It may be time to start building an ark, because the Hasbro flood of new Marvel Legends figures this month doesn’t seem to be letting up! This time, it’s not another whole new series of figures, though—it’s just one three pack of upgrading figures many collectors may have missed! The 6” Marvel Legends Infinity War 3-Pack of Thanos (with new head!), Doctor Strange and Iron Man is now up for order!

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, repaints are a fact of collecting life. Sometimes we’re lucky enough to know that a repaint is in the works when an original statue is shown, and sometimes we’re not. Today’s item is unfortunately of the latter type, as it was recently announced… a year and a half after the original version. The Sideshow Avengers Assemble Stealth Iron Man Statue is now up for order, and is limited to just 500 pieces produced!

Believe it or not, despite the fact that Bandai Tamashii has released well over a dozen S.H. Figuarts Iron Man figures, they’ve never released the iconic Mark 7 armor from the first Avengers movie—at least, not until now!

And Bandai also has another beloved variant costume coming our way in a bit more wacky fashion—Black Ninja Spider-Man is on the way!

When it comes to the resin statue collecting world, the popular opinion of the masses is generally that bigger is better. But one company who’s defying that mentality is Iron Studios, who introduced their popular 1:10 scale Battle Diorama Series last year. I’ve been a fan since the first time I saw the MCU BDS statues in person, but I’ve never written a review for one… until now. The Iron Studios Spider-Man Homecoming Iron Man Statue is now starting to ship—is this low-priced piece worth your cash?

When the Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man from Avengers Age of Ultron finally shipped after a wait of over two years, collectors who got one were pretty breathless about how spectacular it was. But not every collector that wanted one pre-ordered years earlier, nor could they afford the $1K+ aftermarket prices. But fear not, Hot Toys hasn’t forsaken you: the 20” Hot Toys Infinity War Hulkbuster Iron Man figure is now up for order! He’s less articulated than his predecessor—but also half the price!

For those who collect Iron Man figures and statues, repaints are a fact of life. And when it comes to classic comic book Iron Man repaints, there’s no armor out there that’s been more prevalent for repaints than the blueberry-flavored Stealth Iron Man. So when Mezco Toyz premiered they’re ONE:12 Collective Iron Man last year, it was a foregone conclusion we’d see a blue repaint. And that inevitability has now occurred: the ONE:12 Collective Exclusive Stealth Iron Man figure is now up for order!

When the first-ever Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends series came out in 2014, many fans were surprised to see a comics-based Iron Man in the series. As a proven seller, a new Iron Man seemed like a surefire seller for the series. Well, another Marvel franchise is getting its first movie, and Tony Stark is back again!

11 months ago, Mezco Toyz held their annual pre-Toy Fair 2017 event, where they debuted several of their most ambitious Marvel ONE:12 Collective figures to date. But even amongst figures like ONE:12 Collective Doctor Strange with his elaborate costume, one figure stood out—because it had no soft goods at all!

While the Marvel Cinematic Universe may be where the majority of mainstream fans know their superheroes from these days, Sideshow Collectibles still produces far more comic book-based Marvel statues than MCU movie-based ones. Only extremely popular movie characters tend to get Sideshow Marvel Maquettes—and with that in mind, the latest addition to the line should surprise no one: the Sideshow Exclusive Iron Man Mark III Maquette limited to 500 pieces is now up for order!
