And what better place to begin than with an exclusive from the King of Exclusives: Funko!

Funko Guardians of the Galaxy Dorbz Review & Photos

Guardians of the Galaxy Dorbz Figures Released

Ever since I saw them at the Funko booth at the New York Toy Fair 2015 back in February, visions of Vinyl Sugar Dorbz figures have danced in my head. I got my grubby hands on the debut figure in the first Marvel Collector Corps box, but today I received what I was really waiting for–my Guardians of the Galaxy Dorbz arrived from Entertainment Earth! And now that I’ve had a chance to photograph and play with them all, I can confidently say that they are every bit as a-DORBZ-able as I expected…

Funko Angry Groot POP Vinyl Figure Revealed & Photos!

Funko Angry Groot POP Vinyl Figure Prototype Brown

As soon as the Guardians of the Galaxy movie hit theaters last summer and the Groot craze began, demand for the Groot Funko POP Vinyl figure exploded and it took months for supply to catch up to the demand. And then came the Funko Dancing Baby Groot POP! Vinyl figure. Four more Groot variants later, and I figured we were all done with POP Groot figures. But wait, there’s more–! A couple of surprise prototypes surfaced today, confirming the impending arrival of yet more Funko POP Vinyl Groot figures…

Funko Hikari Green Regeneration Groot Review & Photos!

Hot Topic Exclusive Funko Hikari Life Force Groot Figure

When I first saw the unannounced Funko Hikari Groot variants debut five months ago at New York Comic Con 2015, I knew I was destined to one day have a green Groot Hikari vinyl Sofubi figure of my very own. It’s been a reasonably long wait, but the Hot Topic Exclusive Funko Regeneration Groot Hikari finally turned up for sale online this month!

Now that I’ve got him in my hands, is this very unique Hikari Groot Vinyl figure everything I dreamed he would be…?

Toy Fair: Vinyl Sugar Super Deluxe Deadpool Groot Rocket!

New York Toy Fair 2015 Vinyl Sugar Super Deluxe Deadpool Groot

All good things must come to an end, and I’ll be wrapping up the Marvel toys portion of my New York Toy Fair 2015 coverage over the next day or two. But before the end comes, there’s a few more things I want to talk about from the show. Earlier this week I posted my impressions of the nearly two-dozen Vinyl Sugar Dorbz Marvel figures, but Funko brought along a far smaller assortment of a larger and way more expensive line from the new brand as well: the Vinyl Sugar Super Deluxe Deadpool, Groot and Rocket Raccoon figures!

Toy Fair 2015: Vinyl Sugar Marvel Dorbz Series 1 Photos!

New York Toy Fair 2015 Dorbz Marvel Figures

As we counted down the days to New York Toy Fair 2015, Funko started posting mysterious teaser images for Marvel vinyls labeled as “Vinyl Sugar Dorbz”. I had a hunch regarding exactly what this new imprint was, and at the 2015 Toy Fair Funko confirmed my suspicions.

A new line of 3″ vinyl Marvel figures is coming this year–and it’s kicking off with twenty-three 3″ Vinyl Sugar Dorbz Marvel and Guardians of the Galaxy figures and two XL Dorbz!

Funko Fabrikations Groot & Baymax at New York Toy Fair 2015!

Funko Guardians of the Galaxy Groot Fabrikation

While Funko only had a whopping two new Marvel POP! Vinyls to debut at New York Toy Fair 2015 over the weekend, that’s not to say that Marvel was underrepresented–at all. In fact one of the smallest Funko imprints premiered two all-new, previously unannounced figures at the show that are coming this spring: Funko Fabrikations Groot from “Guardians of the Galaxy” and Baymax from “Big Hero 6” are now up for order!

Hot Toys Thanos Figure Up for Order! MMS 280

Hot Toys Thanos MMS 280 Figure with Throne

Hot Toys doesn’t have the best track record of releasing major villains from many of the Marvel movies that they’ve manufactured toys for. We didn’t get a Hot Toys Malekith, or a Killian, or an Amazing Spider-Man 2 Green Goblin. We have a grand total of zero Hot Toys X-Men villains, and even Robert Redford couldn’t earn himself the chance to be immortalized in Hot Toys form. But while some big bads just don’t make the cut, there are others that are just too important to be ignored: the Hot Toys Thanos figure is now up for order!

Funko Ravagers Rocket Raccoon POP Vinyl Exclusive Figure!

Funko Ravagers Rocket Raccoon POP Vinyls Exclusive Variant Figure

Going into the Guardians of the Galaxy movie release last summer, everyone (including me) had pegged Rocket Raccoon as the character who would be the breakout star of the film. Things didn’t work out that way. Instead, Groot (and Dancing Baby Groot) ended up claiming the hearts and minds of millions of moviegoers in 2014–as well as the bulk of new collectibles shown off since the movie’s premiere. But while he’s playing second fiddle to Groot, Rocket Raccoon still has quite a rabid fanbase of his own–and they’ll be jazzed to see that a new exclusive Funko Ravagers Rocket Raccoon POP! Vinyl figure is now available for order!

Disney Infinity Green Goblin Ronan & Yondu Figures Released!

Disney Infinity Ronan Green Goblin Yondu Figures

Over the weekend I discussed the newest three Marvel Super Hero Mashers figures to hit stores (Agent Venom, Hobgoblin and A-Bomb). But that’s not the only ultra-successful-but-only-quasi-popular-with-collectors Marvel toy line to have a new trio of figures released this past week! Another batch of new Marvel figures have also arrived, and it’s a new threesome of Disney Infinity figures: the Disney Infinity Yondu, Ronan and Ultimate Green Goblin are now available for order!

Funko Thanos Yondu Collector Ronan POP Vinyls Revealed!

Thanos Funko POP Vinyls 2015 Figure Revealed

The Funko Guardians of the Galaxy POP! Vinyls lineup was wildly successful beyond Funko’s expectations, and that’s why Funko is expanding the line in 2015 with a quintet of villainous Guardians of the Galaxy Funko POP Vinyls to combat the team!

Coming in March 2015: Funko Yondu, Nebula, Ronan, the Collector–and a super-sized 6″ Funko Thanos POP! Vinyl figure are now up for order!

Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man Figure Revealed

Against all odds and expectations, Hot Toys announced earlier this week that they would be debuting the insanely-anticipated Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man and Thanos figures at the Hong Kong Toy Soul 2014 event this week.

We had to wait a couple hours for the event to officially begin before they were put on display, but Hot Toys was true to their word: the Hot Toys Thanos and Hulkbuster Iron Man sixth scale figures are in the house!

Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man Ultron Thanos Figures Announced!

Hot Toys Thanos Ultron Hulkbuster Iron Man Announced

A combination of being super-sick and super-busy has left me super-behind on covering the latest Marvel Hot Toys news from the past couple of days, but now it’s time to catch up on some of the biggest Hot Toys announcements in quite some time. While many toy and collectible companies are quieting down now and keeping their upcoming products under wraps until the New York Toy Fair 2015 in February, Hot Toys is closing out 2014 in a huge way–with the impending debuts of the heavily-demanded Hot Toys Ultron, Hot Toys Thanos and Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man sixth scale figures!
