For whatever reason, the Bandai Tamashii SH Figuarts Infinity War figures weren’t as big of a hit as expected domestically, with many of the figures still available a year after orders opened and some even after being discounted. Presumably because of this, we’ve seen a far narrower selection of the Endgame figures getting released in North America, and even seeming sure-things are remaining overseas exclusives. Even the Jade Giant isn’t immune to exclusivity, as he’s not getting a domestic release. But if you’ve got to have him, the SH Figuarts Endgame Hulk figure is up for order in the US on BBTS now…

There are certain things that you just never dare to dream about in collecting. And for me, the very notion that Hot Toys might ever make a high-end sixth scale figure of the original Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider costume—complete with blue hoodie!!—is one of those things.

After dropping another half dozen new Marvel Legends figures for pre-order to close out last week, let’s hope Hasbro will give collectors a little respite before hitting them up with yet another blast of solicitations. In the meantime, let’s shift our focus to the next entry in Kotobukiya’s expanding high-priced PVC line! The sixth member of the Avengers lineup just may be the best figure we’ve seen so far in the line: ARTFX Premier Doctor Strange Statue is now up for order!

2018 is the year that Thanos became a household name in the mainstream, and 2019 is the year that a multitude of high-end Thanos merch has begun arriving in stores and on doorstep.
