Between New York Toy Fair and the various comic-cons, I feel like I usually get a pretty complete picture of all the Marvel toys Hasbro is releasing in a given year. But today I was struck totally by surprise by an entire series of action figures I hadn’t even heard existed: an animated Guardians of the Galaxy figures series has appeared for sale online! And believe it or not, the team is complete with every member–even Drax and Gamora…

Hasbro is making a lot of people’s dreams come true with the 2017 Marvel Legends X-Men figures series that they announced tonight at San Diego Comic-Con 2016. But not every long-desired character that was revealed at the SDCC 2016 Hasbro Marvel panel is a mutant! There’s a Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends 2017 figures wave that’s been announced as well, and that will give fans some most-wanted characters including Marvel Legends Darkhawk, Vance Astro and a Titus Build-A-Figure!

And the Hasbro Marvel Legends SDCC 2016 news keeps right on coming! While I was watching the Marvel Live Stream earlier today while writing another post, what should appear on my screen but the first three Marvel Legends 2017 figures! I was watching the Marvel Live Stream myself and screen-capping these figures as they appeared, so if you borrow my images to share–credit us, please. (Or not. It’s up to you.) Regardless, we got our first look at the goodness coming our way in 2017: Marvel Legends Angela, Disco Dazzler and Sam Alexander Kid Nova!

Day One of San Diego Comic-Con 2016 is underway! Hasbro is still keeping the bulk of their major Marvel Legends announcements under wraps until the SDCC Hasbro Marvel panel, but they’ve still shown off a healthy number of upcoming, never-before-seen figures during the first day of the convention as well. Among these showings are eleven new Marvel Legends 4″ figures, which happen to include a despot Hulk, a living tree, an anthropomorphic raccoon and yes–even the world’s best squirrel mercenary, Squirrel Pool!

Two years ago, Funko produced a pretty extensive and well-rounded Guardians of the Galaxy POP Vinyls series, which I was honestly totally satisfied with… with one exception! While we got POPs of everyone from Thanos to Yondu to Howard the Duck, my favorite cameo character from the movie was missing. But no longer–the first Specialty Series Funko POP Vinyls Cosmo the Space Dog is now up for order! And he’s got an anthropomorphic friend accompanying him: Dorbz Howard the Duck!

Ever since the first four members of the Hot Toys Guardians of the Galaxy figures set were put up for order in 2014 (yes, 2014), fans have been waiting (im)patiently for Drax to complete the team. But despite intermittently being shown at events, Drax never came.
Many collectors had given up hope the GOTG would ever be complete. But doubt no longer: the Hot Toys Drax sixth scale figure is now up for order!

Before the ridiculousness of the overblown #WheresRey campaign, fans asked a less preposterous question: “Where’s Gamora?” Despite a fair number of Gamora figures released in several major lines in 2014, she legit did have less merch produced and appear on less GOTG paraphernalia than any other main character in the movie. But now Sideshow is giving Gamora a smidge of revenge: the Sideshow Exclusive Gamora Premium Format Figure statue is now up for order!

UPDATE 12/15/2015: The Guardians of the Galaxy Tsum Tsums–including a gigantic Extra-Large Groot Tsum–are now available for order online!
My wife is super-tolerant, but she HATES Tsum Tsums for some reason. She is not going to be pleased when she sees big Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon and huge Groot in our home…

Returning home from a little bit of late holiday shopping, I discovered what just may constitute a Christmas miracle: UPS had made a Sunday morning delivery of my December 2015 Funko Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Collector Corps Box!
I’d heard some early criticism about the contents of this box, so I was skeptical, but after unboxing the Guardians of the Galaxy box, this turns out to be my favorite Collectors Corps box so far…

It seems like only yesterday that I was unboxing my Funko Marvel Collector Corps Villains box at Halloween, but the latest deadline has snuck up on us again: there’s only a week and a half left to order the Guardians of the Galaxy Collector Corps box! And while Funko is remaining as tight-lipped as always with regards to the contents of the December 2015 box, they’ve posted a teaser photo and video that have strengthened the rumors circulating…

Ordinarily there’s just about nothing on Earth that could make me happy to rebuy Blu Ray movies that I already own. Of course, ordinarily said Blu Rays don’t come packaged in gorgeous new packaging and with a 1:1 prop replica from one of my favorite movies of all-time (which just so happens to not be set on Earth): the Amazon Exclusive Marvel Phase 2 Collection set with Morag Orb replica is now up for order!

If you snoozed on the October 2015 Marvel Collector Corps Villains Box, you lose-d, because as of yesterday, that box is totally sold out and no longer available via the Funko Marvel Collector Corps website! But when one door (mystery box?) closes, another opens up–and in this case, that mystery box will be themed after 2014’s most popular Marvel movie! Coming this winter–the December 2015 Marvel Collector Corps Guardians of the Galaxy box! But the big question is: what’s left to put in it that hasn’t been done before…?

We’re still more than a third of a year away from Christmas, but the question of what the “cheap holiday gift of choice to give superhero fan coworkers and casual friends” for 2015 is has now been answered.
I really should have seen this coming, but just like with the Mandarin in Iron Man 3, I did not: a red-and-green, Christmas themed Guardians of the Galaxy Funko Holiday Dancing Groot POP Vinyl is now up for order!

In a span of less than one month, Hot Toys has revealed or put up for sale three of the four most fervently-demanded Marvel Cinematic Universe characters that previously had not been produced in the Movie Masterpiece Series: Maria Hill, Pepper Potts and Quicksilver. At this point, there’s only one major character that fans have been crying out for whose fate has been up in the air–but now it appears that a Guardians of the Galaxy Hot Toys Drax figure is finally on the way (again) as well!
