Earlier this weekend I talked about the new wave of Funko Avengers Infinity War POP Vinyls, the latest entries in a line beloved by tens of millions for its low-priced, super-deformed, space-saving Figures. Today, I’m going to talk about the antithesis of Funko POPs—humongous, ultra-realistic, limited-edition, crazy-expensive resin statues! You guessed it: it’s time to talk about the 1:4 Iron Studios Thanos and Iron Spider statues that are now up for order!

While we’ve gotten a plethora of 6” Marvel Legends Wolverine Figures over the years, fans who’ve started collecting Marvel Legends figures over the last decade may be surprised that there hasn’t been an iconic version of Sabertooth released in all that time. In fact, it’s been 15 years since the Jim Lee Sabertooth had a new action figure released! But those waiting for an upgrade to the old Toybiz Sabertooth need not wait any longer—the X-Men Marvel Legends Sabertooth figure is now available!

All of the 2018 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies may have come and gone, but don’t worry—with over half a year to go until the Captain Marvel movie, the merchandise for Black Panther, Avengers Infinity War and even Ant-Man and the Wasp will keep rolling out for many months to come. And Funko announced their next batch of Infinity War POP Vinyls this month—including Winter Soldier, Young Gamora, and even an Amazon-Exclusive POP Eitri (Peter Dinklage) figure!

Despite the fact that the Kotobukiya only announced their ARTFX+ X-Men 92 Figures line earlier this year, they’ve made it no secret that they’re going all-in with this series of 1:10 PVC statues right off the bat. And so, even though there’s still loads of villains and ancillary characters to make, all of the core members of the X-Men Animated team have now been accounted for: the Kotobukiya Gambit & Rogue ARTFX+ two-pack is now up for order!

Later on this month, I’ll be posting my review of the first new Hasbro Marvel Legends Psylocke figure in years from the recently-released X-Men Legends Apocalypse Series. But while Hasbro’s latest Betsy is just starting to reach most collectors’ hands, she’s already got some serious competition on the horizon for best 6” Psylocke figure ever: the Amazing Yamaguchi Kaiyodo Revoltech Psylocke is now up for order!

I had a little bit of an ulterior motive for talking about the 2019 Marvel Legends Hercules & Genis Captain Marvel Figures this morning. And that motive was: I didn’t want to be too far behind when Hasbro revealed more new Marvel Legends 2019 Figures tonight! Because for the first time ever, Hasbro unveiled upcoming Marvel Legends figures at the Unboxing Toy Convention in Mexico: 6” Living Laser, Nighthawk and the Kree Sentry Build-A-Figure!

Before closing the book on SDCC 2018 Marvel Legends coverage, there’s two more new figures that I need to talk about that didn’t logically fit with any of the other waves that have been discussed. Neither is a character that hasn’t been covered before by ML in some form, but I think fans will be in agreement that these are better renditions of these characters. Coming our way in the Avengers & Captain Marvel Marvel Legends waves next year: Hercules & Genis-Vell!

Demand is high and supply at retail still isn’t plentiful, but the X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series is slowly but surely starting to permeate retail stores. I reviewed the Apocalypse Build-A-Figure last month before I got sidetracked with SDCC 2018, but now it’s back to business and time to play catch-up. And what better place to start than with one of the X-Men’s two most legendary leaders: the Mistress of the Elements herself—X-Men Marvel Legends Storm!

Play Arts Kai Marvel has had a good ride, with the series lasting longer and going deeper character-wise than anybody expected. But this time, I think the end may really be nigh. Not just for Marvel Play Arts Kai—but largely for PAK as a whole! For the first time since the heyday of Play Arts Kai, Square-Enix didn’t reveal a single new PAK from any line at SDCC 2018. But if Marvel PAK is really coming to an end, at least it can go out with a bang: Play Arts Kai X-23 is now up for order!

2018 looks to be the year of the X-Men for Sideshow Collectibles, with their acclaimed Wolverine Premium Format Figure arriving in doorsteps and receiving rave reviews, and no less than eight more X-Men statues slated to arrive over the course of 2018-2019. And while we’re a ways away from Juggernaut and Cable being fully revealed, another legendary favorite is about to have her time: the 1/4 Sideshow Exclusive Rogue Maquette is now up for order! But the X-Men’s female powerhouse comes with a real powerhouse of a price-tag…

Daniel Bel only joined the Sideshow Collectibles team within the last year, but already he’s becoming one of Sideshow’s hottest rising star sculptors. And far and away, his most hyped Marvel piece thus far is also his latest to be unveiled! When collectors first saw it, I saw a TON of “Day One PO!” and “Instant Grail!” comments posted—now that the Sideshow Exclusive Thor Breaker of Brimstone Statue is actually up for order, are you thinking about buying it?

The sheer volume and number of Hot Toys Iron Man sixth scale figures released has become a bit of a running jokes with Hot Toys collectors. At this point, I couldn’t even begin to tell you how many dozens have been released, or even how many of them I own (it’s a lot). But even so, there’s at least one Iron Man armor that collectors have been asking for an upgrade to nonstop for over half a decade. And now, they’re gonna get it: the Hot Toys Iron Man Mark VII Diecast figure is now up for order!

One of the highlights for me at practically every major event where new toys are showcased is the inevitable plethora of new Diamond Select Toys Marvel figures and statues. And at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, DST did not disappoint, as they debuted a multitude of new PVC Marvel Gallery statues (like Mr. Sinister!), several new Marvel Premier statues (like Hobgoblin!), and even an expansion of their 1/2 scale busts (like Spider-Gwen!)!

The next 12 months are going to be a big one for Spider-Man, with not one, but two Spider-Man movies (plus the Venom movie!) hitting theaters.

Following up the Marvel Legends Venom series that’s currently up for order, Hasbro announced the first of the 2019 Marvel Legends Spider-Man Figures—including a Kingpin Build-A-Figure, the Red Goblin, Silver Sable and more!
