Exclusive Funko Hikari Planet X Groot Figure Up for Order!

Posted on by December 12, 2014
Funko Hikari Groot Planet X Exclusive Vinyl Figure Packaged

Back in October, Funko shocked the Funko Hikari Sofubi Vinyl collecting world when they unveiled a whole display case of Funko Hikari Groot vinyl figures at New York Comic Con 2014. We didn’t have long to wait until the first one went up for pre-order the following week, but that was another shocker, as Funko announced the edition size on the standard Groot Hikari figure as 5000–by far the single largest run of any Hikari. It seems like Funko has come back down to Earth for their first Groot variant, though–the Funko Hikari Planet X Groot figure is limited to just 1000 and now up for order!

Hot Toys Winter 2015 Marvel Figures Shipping Update

If you’re a Hot Toys Marvel collector, Christmas may be coming a little bit late this year–as in, early next year! Today, Hot Toys posted a photo of the next Hot Toys products that are about to ship out in Asia, and will be hitting the United States 4-6 weeks after that. The update includes four Marvel Hot Toys sixth scale figures (that are still available for order), some of which we’ve been waiting for for close to a year and a half! Finally arriving in our hands this winter: the Hot Toys Star-Lord, Falcon, Igor Iron Man and Starboost Iron Man!

I Am Rocket Raccoon Costume Hoodie Review & Photos

Dabid Wearing Rocket Raccoon Costume Hoodie

“When it comes to collecting, I know no shame” is my motto. And it’s a good thing that it is, too–because if I did know shame, I probably wouldn’t have been able to take photos to review today’s Rocket Raccoon product. No, it’s not a new Rocket Raccoon action figure, vinyl, LEGO, or even plush toy. This is for the truly hardcore Rocket Raccoon fan–the one who doesn’t care what anyone else thinks or what it costs to look like their favorite character: the I Am Rocket Raccoon Costume Hoodie by We Love Fine costs over $70–is it worth more than you’ve probably ever spent on a sweatshirt?

Entertainment Earth Exclusive Ravagers Dancing Groot POP Vinyl Figure

The masters of Marvel exclusives are at it again! Even though the hotly-anticipated Funko POP! Vinyls Dancing Groot figure isn’t due to hit stores for a few more weeks, Funko already has the very first exclusive variant of the figure lined up.

This one is definitely a niche exclusive that won’t appeal to everyone, but if you’re a Groot completist, the Funko Ravagers Dancing Groot POP Vinyl exclusive figure is now up for order!

Rocket Raccoon NECA Life-Size Action Figure

Life got a lot harder (and more expensive) this month for Rocket Raccoon figure completists, as NECA recently announced the largest and most expensive Rocket Raccoon figure ever.

I own a lot of Rocket Raccoon merch, but nothing as high-end as this: coming in January 2015, the three-foot tall NECA Rocket Raccoon life-size figure is now up for order!

Funko Hikari Groot Vinyl Figure Up for Order! 11″ Tall!

Funko Hikari Groot Vinyl Figure

It was just a week ago that Funko “won” New York Comic Con 2014 for me when they showed off an entire display case filled with previously unannounced Funko Hikari Groot Vinyl Figures at the Toy Tokyo booth. Not wanting to wait too long to cash in on the hype and popularity of Guardians of the Galaxy, Funko has fast-tracked their super-sized 11″ Groot figure, and he’s now expected to arrive this winter: the limited edition Groot Funko Hikari figure is now up for order!

NYCC 2014 Funko Hikari Groot Figures Revealed!

Posted on by October 13, 2014

I had a terrible first hour and a half at New York Comic Con 2014 this year, as I immediately got into the Toy Tokyo line at show opening at noon. At 1:25, after 85 minutes and moving four steps forward, I flipped out and walked off.

BUT–!!

It was worth my meaningless hour and a half in line, because when storming off I caught sight of the just-revealed Funko Hikari Groot vinyl figures!

Baby Groot Life-Size Model Announced! (Dragon Models)

Posted on by September 25, 2014
Dragon Studios Baby Groot Life Size Model

Given that Baby Groot is all the rage after his breakout popularity following the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, it’s not a shocker that some Marvel merchandiser would cash in on the Baby Groot phenomenon with a life-size Baby Groot statue. What is a bit surprising, however, is the company doing so.

Dragon Models doesn’t get a whole lot of headlines, but they’ve earned this one today–the Dragon Models 7″ Baby Groot life-size model is up for order!

Marvel Disney Infinity 2.0 Yondu Figure Confirmed!

Disney Infinity Yondu Figure

Poor Yondu gets no respect. Hasbro passed him by for the Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy series. There’s no Hot Toys Yondu figure in the works, nor is there a LEGO Yondu minifigure on the way. Even Funko opted to leave Yondu out of the first series of Funko Guardians of the Galaxy POP! Vinyls figures. But finally, Yondu is about to get his due! Today, Disney announced that a Disney Infinity Yondu figure is in development, and Yondu will be a playable character in the Disney Infinity 2.0 Marvel video game!

Marvel Disney Infinity Guardians of the Galaxy Figures Pre-Order!

Disney Infinity Rocket Raccoon Figure Packaged

If you’re like me (and you must be at least a little bit like me, or you wouldn’t be on this blog reading this post), you were woefully disappointed that no developer stepped up to bat to create a Guardians of the Galaxy video game to coincide with the blockbuster movie’s release. (Movie tie-in video games are almost always duds, mind you, but it would have been nice nonetheless.) But fear not, fellow Guardians of the Galaxy fanatics! Disney themselves is going to fill the void and give us the Guardians of the Galaxy gaming action we’ve been craving–and toys to go with it! The Disney Infinity Guardians of the Galaxy Play Set and all five members of the Disney Infinity Guardians of the Galaxy figures are now up for order!

Funko Rocket Raccoon POP! Vinyls Review & Photos

Funko Rocket Raccoon POP Vinyl Figure Review

This has been an unusually quiet week for Marvel toy news, but that’s fine with me, as I’ve got a huge backlog of stuff to photograph and review. In fact, things have been so busy this summer that I never even got around to reviewing one of my favorite Funko figures of the entire year.

It’s the figure I liked so much, I bought it three times (once with flocked fur and once with an, uh, exclusive sticker): the Guardians of the Galaxy Funko POP! Vinyls Rocket Raccoon figure!

Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon Variant Figure Marvel Unlimited Plus

2014 has been the unofficial Year of Rocket Raccoon, with more Rocket Raccoon figures and toys being released in this year than every other year of Rocket’s 38 years of existent combined. Everything is perfect so long as you want movie-style Rocket Raccoon collectibles–but comic-based Rocket Raccoon toys have been non-existent in 2014. Luckily, Hasbro is stepping up to give us a new Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon exclusive repaint–but he won’t come cheap…

Funko POP! Vinyls Howard the Duck Figure Bobblehead

They say that there’s a first time for everything–and now I believe it. For the very first time, a Howard the Duck figure (that isn’t a pack-in with another figure) is going to be released by a major toy company. No, really. What company is daring enough and has a fast enough turnaround time to capitalize on Howard the Duck’s cameo during the post-credits scene of Guardians of the Galaxy? As if there was ever any doubt: it’s Funko! The Funko Howard the Duck POP Vinyls figure is now up for order!

Baby Groot Dancing Funko POP Vinyls Figure

Guardians of the Galaxy was a rare heavily-promoted blockbuster summer movie that really and truly did surprise almost everyone with its success and quality. And while most merchandisers were banking on Rocket Raccoon and/or Star-Lord to become everyone’s favorite characters from the film, the runaway favorite character from the movie turned out to be the most-loved tree man ever: Groot! And to celebrate the beloved Guardians of the Galaxy mid-credits scene, a Funko Dancing Baby Groot POP! Vinyls figure is now up for pre-order!

LootCrate Exclusive Funko Groot Glow in the Dark POP Vinyl Figure

Yesterday I learned the identity of the much-talked-about August 2014 LootCrate Exclusive Funko POP! Vinyls figure. I then spent more hours than any sane person would wrestling with myself over whether or not to post spoilers for the LootCrate. Finally, I decided that it’s worth risking eternal damnation if it allows a few more Marvel collectors to get in before the deadline for one of the coolest Marvel Funko exclusives ever. You’ve got until midnight tonight to sign up for this month’s LootCrate and get the LootCrate Exclusive Funko Groot Glow-in-the-Dark POP Vinyl!

UPDATE: The August 2014 Loot Crate is now sold out! If you want the Funko GITD Groot POP Vinyl figure, it’s time to start stalking the online market for him!
