While they happen several times a year these days and we’ve all become acclimated to them, there was a time when Walgreens Exclusives were a new and revolutionary thing. The first one ever was the Marvel Legends Agent Venom that was confirmed almost half a decade ago now exactly, and as part of the 80th Anniversary Series, that legendary figure is getting a sequel: the Exclusive Marvel Legends Anti-Venom figure in white costume is now up for order!

There are certain things that you just never dare to dream about in collecting. And for me, the very notion that Hot Toys might ever make a high-end sixth scale figure of the original Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider costume—complete with blue hoodie!!—is one of those things. But thanks to the magic of the PS4 Spider-Man GamerVerse license and the Video Game Masterpieces series, the impossible has become possible: the Toy Fair EXCLUSIVE Hot Toys Scarlet Spider figure is now up for order!

Given the mania and wild aftermarket prices surrounding the sold-out Hot Toys Spider-Man Homecoming sixth scale figures in the aftermath of Avengers Endgame, Hot Toys would have seemed crazy business-wise to not double-dip in the red-and-blue Spidey MMS well. And to little surprise, that’s just what they’re doing: a reissue of the Hot Toys Spider-Man movie figure as a Far From Home Movie Promo is now up for order! It’s a limited exclusive, so if you missed out the first time around, be ready to strike!

After Diamond Select Toys acquired Gentle Giant Ltd. earlier this year, there were some early trepidations that it might be curtains for some of Gentle Giant’s long-running Marvel lines such as their busts and Skottie Young Babies. Luckily, it’s ended up being business as usual with a fairly steady string of new items being solicited this spring and summer. And now, the latest entries for both those respective lines have appeared: the Gentle Giant Ghost Rider Bust and Animated Spider-Man & Venom Statue are now up for order!

This month’s Diamond Select Toys solicitations were a little bit light for Marvel Gallery fans, with just one all-new item offered: McFarlane-style 90s Spider-Man PVC figure.

In the wake of the mega-success of Avengers Endgame, We’ve seen Marvel movie collectibles being rolled out at breakneck speed over the past month.

UPDATE 5/23/2019: …Well here’s a reissue that’s been a long time in the making…! When Diamond Select Toys released Carnage back in 2015, he was instantaneously sold out pretty much across the entire internet. After years of selling for double MSRP or more online, the DST Marvel Select Carnage figure is finally back up for order! 4 years and a couple Hasbro Carnages later, will this symbiote be as popular today as it was way back when?

Hasbro has had far more hits than misses since the Return of Marvel Legends began in 2012, but occasionally there’s been a hiccup along the way. One of those snafus came in the Arnim Zola series, when the black Stealth Suit Spider-Man figure arrived and was, well… green. Fans have always been discontent about that release, and after 7 years, a “make-good” is on the way: an exclusive Marvel Legends Big Time Spider-Man figure is now up for order!

Bad news: They’re currently dated to ship a month after other online retailers. But worth waiting if you want to pick and choose, right?

Next up for discussion from the multitude of new series of Marvel Legends figures revealed by Hasbro at New York Toy Fair 2019 is the second (of most likely two) Spider-Man Marvel Legends series for the year! Whereas the first wave of the year had everyone buying it to get the Kingpin Build-A-Figure parts, I think every individual figure for this wave will be popular when pre-orders open up later this year…

One company that never, ever disappoints me at Toy Fair is Diamond Select Toys, and they continued that streak with some absolute eye-poppers at the 2019 Toy Fair. I’ll talk about their various Marvel Select, Gallery and Minimates figures throughout the next few days, but today let’s look at the items that impressed me most: their upcoming Marvel Premier Collection Iceman, Carnage and Green Goblin statues!

Hey guys! I’m back from the New York Toy Fair 2019 Hasbro Media Presentation, which was one of the most mind-blowing experiences of my life–and that was just the opening song and dance number by the Hasbro higher-ups set to “Be Our Guest”! (Sadly, recording was expressly forbidden.) Anyway, I’ve taken over half a thousand hi-res Marvel Legends photos, which I’ll be uploading over the course of tonight to the Marvel Toy News Facebook, Instagram and Twitter Pages. Thanks and enjoy the coverage!
