Spider Gwen Ebony Maw Angela DST Statues

While Black Friday 2018 has only just arrived,the way things are these days, most of us have already seen all of the big sales for the “event” and already placed our orders before the clock even clicked over from Thanksgiving. So rather than focusing on “deals” this Black Friday, let’s look ahead to the future! Just in time for the holidays this week, Diamond Select Toys released their April 2019 solicitations: Marvel Gallery Ebony Maw & Angela and the Legends in 3D Spider-Gwen Bust are now up for order!

But fear not, Illyana fans–you shan’t have to walk past the Walgreens cashier empty-handed anymore: the Exclusive Marvel Legends Magik figure is finally up for order online!

REVIEW: ONE:12 Collective Iron Man Model 42 Figure Mezco Exclusive

Posted on by November 19, 2018
Marvel ONE:12 Collective Iron Man Model 42 Review

When Mezco Toyz debuted their ONE:12 Collective Iron Man figure nearly two years ago, I was a little bit skeptical of if I needed a non-soft goods ONE:12 Collective figure for 90 bucks. And so, when the Mezco Iron Man Figure went up for pre-order earlier this year, I didn’t even reserve one. That said, when they announced an event exclusive Model 42 Iron Man in Marvel Puzzle Quest colors last month, I had to have it. I was lucky enough to snag one off a converted Wait List which I’ll review here: I have now drank the Kool-Aid. ONE:12 Collective Iron Man is an absolute treasure…

REVIEW: Iron Studios Rocket & Groot Battle Diorama Series Statue

Posted on by November 17, 2018
Iron Studios GOTG Vol. 2 Rocket and Groot Statue Review

I always try desperately to curb my spending around the holidays, but when a good deal comes up, a good deal comes up. So when Amazon temporarily mispriced the Iron Studios Rocket Raccoon & Groot BDS Statue down to 45 bucks last week, what was a GOTG fan to do besides one-click purchase them for himself, right? They caught the mistake reasonably quick and spiked the price back up now, which begs the question: is this 1:10 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Statue worth the full MSRP?

Exclusive Marvel Legends PS4 Spider-Man Figures Up for Order!

Marvel Legends GamerVerse Spider-Man PS4 Figure Packaged

UPDATE 11/17/2018: For those who haven’t found him locally and/or missed the PO in the summer, the Gamestop Exclusive Marvel Legends PS4 Spider-Man 6″ figure is in-stock and back up online while he lasts! I’ve heard quite a few people say these have been getting bought up by their local scalpers, so online may be the way to go for those folks in scalper zones. Those who’ve got their Hasbro GamerVerse Spider-Man figure already: what do you think?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Typhoid Mary Figure (Venom Series)

Posted on by November 16, 2018
Venom Legends Typhoid Mary Figure Close-Up

With somewhere between a month and a month and a half before the 2019 Marvel Legends Black Panther M’Baku Series starts appearing, we’ve got a bit of time to wait before we’re likely to see more Hasbro ML news. But hey, it’s not a total loss, as I still have plenty of review-less 2018 figures to cover! The Venom Legends series has been almost a unilateral win across the board so far, but there’s one figure left to review: Marvel Legends Typhoid Mary is already selling for below retail price, but that doesn’t mean she’s not a solid figure…

Sideshow X-Force Deadpool Life-Size Bust Up for Order! LE 100!

Posted on by November 15, 2018
Sideshow X-Force Deadpool Life Size Bust Pre-Order

Bust collecting is dying. There’s almost no doubt about it: Whether it’s life-size busts or mini-busts, statue companies are having very hard time these days finding more than a few hundred collectors interested in any one bust. But perhaps Sideshow Collectibles has the right idea with their latest attempt, as they’re not even going to try to find hundreds. Instead, they’re going right for an edition size that’s almost unheard of for a Marvel Statue: the LE 100 (yes, 100!!) X-Force Deadpool Life Size Bust is now up for order!

REVIEW: Marvel Gallery Infinity War Thor Statue (Diamond Select)

Posted on by November 14, 2018
Marvel Gallery Infinity War Thor Review

In this day and age where the majority of resin “high-end” statues being produced run half a grand and up, Diamond Select Toys has taken it upon themselves to produce the widest-ranging value-priced line of comic book PVC statues ever. I’ve been one of the most outspoken advocates for the Marvel Gallery statues since they debuted at New York Toy Fair 2016, but I’ve never actually reviewed one—until now. Though the 13” Marvel Gallery Infinity War Thor Statue costs under 45 bucks shipped, it ended up as one of my favorite pieces of Thor merch from the movie…

2019 Marvel Legends Avengers 4 Series Lineup & Photos Summary!

2019 Marvel Legends Avengers 4 Series Photos

Today is likely to forevermore be the saddest day in the history of Marvel, as the iconic genius Stan Lee has left us. It’s a loss we’ll all be feeling for years, but I think also an ideal time to look ahead to the future of the company that Stan Lee made a legend (and vice versa). And what better series to look at than what’s been announced for the 2019 Marvel Legends Avengers 4 Figures lineup, an assortment running the gamut of comic book characters from Stan’s early days through characters from the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe movies…

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Bishop Figure (Deadpool Sauron Series)

Posted on by November 10, 2018
Marvel Legends 2018 Bishop Figure Close-Up

With no more major toy conventions in 2018 and the Black Panther Legends M’Baku Series at least a month away from shipping out (and very possibly being held for a January 1st, 2019 release date), we’re likely going to be going through a bit of a Marvel Legends news dry spell once again for the rest of the year. Which means it’s time to dig into the big cache of unreviewed figures once again! Last time, I talked about one of the best Build-A-Figures ever in Sauron, and this time, let’s look at one of the Deadpool Wave 2 figures you need to buy to build him: Marvel Legends Bishop!

Gentle Giant Carnage Mini Bust Up for Order! Limited to 450 Pieces!

Posted on by November 9, 2018
Gentle Giant Carnage Mini Bust Close-Up

One of the most extravagant Marvel collectibles of the entire year went up for sale yesterday, in the form of the ultra-huge and ultra-expensive Sideshow Venom Life Size Bust. But what about collectors who dig symbiote busts and don’t have $1,200 to spare or a mansion to display humongous statues in? Well, Gentle Giant Ltd. has something worked up just for you! We don’t see many mini busts released these days, but a surprisingly limited Gentle Giant Carnage Bust has now been put up for order… with just 450 pieces being produced!

Sideshow Collectibles Venom Life Size Bust Up for Order!

Posted on by November 8, 2018
Venom Life Sized Bust Sideshow Collectibles NYCC 2018

UPDATE 11/8/2018: Sideshow’s Venom Life-Size Bust was the single thing that impressed me most at NYCC 2018, and just a month later, the 27.5″ tall Sideshow Venom LSB is up for PO! It’s both WAY WAY too big and WAY WAY too expensive for me to add to my collection, but is anyone planning to pick up what has to be among the coolest (and biggest) Venom items ever made?

Revoltech Gambit Figure Photos & Up for Order! (Kaiyodo X-Men)

Posted on by November 7, 2018
Gambit Action Figure Kaiyodo Revoltech 2019 With Angry Face

Hasbro and Kaiyodo have been playing a little game of one-upmanship with the X-Men over the last year, with both companies releasing competing 6” Psylocke and yellow Wolverine figures in rapid succession to each other. And now, that trend is continuing with a release that I think may put all of the previous Revoltech Marvel figures to shame. Hot on the heels of the Hasbro Marvel Legends Gambit being announced, the Kaiyodo Revoltech Gambit is now up for order—and it just may be the single coolest piece of Gambit merch ever!

EXCLUSIVE Marvel Select Infinity War Iron Man Mark 50 Up for Order!

Posted on by November 3, 2018
Iron man Mark 50 Marvel Select Figure with Nanotech Cannon

When Diamond Select Toys announced their Marvel Select Avengers Infinity War lineup last winter, it sort of threw most collectors for a loop. Captain America, Thor and… Spider-Man? Would the Big Three be incomplete in MS figure form again? But hold the phone—turns out DST had a trump card hidden up their sleeve: the EXCLUSIVE Marvel Select Infinity War Iron Man figure is now up for order… and it’s shipping before any of their other figures from the movie!
