Bandai kicked off their Marvel v Capcom (GamerVerse) Figuarts lineup with their immensely successful Cyclops and Spider-Man figures last year, and now in 2026 they’re ready to move on to the most popular X-Men member of all. The SH Figuarts Wolverine GamerVerse figure is now up for order! Is he a big enough leap beyond the Hasbro Marvel Legends version to warrant another hundred bucks?

If anyone asked me how many Spider-Man figures I’ve bought in my life, I would have to estimate a random triple digit number. So it’s really significant when a new Spidey drops and I immediately elevate it to one of my all-time favorites. To my surprise, Bandai has just launched such a figure: the SH Figuarts Spider-Man GamerVerse figure (based on the Marvel vs Capcom video games series) is now up for order! This Spidey definitely ain’t cheap, but he sure does look amazing…

When it comes to action figures, army-builders are pretty much the gift that keeps on giving to toy companies. After all, rather than producing one unique character that most collectors will purchase a singular time, an army-builder will often be purchased multiple times with no more development expenses than a unique character. That’s why companies have seized on a special opportunity brought about by Avengers Endgame. And now, Bandai is getting in on that action—the Bandai SH Figuarts Avengers Endgame “Cap vs Cap” Captain America is now up for order in the US!

The last month and a half have been some of the slowest for Marvel toy news and releases that I can remember in the last decade—but while the pandemic is still going strong, companies have finally started rolling out some new items for pre-order over the course of the last week! I’ll be catching up on discussing those this weekend, and I wanted to start with a figure I wasn’t sure would ever get released at all! While it’s a limited and expensive exclusive overseas, the SH Figuarts Loki figure is now up for order in the US for a decent price as well!

SH Figuarts collectors who have been waiting patiently (or impatiently!) to order the hotly-demanded Avengers Endgame Final Battle SH Figuarts figures need not wait anymore–all three figures are now up for order in the United States with free shipping!

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…

Many collectors of the Bandai Tamashii S.H. Figuarts like awoke today to some rather disappointing news: the Bandai SH Figuarts Avengers Endgame figures had launched overnight on all of the usual import sites–and promptly sold out from most of them! While certain figures like Ronin and Black Widow have remained available here and there on various sites, one figure predictably sold out instantaneously across all of them. Luckily, he’s getting a U.S. release for a reasonable price: the SH Figuarts Endgame Thanos figure is now up for order online in the US!

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…

While the end has come for major conventions in 2018 in the United States, it’s not quite over yet in Japan! Tokyo Comic Con 2018 is in full force this weekend, and although this isn’t a show that Hasbro attends, there are ample goodies to check out from other companies such as Hot Toys, Medicom and Kotobukiya. But the company who’s brought the most new Marvel figures to the show is Bandai Japan, who unveiled a plethora of new 6” figures, including SH Figuarts Captain Marvel, Agent Coulson, Nebula, Scarlet Witch, Loki and more!

After starting out in the US with just a few Iron Man armors, the Bandai SH Figuarts Marvel line distributed by Bluefin has exploded into of the most popular collector-focused Marvel toy lines available in the United States. But oddly enough, one character that’s never been released before in the US happens to be an armor permutation himself. But no longer: the SH Figuarts War Machine Infinity War figure is now up order in the US—and you won’t even have to buy an expensive Hall of Armor pod to get him!

Avengers Infinity War was a wildly successful movie, so it’s no surprise that figures and merch of the most popular characters from the movie quickly sold out. And one of the fastest sell-outs was the Bandai SH Figuarts Infinity War Iron Man 6” figure. But this story has a happy ending for those who missed out—and those who didn’t may even be a little jealous—because a new S.H. Figuarts Iron Man Mark L Figure with Nano Weapons Set is now up for order in the US!

This week was a mixed bag of good news and bad news for Marvel Figuarts Collectors. Good news: Bandai is releasing SH Figuarts Infinity War Thor and Wasp Figures. Bad news: Both are Tamashii Web Exclusives and not available via the usual import stores. More bad news: Infinity War Thor won’t be getting a domestic release at all. But at least some good news: the SH Figuarts Wasp figure is, and is now up for order in the United States!

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! The SH Figuarts Iron Man Mark VII figure with Hall of Armor diorama is now up for order in the United States! 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!

Ever since he made his debut as the Winter Soldier in 2014, collectors have been dreaming of an SH Figuarts Bucky figure to pose alongside their Figuarts Captain America. We didn’t get one for The Winter Soldier, nor did we get the one Bandai teased for Civil War. But third time may be the charm: as part of the Avengers Infinity War series, an SH Figuarts Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes 6” figure is now up for order! However, is this the perfect Marvel Legends scale Bucky fans have been hoping for…?
