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!

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?

I had to do a double-take this morning when I saw that the very first Marvel San Diego Comic-Con 2018 exclusives had been revealed, as it looks like SDCC is swiftly sneaking up on us again! Just like last year, Diamond Select Toys is one of the first companies to the punch. Among their first batch of reveals is a trio of SDCC Exclusive Marvel Gallery statues including a white Phoenix, unmasked X-23 and a Grey Hulk that are now up for order!

When Hot Toys debuted their lineup of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 lineup of Movie Masterpiece Series sixth scale figures last year, many fans who missed out on the team from the first movie or who just wanted upgrades rejoiced. But over a year later, two of those prototypes had yet to be put up for sale. While it’s still unclear when or if we’ll get a new Drax, though, at least Zoe Saldana fans are finally being serviced: the new Hot Toys Gamora figure is now up for order!

Ever since he made his debut as the Winter Soldier in 2014, collectors have been dreaming of an SH Figuarts Bucky figure to pose alongside their Figuarts Captain America. We didn’t get one for The Winter Soldier, nor did we get the one Bandai teased for Civil War. But third time may be the charm: as part of the Avengers Infinity War series, an SH Figuarts Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes 6” figure is now up for order! However, is this the perfect Marvel Legends scale Bucky fans have been hoping for…?

At this point, we’ve seen almost everything Marvel Legends that Hasbro revealed last year at SDCC 2017 released in stores—with a couple of key exceptions. We’re still waiting for a wide release of the much-anticipated X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse series, but another (sort of) X-related release just came available this spring. Marvel Universe collectors have had little to enjoy so far in 2018, but the Marvel Legends Deadpool Rainbow Squad box set is now up for order!

When the Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man from Avengers Age of Ultron finally shipped after a wait of over two years, collectors who got one were pretty breathless about how spectacular it was. But not every collector that wanted one pre-ordered years earlier, nor could they afford the $1K+ aftermarket prices. But fear not, Hot Toys hasn’t forsaken you: the 20” Hot Toys Infinity War Hulkbuster Iron Man figure is now up for order! He’s less articulated than his predecessor—but also half the price!

UPDATE 4/27/2018: Not coincidentally-timed, Marvel Legends Infinity War Wave 2–the Cull Obsidian BAF series–is now up for order! As expected, Wasp and Ant-Man are the two double-packed figures! Now that you’ve seen Avengers Infinity War (and if you haven’t, get to it!), have you decided if you will be building the Cull Obsidian Build-A-Figure?
