Of the hundreds of new products that I saw at the 2014 Toy Fair International, the most enigmatic one turned out to be one of the smallest. Within a couple seconds of walking into the Funko booth, I saw a couple orange Deadpool Mystery Minis variants on display. I asked two of the workers at the booth about this mysterious Funko orange Deadpool, but neither knew the details on it. I should have kept asking, though, because on this week’s Marvelicious Toys Podcast Issue 111, they spill the goods on exactly where this orange Deadpool may be exclusive to…

Marvel Super Hero Mashers definitely are not my favorite action figure line of 2014. In general, they’re a bit too “kiddie” for me, and I wasn’t totally in love with the character selection for the first series. That said, Hasbro may have won me over–just a little bit–with their Toy Fair 2014 Marvel Super Hero Mashers Series 3 reveals. As if Hasbro went into my brain and pulled out four characters that would be ideal lures for me, at last week’s New York Toy Fair 2014 Hasbro debuted the Marvel Mashers Deadpool, Iceman, Red Hulk and Ghost Rider figures!
Continue Reading →The 2014 New York Toy Fair won’t officially begin until tomorrow (though there’s lots of cool Hasbro news still to come today), but Funko has decided to get fans psyched up a day early by previewing one of their big news line: Funko Fabrikations 6″ plush toys. This is relevant because the line will include Marvel characters, beginning with the Funko Fabrikations Deadpool plush that is now up for pre-order and shipping in spring 2014!
Continue Reading →Though the first photos of Funko Marvel Mystery Minis Series 1 leaked out a little bit earlier this month, we’ve had to wait a bit for Funko to confirm the assortment and send out hi-res images of the set. Well, not only has Funko done that today–they’ve also shown off the packaging for the Marvel Funko Mystery Minis, shared the rarity scale for the figures and put Marvel Mystery Minis Series 1 up for order! And if you want a complete set of Marvel Mystery Minis, be prepared to spend a lot of money buying blind boxes and hunting for the rarest figures…
Continue Reading →Marvel mini busts really seem to be a dying breed, with industry powerhouse Bowen Designs having not put a new one up for sale in many months and Gentle Giant LTD staggering their few Marvel bust releases throughout the year. So every Marvel mini bust that does get revealed is a big deal, even when that reveal is a simple repaint. Such is the case with Gentle Giant’s newest item reveal: the Previews Exclusive X-Force Deadpool Mini Bust…
Continue Reading →Last week Sideshow teased a new version of their super-popular Deadpool Premium Format Figure for Black Friday, and they were true to their word–the X-Force Deadpool Premium Format Figure is now up for order!
X-Force Deadpool’s got a different color costume, different hands and accessories, a different base, and one less head! In some ways I think this is an improvement over the original Deadpool–and in some ways, not so much…
Continue Reading →One cool thing about being a Marvel collector is that with the sheer magnitude of the number of different items released every year, you’re liable to run into things you didn’t even know existed when you’re out shopping casually. This doesn’t happen to me often (at all), but this weekend I stumbled across one of this year’s most bizarre Marvel lines: the new Kidrobot Marvel Labbit Vinyl Figures Blind Box series! If you’ve ever dreamed of owning Galactus in the form of a small plastic rabbit, now’s your chance…
Continue Reading →If you read my blogs regularly, you know I’m majorly obsessive compulsive–especially when it comes to toys. It’s for that reason that I don’t buy a lot of Marvel Funko POP! Vinyls, even though I love vinyl figures and the designs that Funko comes up with. The paint apps quality control on Funko POP! Vinyls can be very hit or miss, so rather than make myself nuts, I’ll often stay away from characters I can pass on. This Inverse Deadpool Exclusive, however, was not a figure I could easily skip. Does the Funko Deadpool Inverse Variant POP! vinyl pass the QC test?
Continue Reading →Well, we might as well start calling it “San Diego Deadpool Con 2013”, because another Marvel exclusive has been announced for the show, and yes–it’s also Deadpool themed. You can always count on Diamond Select Toys to come up with at least one totally unexpected, off-the-wall Marvel Minimates SDCC exclusive set each year. And, well–I’d venture to say this is that one, this year. It’s the San Diego Comic-Con 2013 Exclusive Deadpools Assemble Minimates set!
