Diamond Select Toys Sandman Select Figure Preview

I’m leaving for New York Toy Fair 2019 tomorrow morning, but before I can even get out the door, companies are beginning to post previews of new products that will be fully unveiled at the event this weekend! One such company is Diamond Select Toys, who have unveiled a superfecta of new Marvel products in the build-up to the show. All four previews are good ones, but there’s one that’s generating more buzz than any of the others: the Marvel Select Sandman figure is now up for order!

Posted on by February 12, 2019
Sideshow Collectibles Miles Morales Spider-Man Statue Review

Sideshow Collectibles has been on a hot streak lately with world-class statues coming out one after the next, including their recent Captain America, Wolverine, Magneto and more. Of course, those were all highly-hyped pieces expected to get top marks–but their latest release is more of a sleeper hit! Even though it’s only been shipping for less than a week, the Sideshow Miles Morales Premium Format Figure has already gone to Wait List and is poised to sell out! Should you get one before it does? Let’s hear some reviews and see some photos of the final statue…

Spider-Man Marvel Legends Puma Figure Review (Kingpin Series)

Posted on by February 10, 2019
Puma Marvel Legends Figure Head Sculpt Close-Up

Since I went with the crowd favorite and reviewed the new Marvel Legends Kingpin figure during the week, I thought I’d mix things up for my next review and feature a character that’s a little… less… famous. He’s a character never-before-made as an action figure (though Hasbro did release a PVC years ago), who will most likely be purchased primarily by collectors for the Kingpin’s torso: the Spider-Man Marvel Legends Puma figure is now in-stock online for retail price!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Kingpin Build-A-Figure (Hasbro 2019)

Posted on by February 6, 2019
Marvel Legends Kingpin Action Figure Punching Spider-Man

When I asked readers on social media which of the figures in the first 2019 Marvel Legends Spider-Man wave they wanted to see first, it was really just a formality. The de facto winner was always going to be the Build-A-Figure—and in a landslide, he was. The Marvel Legends Kingpin BAF is selling for over 100 bucks now on the aftermarket—almost as much as the six figures you have to buy for all his parts! Does the Kingpin live up to his enormous hype?

Marvel Legends Kingpin Series Figures Unboxing Photos

I’ll go through and review each and every figure from the wave in-depth with lots of hi-res photos in the coming weeks, but to help tide readers over, here’s some initial impressions and unboxing photographs of the Marvel Legends Kingpin Build-A-Figure and more…

Marvel Minimates Wave 77 Figures Molten Man Prowler Mysterio Vulture Hydro-Man

The seventh and final new Marvel-related product that Diamond Select Toys featured in this month’s batch of solicitations is one that I know a lot of fans have been looking forward to: a new wave of comics-based Minimates! The comic book line of these figures has slowed down a lot since TRU shuttered its doors, but DST has picked an all-star lineup of Spider-Man characters for the latest wave that should sell well: Marvel Minimates Wave 77 is now up for order!

Marvel Gallery Statues Rhino Okoye Dazzler Figures

January 2019 has been a semi-quiet month news-wise, but when it rains, it pours. And when Diamond Select Toys sends out a new round of solicitations, it practically monsoons! DST has a whopping SEVEN new Marvel figures and statues in their latest round of solicits, and today I’ll be looking at a trio of them from one of my favorite lines: the Marvel Gallery Okoye, Dazzler and PS4 Spider-Man Rhino Figures are now up for order!

Marvel Legends Mysterio Figure 2018 Lizard Series

UPDATE (1/17/2019): Well here’s a bit of a (very welcome) surprise! Even though it’s been close to a year since the Spider-Man Marvel Legends Lizard wave began hitting retail in winter 2018, demand for at least one figure in the wave was simply never met and aftermarket prices soared. But seeing as how he’s set to be featured in this summer’s second-biggest superhero flick, Hasbro must have figured now was the time to strike with an upcoming restock: the Marvel Legends Mysterio figure is back up for pre-order online now!

Marvel Legends “Best Of” 2019 Repacked Figures Series Revealed!

Posted on by January 16, 2019
Best of Marvel Legends 2019 Figures Series Packaged

It’s become a bit of a tradition each year that an international “Best of Marvel Legends” wave gets released merging many of the difficult-to-acquire movie figures from the prior year into one big MCU wave. Hasbro has produced an intermixed wave like this every year for the past three years, and now it’s confirmed that international collectors will be getting a new Marvel Legends “Best Of” wave for 2019, featuring figures from “Avengers Infinity War” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp”! US collectors need not apply…

REVIEW: Marvel Gallery Venom PVC Figure Statue (Diamond Select Toys)

Marvel Gallery Venom Statue Review Photos

Diamond Select Toys has spent the last few years revolutionizing the size, detail and quality that we can expect from value-priced PVC statues, and as they’ve become one of my absolute favorite companies, it only seems right to kick off 2019 with a Marvel Gallery review to see how far the line has come. The less than $45 Marvel Gallery Venom Statue just started shipping this winter, and despite its low price, it’s one of my favorite (and the most unique) Venom figures in the land…

Iron Studios Hobgoblin Statue Photos & Order Info! Battle Diorama Series

Iron Studios Battle Diorama Series Hobgoblin Statue

Iron Studios is one who company that the casual collector awareness of grew explosively for in 2018, largely due to their enormously popular (and expansive!) line of reasonably-priced resin Avengers Infinity War statues. But to close out the year, the banner piece they’ve solicited isn’t movie-based—it’s classic comic book fan all the way: the Iron Studios Hobgoblin Statue is now up for order! Between this and the DST statue, Hobgoblin fans are gonna have quite a choice to make in 2019…

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Scarlet Spider 6″ Figure (SP//DR Series) 

Posted on by December 30, 2018
Close-Up of Marvel Legends Scarlet Spider Kaine Figure SPDR Series

Considering the fact that the 2013 Scarlet Spider Marvel Legends figure has been in the header for this site ever since I opened it over half a decade ago, I don’t think anyone will be stunned to learn that I’m a big Kaine Parker fan. While that ML Rocket Raccoon Series figure is a bit dated by today’s standards, I loved (and still do love) it. But time has marched forward, action figures have advanced, and it was time for a new version of Kaine to be released. The Marvel Legends SP//DR Series Scarlet Spider figure is already selling out and escalating in price: is it worth upgrading before it’s too late?

Kotobukiya Venom ARTFX Statue Photos & Order Info! 16″!

Venom Kotobukiya ARTFX Statue

2018 has been a bit of a quiet year for Kotobukiya, with zero new Marvel Bishoujo statues released and little buzz surrounding their ARTFX+ Infinity War and Avengers Series 2 1:10 PVC figures. But one item that exceeded expectations and got a lot of love was the 1:6 scale Webslinger Spider-Man ARTFX Statue. So much love, in fact, that it’s getting a pretty magnificent (and huge!) companion piece next year: the 16.5” Kotobukiya Venom ARTFX Statue is now up for order!

Marvel Gallery Carnage Hulkbuster Iron Man PS4 Spider-Man Tony Stark

Marvel Gallery by Diamond Select Toys has been one of the big joys to collect in my life this year, so it seems only right that we get another batch of solicitations for the line before 2018 comes to a close! This last wave of solicits for the year includes two statues we knew about—and two that are a complete surprise! The Marvel Gallery Carnage, PS4 Spider-Man, Hulkbuster and Unmasked Mark 50 Iron Man are now up for order!
