Exclusive Marvel Titan Hero Iron Legion & Hawkeye Review

Marvel Titan Hero Iron Legion Figure Review

Sometimes there’s a huge intersection between what kids love and what hardcore collectors love… and sometimes there isn’t. While the Marvel Titan Hero line has saleswise been a spectacular success with the masses, the line hasn’t exactly been lovingly embraced by adult collectors. But last week I got a pair of more collector-oriented exclusive Titan Hero figures from Entertainment Earth, and this duo just may earn older collectors’ attention: it’s the Titan Hero Iron Legion & Ultimate Hawkeye figures!

Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 3 Packaged Photos! Hulkbuster!

Marvel Legends Vision Figure Packaged Avengers Series 3

Hasbro must have heard that I was out buying a house today to put more toys into, because when I got home, I’d received an E-Mail with photos of a bunch of new figures that will be joining my (really) extended family this summer! Though we’ve seen and heard exactly zip about the figures since they debuted at New York Toy Fair 2015 (and they won’t go up for pre-order for a little while yet), the official packaged and unpackaged photos of the Hasbro 6″ Marvel Legends Avengers Series 3 figures have now been released!

Marvel Mashers Hulkbuster Iron Man Released & Photos!

Walmart Exclusive Hulk Buster Mashers Figure Released

Most recent Marvel movies have had a clear breakout character, be it Hulk, Loki or the Winter Soldier. Avengers: Age of Ultron is a little bit weird, though, in that its breakout star isn’t a new character at all–it’s an armor! Having generated more hype and merch than just about any other character, it’s a surprise that the kid-focused Marvel Mashers line hasn’t gotten its own Hulkbuster before now. But the wait is at an end–the Mashers Hulkbuster Iron Man has arrived… and it’s exclusive to Walmart!

Hasbro Ultron Mark 1 Age of Ultron 3-Pack Released!

Target Exclusive Iron Man vs Ultron Three-Pack of Figures

A decade ago, I could pretty much plan on at least one store-exclusive Star Wars store figure, vehicle or box set being released per month. These days, though, Marvel has stolen all the store-exclusive mojo (for now), and it seems you can’t throw a rock without hitting a bunch of exclusive Marvel figures. And today, I finally stumbled across an Avengers Age of Ultron 3-Pack I’d been watching out for for months, including the exclusive Hasbro 4″ Ultron Mark 1 figure!

Exclusive Avengers Age of Ultron 4″ Figure Packs Released!

3 3/4" Avengers Age of Ultron Black Widow & Captain America Action Figures

You wouldn’t know it from the amount of news articles that ran anyway, but I was actually on vacation last week. Some items did slip through the cracks, though, and among them are some 4″ Avengers Age of Ultron figures two-packs. None of the figures are exactly “new”, and they’re exclusive to Toys R Us stores–but hey, they’ve got more than 5 points of articulation! That’s something, right…?

Hasbro Avengers Age of Ultron Scarlet Witch Released!

Hasbro 4" Scarlet Witch Age of Ultron Figure Released

I woke up this morning to the terrifying realization that there was no caffeine in the house. Seeking to avert this catastrophe, I decided to do an early-morning Target run, even though I wasn’t on the hunt for anything of the non-caffeinated variety. Luckily, I don’t think I’ve ever been in a Target in my entire life without checking the toy department, so I had to do a quick check–and discovered some figures I didn’t even know were out! The sorta-awaited 4″ Hasbro Avengers Age of Ultron Scarlet Witch, Iron Legion, War Machine and more have now been released!

Marvel Universe Black Cat Figure Review & Photos 2015

Marvel Infinite Series Black Cat & Miles Morales Figures

While the Hasbro Marvel Legends Infinite Series 3 3/4″ figures are back in 2015 for another year, the style and articulation level of new molds have undergone a drastic change going forward. This switch hasn’t exactly been met with open arms by collectors, but I decided to pick up the new Black Cat figure for review anyway.

Is she good? Sort of. Is the Marvel Infinite Series Black Cat worth buying for $13-$15…? Well…

Titan Hero Tech Ultron Figure Hasbro 2015

“Your armor is a joke–just like your species!” Although the Hasbro Avengers Age of Ultron toys have been on shelves for a couple of months now, there was a little something missing from most of the lines that have been released: a little something called Ultron himself!

But two new Hasbro Ultron figures have now appeared in stores: Titan Hero Ultron and the electronic, smack-talking Titan Tech Ultron figure!

Disney Store Exclusive Marvel Legends Avengers 5-Pack!

Marvel Legends Avengers Disney Store Exclusive 5-Pack

I’m very fond of Marvel Toy News’ track record of only having reported news that’s ended up being 100% true since the site’s inception, so I tend to err on the side of caution with what gets reported here. As such, when a totally unannounced Marvel Legends 5-Pack consisting entirely of old molds turned up in an auction listing–on April Fools’ Day–I hesitated to report it. But as it turns out, looks like I’m the fool–Hasbro has now confirmed that this European Disney Store Exclusive Marvel Legends 5-Pack is the real deal!

Marvel Mashers Groot Figure Packaged

With all of the recent releases in the past month from the more collector-oriented lines like Marvel Select, Marvel Legends and Marvel Infinite Series, I’ve neglected reporting on new figures from one of my favorite guilty-pleasure lines: Marvel Super Hero Mashers! If you’re a mash-up fan, get excited, because new Marvel Mashers Groot, Skaar, Logan, Bearded Thor and more have now been released online and in stores!

Marvel Infinite Series Wave 7 Photos & Case Ratios! Shanna!

Marvel Universe Doctor Octopus Hasbro Figure Packaged

The year is off to a controversial start for the long-running Hasbro Marvel Infinite Series (AKA Marvel Universe) toy line, as prices for the line are at an all-time high and articulation has been reduced to an all-time low. That said, the first wave of 2015 Marvel Infinite Series had some strong figures in it, and based off the case ratios and prototypes, the next wave will have some hot characters in it as well. Marvel Infinite Series Wave 7–including Shanna the She-Devil and the Vulture–is now up for order!

2015 Marvel Legends Thanos Build-A-Figure Review

Although there are over 8,000 Marvel heroes and villains, less than 500 of them are characters that most people have ever heard of. And so, with hundreds of figures now released, there are very few major omissions left. And this year, perhaps the most prominent missing villain has finally arrived: Thanos!

Is it worth buying five of the Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 2 figures to build the Thanos Build-A-Figure…?

Marvel Legends Spider-Girl Review & Photos

If anyone had asked me to list off 100 characters I thought might get the Hasbro Marvel Legends treatment in 2015, May “Mayday” Parker would not have been on that list. But Hasbro has made some pleasantly surprising choices in 2015, and I sure am glad that they did!

The Spider-Man Marvel Legends Spider-Girl is now appearing in stores and shipping next week from Amazon–is she your worth your $20-$25? Read on…

Hasbro 4″ Scarlet Witch Age of Ultron Movie Figure Revealed!

Posted on by March 16, 2015
Hasbro Avengers Age of Ultron Wave 2 4 Inch Figures Scarlet Witch

Of all the various Avengers Age of Ultron toy lines out there, the sole one that I immediately wrote off as being junk was the Hasbro 4″ Avengers Age of Ultron figures. With the line’s wonky paint deco and five points of articulation, I genuinely thought that Hasbro had zero plans for this line that would get collectors excited. I was wrong. Coming soon to Avengers Age of Ultron 4″: Scarlet Witch, Ultron 2.0 and Iron Legion figures!
