Marvel Legends Infinity War Wave 2 is a pretty weird series, as the set is split three ways between characters from the comics and the Ant-Man and the Wasp and Avengers Infinity War movies. But not only is the Cull Obsidian Series an unusually eclectic mix—it’s also been unusually hard to find in stores. And among the harder figures to come by is the one new comic book-based figures in the wave: Marvel Legends Black Knight…

SDCC 2018 is less than a month away, and while many of the major Marvel exclusives for the show are being officially announced a bit later than we’ve become accustomed to, at long last they’re finally rolling out. And this year, I believe The King of Exclusives is setting their own new personal best with a record ten Marvel exclusives, including POPs of MCU Iron Man Mark I, Classic Ant-Man, Kraglin (!!) and… Taika Waititi?!?

Diamond Select Toys is expanding their range of Marvel statues faster than any other company in the collecting landscape, and that trend continues the latest round of solicitations. After unveiling their first-ever Marvel 1:2 (half-scale) bust in the spring with a very impressive Deadpool, DST has their second entry ready to launch: the Marvel Venom Bust is now up for order! But those who prefer their traditional full statue resin offerings to busts aren’t left out in the cold, as Premier Collection Lady Deadpool is on the scene as well…

Avengers Infinity War may ultimately be the biggest superhero movie of all-time, but there’s still plenty of love for this year’s other two MCU movies. And so, fresh off the DVD release of Black Panther and in anticipation of next month’s theatrical release of Ant-Man and the Wasp, the latest trio of Diamond Select Toys Marvel Gallery PVC figures are all in honor of those “other” movies: the Marvel Gallery Ant-Man, Wasp and Shuri statues are now up for order!

UPDATE (6/18/2018): For those who missed out on the life-size Marvel Legends Star-Lord Helmet last year and have been kicking themselves ever since because of the crazy $150-$200+ aftermarket prices it’s been selling for lately, you’re in luck–Amazon has put some leftovers of the electronic Star-Lord helmet back up for sale at the original $99 MSRP! I haven’t heard anything about this helmet getting a full reissue from Hasbro, so this may well be the last chance to grab this for a decent price if you need it!

What, three full waves of new Marvel Legends figures going up for pre-order in two weeks still isn’t enough for you?! Well, Hasbro certainly hopes not, because they also solicited one more new figure box set this week! First shown at New York Toy Fair 2018 back in February, the 6” X-Men Marvel Legends Wolverine Motorcycle set is now up for order! If anyone’s motorcycle is going to come close to being as cool as Ghost Rider’s (because it’s sort of the same motorcycle), it’s Logan’s!

It may be time to start building an ark, because the Hasbro flood of new Marvel Legends figures this month doesn’t seem to be letting up! This time, it’s not another whole new series of figures, though—it’s just one three pack of upgrading figures many collectors may have missed! The 6” Marvel Legends Infinity War 3-Pack of Thanos (with new head!), Doctor Strange and Iron Man is now up for order!

UPDATE: The Venom Marvel Legends Series may have just gone up for sale a couple hours ago, but single figures of every Venom Legends figure are now available for PO as well! They’re not quite as cheap per figure as buying by the case, but if you just want to cherry-pick your favorites like Spider-Ham, Scream or Carnage, you might wanna jump on this before the popular shortpacked figures are gone!

UPDATE: Yesterday this wave went up for sale by error, but it’s no accident today that not only are whole cases of the Marvel Legends SP//dr Series available–but single figures of Marvel Legends Doc Ock, Cloak/Dagger, Elektra and company are as well! They’re two bucks more per figure than buying by the case, but if you’re only looking to grab Doctor Octopus, Scarlet Spider, Daredevil or whoever for your collection, this is the time to do it!

UPDATE 6/11/2018: For those looking to army-build X-Men Marvel Legends Multiple Man or just pick and choose their favorites like Magneto, Wolverine, Psylocke, Sabertooth, Gladiator or Storm, individual figures from the Marvel Legends X-Men Apocalypse Series are now up for order while they last!

The Kotobukiya ARTFX+ X-Men ‘92 statues line has been one of the best surprises of 2018 so far, with figures of Wolverine, Jubilee, Cyclops, Beast and Professor X in hoverchair already solicited. And this week, the team grew some more with two more 90s mainstays: the Kotobukiya ARTFX+ Storm and Bishop two-pack is now up for order! Oh, and for those wanting the most famous Avengers mutant? ARTFX+ Scarlet Witch is on the way as well!

After close to a year since the first figures were shown at SDCC 2017, the 2018 X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series finally went up for order yesterday! Such a momentous occassion has understandably put me into an X-Men kinda mood. And so, for today’s review, let’s take a look at the X-character who’s managed to one-up Deadpool in his own series by being by far the most in-demand figure of the wave: Deadpool Marvel Legends Cable!

Earlier this week, I reviewed a Marvel Legends Build-A-Figure that I thought was solid overall but just a little bit boring: the Deadpool Legends Sasquatch BAF. Today I’m going to the opposite extreme with a review of a Build-A-Figure that’s anything but boring! The Marvel Legends Lizard BAF is the most expensive on the aftermarket of this year’s Build-A-Figures thus far and is quite difficult to find all the pieces for at retail. Is this classic Spidey villain worth the hype (and secondary market prices)?

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, repaints are a fact of collecting life. Sometimes we’re lucky enough to know that a repaint is in the works when an original statue is shown, and sometimes we’re not. Today’s item is unfortunately of the latter type, as it was recently announced… a year and a half after the original version. The Sideshow Avengers Assemble Stealth Iron Man Statue is now up for order, and is limited to just 500 pieces produced!

At New York Toy Fair 2018, Hasbro showed off almost the entirety of this summer’s Venom Marvel Legends series of figures, revealing five of the figures that will comprise the series. They also showed off the packaging for the Venom Legends Series, which revealed that the Build-A-Figure would be something called “Monster Venom”. Speculation ran rampant about what the Monster Venom figure would be, but today, he’s been revealed! And the Marvel Legends Monster Venom BAF isn’t alone–the final figure in the series, Typhoid Mary has now made her debut!
