It’s not just a good week to be a Hulk collector—it’s a great week to be a Hulk Collector! Not only did we get the announcements of a Hasbro SDCC Exclusive and a US release for the Bandai SH Figuarts movie figure, but Diamond Select Toys is getting in on the love for the Jade Giant as well! Whether you’re an action figure or bust collector, DST has you covered with their newly-orderable Marvel Select Endgame Hulk (with Nano-Gauntlet!) and 1:2 Scale Ragnarok Bust!

We’ve all been waiting with bated breath to see what the Hasbro SDCC 2019 Exclusive Marvel Legends product would be this year—and, well… we don’t have to wait any more! For a nice change of pace with all the recent leaks, the San Diego Comic Con exclusive this year is something totally unexpected! For those who don’t like the exclusive two-pack Hulk with Wolverine, you’ve got another option: the SDCC Marvel Legends Vintage Hulk on Retro Toybiz-inspired cardback (with crushed pipe accessory)!

For whatever reason, the Bandai Tamashii SH Figuarts Infinity War figures weren’t as big of a hit as expected domestically, with many of the figures still available a year after orders opened and some even after being discounted. Presumably because of this, we’ve seen a far narrower selection of the Endgame figures getting released in North America, and even seeming sure-things are remaining overseas exclusives. Even the Jade Giant isn’t immune to exclusivity, as he’s not getting a domestic release. But if you’ve got to have him, the SH Figuarts Endgame Hulk figure is up for order in the US on BBTS now…

The new Marvel Legends 80 Years figure reveals and pre-orders over the past two weeks—Cowboy Wolverine and Big Time Spider-Man—have gotten a bit of a varied reaction from fans. But tonight, Hasbro has freshly solicited another item in the series—and I suspect this one will NOT be getting such a tepid response: the Marvel Legends Hulk vs. First Appearance Wolverine Two-Pack is now up for order!

Kotobukiya’s Marvel ARTFX+ line of 1/10th scale PVC statues used to rule the land, but in a changing market with increased prices and much more competition, Koto has definitely stumbled a bit in recent times. They unveiled their new high-end line of plastic 1:10 Marvel ARTFX Premier statues at New York Toy Fair, but collector response has been lukewarm thus far. Can today’s solicitation of the 5th piece in the line buck the trend? The Kotobukiya She-Hulk ARTFX Premier Statue is now up for order!

UPDATE: Well, here’s a crazy and welcome surprise! I thought Hot Toys was going to price it at a cool grand, but the Hot Toys Life-Size Nano Gauntlet is up for order for “only” 377 bucks! That’s less than half the price charged for Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet last year! And the 1/4 Iron Man and Hulk versions are both under 150 each! I am shocked and very pleased with this pricing! Knowing how value-priced Hot Toys’ Life-Size Gauntlet is, are you in?

When the 1/4 Sideshow Juggernaut Maquette Statue went up for order last month, collectors were aghast at the $1300+ price-tag and hoped that it was some sort of erroneous anomaly, the likes of which we would never see again. Alas, history has repeated itself. The much talked-about Exclusive Sideshow Gladiator Hulk Maquette goes up for sale today, but if you want it, you’ll have to drop another mortgage-like payment to call it your own…

Kotobukiya took the ARTFX+ collecting world by surprise at New York Toy Fair 2019, where they announced a new line of high-end ARTFX Premier statues with extensive detailing in their tried-and-true classic 1:10 scale format. Captain America, Thor and Iron Man quickly launched for POs after Toy Fair, and now it’s time for the last of the four pieces that debuted there: the Kotobukiya Immortal Hulk ARTFX Premier Statue is now up for order! But even with premium details, is a 7” PVC statue worth $200…?

All good things come to an end, and the end of my New York Toy Fair 2019 coverage is today! Earlier this week I looked at the MCU movie half of the Hasbro Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Series, and today I’ve got the other half, which is composed entirely of classic comic book figures! Closing out my 2019 Toy Fair coverage, it’s Marvel Legends Juggernaut, Colossus, First Appearance Wolverine, Classic Thor and more!

One of the primary things I’ve been looking forward to seeing at the 2019 Toy Fair is the new line of ARTFX Premier Statues that Kotobukiya surprise-announced with a teaser image of Captain America and Thor earlier this week. Well, as expected those first two pieces appears today at Toy Fair—along with surprise debuts of Hulk and Iron Man! Having seen these pieces in person, there’s no question Kotobukiya has upped their detail and quality game… although they’ve up their prices as well…

Earlier this year, rumors began swirling regarding an all-new unannounced series of Hasbro Marvel 80th Anniversary Marvel Legends Figures. I don’t like to comment on leaked news—especially with Toy Fair coming up fast—so I haven’t talked about those rumors up until now. But today, things changed—because they’re rumors no more! As announced during the Hasbro Investor Preview Event today, the new 80th Anniversary Marvel Legends figures series will be revealed at New York Toy Fair 2019 this weekend!

UPDATE 2/7/2010: It took a little while, but Amazon finally has the Avengers Infinity War Hulk figure in-stock and available! Figuarts Hulk has got free shipping and is discounted a few bucks to a less extortionate price. With this being the first time a non-Gladiator Hulk Figuarts figure has ever been available without importing, it’s a safe bet this figure will be a complete sell-through like Thanos and escalate on the aftermarket quickly, so make sure to snap one up soon if you want him…

I am not ashamed to admit that I’ve got a bit of a thing for She-Hulk. Jennifer Walters is pretty much the perfect woman: brilliant, independent, witty, capable and powerful. Heck, “Shulkie” is one of my nicknames for my wife (who, coincidentally, is also named Jennifer). So whenever a company announces a new She-Hulk collectible? I take notice. And although it’s been years since the last time a high-end statue of the character went up for sale, she’s finally back on the case: the Sideshow Exclusive She-Hulk Adi Granov Series Statue is now up for order!

Weekends tend to be a pretty slow time for Marvel toy news, but this weekend is an exception. Even though there’s no major convention or event going on in the United States this weekend, there is a rather notable show going on in Asia: the Singapore Toy Games & Comic Convention (STGCC) 2018! And at this year’s show, XM Studios debuted some spectacular new 1/4 scale Marvel statues, including Star-Lord, the Scarlet Witch, Brown Costume Wolverine, Red Hulk, Rocket Raccoon and Groot and more!
