Having already talked about all the various live-action MCU and Netflix statues that Diamond Select Toys solicited earlier this week, that just leaves two left to discuss: the comic-based duo! One of these we first saw debuted at San Diego Comic Con, and the other is an all-new reveal that we won’t be able to get our mitts on until Free Comic Book Day 2019—the Marvel Gallery Thor and Symbiote Spider-Man statues!

For Hot Toys Marvel collectors, New York Comic Con 2018 was a pretty forgettable—if not disappointing—show. While the die-cast Neon Tech Iron Man (AKA Tron Iron Man) was available first to NYCC attendees, there were a whopping zero never-before-seen Movie Masterpiece Series 1/6 figures unveiled at the event. But one previously shown figure we weren’t entirely sure was going to get released did make a reappearance in New York City, and now he’s officially on the way: the Hot Toys Concept Art Iron Man Mark XLVI figure is now up for order!

While there was absolutely no shortage of Avengers Infinity War collectibles released this year, some important characters from the film still got the shaft merch-wise. The Black Order is among those characters—especially Ebony Maw and Corvus Glaive. Both those characters will be getting love from Hasbro in 2019, but at least one of them is getting his first statue as well: the DST Marvel Gallery Corvus Glaive figure is now up for order! And he’ll be joined by a certain unmasked King of Wakanda…

Kotobukiya is one of my favorite companies to visit every time I’m in New York City for a major toy event, as they’ve always got at least something new for Marvel collectors to ogle at. And New York Comic Con 2018 was no exception! While the Weapon X statue I was hoping to see in-person wasn’t present, Koto unveiled their upcoming Vision and Thanos ARTFX+ statues, reveal their next Marvel Bishoujo Statue, and had a killer X-Men Animated figure diorama set up…

My apologies for the large gap in New York Comic Con coverage! I had braces put in this week, and what I thought was going to be a minor irritant ended up sidelining me for days. Alas. But I’m back now, and looking to fill in the NYCC blanks with the last of the Marvel Legends Hasbro brought along to the show: the previously-announced 2019 Marvel Legends Spider-Man Kingpin Series!

I’m ready to move on to taking about other companies’ showings from New York Comic Con 2018, which means it’s time to finish up my Hasbro Marvel Legends 2019 coverage.

Hasbro hit us with quite a few curveballs at NYCC 2018, and one of them that I definitely did not see coming was the next Marvel Legends two-pack to be announced! Although we got a modern Kraven Legends figures just a few years ago as part of the Rhino Series, that Kraven wasn’t to the liking of a lot of classic fans. But as usual, the Hasbro Marvel team had something up their sleeve to please fans of all eras, and they revealed it at New York Comic-Con: a Marvel Legends Kraven’s Last Hunt two-pack with classic Kraven and Black Costume Spider-Man figures!

New York Comic Con 2018 comes to an end today, and that means I can dig in and start to work on comprehensive coverage of the convention, including the biggest event of the show for Marvel collectors: the NYCC Hasbro Marvel Legends Press Event! This featured an interview Q&A with the Hasbro team and numerous new reveals, including a few that really sold me on one of next year’s ML sets I was previously lukewarm on: the Marvel Legends Deadpool Scooter set now comes with a Bob Agent of Hydra head and more!

Hasbro had plenty of major reveals at their New York Comic Con 2018 Press Event yesterday, but the one that just about brought me to tears is one that was actually revealed on a Marvel livestream: at long last, the first-ever 90s Jim Lee Marvel Legends Jubilee Figure is coming our way next year!

Pretty much all of my NYCC 2018 Marvel Legends photos are now posted (or will be posted shortly) on Facebook (with a healthy dose on Instagram and Twitter), and I’ll begin posting about most of them here on the main page over the weekend. But as so many people have asked about this duo, I figured I’d throw up a quick post regarding two of the most-demanded characters revealed by Hasbro at the show: 2019 Marvel Legends Corvus Glaive and Ebony Maw!
