Hasbro Amazing Spider-Man 2 Green Goblin Figure Revealed!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Green Goblin Figure Packaged Hasbro

Harry Osborn is my favorite character in any iteration of Spider-Man, but I had my reservations about Dane DeHaan playing Harry Osborn in Amazing Spider-Man 2. As things turned out, Dane DeHaan’s performance as Harry Osborn was one of the brightest spots of that movie (not that that was all that difficult). And while I gagged at some of the illogical and irredeemable actions Harry perpetrated as the Green Goblin, I’ve been wanting a Hasbro action figure of him anyway. And in July 2014, the first Hasbro Amazing Spider-Man 2 Green Goblin figure will arrive!

Hot Toys Electro Figure MMS 246 Photos & Order Info!

Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man 2 Electro MMS 246 Figure Weaving Electricity

I was legitimately more excited for the Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie than any other movie coming out this year that doesn’t have a talking raccoon in it. A month ago, Hot Toys could have sold me pretty much anything with an Amazing Spider-Man 2 logo on it. Then I actually saw the Amazing Spider-Man 2, and I became a whole lot more selective about what I’d buy from that movie. Whatever 1/6 figures Hot Toys produced from the movie would have to be really excellent to get my attention. And as it so happens, the Hot Toys Electro figure that is now up for order looks downright awesome…

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Minimates Exclusives Released & Photos

Toys R Us Exclusive Amazing Spider-Man 2 Minimates Max Dillon & Flashback Spider-Man

If there’s one thing that we’ve learned to count on for each and every Marvel movie that gets released, it’s a corresponding series of Diamond Select Toys’ Marvel Minimates figures! Oftentimes the Minimates series may miss the premiere of the movie it’s tied into, but we’ve grown accustomed to getting movie Minimates without fail (eventually). Toys R Us used to almost always have their own remixed exclusive wave of movie Minimates, but they’ve cut way back in recent years. However, Toys R Us did invest in their own exclusive Amazing Spider-Man 2 Minimates series, and it has now arrived in stores!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Marvel Legends Electro Review & Photos

Marvel Legends Amazing Spider-Man 2 Electro Review

On the eve of the Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie hitting theaters, I figured it was about time I wrote a review for the most high-profile movie Electro action figure. No, it’s not a Hot Toys Electro–they haven’t announced a sixth scale Electro (yet). Nor is it a Marvel Select Electro figure, as DST didn’t have reference materials in time to create a super-detailed Electro. No, this time out the most “high-end” figure is actually coming from Hasbro. Electro is only $17 shipped online right now, but is the Amazing Spider-Man 2 Marvel Legends Electro figure actually any good…?

But while I prepare for that, it’s finally time for me to review some Amazing Spider-Man 2 toys I’ve been holding onto for a while. First up, it’s the Amazing Spider-Man 2 Funko POP!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Green Goblin & Spidey Movie Busts!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Green Goblin Mini Bust Diamond Select Toys

With the once-mighty Bowen Designs unlikely to release a single Marvel mini bust in 2014 (and maybe not ever again), superhero mini busts definitely appear to be on life support. Even so, Diamond Select Toys will give Marvel bust collectors at least something to smile about later this year, when they release a pair of Marvel mini busts based on 2014’s not-quite-hottest Marvel movie: the Amazing Spider-Man 2 Green Goblin and Spider-Man mini busts are now available for order!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Hot Toys Rhino 1/6 Revealed & Photos

I can be a pretty jaded toy collector these days, what with the state of the action figure aisle paling in comparison to the days of yesteryear and once-legendary franchises like Star Wars and G.I. Joe on the rocks. Thankfully, there are still some mornings that make it all worthwhile when I can wake up, turn on my phone, and have my eyes bulge out and my jaw drop past its limits. This was one of those mornings. To my complete and utter amazement (and likely the amazement of the entire collecting world), Hot Toys unveiled their GI-freaking-GANTIC 1/6 Amazing Spider-Man 2 Hot Toys Rhino figure today!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Spider-Man Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series Figure MMS 224

With the plethora of Captain America: The Winter Soldier Hot Toys figures that have gone up for order over the past month, you’d be totally forgiven if you forgot Amazing Spider-Man 2 Hot Toys figures would be on the way as well (I sure did). But we’re just over two weeks away from the Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie release date of May 2, 2014, and Hot Toys has deigned that it’s time to get things started!

There was no doubt who the first figure released for the movie would be–the Sideshow Exclusive Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man 2 is now up for order!

Hasbro Amazing Spider-Man 2 Electro 4″ Figure Review & Photos

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Spider Strike Super Charged Electro 4" Figure

If you’re like me and try to collect at least one of every Marvel movie character in the Hasbro Marvel Universe 4″ figure scale, Hasbro has made deciding which Amazing Spider-Man 2 Electro figure to buy very, very simple: they only made one. Amidst a sea of wacky, crazy Spider-Man variations (Web Wing Spider-Man?!), there’s the Hasbro Amazing Spider-Man 2 Power Charged Electro figure. If you want every movie character released, you’ll need this 4″ Electro figure. But once you have him, well… you might wish you didn’t…

Metallic Electro Funko POP Vinyls Exclusive Hot Topic Boxed

It’s been over three weeks since the last unannounced Funko Marvel POP! Vinyls exclusive turned up in stores.

Toy Fair 2014: MAFEX Amazing Spider-Man 2 DX Set Revealed!

Toy Fair 2014 Amazing Spider-Man 2 DX MAFEX Set Revealed

Of all the things that I was not expecting to see while wandering around the Diamond Comics Distribution booth’s display cases at this week’s New York Toy Fair 2014, a brand-new, unannounced deluxe MAFEX action figure set would have been near the top of the list. While we learned last month than MAFEX had a brand-new Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie figure on the way for later in 2014, what we didn’t know until Toy Fair 2014 is that they were also planning on releasing a special MAFEX Amazing Spider-Man 2 DX Set with a ton of accessories. Of course, the catch is that those accessories will cost you. A lot.

LEGO Marvel 2014 Sets Finally Released & Photos!

LEGO 2014 Marvel Super Heroes Sets Released

When speculation hit the net that the major licensed 2014 LEGO sets would be delayed past January 2014 until after the theatrical release of The LEGO Movie (so as not to damage LEGO Movie sets’ early sales), I thought that notion was silly.

But I guess maybe there was something to that rumor after all… the LEGO Movie hit theaters just days ago, and like magic, all of the LEGO Marvel 2014 sets have suddenly appeared in LEGO stores!

Amazing Spider-Man Marvel Legends Wave 2 Case Ratios Revealed!

Spider-Man Marvel Legends Toxin Figure Packaged Marvel Legends 2014

Once I saw that the Hong Kong scrappers had listed the Amazing Spider-Man 2 Marvel Legends variants online earlier this month, I was 100% certain that (for a change) these Marvel Legends variant swap figures would actually be released.

And lo and behold, they actually are coming–Spider-Man Legends Wave 2 is now up for pre-order! Unfortunately, the case ratios for Amazing Spider-Man Marvel Legends Series 2 are every bit as bad as we could have imagined…
