Avengers Infinity War may ultimately be the biggest superhero movie of all-time, but there’s still plenty of love for this year’s other two MCU movies. And so, fresh off the DVD release of Black Panther and in anticipation of next month’s theatrical release of Ant-Man and the Wasp, the latest trio of Diamond Select Toys Marvel Gallery PVC figures are all in honor of those “other” movies: the Marvel Gallery Ant-Man, Wasp and Shuri statues are now up for order!

Diamond Select Toys’ Marvel Gallery line of PVC statues is the gift that keeps on giving, bringing us multiple new low-priced statues from Marvel comics and movies virtually every single month. This month is no exception, and the newest offerings are among some of the best that we’ve seen from the line to-date: the Marvel Gallery Iron Spider, Unmasked Star-Lord and Cloak & Dagger statues are now up for order!

I had to do a double-take this morning when I saw that the very first Marvel San Diego Comic-Con 2018 exclusives had been revealed, as it looks like SDCC is swiftly sneaking up on us again! Just like last year, Diamond Select Toys is one of the first companies to the punch. Among their first batch of reveals is a trio of SDCC Exclusive Marvel Gallery statues including a white Phoenix, unmasked X-23 and a Grey Hulk that are now up for order!

As a huge fan of reasonably-priced statues that don’t have a humongous spatial footprint, Christmas comes at least once a month for me when Diamond Select Toys announces new Marvel Gallery PVC statues. And this month, DST has a trifecta of new pieces for our perusal: the Marvel Gallery Venom, Infinity War Iron Man, and movie Black Panther statues are now up for order!

Something magical was lost from the collecting world when Bowen Designs closed down: an expansive line of reasonably-priced, medium-sized resin Marvel statues covering a huge range of characters. But Diamond Select Toys has been bringing the magic back with their Marvel Premier Collection statues line, which gets better with each release. And while I’ve been too lazy to review any up until now, the Marvel Premier Collection Moon Knight I ordered online finally arrived and gave me ample motivation to do so…

Diamond Select Toys had a pretty substantial showing of upcoming Marvel statues at New York Toy Fair 2017, but believe it or not, we’ve already seen over a half-dozen more new pieces not shown at Toy Fair revealed and solicited just this month! The latest addition is a completely unexpected one: a 1:2 Scale Deadpool Bust! And half-scale Wade has a solicitation buddy—the Marvel Gallery Wolverine PVC Statue is also up for order!

It’s been a predictably calm and quiet weekend for Marvel toy news, which makes this another ideal time to jump back and look at some more upcoming Marvel toys revealed last month at New York Toy Fair 2018! And once again, I’ll be revisiting the booth that I thought had the best overall showing at the event: Diamond Select Toys. We knew a Marvel Premier Collection Domino Statue was coming prior to the event, but I didn’t expect how good she would look—or that she would be displayed next to a resin Lady Deadpool Statue!

I was a young teenager when the Maximum Carnage crossover came out in the early 90s–which means I thought it was pretty much the coolest thing in the world. Whether or not it would stand up as a literary masterpiece today (and I have a suspicion it might not), I loved it back then, and had the video game, Toybiz figures… the works. And so, Diamond Select Toys hit all the right nostalgic notes with me at New York Toy Fair 2018 last month, where they revealed a whole Marvel Minimates Maximum Carnage Series…

The Avengers Infinity War wave of toys and collectibles has been washing over us for the past week, but one aspect of collecting for the movie I haven’t talked about yet is Infinity War statues. While most companies like Iron Studios and Kotobukiya have kept mum about any plans for Avengers 3 statues so far, Diamond Select Toys hasn’t been shy about announcing a whole lineup of statues: DST Infinity War Marvel Gallery, Premier Collection and Marvel Milestones statues are now up for order—including a huge Hulkbuster 2.0!

Ordinarily, we get to see several Marvel Select figures debut at a year’s New York Toy Fair. But with the embargo on talking about Avengers Infinity War toys still in effect, we got a singular new Marvel Select reveal at the 2018 Toy Fair. Luckily, it’s one fans have been requesting for years: the X-Men Marvel Select Beast figure is now up for order! And Hank McCoy isn’t alone in the new DST solicitations—a brand new Taco Truck Deadpool Marvel Gallery Statue is also on the way!

Magneto is hands-down one of the most popular and legendary Marvel villains ever, and has had an appropriately large number of statues released to match his reputation. The thing is, most of those large statues are long sold-out and astronomically-priced on the aftermarket, and not everyone can afford a $700 Sideshow Magneto. But Diamond Select Toys had a major reasonably-priced reveal at the 2018 Toy Fair this weekend, and it’s coming sooner than we thought: the Marvel Premier Collection Magneto Statue is now up for order!

Marvel Legends are far and away the most popular line of Marvel figures coming out today, but they’re also far from the only Marvel toys and collectibles out there. I had a chance to visit with most of the other major Marvel toy companies during New York Toy Fair 2018, and was very impressed by many figures and statues that I saw. Here’s my personal, totally opinion-based Top 10 Non-Legends Marvel Toys revealed at this year’s Toy Fair…

Sometimes we have to wait the better part of a year for movie-based Marvel Select figures to arrive (they’re almost always worth the wait), but the latest release arrived like relative lightning—less than three months after the movie he stars in! The enormously anticipated (and also just plain enormous) Marvel Select Thor Ragnarok Gladiator Hulk figure is now shipping—can he take the crown from the Marvel Legends version as the best Ragnarok Hulk out there now?
