Hot Toys kicked off the week and their Avengers 4 sixth scale figures lineup with new versions of the two most marketable characters from the movie: Thanos and Iron Man Mark 85. But for their next launch, they’re throwing us a curveball in the form of a long-demanded supporting character getting her first (and almost certainly only) 1/6 MMS ever: the Hot Toys Nebula figure is now up for order! Should you make space for Thanos’ other daughter to join your collection…?

Just when it looked like Kingpin was going to slaughter the competition for most-demanded Marvel Legends Build-A-Figure of 2019, Hasbro went and announced—and released!—a figure this week that fans have been asking for ever since Infinity War! You’ll have to pick up six figures from the Avengers Legends 2019 Wave 1 series to build him, so he won’t be cheap (in fact, he’s selling for about 100 bucks alone on the aftermarket!)—is the Marvel Legends Endgame Thanos figure worth all of the hype and expense it’ll take to acquire him?

Many collectors of the Bandai Tamashii S.H. Figuarts like awoke today to some rather disappointing news: the Bandai SH Figuarts Avengers Endgame figures had launched overnight on all of the usual import sites–and promptly sold out from most of them! While certain figures like Ronin and Black Widow have remained available here and there on various sites, one figure predictably sold out instantaneously across all of them. Luckily, he’s getting a U.S. release for a reasonable price: the SH Figuarts Endgame Thanos figure is now up for order online in the US!

Now that the embargo on Avengers Endgame toys has lifted, the dam has burst and info on the merch for the movie is flooding in!

The first of what’s sure to be many MMS figures from the movie were revealed over the weekend, and the Hot Toys Endgame Thanos and Iron Man Mark 85 figures are now up for order!

UPDATE: For those who just want to pick and choose their favorites and not deal with a whole case, the Marvel Legends Avengers Endgame Armored Thanos Series is now up for order as singles online, including Ronin, Ebony Maw, Quantum Realm Captain America, Hercules and more!
Ronin ►
Ebony Maw ►
Endgame Captain America ►
Hercules ►
Citizen V ►

I would definitely expect to see Ebony Maw and Ronin sell out very quickly as one-per-case movie figures, and Hercules may be popular as well. If those are the figures in this wave you’ve got your eye on, you might want to order now, as they’re ready to ship this week!

Funko is the perennial king of exclusives, with more exclusive figures released in the past decade as part of the POP Vinyls series than any other figure line has ever had. But for the Avengers Endgame POPs, Funko has actually found something new that even they have never done before: in addition to all of the “usual” exclusives, a way to make exclusives out of every one of the 11 non-exclusive POP figures in the series: the EE Exclusive Funko POP Avengers Endgame figures with Collector Cards are now up for order!

Medicom had a big surprise for X-Men collectors last month prior to New York Toy Fair 2019, when they unexpectedly debuted a Jim Lee Cyclops MAFEX 6” figure at the Winter Wonder Fest in Japan. We hadn’t heard or seen any new updates about that prototype in over a month, but the blackbird has landed today: the Medicom MAFEX Cyclops Figure has now been fully revealed and is up for order! And this version will definitely be giving Hasbro’s a run for its money…

Of all the remaining Marvel comic book villains yet to be captured in 1:4 scale statue form by any major company, X-Men villain Juggernaut is at the very top of the list. And after years of demand from collectors, Sideshow Collectibles finally heard the outcry and announced a Premium Format scale Juggernaut last year! And now, the Sideshow Exclusive Juggernaut Statue (with Kitty Pryde EX!) goes up for order today… but will the Unstoppable Juggernaut be stopped by a startling price-tag?

I was away at Emerald City Comic Con 2019 all last week, but luckily I didn’t miss much, as it’s been ridiculously quiet on the Marvel toy news front. In fact, you could probably see a tumbleweed blow past while the many toy companies out there wait for the okay to reveal their onslaught of Avengers Endgame collectibles. But while there’s still nothing new to report, we’ve got a real blast from the past appearing online: a half dozen-plus previously sold-out Exclusive Marvel Select figures have popped up online–at clearance prices!

A week after opening in theaters (and becoming a genuine blockbuster hit), opinions on the Captain Marvel movie are varied. Some fans place it near the top of their list of MCU movies, some rank it in the middle, and some a bit lower. But if there’s one thing people universally loved, it’s Goose the Cat! And now that most have seen the movie, Funko can finally reveal some spoiler-iffic figures: the POP Flerken Goose (and chase variant!) are now up for order!

Diamond Select Toys has been making Marvel Cinematic Universe characters as part of their line of Marvel Select figures almost from the beginning of the MCU, with only a handful of movies missing toys. DST hasn’t failed to release Marvel Select figures for an MCU movie in nearly half a decade, but it looked like that streak might be snapped by 2018’s last entry. But have no fear, it’s better late than never: the Exclusive Marvel Select Ant-Man and the Wasp figures are now up for order online!

Kotobukiya Marvel Bishoujo collectors have had a rather boring last few years, as the last time a new character went up for order was in 2017—and that Captain Marvel Bishoujo figure was cancelled until further notice and has never come out at all. But patience is a virtue, and the line lives on: after appearing in unpainted form at New York Toy Fair 2019, the Kotobukiya Domino Bishoujo Statue is now up for order!

While Hot Toys is covering Marvel movie-based sixth scale figures so magnificently that there’s zero need for other company to compete with them on the movie front, Marvel Comics sixth scale figures are few and far between (especially with the Hasbro 12” line seemingly on hiatus). But Sideshow Collectibles is still slowly trucking along with comic book-styled goodness, and their next character is a bit of a surprise: the Sideshow Exclusive Red Skull 1/6 figure is now up for order!

All good things come to an end, and the end of my New York Toy Fair 2019 coverage is today! Earlier this week I looked at the MCU movie half of the Hasbro Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Series, and today I’ve got the other half, which is composed entirely of classic comic book figures! Closing out my 2019 Toy Fair coverage, it’s Marvel Legends Juggernaut, Colossus, First Appearance Wolverine, Classic Thor and more!
