Much to the dismay of a vocal contingent of fans and collectors, the plastic-free packaging era of Hasbro Marvel Legends action figures has arrived. All of my toy packaging goes straight to the recycling bin, so I didn’t really expect the switch to bother me much. But now that I have the new Spider-Man Homecoming Marvel Legends Peter Parker and Ned Leeds 2-Pack in-hand, I recognize the shortcomings of these environmentally friendly boxes. Here’s my review of Peter & Ned…

Last week wasn’t just a good week for new Marvel Legends figures going up for pre-order—Hasbro also announced and revealed a trio of new exclusives that would be coming our way later this year! It’s a pretty eclectic bunch, including a long-demanded Carol Danvers as Binary Marvel Legends figure for Walgreens, a repainted Hand Ninja army-builder for Hasbro Pulse, and even a new-ish and improved Spider-Man Homecoming Vulture movie figure for Target! Let’s take a closer look at this threesome of upcoming store exclusives…

Spider-Man is indeed the new Iron Man as far as Hot Toys is seemingly concerned. Hot Toys quickly created every suit from the first two MCU Spider-Man movies in sixth scale form, and now they’ve got something… bigger… on their minds! For the first time ever, Hot Toys is creating a non-Iron Man 1/4 character from the MCU: the Hot Toys Quarter-Scale Spider-Man figure is now up for order in deluxe and regular versions! He’s bigger than ever—with a bigger than ever price as well…

Reports have been coming in from all over the country for the last few weeks of collectors finding and sometimes being denied the newest Target Exclusive Marvel Legends Spider-Man two-packs locally, but that’s changed over the course of the past week, as Target is now officially stocking and allowing sales of its latest Exclusives: the Kraven’s Last Hunt Two-Pack with Kraven & Symbiote Spidey and the Homecoming Two-Pack with MJ & Academic Decathalon Spidey!

UPDATE 4/1/2019: It’s sold out in hours twice before over the last two months, but now it’s back again! For those who’ve been waiting to order the third member of their Black Order, the EXCLUSIVE Marvel Legends Infinity War Loki and Corvus Glaive two-pack is now in-stock online and shipping today! For those who want this set and don’t want to stalk Walmart (and I most definitely do not, myself), you might wanna think fast this time!

Being a Mezco ONE:12 Collective Marvel collector ain’t easy. The majority of the regular releases tend to sell out and increase in price before they ever ship, and the various Mezco and convention exclusives tend to skyrocket in price after they pop up with no warning and sell out in an hour. Marvel ONE:12 Collective is a toy line where demand exceeds supply more often than not—and the latest example of this is the exclusive Homemade Suit Spider-Man figure that came and sold out earlier today…

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?

Last week, Mezco Toyz showed off a teaser of some of their New York Toy Fair 2018 ONE:12 Collective figure reveals. Of the darkened silhouettes on that teaser, there was one Marvel figure so obvious that it didn’t take a Spider-Sense to pick him out, and today it’s official: the Mezco ONE:12 Collective Homemade Suit Spider-Man figure has now been revealed!

I felt pretty bad kicking off the week by having to strike down the Marvel Select Drax movie figure (which I genuinely did want to love), so I thought today I’d move another DST figure to the top of the review queue—this time, one I had a much better feeling about! We’ve gotten plenty of Spider-Man Homecoming Tech Suit Spidey figures from various companies—but are any as good as the under $25 Marvel Select Homecoming Spider-Man figure?

UPDATE 12/6/2017: Those who were patient “win” (the right to have more money in their bank account) again–the other Deal of the Day today only is the Marvel Legends Spider-Man Homecoming 2-Pack with Iron Man and Unmasked Tom Holland Spider-Man for $19 shipped! If you wanted that Tom Holland Peter Parker had been didn’t want to pay 40 bucks for it, now is your time…!

My apologies for the sparse updates—I haven’t been feeling so swell during or after NYCC 2017, so things have been a bit slow. But! I’m looking to close out my New York Comic Con 2017 coverage today and tomorrow, beginning with all the 7” Marvel Select figures goodness that Diamond Select Toys brought to the show—including the Thor Ragnarok Gladiator Hulk & Thor Figures, the long-awaited Guardians of the Galaxy movie figures, Spider-Gwen and more!

Diamond Select Toys has exploded onto the Marvel statue scene in the past year like dynamite, and now they’re continuing that trend with some new 1/6 scale Marvel Premier Collection resin statues coming our way this winter. Not only will Tom Holland Spidey be making his first statue appearance, but a long-overdue new statue of Moon Knight is going to be in the house: the DST Marvel Premier Moon Knight and Spider-Man Homecoming statues are now up for order!

Last week I was talking about Bandai Japan closing out their Spider-Man Homecoming movie entries with their SH Figuarts Homemade Suit Spidey and Iron Man figures, but not to be outdone, Mezco Toyz has a much-anticipated straggler of their own! Not content to just re-outfit the existing ONE:12 Collective Spider-Man, they’ve made some changes and slimmed Peter down–the ONE:12 Collective Spider-Man Homecoming figure is now up for order!

At this point in late summer, merchandisers are firmly going all-in with Thor Ragnarok toys and pretty much every toy coming for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Spider-Man Homecoming has gone up for sale. But it looks like there was at least one major holdout, as Bandai Japan had two more Spider-Man Homecoming figures waiting in the wings: the SH Figuarts Homemade Suit Spider-Man and Iron Man Mark 47 figures are now up for order!

Way back in February, when Hasbro started teasing the Marvel Legends Spider-Man Homecoming figures series, one of the very first items that we got to see was the new Marvel Legends Homecoming Iron Man Mark 47 figure. I saw Iron Man Mark XLVII and his two-pack partner (Tom Holland Head Unmasked) Spider-Man at Toy Fair, but that’s the last that we saw the duo… until today! The first packaged photos of Spider-Man Homecoming Marvel Legends 2-Pack have popped up online!
