Hot Toys Helicarrier Model Captain America The Winter Soldier

Well, here’s a teaser that I’d be willing to bet nobody saw coming. With San Diego Comic-Con 2014 set to begin in just another day, Hot Toys is still sending out preview images to whet collectors’ appetites. And while many of these SDCC 2014 previews have been fairly typical stuff like new Marvel Hot Toys figures and accessories, Hot Toys hit us with something really out of the blue today.

We won’t know the details until the con opens, but apparently a high-end Hot Toys SHIELD Helicarrier vehicle model is on the way!

SDCC 2014 Exclusive Kotobukiya Grey Hulk ARTFX+ Statue

Just because we’re only three weeks away from San Diego Comic Con 2014 doesn’t mean that every company has played all its cards already as far as Marvel SDCC 2014 exclusives go!

Kotobukiya SDCC 2014 Metallic Spider-Woman Bishoujo Statue

I was blindsided earlier this week when Kotobukiya announced that they were releasing a Bishoujo Psylocke Classic X-Men Version statue as a SDCC 2014 exclusive. I love Psylocke, so I wasn’t complaining, but I had been absolutely certain that the Kotobukiya SDCC 2014 Bishoujo exclusive would be a variant of the Spider-Woman Bishoujo statue. Well, as it turns out, I was right! Coming to San Diego Comic-Con 2014–the super-limited Metallic Version Spider-Woman Bishoujo statue!

Though Kotobukiya stole his spotlight away by announcing a red-and-gold Iron Man variant on the same day as his painted premiere, the black-and-gold Marvel Now Kotobukiya Iron Man ARTFX+ statue is now fully revealed and available for order!

Marvel Mashers Loki & Doc Ock Figures Released & Photos!

Marvel Super Hero Mashers Loki Figure Close-Up

It’s the toy collecting equivalent of the irresistible force meeting the unmovable object! I’ve been fiercely adamant in my stance that I was never going to pick up any of the Hasbro Marvel Super Hero Mashers figures, as I thought they were pretty much the most ludicrous thing ever the first time that I saw them.

But Hasbro has found my weakness, and has moved in to exploit it: Loki toys! The Marvel Mashers Loki and Doc Ock figures have now been released!

Kotobukiya ArtFX+ Black Widow Statue Released

Things have been pretty quiet on the Marvel Kotobukiya statues front ever since they released the Avengers Hulk ARTFX+ statue that I reviewed last month.

But while we’re still waiting for the pre-order and painted prototype photos of the last statue in the ARTFX+ Avengers Now lineup (Iron Man), we’ve got something new to get excited about–the second (and in my opinion, best-looking) of the Kotobukiya Avengers has now been released: the Kotobukiya Black Widow ArtFX+ Statue is now in-stock and ready to be ordered!

Marvel Infinite Series 3 Ares Figure Hasbro 2014

Even though many collectors have yet to see a single Marvel Infinite Series 1 figure on shelves (not one of my local stores have even stocked them yet), but Hasbro is going full steam ahead with the Marvel Universe 2014 successor line of figures! Hasbro gave us a glimpse at Marvel Infinite Series 3 figures at the 2014 Toy Fair in February, but today Hasbro allowed pre-orders for Marvel Infinite Series Wave 3 to open, revealing fantastic case ratios and some unreleased figures we thought might be lost forever…

Funko Agent Coulson POP Vinyls Figure Review & Photos

Funko Agent Coulson POP! Vinyl Figure Review

The vastly under-appreciated Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD is my favorite non-animated TV series in many years, and I am absolutely starved for merch for the show. Despite tying in with the latest Marvel movies and having a high-profile primetime television spot, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. toys are non-existent. So when the Funko Agent Coulson POP Vinyls figure went up for order on Entertainment Earth, I instantly knew he would be mine. Now that the Agents of SHIELD Agent Coulson Funko POP! Vinyl has arrived, I’m both overjoyed and a little disappointed…

Marvel Kotobukiya ArtFX+ Thor Avengers Statue Close-Up

I’d honestly had my doubts about the Kotobukiya Marvel NOW! Avengers ArtFX+ statues line, but whatever skepticism I had was washed away by the highly-impressive Kotobukiya Hulk ArtFX+ statue that I reviewed earlier this week.

I’m on a veritable high at the moment when it comes to these Kotobukiya Avengers statues, and that’s why this was the perfect time for Kotobukiya to debut the official photos of the fifth statue in the series: the Kotobukiya Thor ArtFX+ statue is now up for pre-order!

After salivating over the Kotobukiya Marvel NOW! Avengers ArtFX+ statues since last summer, the first (and biggest!) character of the series is now shipping to stores: the 1/10 Avengers Kotobukiya Hulk ArtFX+ Statue!

Non-coincidentally, it’s time for my inaugural Kotobukiya review, focusing on the aforementioned Hulk statue. The Kotobukiya Avengers Hulk statue is now in-stock and available for order–but is it worth your sixty bucks?

Funko Captain America The Winter Soldier Black Widow Vinyl Figure Review

Ordinarily I don’t like ordering Marvel Funko POP Vinyls online, as I’m pretty OCD about paint applications. But, well, I was having trouble finding the Captain America The Winter Soldier POP Vinyls in my area, Amazon had the Funko Black Widow POP Vinyl for $9 shipped, and now she’s sitting on my desk.

Is this Black Widow Funko POP Vinyl a little $9 masterpiece? Read on…

Avengers Infinite Series Wasp Figure Packaged Marvel Universe 2014 Hasbro

Even though the first wave of the Hasbro Marvel Infinite Series 4″ figures is just starting to hit stores in the last week, the long-wanted Wasp figure is already burning up the aftermarket and selling for $30+.

But fear not, Marvel Universe-scale fans! Help is on the way in the form of a case assortment that at least I think is pretty decent, which brings us two Janet Van Dyne Wasp figures–as well as two of everybody else–per case…

Avengers NECA Battle Damaged Captain America Quarter Scale Figure

After the previously-released Marvel 1/4 NECA Avengers figures such as Iron Man, Captain America, a Thor: The Dark World Thor, quarter-scale figure collectors have been waiting patiently for the long-rumored Hulk figure to join his Avengers brethren. Unfortunately, it looks like those fans are going to have to wait a little more. NECA announced their next Avengers 1/4 scale figure this morning, and it’s a repaint with a new head–the NECA Captain America Battle Damaged quarter-scale figure is now up for order!
