It’s looking more and more like it might be a slow year for Marvel NYCC 2018 Exclusives, with next to nothing announced thus far for the show.

Close-Up of Monster Venom Marvel Legends Figure Head

I’m at the halfway point in my series of Venom Legends reviews, so I think it’s time I spotlighted the character more people requested a review of than any other in the wave: the Marvel Legends Monster Venom Build-A-Figure! The Monster Venom BAF is burning up the aftermarket and selling for about 75 bucks alone right now–is Hasbro’s bulkiest symbiote action figure ever worth the big money that collectors are paying for it?

And at this year’s show, XM Studios debuted some spectacular new 1/4 scale Marvel statues, including Star-Lord, the Scarlet Witch, Brown Costume Wolverine, Red Hulk, Rocket Raccoon and Groot and more!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Scream Venom Series Figure

Posted on by September 8, 2018
Marvel Legends Scream Review

I was pleasantly surprised earlier this week, when I reviewed an action figure that turned out to be near-perfect for a character I wasn’t especially familiar with: Venom Legends Poison. Wanting to see if lightning might strike twice, I decided to focus my next review on another character I wasn’t exactly giddy over being in this wave. The Marvel Legends Scream figure that’s now available for order is the first female Symbiote figure that Hasbro has ever done, so she’s automatically the best—but is she good?

Spider-Man PS4 Limited Edition Box

I know that there are tens of thousands of fans hella excited about the release of the Spider-Man PS4 video game—but, well… I half-forgot it was coming out at all until the PS4 Spider-Man Collector’s Edition turned up on my doorstep today.

Poison Peter Parker Marvel Legends Six Inch Figure

When I asked readers on social media what recently-released Hasbro Marvel Legends figures I should prioritize reviewing first, I was pretty stunned to see a multitude of votes for the Venom Legends Poison figure. Having never read even one panel with the character before, I rushed to buy the Venomverse TPB so I wouldn’t be writing blind. Now that I’m thoroughly acquainted with both the character and the Marvel Legends Poison figure that’s now available, what’s the verdict? Read on…

Marvel Unlimited Plus 2019 Marvel Legends Venomized Punisher Figure

Sharp-eyed readers noticed that earlier today I mentioned Hasbro had unveiled five new Marvel Legends figures today, even though only four new ML debuted at Canada Fan Expo 2018. The fifth one sort of flew under the radar, because it was quietly and unceremoniously announced via the Marvel Unlimited Plus website. That’s right, the MU Exclusive figure for 2019 has now been revealed, and I suspect its one no one on Earth guessed: Marvel Legends Venomized Punisher!

Marvel Legends Venom Series Spider-Ham Review

When I cracked open three cases of new Marvel Legends waves all at once today, I was rather overwhelmed and unsure of where to start with reviews. Well… almost unsure where to start, anyway! Because the character whose inclusion puts the biggest smile on my face of any new ML figure this year is in this wave, and there was no way I could pass up doing his review first. Kicking off my Venom Legends reviews is a figure I never thought would be done: Marvel Legends Spider-Ham is now available!

Marvel Animated Cyclops Statue and Nendoroid Infinity War Iron Man

While it remains all quiet on the mass-release Hasbro toys front this week (don’t worry, I’ll start a new series of Legends reviews this week), we have gotten a couple of new items solicited this week—in the chibi style!
