Hasbro launched their inaugural wave of Marvel Legends Spider-Man 2 GamerVerse figures earlier this week, and now they’ve followed up in rapid succession with what’s unquestionably the singular most-wanted character from the video game: the humongous GamerVerse Marvel Legends Venom figure is now up for order! He’s got an oversized 10.5” year of bulk, but an oversized $59 price-tag as well—is this monster of an action figure worth adding to your collection?

Spider-Man 2 swung onto Sony PlayStation 5 video game consoles way back in October 2923, but fans wanting toy versions of specific new suits and characters from the game have had a bit of a wait. That wait is ending, however, as Hasbro launched orders for their first half-dozen Spider-Man 2 Marvel Legends GamerVerse figures this week! As part of what I think is the most Spidey-loaded Hasbro wave of all-time, 5 Spider-Man variants and Black Cat are now up for PO! Will any of them be joining your collection’s Spider-shelf?

Anyone who said they had predicted a Strange Tales series on their Marvel Legends 2024 bingo card is probably lying, but Hasbro has subverted expectations once again with a very diverse and eclectic wave of figures featuring a Build-A-Figure Marvel vs. Capcom fans have been dying for: the exclusive Strange Tales Marvel Legends Blackheart Series featuring Hellverine, Moon Knight and more is now up for order!

Earlier this week I talked about the triad of new offerings from Diamond Select Toys’ latest solicitations, but I need to backtrack and discuss a trio of very popular collectibles being reissued as well: Marvel Select Advanced Suit Spider-Man, Marvel Gallery Emma Frost and the Animated Deadpool statue! Let’s take a look at these previously sold out pieces…

It’s been quite a while since there was a new GameStop Exclusive Marvel Legends figure for fans to look forward to and/or fear missing out on. But that streak came to an end today, with an unexpected Marvel Legends Mister Negative & Inner Demon figures two-pack going up for order! Fans have been waiting for a 6″ Mr. Negative Legends figure for years–will this one satisfy their needs?

This is the first year in ages that I haven’t been travelling to New York City this fall to see Hasbro’s newest products in conjunction with New York Comic Con, but NYCC or no NYCC, Hasbro still has plenty of new Marvel goodness to reveal to us! During Hasbro PulseCon 2020 today, a variety of new collectibles were revealed–including the never-before-seen Marvel Legends Avengers GamerVerse Wave 2 Mister Fixit series that went up for order today, including Falcon, Jocasta, Kang and more!

Although I wasn’t exactly giddy regarding the lineup of the 2020 Marvel Legends Avengers GamerVerse figures series, four of the six figures with Abomination Build-A-Figure parts were comics-based and thus must-buys for me, so I decided to go for broke and ended up buying GamerVerse Iron Man and Ms. Marvel to complete the Build-A-Figure. The Marvel Legends GamerVerse Abomination BAF is selling for 60 bucks by his lonesome on eBay—but is he worth building or buying outright at all?

The Marvel toy news drought continues while the collecting world is mostly on hold because of COVID-19, so let’s take a look at another 2020 Marvel Legends figure review that I’ve had in the queue! Last time I looked at the Spider Armor Mark III figure, which I ended up liking far more than I was expecting to. This time, let’s see if the other Spidey variant in the wave fares as well! The Marvel Legends Velocity Suit Spider-Man figure is required to build the Demogoblin BAF, and is the only pure GamerVerse figure in the wave: is it also any good?

Up until now, I’ve been cherry-picking and talking about the most hyped and most popular figures from the 2020 Spider-Man Marvel Legends Demogoblin Series. But since it’s a requisite to buy all six figures to build the Demogoblin Build-A-Figure, I’m going to have to talk about every figure in the wave—including one of the weirder Spider-Man costumes Hasbro has done to-date! Marvel Legends Spider Armor Mark III is still available online discounted with Prime shipping despite the pandemic—is it worth ordering out for while you’re stuck at home?

With arguably the biggest Hasbro event of the entire year just days away, I didn’t anticipate we’d be seeing anything new up for pre-order in the next few days. But hey–what do I know, right?! And so, Hasbro officially announced and began allowing pre-orders today for the latest GameStop Exclusive: the GamerVerse Marvel Legends Outback Hulk figure is now available exclusively in bundles with the upcoming PS4/Xbox One Avengers game! I was planning on a different version of the video game, so looks like I’m double-dipping…

Square Enix’s Avengers video game is looking to topple 2018’s Spider-Man PS4 game as the king of the Marvel GamerVerse in May, but Spidey isn’t ready to give up his throne for a few more months! And as such, the merch for the best-selling game continues to roll out, expanding with a pair of brand new PVC figures that are GameStop Exclusives: Marvel Gallery Spider-Punk and PS4 Spider-Man on Taxi Cab are now up for order!

When Hot Toys launched pre-orders in the summer for their 14” Venompool 1:6 figure for $400+, I thought that would be one of the wildest solicitations of the year. I mean, 400 bucks for a virtually unknown mobile game mash-up character? Crazy talk. But Marvel newcomer Pop Culture Shock Collectibles is upping the ante in a mind-exploding away: the 40” PCS Venompool 1:3 scale statue goes up for order this afternoon… for $2500! (Yes, you read that right.) Yowza. Let’s have a look…

Back in October, collectors got their first taste of what Pop Culture Shock (PCS) Collectibles can do with their magnificent (and incredibly expensive) 1:3 Spider-Man PS4 resin statue. As gorgeous as that piece is (and it is gorgeous), it’s also out of the price range of 95%+ of collectors. But PCS also had a few affordable buns in the oven: super cheap GamerVerse Spider-Man & Rhino PVC statues are now up for pre-order! And that’s not all—value-priced PVCs of other members of the Sinister Six are seemingly on the way as well…

The popular new joke this year between Hot Toys collectors is that Spider-Man is the new Iron Man, playing off the fact that we’re used to getting many 1/6 Iron Man armors per year and now we’re getting multiple new Spider-Man costumes instead (what with Tony Stark dead now in the MCU and all). But this time out–Spider-Man actually is a new Iron Man armor: the Hot Toys Iron Spider sixth scale figure is now up for order!

While it may seem like every major high-end collectibles company in the world is churning out Marvel products these days, there are actually still some holdouts out there. But that number is decreasing by one this week, as Pop Culture Shock Collectibles will be entering the fray this week with their first-ever Marvel Statue: the PCS 1:3 PS4 Spider-Man GamerVerse Statue Exclusive is now up for order! I saw it at NYCC—was I impressed enough to take notice?
