Marvel Legends Dark Phoenix & Cyclops Released in the US!

Marvel Legends X-Men Dark Phoenix Cyclops 2-Pack Released

UPDATE (6/20/2017): We figured it would be about a month before the X-Men Legends Cyclops & Dark Phoenix two-pack reached the United States, and just like clockwork–they’re here! The cases for this two-pack note an 8/1/2017 release date, but I’ve seen sightings of the Toys R Us exclusive set being sold now in California, Louisiana, and Michigan. If you’re jonesin’ for this set (and who isn’t?), now’s the time to start stalking your local Toys R Us store!

Funko Exclusive Stealth Blackbird Jet Dorbz Ridez w/ Storm!

Funko Dorbz Stealth Blackbird Jet with Black Costume Storm Ridez Set

It’s a week, and that means it’s time for another Funko exclusive! Hot on the heels of the Blue Venom POP Vinyl and Unmasked Homemade Suit Spider-Man POP going up for order, it’s time to give a little bit of exclusive variant attention to X-Men fans! There’s nothing especially “new” in this box set, but I think some collectors may dig the Funko Dorbz Stealth Blackbird and Black Costume Storm set anyway…

Hot Toys Homecoming Spider-Man Tom Holland Head Revealed! 

Hot Toys Spider-Man Homecoming Tom Holland Head Portrait

Earlier this month, to the delight of thousands of high-end Spidey collectors worldwide, Hot Toys finally put their classic-ish red-and-blue Spider-Man Homecoming figure up for order. At the time, while Hot Toys announced that an unmasked Peter Parker Tom Holland portrait would be included, the sculpt was still unapproved and blurred out at the time. But it turns out we don’t have to wait months for the mic drop this time–the Hot Toys Tom Holland head has now been revealed!

Believe it or not, the time to order a new comics-based version of Wakandan King T’Challa is here at last–the Walmart Exclusive Marvel Legends Black Panther figure is finally up for order online!

Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite Figures: Iron Man vs Mega Man X!

Hasbro Marvel vs Capcom Infinite Figures Mega Man X vs Iron Man Hi-Res

If one announcement at New York Toy Fair 2017 made me do a double-take of disbelief, it was when Hasbro flashed the Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite logo at their press event. Toybiz did MvC figures way back when, but it’s a phenomenon I thought we’d never see again. Hasbro thought otherwise, and as the first (perhaps only?) entry in the line, they premiered a Target Exclusive Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite Iron Man vs. Mega Man X set at E3 this week!

UPDATE 6/17/2017: Added the Hi-Res Image of the Set!

Spider-Man Homecoming Collector Corps Box Review & Spoilers!

Funko Spider-Man Homecoming Box Review Spoilers Collector Corps

The summer movie season is upon us, and thus, for the second Marvel Collector Corps box in a row we’ve got a new MCU movie theme! Not to be confused with last year’s comic-based Spider-Man box, this time out it’s the Funko Marvel Collector Corps Spider-Man Homecoming box! The mass retail line for this movie seemed pretty comprehensive, so I was really curious what was going to be inside this mystery box. Let’s take a peek…

Hasbro Marvel Brand Team Google Hangout Notes & Photos!

Marvel Legends Executioner and Enchantress Two-Pack Revealed

Earlier today, the Hasbro Marvel Brand Team held their inaugural Google+ Hangout session, and I had the extreme honor of being invited. Fanboy that I am, I spent basically the entire chat scribbling notes like a madman and taking as many screenshots as I could so that I could relate back as much of the news, commentary and photos as possible to the other crazed Marvel collectors who couldn’t attend the hangout… including news on a just-revealed Marvel Legends Executioner and Enchantress two-pack!

Thor Ragnarok Marvel Legends Ares Figure Revealed & More!

2017 Marvel Legends Ares Figure Thor Ragnarok Series

Not only will Thor be getting his third movie later this year, but before “Thor Ragnarok” hits theaters, the first-ever Thor Marvel Legends series will be hitting stores August 1st 2017! And while the movie figures are still under wraps for the moment, the comic-based figures are not–including a mass release Jane Foster Thor and an updated Marvel Legends Ares figure that’s not a Build-A-Figure!

Marvel Legends Netflix Series Hi-Res Photos! Blade! Man-Thing!

Blade Marvel Legends 2017 Figure Packaged

Way back at New York Toy Fair 2017 in February, Hasbro showed off finished prototypes of the first four figures from a new “Marvel Knights” Netflix series of 6″ Marvel Legends. Rumors and speculation have run rampant for months regarding what characters would round out these series, but the time for debate is over: the 2017 Marvel Legends Blade, Bullseye and Man-Thing Build-A-Figure have now been revealed!

SDCC 2017 Exclusive ONE:12 Collective X-Men Deadpool!

San Diego Comic Con 2017 Exclusive Mezco ONE 12 Collective X-Men Deadpool

Mezco Toyz has been spacing out the announcements of their San Diego Comic Con 2017 exclusives over the past several weeks, and while I was love Thundercats as much as the next guy (okay, probably more than most next guys), it’s the SDCC ONE:12 Collective Marvel exclusive I’ve been really waiting to see. I never had much doubt that it was going to be a Deadpool variant, but at least it turns out to be my favorite one: the SDCC 2017 Exclusive ONE:12 Collective X-Men Deadpool has now been revealed!

Marvel Legends Deadpool 12″ Figure on Clearance at Target!

50% Off 12" Marvel Legends Deadpool Action Figure at Target

While I thought that the Hasbro Marvel Legends 12″ Spider-Man, Captain America and Iron Man figures last year were all excellent toys at a solid price, their retail sales didn’t exactly set the world on fire. I had high hopes that this year’s 12″ Deadpool Marvel Legends figure would be a huge hit in stores and revitalize the line’s health, but it doesn’t look like that’s the case–the Deadpool 12″ figure is already appearing on clearance at Target stores…

Spider-Man Homecoming Marvel Legends Vulture Review

Marvel Legends Spider-Man Homecoming Vulture Build-A-Figure Review

When Hasbro officially announced that the Marvel Legends Spider-Man Homecoming Build-A-Figure built by buying the whole wave wasn’t going to be a figure at all–but rather the movie Vulture’s Flight Pack wings–tons of collectors called foul (no, not “fowl”–vultures aren’t fowl). After all, the series “Build-A-Figure” being an accessory was unheard of in Marvel Legends. But as soon as I saw the Marvel Legends Vulture at the 2017 Toy Fair, I knew Hasbro had done right by us: this Vulture Build-A-Figure is spectacular

Marvel Collector’s Gallery Punisher & Animated Thor Statues!

Close-Up of Marvel Collector Gallery The Punisher 10 Inch Statue

One of the biggest surprises for me at Star Wars Celebration Orlando this April was that Gentle Giant Ltd. actually brought a handful of never-before-seen Marvel statue prototypes to show off at their booth at the event, including Punisher and Star-Lord statues and a new Skottie Young Thor Marvel Babies statue. I’ve been mightily looking forward to the pre-order for at least one of those pieces ever since, and the time has come: the Marvel Collector’s Gallery Punisher and Animated Thor statues are now up for order!

Hot Toys Homecoming Spider-Man Deluxe 1/6 Figure Up for Order!

Hot Toys Homecoming Spider-Man Deluxe Figure Wearing Hoodie and Blazer

Ever since we found out that Spider-Man would officially be in the Captain America: Civil War movie close to two years ago, fans have been drooling over the prospect of a new 12″ Hot Toys MCU Spider-Man in his movie costume. We didn’t get a Civil War version for licensing reasons, and the first Homecoming Spidey turned out to be the neat-o–but definitely not classic–Homemade Suit Version. But finally, the one fans really want is on the way: the Hot Toys Spider-Man Homecoming Deluxe figure is now up for order!
