Figma Avengers Iron Man Thor Captain America Figures

One of the few things that I was disappointed to see no-show last week’s New York Toy Fair 2014 was the longtime-coming Figma Avengers action figures. I thought these 1/12 scale figures might show up at the Good Smile booth, but no dice. But fear not, import figure fans! Fairly comprehensive photo previews of the Figma Avengers Thor, Captain America and Iron Man have started to appear in Japanese magazines, giving us our best look at the trio yet! Do they look good? Well, yes… and no…

The Falcon Marvel Select Captain America The Winter Soldier Figure Close-Up

We’ve known for months now that Diamond Select Toys has a pair of Marvel Select Captain America The Winter Soldier figures scheduled to come out this spring. We’ve previously seen an image of the Marvel Select Stealth Captain America released online, and this week’s American International Toy Fair 2014 was the first chance to see Cap in person. But Stealth Cap didn’t come alone–at the New York 2014 this week, we also got to see the Marvel Select Falcon figure fly in for his grand debut!

Captain America The Winter Soldier Marvel Legends Figures Released

Once the Spider-Man Marvel Legends variants started showing up, we knew it was only a matter of time until the second wave of Captain America Marvel Legends figures followed–and that time is now! If you’re on the hunt for the movie Marvel Legends Black Widow figure (or the new Winter Soldier), it’s time to hit your local stores. The Captain America Marvel Legends Winter Soldier movie figures have now been released in the United States!

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!

Bowen Designs Action Red Skull vs Captain America Full-Size Statues

Apologies in advance to all the non high-end collectors for talking about another Marvel statue, but, well… that’s what there is to talk about this weekend (everything else will come at next weekend’s New York Toy Fair 2014!).

Today, we’ve got yet another new release from Bowen Designs, and this one’s been sculpted by the great Randy Bowen himself–the Bowen Designs Red Skull Action Pose statue!

Captain America Marvel Legends 2014 AIM Trooper Review

Marvel Legends A.I.M. Trooper Figure Review

From X-Men to Avengers to All-New X-Factor, you can barely open a Marvel comic lately without tripping over a horde of AIM Troopers. Seriously–it’s like there’s an A.I.M. Trooper infestation going on. Thus, Hasbro has managed to pick the ideal time to take advantage of this renewed prominence of AIM by releasing the first-ever Marvel Legends AIM Trooper figure!

And while the Marvel Legends A.I.M. Soldiers are a total pain to find in stores, they’re well worth the trouble to army-build…

Marvel Minimates Series 18 (Toys R Us) Released & Photos!

Toys R Us Marvel Minimates Series 18 Figures Set

Of all the many, many Marvel licensees out there that make Marvel action figures, I don’t think there’s a single company more prolific than Diamond Select Toys is with their Marvel Minimates line. DST literally releases dozens upon dozens of new Marvel figures each year, spread across Marvel Minimates box sets, specialty store waves and Toys R Us exclusive series. And just in time to end the first month of 2014, the first wave of the year has arrived–TRU Marvel Minimates Series 18!

Captain America Super-Soldier Gear Wave 2 w/ Falcon Figure!

Captain America Rocket Storm Falcon Movie Action Figure Packaged

Thus far, the Captain America Super Soldier Gear figures series have not exactly been a smash hit. I see very few people talking about these Hasbro 3 3/4″ Captain America The Winter Soldier figures, and plenty of every figure–even the shortpacked Red Skull–on retail shelves.

Even so, Hasbro has Super-Soldier Gear Wave 2 ready to ship next month, and it brings a new character to the table collectors will actually want–the Falcon!

Captain America The Winter Soldier Marvel Legends Case Ratios Analysis

Captain America The Winter Soldier Marvel Legends Captain America Figure Packaged

There was never really any doubt that the Captain America The Winter Soldier Marvel Legends figures would be released (Hasbro is legally obligated to complete the Mandroid Build-A-Figure), but it sure is nice to finally get confirmation of exactly when movie figures like Black Widow and The Winter Soldier will be joining our collections!

The Marvel Legends Captain America The Winter Soldier Wave 2 figures are now up for order, and hey–the case ratios aren’t terrific, but they aren’t terrible either…

Marvel Select Elektra & What If Captain America Reissues!

Marvel Select What If Captain America Figure

As I only became an avid collector of Diamond Select Toys’ Marvel Select figures last year, each month the announcement of what Marvel Select figure reissues are scheduled to come out is often just as exciting as the announcement of all-new Marvel Select figures.

And in Summer 2014, Diamond Select Toys has got two great reissues lined up for us including one of the first-ever Marvel Select figures and one of the rarest exclusives in the line: the Marvel Select Elektra and What If? Captain America reissues are now up for order!

Side of Gentle Giant Captain America Stealth Costume Statue

We’re less than three months away from the release of the sure-to-be-blockbuster Captain America: The Winter Soldier movie, so it was only a matter of time until the floodgates opened up to let in the tsunami of high-end Captain America 2 merch! While Hot Toys and Sideshow Collectibles haven’t debuted any of their Captain America The Winter Soldier statues and figures yet, Gentle Giant has drawn first (and second) blood with their Black Widow and Stealth Captain America quarter-scale statues!

Captain America Marvel Legends 2014 Red Skull Review

Posted on by January 15, 2014
Marvel Legends Infinite Series Red Skull with Cosmic Cube

I started off my Captain America Marvel Legends 2014 reviews last week with Baron Zemo, Captain America’s greatest enemy (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it). But Zemo isn’t the only major Captain America villain in this assortment–Cap’s other greatest enemy also got a brand-new Marvel Legends figure to kick off the new year. But while Red Skull is about as popular and recognizable as Captain America villains come, the Captain America Marvel Legends Red Skull figure definitely has its share of shortcomings…

Captain America Marvel Legends 2014 Baron Zemo Review

Marvel Legends Infinite Series Baron Zemo Review

As I’ve said a couple times before, I’m a total Baron Zemo fanboy. So when I came face-to-face with a fresh case of Captain America Marvel Legends 2014 figures at my local Toys R Us, it wasn’t the Marvel Legends AIM Trooper or Hydra Soldier I reached for first–it was Zemo. (I reached out and grabbed the army-builders a half-second later.) And now that it’s come time to start reviewing the 2014 Marvel Legends figures, I’ll begin with Baron Zemo once again…
