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! And oh yeah—looks like it’s time to start a new team, as Night Thrasher is on the way as well…

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!

UPDATE 10/5/2018 #2: And for those who have been waiting for her, the NYCC Exclusive Okoye with Wig POP Vinyl is now up for order online as well!
UPDATE 10/5/2018: For those who want it, the NYCC 2018 Exclusive Funko Spider-Woman POP Vinyl figure is now up for order online while she lasts! This was easily the most interesting of the Funko Marvel Exclusives for New York Comic Con this year, so I’m very pleased she was shared with an online retailer. If you think you’re gonna want comic-based Jessica Drew Spider-Woman as a POP–now’s the time!

The Hasbro NYCC 2018 Marvel Legends Press Event came to a close a few hours ago, and the embargo on news and information from that event is at an end! Most of my photos will be posted on the Marvel Toy News social media pages this afternoon, but I wanted to post about one new reveal particularly—because its on-sale date is today! First hinted at at SDCC, the Exclusive Marvel Legends Arnim Zola & Hydra Captain America set is now up for order!

With a near-constant influx of new Marvel figures and toys being released almost every month, this year has flown right by. Q4 has arrived—and that means it’s time for NYCC 2018! Just like every year, I’ll be in New York City this week posting photos and coverage of new Hasbro Marvel Legends, as well as upcoming items from Diamond Select Toys, Kotobukiya, Bandai Japan, Sideshow Collectibles, Hot Toys, Good Smile Company and more! You can follow our coverage on the Marvel Toy News Facebook page, the Marvel Toy News Twitter feed, and the Marvel Toy News Instagram!

2018 has been a banner year for Sideshow X-Men statues, and it appears that the likely final X-Men Premium Format Figure pre-order of the year is also the one with arguably the most hype around it. Following the popular Mystique, Emma Frost, Rogue and Psylocke POs, the last of this year’s X-Women is officially on the way: the Sideshow Exclusive X-23 Premium Format Statue goes up for pre-order Thursday afternoon! And if you want her awesome masked head, you’re gonna need the EX…

It’s been a little while since I’ve talked about a Sentinel RE:EDIT Marvel figure, but they’ve really made me sit up and take notice with their latest solicitation. No, it’s not (quite) another in their seemingly endless parade of Iron Man armor permutations (and repainted)—it’s actually a character Sentinel has never tackled before at all: the Sentinel Iron Spider RE:EDIT figure is now up for order!

Given the sheer mass of Marvel toys and figures being released at retail the past few years, it’s no surprise that a few items are going to slip through the cracks and fall totally off the radar. Such is the case with the latest wave of GamerVerse figure two-packs–the sole Hasbro Marvel Universe-scaled 3.75″ figures wave being released this year! Easily one of the most eclectic groupings of Marvel action figures ever, the GamerVerse wave containing Ryu, Mr. Negative, Black Widow, PS4 Spider-Man and more is now up for order online and also beginning to pop up in stores!

New York Comic Con 2018 is less than a week away, and as usual, the anticipated pre-NYCC Marvel toy news lull is upon us. But while we wait to see new offerings revealed by Hasbro, Kotobukiya, Diamond Select and more next week, it’s the perfect time for me to dig back into my cache of Marvel Legends figures needing a review. And this time, it’s a figure guaranteed to be one of this year’s most popular figures: Venom Marvel Legends Carnage may be two per case and fairly easy to order online for MSRP , but he may actually (rightfully) be the fastest seller in the Venom series!

UPDATE 9/26/2018: Just like fans never saw the twist coming with the Mandarin in Iron Man 3 (okay, I did, I admit), a lot of collectors never saw it coming when the Marvel Legends Iron Man 3 three-pack went straight from pre-order to out of stock last week and immediately spiked to 180+ bucks on the aftermarket. But fear not, Gwyneth Paltrow fans: the Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends Pepper Potts/Mandarin/Hot Rod Iron Man set is back up for order for MSRP while it lasts!

Venom is one of the most popular villains in all of comic books to begin with, and with the Venom movie set to hit theaters next week, he’s become even more relevant and marketable than ever before. While we’re not getting quite as much merch for the character as you might expect (especially considering the zero movie-based toys announced), we are getting loads of comic-based collectibles goodness. And the newest addition is the first-ever from Medicom: the import MAFEX Venom figure is now up for order!

Sideshow Collectibles is going all-in on the X-Men this year, with a whopping five new 1/4 statues going up for sale this year—in addition to the releases of last year’s Magneto and Wolverine pieces. And the fourth and perhaps most-anticipated X-Men release of the year has arrived: the Sideshow Psylocke Exclusive Statue is now up for order! She’s changed since her debut at SDCC 2018–is it for the better?

One of the things that I hear from collectors pretty much every single week is, “I wish Amazon would do pre-orders for upcoming Marvel Legends figures again!” Back in the good old days (okay, like a year or two ago), Amazon was the first place to offer figures like the X-Men Legends Juggernaut Series before any other retailer. Well, it looks like the olden days are back, because the first four Captain Marvel Marvel Legends 2019 figures are now up for order online, including movie Captain Marvel, Young Nick Fury, a Skrull and more!

While the much talked-about Sideshow Psylocke Premium Format Figure will be going up for sale tomorrow (for a cool $585 plus shipping), fear not, Marvel statue collectors who can’t afford to drop more than half a grand on every piece! Diamond Select Toys is coming to the rescue again, with an all-new resin Marvel Premier Collection Hobgoblin Statue for just 135 bucks shipped! And a sweet tune for the PVC fans: a Marvel Gallery Black Cat PVC!

While the Avengers Infinity War merch train has slowed down quite a bit in the last few months, it hasn’t rolled to a complete stop just yet! After being announced way back in the spring, Diamond Select Toys finally revealed the Marvel Select Infinity War Figures shipping in December 2018 at SDCC. But those who couldn’t attend the show don’t have to rely on con-goer photos anymore—DST has shared the first official hi-res images of Captain America, Iron Spider, Thor and Groot!
