For whatever reason, the Bandai Tamashii SH Figuarts Infinity War figures weren’t as big of a hit as expected domestically, with many of the figures still available a year after orders opened and some even after being discounted. Presumably because of this, we’ve seen a far narrower selection of the Endgame figures getting released in North America, and even seeming sure-things are remaining overseas exclusives. Even the Jade Giant isn’t immune to exclusivity, as he’s not getting a domestic release. But if you’ve got to have him, the SH Figuarts Endgame Hulk figure is up for order in the US on BBTS now…

There are certain things that you just never dare to dream about in collecting. And for me, the very notion that Hot Toys might ever make a high-end sixth scale figure of the original Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider costume—complete with blue hoodie!!—is one of those things.

Reports have been coming in from all over the country for the last few weeks of collectors finding and sometimes being denied the newest Target Exclusive Marvel Legends Spider-Man two-packs locally, but that’s changed over the course of the past week, as Target is now officially stocking and allowing sales of its latest Exclusives: the Kraven’s Last Hunt Two-Pack with Kraven & Symbiote Spidey and the Homecoming Two-Pack with MJ & Academic Decathalon Spidey!

UPDATE 6/5/2019: It’s been close to two months since they started appearing in stores, so I was beginning to doubt we’d ever see this Walgreens Exclusive “Iron Doom” pop up online at all. But for those still looking for it, rejoice: the Walgreens Exclusive Marvel Legends Infamous Iron Man Doctor Doom figure is now up for order online!

Given the mania and wild aftermarket prices surrounding the sold-out Hot Toys Spider-Man Homecoming sixth scale figures in the aftermath of Avengers Endgame, Hot Toys would have seemed crazy business-wise to not double-dip in the red-and-blue Spidey MMS well. And to little surprise, that’s just what they’re doing: a reissue of the Hot Toys Spider-Man movie figure as a Far From Home Movie Promo is now up for order! It’s a limited exclusive, so if you missed out the first time around, be ready to strike!

This month’s Diamond Select Toys solicitations were a little bit light for Marvel Gallery fans, with just one all-new item offered: McFarlane-style 90s Spider-Man PVC figure. But don’t worry, DST collectors—you won’t have to starve for new offerings, as there are not one, not two, but five new exclusives coming your way this summer: the GameStop Exclusive Mysterio, Emma Frost, Spider-Man Noir and more are now up for order online!

The new Marvel Legends 80 Years figure reveals and pre-orders over the past two weeks—Cowboy Wolverine and Big Time Spider-Man—have gotten a bit of a varied reaction from fans. But tonight, Hasbro has freshly solicited another item in the series—and I suspect this one will NOT be getting such a tepid response: the Marvel Legends Hulk vs. First Appearance Wolverine Two-Pack is now up for order!

Hasbro has had far more hits than misses since the Return of Marvel Legends began in 2012, but occasionally there’s been a hiccup along the way. One of those snafus came in the Arnim Zola series, when the black Stealth Suit Spider-Man figure arrived and was, well… green. Fans have always been discontent about that release, and after 7 years, a “make-good” is on the way: an exclusive Marvel Legends Big Time Spider-Man figure is now up for order!
