Sideshow Red Hulk Premium Format Figure Statue Front

This will be tough to believe, but we haven’t seen a single new Marvel comics-based Sideshow Premium Format Figure put up for sale since the end of 2013! Sideshow has been quiet, but now we can see the reason why: they’ve been working on something big. And by “big”, I mean “jaw droppingly-huge”! Sideshow Collectibles has not one, not two, but three Hulk Premium Format statues lined up for 2014, and the Red Hulk Premium Format Figure Exclusive Edition Statue is now up for order on the Sideshow website!

Hot Toys Bruce Banner & Hulk Set Released 6 Months Early!

Posted on by March 13, 2014
Hot Toys Hulk Banner MMS Figure Set Box

I do my best to plan my collecting budget for the year around the estimated release dates that Hot Toys gives us for their various Marvel 1/6 figures, as those tend to be the most expensive figures I buy each year. But, well–sometimes you need to be flexible, and this is apparently going to be one of those times! Even though the Avengers Hot Toys Bruce Banner and Hulk set pre-order still estimates the set shipping in September 2014, prepare your wallets for a smashing–the Hot Toys Hulk and Bruce Banner figures set has now been released overseas!

X-Force Deadpool Marvel Mystery Minis Variant Hot Topic Exclusive

The Marvel Mystery Minis Series 1 figures and packaging looked complete and ready to go at the 2014 Toy Fair last month, and now the Marvel Mystery Minis are upon us!

And surprise–there’s not one, not two, not three, but four Hot Topic exclusive Marvel Mystery Minis vinyl figures! And if you’re a completist, be afraid: one of them is one per 144 blind boxes…

Marvel Super Hero Mashers Series 3: Ghost Rider! Deadpool! Iceman!

Posted on by February 26, 2014
2014 Toy Fair Marvel Mashers Ghost Rider

Marvel Super Hero Mashers definitely are not my favorite action figure line of 2014. In general, they’re a bit too “kiddie” for me, and I wasn’t totally in love with the character selection for the first series. That said, Hasbro may have won me over–just a little bit–with their Toy Fair 2014 Marvel Super Hero Mashers Series 3 reveals. As if Hasbro went into my brain and pulled out four characters that would be ideal lures for me, at last week’s New York Toy Fair 2014 Hasbro debuted the Marvel Mashers Deadpool, Iceman, Red Hulk and Ghost Rider figures!

LEGO Marvel 2014 Hulk Lab Smash Review Part 1: Minifigures

Posted on by February 13, 2014
LEGO MODOK Minifigure from LEGO Hulk Lab Smash 76018

Though I run both a LEGO blog and a Marvel blog, I don’t buy every LEGO Marvel set. With LEGO there are just so many high-priced items each year, and usually they’re better than the Marvel LEGO ones. That said, as soon as I saw the LEGO Marvel Hulk Lab Smash 76018 set, I knew it would be coming home. And sure enough, I walked into the LEGO Store Tuesday, saw LEGO 76018, bought it on sight, and built it immediately. I’ll review the playset portion of this set later, and discuss what everyone really wants to hear about first: the minifigures!

LEGO Marvel 2014 Sets Finally Released & Photos!

Posted on by February 12, 2014
LEGO 2014 Marvel Super Heroes Sets Released

When speculation hit the net that the major licensed 2014 LEGO sets would be delayed past January 2014 until after the theatrical release of The LEGO Movie (so as not to damage LEGO Movie sets’ early sales), I thought that notion was silly.

But I guess maybe there was something to that rumor after all… the LEGO Movie hit theaters just days ago, and like magic, all of the LEGO Marvel 2014 sets have suddenly appeared in LEGO stores!

Funko Marvel Mystery Minis Case of Bobble Head Figures Series 1

Though the first photos of Funko Marvel Mystery Minis Series 1 leaked out a little bit earlier this month, we’ve had to wait a bit for Funko to confirm the assortment and send out hi-res images of the set. Well, not only has Funko done that today–they’ve also shown off the packaging for the Marvel Funko Mystery Minis, shared the rarity scale for the figures and put Marvel Mystery Minis Series 1 up for order! And if you want a complete set of Marvel Mystery Minis, be prepared to spend a lot of money buying blind boxes and hunting for the rarest figures…

Hot Toys Bruce Banner and Hot Toys Hulk Premium Set

News hit the street on Thanksgiving Day last week that Hot Toys was bringing back the highly-desirable Hot Toys Hulk figure in a special set with the all-new Hot Toys Bruce Banner sixth scale figure. We had to wait a week to get confirmation that this duo would be making their way to the United States, but the long-awaited Bruce Banner Hot Toys figure (and The Other Guy!) are now up for pre-order! Yep, this is really gonna tee off some of the people who paid $400+ for just the Hulk Hot Toys figure on the secondary market…

Toys R Us Marvel Minimates Series 17 Released & Photos!

Toys R Us Marvel Minimates Series 17 Rescue & Robot Hulk

I saw reported sightings of the new set of exclusive Toys R Us Marvel Minimates Wave 17 for the first time this morning, and decided to make it my new quest to see the Minimates wave in person. But, well… It wasn’t much of a quest. I drove to one Toys R Us, walked down the action figure aisle, and all four two-packs of the TRU Marvel Minimates Series 17 figures were just sitting right out front on the pegs…

Funko Metallic Compound Hulk POP Vinyl LE 500

I bow down to Funko, who is the undisputed king of the surprise exclusive. I write a variety of toy blogs, so I’m watching for new releases from various toy companies pretty much every hour of my life. But there is no company–none–that keeps me on my toes more than Funko. Surprise releases can debut any time, any day–and we got one such Funko Marvel figure surprise release today! Limited to 500, the exclusive Funko Metallic Compound Hulk POP! Vinyls figure is now in-stock and up for order!

Marvel Universe A-Bomb Review & Photos (Variant Figure)

Posted on by October 29, 2013
Hasbro Marvel Universe A-Bomb Figure

Through a welcome bit of good fortune, the Marvel Universe Abomination figure that I ordered from Amazon earlier this month turned out to be the Hasbro Marvel Universe A-Bomb variant figure when it actually arrived. The chances of me paying out the wazoo for this character were zero, but I was pretty ecstatic to get him for the $11.99 shipped I ended up paying. Of course, it would be a moot point if the MU A-Bomb action figure turned out to be a dud. Luckily, this Marvel Universe A-Bomb review is one of the ones where I get to talk up a surprisingly great action figure…

Hot Toys Hulk Review Avengers 1:6 Scale Figure MMS 186

Hot Toys Hulk Movie Masterpiece Series Figure Review

I’ve talked a great deal about Marvel Hot Toys figures since I started this blog (especially about the Hot Toys Avengers figures), but I haven’t put forward an official Avengers Hot Toys figure review–until now.

Last week I received the biggest Marvel Hot Toys figure ever released, and though he’s the most atypical figure in the line so far, I figured I’d begin my reviews with him. It’s the absolutely massive beast that is MMS 186: the Avengers Hot Toys Hulk sixth scale figure!

Marvel Universe Wave 23 Ghost Rider & Grey Hulk Variant Figures

Marvel Universe 2013 Ghost Rider Variant Figure Wave 23 Metallic Paint

With the Marvel Universe 3 3/4″ action figure line in its death throes, Hasbro is determined to keep things “interesting” (if that’s what you want to call it) until the very end.

Almost every Marvel Universe 2013 wave of figures is coming with some unannounced surprise variants of old figures mixed in, and Marvel Universe Wave 23 keeps the fun going with new Grey Hulk and Ghost Rider figures…

Marvel Funko Compound Hulk POP! Vinyl Exclusive Figure Announced!

Funko Marvel Compound Hulk POP! Vinyl Figure Exclusive

Back in July during SDCC 2013, photos leaked out of a pair of hitherto-unannounced Marvel Funko POP! Vinyl figures: a Peter Parker POP Vinyl and a Compound Hulk POP Vinyl. We’ve gone a while with nary a word about either figure, but since both are mere repaints, it was always pretty certain that they would turn up eventually–and now, the first one has! Coming in October 2013 as a limited retailer exclusive, it’s the Funko Compound Hulk POP! Vinyl figure!
