When Avengers Infinity War hit theaters two years ago, it introduced millions of fans to villains they were likely not very familiar with: the Black Order. The four “Children of Thanos” turned out to be a prominent and powerful force in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the figures of the quarter were spread out over a year and very difficult for many fans to acquire. But Hasbro has come to the rescue of those collectors in need: an Amazon EXCLUSIVE Marvel Legends Children of Thanos box set containing the whole Black Order–and an updated Endgame Thanos!–is now up for order!

Hasbro had some big announcements and reveals at their Pulse Con 2020 Marvel panel today, but the biggest of all (dimensionally-speaking, at least!) was the latest addition to their beloved 1:1 role-playing items line: the Marvel Legends Stormbreaker Life Size Replica is now up for order! Not only is this the largest Marvel Legends prop replica Hasbro has ever done, but it’s also the most expensive (other than the actual metal Captain America shield). Does Thor’s mighty axe from the Avengers movie look worth it?
Continue Reading →I got sidetracked over the course of the past week, so this latest figure preview is arriving a bit late. But hey, in this case, that seems pretty appropriate—because it’s a preview of a figure that feels like it’s being solicited fashionably late! While basically every other company took orders for their Avengers Infinity War figures way back in 2018, Medicom Toy is just now adding a new addition to their own lineup from the movie: the MAFEX Infinity War Captain America figure is now up for order! Is this fashionably late version of Cap still worth a look two years after the movie?
Continue Reading →For whatever crazy reason, Bandai Tamashii didn’t have enough faith in the SH Figuarts Infinity War Thor figure to mass release it. It was a limited web exclusive in Asia, and didn’t get a domestic release at all. Consequently, that Thor Figuarts is hugely expensive and difficult for U.S. collectors to obtain now. But Medicom has wisely stepped up to bat to come to the rescue and fill the void with their own 6” scale import of the Avengers 3 God of Thunder: the MAFEX Thor Infinity War figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →Yesterday I talked about the impressive trio of resin Marvel Premier Collection statues Diamond Select Toys brought to New York Toy Fair 2019, but today let’s look at the latest entries in their ever-improving and extremely popular Marvel Gallery PVC range! As always, DST brought the goods to Toy Fair, with brand new value-priced Marvel Gallery Beast, Proxima Midnight, Goblin Queen and Captain Marvel PVC figures!
Continue Reading →UPDATE 2/7/2010: It took a little while, but Amazon finally has the Avengers Infinity War Hulk figure in-stock and available! Figuarts Hulk has got free shipping and is discounted a few bucks to a less extortionate price. With this being the first time a non-Gladiator Hulk Figuarts figure has ever been available without importing, it’s a safe bet this figure will be a complete sell-through like Thanos and escalate on the aftermarket quickly, so make sure to snap one up soon if you want him…
Continue Reading →It’s become a bit of a tradition each year that an international “Best of Marvel Legends” wave gets released merging many of the difficult-to-acquire movie figures from the prior year into one big MCU wave. Hasbro has produced an intermixed wave like this every year for the past three years, and now it’s confirmed that international collectors will be getting a new Marvel Legends “Best Of” wave for 2019, featuring figures from “Avengers Infinity War” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp”! US collectors need not apply…
Continue Reading →Marvel Gallery by Diamond Select Toys has been one of the big joys to collect in my life this year, so it seems only right that we get another batch of solicitations for the line before 2018 comes to a close! This last wave of solicits for the year includes two statues we knew about—and two that are a complete surprise! The Marvel Gallery Carnage, PS4 Spider-Man, Hulkbuster and Unmasked Mark 50 Iron Man are now up for order!
Continue Reading →Good figures come to those who wait, and after a lengthy development and production time, Diamond Select Toys is almost ready to unleash the remainder of their Marvel Select Infinity War figures! The Disney Store Exclusive Iron Man shocked everyone by being the first-to-market of the movie figures, but his friends that have been up for order for the better part of a year are arriving soon: Avengers Infinity War Marvel Select Iron Spider, Captain America, Thor & Groot!

Tokyo Comic Con 2018 is in full force this weekend, and although this isn’t a show that Hasbro attends, there are ample goodies to check out from other companies such as Hot Toys, Medicom and Kotobukiya. But the company who’s brought the most new Marvel figures to the show is Bandai Japan, who unveiled a plethora of new 6” figures, including SH Figuarts Captain Marvel, Agent Coulson, Nebula, Scarlet Witch, Loki and more!

So rather than focusing on “deals” this Black Friday, let’s look ahead to the future! Just in time for the holidays this week, Diamond Select Toys released their April 2019 solicitations: Marvel Gallery Ebony Maw & Angela and the Legends in 3D Spider-Gwen Bust are now up for order!
Continue Reading →In this day and age where the majority of resin “high-end” statues being produced run half a grand and up, Diamond Select Toys has taken it upon themselves to produce the widest-ranging value-priced line of comic book PVC statues ever. I’ve been one of the most outspoken advocates for the Marvel Gallery statues since they debuted at New York Toy Fair 2016, but I’ve never actually reviewed one—until now. Though the 13” Marvel Gallery Infinity War Thor Statue costs under 45 bucks shipped, it ended up as one of my favorite pieces of Thor merch from the movie…
Continue Reading →Today is likely to forevermore be the saddest day in the history of Marvel, as the iconic genius Stan Lee has left us. It’s a loss we’ll all be feeling for years, but I think also an ideal time to look ahead to the future of the company that Stan Lee made a legend (and vice versa). And what better series to look at than what’s been announced for the 2019 Marvel Legends Avengers 4 Figures lineup, an assortment running the gamut of comic book characters from Stan’s early days through characters from the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe movies…
Continue Reading →When Diamond Select Toys announced their Marvel Select Avengers Infinity War lineup last winter, it sort of threw most collectors for a loop. Captain America, Thor and… Spider-Man? Would the Big Three be incomplete in MS figure form again? But hold the phone—turns out DST had a trump card hidden up their sleeve: the EXCLUSIVE Marvel Select Infinity War Iron Man figure is now up for order… and it’s shipping before any of their other figures from the movie!
Continue Reading →2018 has been the wildest year on record for Marvel collectors, with more figures and collectibles coming from more different companies than ever before! But of the hundreds upon hundreds of relevant new toys that were released this year, one of the absolutely most impressive, popular and difficult to find in stores has been the Hasbro Marvel Legends Infinity Gauntlet Life-Size Replica. But if you haven’t found this amazing Infinity Gauntlet or ordered one online yet, don’t despair–we’ve teamed up with Entertainment Earth to give away one of these incredible Gauntlets absolutely free! Read on for the details…
