has a zany comic version of their popular MAFEX Spider-Man as well…
