I’m still well behind in my 2018 Marvel Legends reviews, so I’m going to diverge from my usual format and knock out two figure reviews for the price of one today! While the Spider-Man Marvel Legends Lizard Series has been out in stores (allegedly) for a couple months now, it’s been exceedingly hard to find in a lot of areas. If you haven’t obtained the Marvel Legends Lasher and Prowler Figures yet, are they worth the hunt? Here’s my review…

At this point, Mezco Toyz has serviced most Wolverine fans. Whether you’re a fan of Wolverine in his Tiger Stripe, Brown or X-Force costumes—or even if you prefer Old Man Logan—there’s a ONE:12 Collective Wolverine for you. But for those fans who like Wolverine out of costume and not, well… old… Mezco has one more flavor left in store for you: the Mezco ONE:12 Collective Logan figure is now up for order!

Talk about striking when the iron is hot! Thanks to the mega-success of Deadpool 2, Domino is more popular this week than the character has been since, well… ever! And not ones to miss an opportunity, Diamond Select Toys is ready to swoop in and capitalize: the first-ever resin Domino Statue is now up for order! And that’s not all DST has lined up for the Marvel Premier Collection: a Black Panther movie Statue is now on the way as well…

It’s no secret that I’ve been getting seduced by the sweet siren song of Iron Studios over the past few months, as their resin 1/10 Battle Diorama Series Marvel statues are becoming more and more impressive. The largest series to-date by far is coming in the form of the Avengers Infinity War BDS, and following up on last month’s successful Thanos and Cull Obsidian launches, the first three Avengers are joining the fray: the Iron Studios Black Widow, Hulkbuster and Hulk statues are now up for order!

Gentle Giant Ltd. has been showing Wolverine fans some real love in the first half of 2018, with two new Collectors Gallery statues already solicited for pre-order and last year’s PGM Exclusive Old Man Logan bust shipping soon. But if that’s not enough Logan for you, you’re in luck—a Gentle Giant Marvel Animated Wolverine Statue and a 1/8 Old Man Logan are now up for order!

Despite the hundreds of 6” scale Marvel Legends figures that have been released over the last decade and a half, there are still major omissions from the X-Men ‘92 lineup. While perhaps the lack of a Jim Lee Jubilee is still the most keenly felt, there’s another animated-era costume just as high on thousands of collectors’ wish lists. And while we may be waiting a bit longer for this character in Marvel Legends, Kotobukiya has a placeholder for us: the ARTFX+ Professor X in Hoverchair is now up for order!

If there’s one figure that I know a lot–and I mean a lot–of Hot Toys collectors have been regretting skipping lately, it’s the original Hot Toys Doctor Strange figure. With the Sorcerer Supreme’s solo movie not exactly shattering records and setting the merch world on fire, a lot of collectors skipped Benedict Cumberbatch’s first MMS figure entirely. As a result, when he was a major character with a ton of screen-time in Avengers Infinity War, the first figure exploded on the aftermarket, selling for $700-$800 this month. But fear not, non-rich latecomers–a new Infinity War Hot Toys Doctor Strange figure is now up for order for regular price!

UPDATE 5/16/2018: Well, here’s an article I never expected to be updating again! After being out of production for three years, the EE EXCLUSIVE Funko Glow-in-the-Dark Thanos POP Vinyl figure is back up for order! Thousands of new collectors have burst on the scene since the last time this figure was available: will this exclusive reissue fill in a gap in your Marvel collection…?

I’ve fallen off the wagon a bit lately with regards to Marvel Legends reviews, but with Deadpool 2 hitting theaters this week, now seems like the perfect time to start catching up! And so, today I’ll be posting my first Deadpool Marvel Legends Sasquatch Series review, featuring the first Hasbro 6” scale version of a character who’s grown to be a headliner in her own right in the decade-plus since Toybiz did her: the Deadpool Marvel Legends X-Force X-23 (who’s available online now for MSRP)!

Believe it or not, despite the fact that Bandai Tamashii has released well over a dozen S.H. Figuarts Iron Man figures, they’ve never released the iconic Mark 7 armor from the first Avengers movie—at least, not until now! The SH Figuarts Iron Man Mark VII figure with Hall of Armor diorama is now up for order in the United States! And Bandai also has another beloved variant costume coming our way in a bit more wacky fashion—Black Ninja Spider-Man is on the way!

You know that old saying that “the sequel is never as good as the first”? Well, it doesn’t look as if that’s going to be the case for Deadpool 2—but far more importantly, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be the case for Hot Toys’ second crack at Deadpool! While there have only been minor changes to the costume both in the movie and for the figure, Hot Toys has found a way to upgrade this MMS and make it superior to the original: the 1/6 Hot Toys Deadpool 2 figure is now up for order!

UPDATE (5/12/2018): For those who have been unsuccessful scoring him at retail and tired of staring at his “back-order” online, the Exclusive Marvel Select Modern Thanos figure is finally available and up for order online again! It’s been a long time since there’s been this level of demand for a Marvel Select figure, that’s for sure! In addition to Thanos, the unmasked Tom Holland Spider-Man Homecoming figure is also still up for order!

The Mezco ONE:12 Collective star was just beginning to rise when their Punisher figures were released, so a plethora of collectors missed out on owning any of the four ONE:12 Collective Punisher figures that were released in 2017 (including the Classic Punisher that sells for 1000% of his original cost today!). But while a comic-based Punisher may be forever out of reach for many Mezco Toyz collectors, they’re about to have a shot at a live-action Frank Castle—the ONE:12 Collective Netflix Punisher is now up for order!

When it comes to the resin statue collecting world, the popular opinion of the masses is generally that bigger is better. But one company who’s defying that mentality is Iron Studios, who introduced their popular 1:10 scale Battle Diorama Series last year. I’ve been a fan since the first time I saw the MCU BDS statues in person, but I’ve never written a review for one… until now. The Iron Studios Spider-Man Homecoming Iron Man Statue is now starting to ship—is this low-priced piece worth your cash?

UPDATE 5/4/2018: For those who have resisted the urge to pay scalper prices and haven’t found it yet at retail, salvation is now in sight and your Marvel Legends Infinity War collection can be complete: the Exclusive Marvel Legends Teen Groot, Thor and Rocket Raccoon three-pack is now up for order online!
