UPDATE 11/27/2017: Every so often, I want to kick myself in the teeth for paying full price for something. This is one of those times. While the pre-orders may have sold out early, evidently there were way more of this set produced than necessary, because the Marvel Legends Spider-Man vs. The Sinister Six 7-Pack is on sale today only for just $14.99 shipped! A moment of silence for those of us poor souls who paid 80 bucks…

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, it’s time to pick up the pace to make sure that every Hasbro Marvel Legends 2017 figure gets it’s rightful spotlight while it’s still, well… 2017. Moving along with the Marvel Knights Legends series reviews, we’ve got the star of the first-ever female-led Marvel TV series. Krysten Ritter herself has gone on TV talking about how much she loves her Marvel Legends Netflix Jessica Jones figure (which is on sale now for 17 bucks shipped). Is it as good as she thinks?

It was right around this time last year at the Miyazawa Model Exhibition Fall 2016 that Kaiyodo revealed what was the first genuine jaw-dropper in their Amazing Yamaguchi series: the Revoltech Venom figure. So it only seems appropriate that after the monumental success of that figure last year, we get to see Venom’s spawn at this year’s Fall 2017 Miyazawa Model Exhibition: this just may blow every other version ever made out of the water–it’s the Kaiyodo Revoltech Carnage figure!

It won my “Best in the Show” award at New York Comic-Con 2017 last month, and now the wait to bring it home can officially begin: the Diamond Select Toys Marvel Premier Collection Cable statue is now up for order!
And dollar for dollar, I think this can stand up pretty favorably to pretty much any Cable statue that has come before from anybody…

After two and a half weeks in theaters, the Thor Ragnarok movie has bright in around 250 million dollars domestically and is an unarguable success. Meanwhile, just about every company from Hasbro to Bandai Tamashii to Gentle Giant to DST has put their Gladiator Hulk offerings up for order. Every company except perhaps the most-anticipated of all. But no longer—the Mezco ONE:12 Collective Gladiator Hulk figure is now up for order!

After a consistent downpour of new Marvel Gallery statues being announced most of the year by Diamond Select Toys, new solicitations have slowed to a drizzle recently. But it looks like the storm is picking up again—! In addition to the announcement of the Black Panther Marvel Gallery movie statues earlier today, DST officially announced two other new PVC statues: the GameStop/ThinkGeek Exclusive Unmasked Gwenpool & Red Hulk are now up for order!

Thanksgiving is just two days away, and we’re getting something to really be thankful for in advance: lots of fresh Marvel toy news! There’s a lot I want to talk about before the holiday, but I want to start with something that’s been a long time coming: the Marvel Select Black Panther went up for order in the fall despite just being a silhouette then. Now it’s finally been revealed—along with multiple series of Black Panther Minimates and even DST Marvel Gallery statues!

Hasbro played some surprise cards at San Diego Comic-Con 2017 when they revealed Marvel Legends figures of two rather obscure Deadpool variants: Symbiote Deadpool and Weapon X (Inverse) Deadpool!
As with all good things, we had to wait a bit, but these obscure Wade Wilson variants are now arriving exclusively at GameStop!

Yesterday, the Hasbro Pulse gave us our first look at the 2018 Marvel Legends Black Widow & Motorcycle set, one half of the announced Marvel Legends Riders series hitting stores next spring. I figured we’d likely see the other new boxed set next week, but Hasbro had an unexpected weekend surprise cooked up for us: the first photo of the packaged Marvel Legends Ghost Rider & Motorcycle set has now been revealed!

This has been a slow news week as far as Marvel toy news is concerned, as most companies are laser-focused this week on promoting and soliciting toys from some non-Marvel movie that hits theaters this week (I think Aquaman is in it). But Hasbro did have one special treat for us to close out the week with: the first packaged photo of the Marvel Legends 2018 Black Widow Motorcycle set!

Last week I started my Marvel Knights Legends reviews with my review of Netflix Daredevil, and what with his show debuting tomorrow (and his figure being on sale for 16 bucks shipped online), the Marvel Legends Netflix Punisher was the obvious choice to follow up with. [I could say I planned to wait and review him during his series’ premiere, but I’d be totally lying.] Fans have been demanding a 6” figure of this version of Punisher since before he ever appeared in a show: will they be satisfied?

Kotobukiya had been showing off a very cool 1:6 Spider-Man Homecoming ARTFX Statue at conventions this summer and fall, so we were all expecting Koto to put a new Spidey statue up for order right about now… just not this Spidey statue! Swinging in from absolutely nowhere (and I mean that on multiple levels—read on), the Kotobukiya Spider-Man Webslinger ARTFX Statue is now up for order!

If you haven’t been checking out the toys at your local GameStop or Best Buy store, you may not have noticed one of the most popular and unique new figure lines around this year: PDP Pixel Pals. And if you’re a Marvel only collector, that’s been fine… until now! The sure-to-be best-selling Pixel Pals Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite figure two-packs are being released this week, and PDP sent over a set for us to review, including Gamora, Ryu, Rocket Raccoon, Chun Li and more!

UPDATE 11/11/2017: Those who don’t mind a little bit longer to get their Marvel Legends Black Panther series figure have another option: Amazon is now taking orders for all six individual figures in the Black Panther Legends wave! The catch is that the figures won’t ship until 1/1/2018, whereas other online retailers have a December 2017 ship date.

While the biggest Marvel toy news this week is Hasbro launching their Black Panther Marvel Legends series overnight, Hasbro isn’t the only one launching pre-orders for their line for the movie this week! Funko has big plans for Black Panther movie toys as well, as evident by the fact that Funko Black Panther POP Vinyls, Dorbz and more are now up for order!
