Marvel Hot Toys 2014 Release Schedule

Close-Up of Heartbreaker Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Sixth Scale Figure

If there’s one company that I’m finding I really need to plan my collecting budget around for the entire year, it’s Hot Toys and their amazing (but oh-so-expensive) Marvel Movie Masterpiece Series figures. While I was drawing out my 2014 budget today (yes, I waited until January 1st, 2014 to do so), I realized there were quite a few more Hot Toys Marvel MMS figures already announced for 2014 than I thought, so I had to adjust my outlook accordingly. I figured some other Hot Toys collectors are probably having the same problem as me, so I thought I’d share my Marvel Hot Toys 2014 release schedule to help other fans plan out their future Hot Toys-induced debt…

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…

Hot Toys Midas Iron Man 1/6 Figure FINALLY Up for Order!

Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Midas Mark XXXI Armor Limited Exclusive Figure

I am not exaggerating at all when I say that I get someone messaging me almost every single day asking me if I have any insider info on when and if Sideshow Collectibles will be selling the hotly-anticipated exclusive Hot Toys Midas Iron Man 1/6 figure. The answer is always the same, which is that I don’t have any insider info (ever). Luckily, that won’t be an issue anymore– the 1/6 Midas Iron Man Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece figure IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ORDER! If you want him, go get him NOW–Sideshow has said quantities are highly limited and he will sell out quickly!

Avengers Hot Toys Chitauri Footsoldier & Commander Up for Order

Avengers Hot Toys Chitauri Commander Figure Helmet Head Close-Up

Just when many collectors thought that the Hot Toys Avengers 1/6 Movie Masterpiece Series figures line was at an end, Hot Toys has revealed to the world the official photos and specifications for two more Avengers Hot Toys Sixth Scale figures! Though we first saw a Chitauri Footsoldier prototype over a year ago, fans were skeptical it would ever be released. Hot Toys might have taken that notion as a challenge, because they’ve now created not one but two Chitauri figures! The Avengers Hot Toys Chitauri Footsoldier and Chitauri Commander are now up for pre-order!

Hot Toys Thor The Dark World MMS 224 Up for Order & Photos!

Hot Toys Thor 2 Movie Masterpiece Series Figure Revealed

Hot Toys saw fit to grace us with a pair of different Thor The Dark World Hot Toys Thor figures this morning. One of them is the super-limited Hot Toys Thor Light Asgardian Armor Version that’s going sleeveless, while the other figure is this standard MMS 224 Thor sixth scale figure (with sleeves!). In general I always end up wanting the hard-to-get exclusive Hot Toys figures, but in a weird twist of fate, for a change it’s the non-limited version of this Hot Toys figure that I prefer… and this Hot Toys Thor the Dark World 1/6 scale figure is now up for order!

Limited Hot Toys Thor Light Asgardian Armor Version Pre-Order!

Thor 2 Hot Toys Thor Light Armor Sixth Scale Figure

In a bit of a surprising twist this morning, Hot Toys simultaneously announced their MMS 224 Thor The Dark World Thor Movie Masterpiece Series figure at the same time as they announced the limited variant for the figure. If you’ve been waiting with bated breath for Hot Toys to churn out an unspeakably lame exclusive, you’re in luck! I’m one of those people whose eyes Hot Toys can ordinarily do no wrong in, but even I have to admit this particular limited Hot Toys figure is pretty weak. Coming in 2014–the MMS 225 Hot Toys Thor Light Asgardian Armor Version Figure is now available for order!

Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man Figure MMS 179 Released & Photos!

Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man Unboxing MMS 179

The bad news is that I have now lost a bet and owe a friend five bucks. The good news is that the bet that I lost was my guess that the Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man Movie Masterpiece Series figure would be delayed into 2014! After countless delays and the figure not even being shown at San Diego Comic Con 2013, I thought it was very possible the Amazing Spider-Man Hot Toys figure would fail to make it out before the end of 2013. But I was wrong–it’s taken quite a while, but the Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man MMS 179 figure has now been released overseas!

Iron Man Mark 38 Igor Hot Toys Figure Light-Up Features

Considering that Hot Toys showed off the upcoming Iron Man 3 Igor Mark 38 MMS 215 sixth scale figure at event after event throughout the summer, no one can feign surprise that the Hot Toys Igor Iron Man is in development.

But knowing that fact is one thing, and seeing this insanely immense behemoth go up for sale is quite another, and it’s finally happened–the Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Igor Mark XXXVIII figure is now up for order!

Hot Toys The Wolverine 1/6 Figure Revealed & Up for Order!

Hot Toys The Wolverine Hugh Jackman Head Sculpt 2014

I woke up this morning, rolled over, flicked on my iPhone, and found myself staring into the sneering, ticked-off face of Hugh Jackman. It was a good morning.

Out of the blue and defying expectations, Hot Toys abruptly fully-revealed their “The Wolverine” Hot Toys sixth scale figure, based on the summer’s (not-quite) blockbuster Wolverine movie! Coming in 2014, the Hot Toys The Wolverine Movie Masterpiece Series figure is now up for pre-order!

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!

Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Midas Mark XXXI Armor Limited Exclusive Figure

Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Silver Centurion Iron Man Pre-Order!

Close-Up of Iron Man 3 Silver Centurion Hot Toys Iron Man Armor 2014

I woke up last week to what every man dreams of–unexpected new glamor shots of a new Hot Toys Iron Man figure. Though it had made its debut at SDCC 2013 less than a week before, the Hot Toys Iron Man Silver Centurion Mark 33 Enhanced Energy Suit was already ready for its official photography session! As soon as I saw that Hot Toys had posted photos, I knew it was only a matter of time until the red and silver centurion made his presence known on Sideshow Collectibles website. Well, it took a lot longer than I expected–a whole week longer. But lo and behold–he has arrived! The Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Silver Centurion Iron Man figure is now available for pre-order!

Iron Man 3 Hot Toys Tony Stark The Mechanic Up for Order!

Hot Toys Iron Man 3 Tony Stark Mandarin Mansion Assault with Iron Man Arm

The central theme of Iron Man 3 is that it is the strength, bravery and intelligence of an individual that makes them a hero–not their weapons or technology. We see this with both Tony Stark (who spends the vast majority of the movie without armor) and James Rhodes (who is far more effective outside the Iron Patriot armor than he is in it in the film). So it’s only fitting that amongst an armada of Iron Man suits, Hot Toys capture both of Robert Downey Jr.’s iconic appearances from Iron Man 3. The first Workshop Tony Stark has been up for order for months, and the new (and far cooler) Hot Toys Tony Stark the Mechanic figure is now up for pre-order!
