Amazing Spider-Man 2 Marvel Legends Electro Review & Photos

Marvel Legends Amazing Spider-Man 2 Electro Review

On the eve of the Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie hitting theaters, I figured it was about time I wrote a review for the most high-profile movie Electro action figure. No, it’s not a Hot Toys Electro–they haven’t announced a sixth scale Electro (yet). Nor is it a Marvel Select Electro figure, as DST didn’t have reference materials in time to create a super-detailed Electro. No, this time out the most “high-end” figure is actually coming from Hasbro. Electro is only $17 shipped online right now, but is the Amazing Spider-Man 2 Marvel Legends Electro figure actually any good…?

After the agonizingly long wait for Captain America: The Winter Soldier to hit theaters, time has really blown by, and the Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie release is now upon us! I’ve got my reservations about this movie, but I’m willing to turn my super-critical brain off and do my best to enjoy it this weekend. But while I prepare for that, it’s finally time for me to review some Amazing Spider-Man 2 toys I’ve been holding onto for a while. First up, it’s the Amazing Spider-Man 2 Funko POP!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Green Goblin & Spidey Movie Busts!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Green Goblin Mini Bust Diamond Select Toys

With the once-mighty Bowen Designs unlikely to release a single Marvel mini bust in 2014 (and maybe not ever again), superhero mini busts definitely appear to be on life support. Even so, Diamond Select Toys will give Marvel bust collectors at least something to smile about later this year, when they release a pair of Marvel mini busts based on 2014’s not-quite-hottest Marvel movie: the Amazing Spider-Man 2 Green Goblin and Spider-Man mini busts are now available for order!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Hot Toys Rhino 1/6 Revealed & Photos

Posted on by April 25, 2014

I can be a pretty jaded toy collector these days, what with the state of the action figure aisle paling in comparison to the days of yesteryear and once-legendary franchises like Star Wars and G.I. Joe on the rocks. Thankfully, there are still some mornings that make it all worthwhile when I can wake up, turn on my phone, and have my eyes bulge out and my jaw drop past its limits. This was one of those mornings. To my complete and utter amazement (and likely the amazement of the entire collecting world), Hot Toys unveiled their GI-freaking-GANTIC 1/6 Amazing Spider-Man 2 Hot Toys Rhino figure today!

Diamond Select Marvel Retro Spider-Man Figure with Peter Parker Costume

We live in an age where it’s profitable for Funko to produce retro-style figures based on “The Goonies” and there’s actually demand for Gentle Giant to create a $2600 life-size Kenner Darth Vader figure, so it was only a matter of time until Marvel cashed-in on the nostalgia train. That time is now, and the lucky company looking to strike a nostalgic nerve is Diamond Select Toys! Coming this summer from Diamond Select–the Marvel Retro Spider-Man 8″ figure is now up for order!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Spider-Man Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series Figure MMS 224

With the plethora of Captain America: The Winter Soldier Hot Toys figures that have gone up for order over the past month, you’d be totally forgiven if you forgot Amazing Spider-Man 2 Hot Toys figures would be on the way as well (I sure did). But we’re just over two weeks away from the Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie release date of May 2, 2014, and Hot Toys has deigned that it’s time to get things started!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 Spider Strike Super Charged Electro 4" Figure

If you’re like me and try to collect at least one of every Marvel movie character in the Hasbro Marvel Universe 4″ figure scale, Hasbro has made deciding which Amazing Spider-Man 2 Electro figure to buy very, very simple: they only made one. Amidst a sea of wacky, crazy Spider-Man variations (Web Wing Spider-Man?!), there’s the Hasbro Amazing Spider-Man 2 Power Charged Electro figure. If you want every movie character released, you’ll need this 4″ Electro figure. But once you have him, well… you might wish you didn’t…

KidRobot Marvel Labbit Series 2 Review: Iron Man & Spider-Man

Posted on by March 20, 2014
Spider-Man Labbit Figure Shooting Web Fluid

This was a particularly crummy week for me, rife with personal illness and a death in my family. Some people console themselves with whiskey and such under similar circumstances. I do it with blind-boxed vinyl figures. And two of the blind boxes that I picked up this week (of many) were my first two KidRobot Marvel Labbit Minis Series 2 “bloxes”. I was aiming for Carnage and Anti-Venom, but this just wasn’t my week (if any regard). I drew the two most common KidRobot Marvel Labbits Series 2 figures: Spider-Man and Iron Man. Were they worth my 20 bucks? Read on…

Marvel Legends Carnage Infinite Series Figure Review

Now that the 2014 Toy Fair is officially in the history books, I want to jump back and discuss some of the collectibles that I put on the back-burner over the course of the past month. One such action figure is quite possible the single most popular Hasbro Marvel Legends action figure released thus far in 2014: the Spider-Man Marvel Legends Carnage Infinite Series figure! Carnage has had his fair share of figures released in the past, but this one? This one is going to be the bar that all future Carnage figures will have to strive to surpass…

Toy Fair 2014: MAFEX Amazing Spider-Man 2 DX Set Revealed!

Toy Fair 2014 Amazing Spider-Man 2 DX MAFEX Set Revealed

Of all the things that I was not expecting to see while wandering around the Diamond Comics Distribution booth’s display cases at this week’s New York Toy Fair 2014, a brand-new, unannounced deluxe MAFEX action figure set would have been near the top of the list. While we learned last month than MAFEX had a brand-new Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie figure on the way for later in 2014, what we didn’t know until Toy Fair 2014 is that they were also planning on releasing a special MAFEX Amazing Spider-Man 2 DX Set with a ton of accessories. Of course, the catch is that those accessories will cost you. A lot.

Spider-Man Marvel Legends Boomerang Review (2014 Variant)

Spider-Man Marvel Legends 2014 Boomerang Review

Collecting the Spider-Man Marvel Legends 2014 Infinite Series has been an arduous undertaking. After hitting dozens of stores last month and failing to find even a single figure from Wave 1 (no, not even the Superior Spider-Man figures), I gave up and bought a set online. So the last thing I expected was to wander into a random, heavy-traffic Target on a Sunday afternoon and see one of the variant figures sitting on the front of the pegs staring at me. It was an unlikely occurrence, but I sure am glad I snagged this Spider-Man Marvel Legends Boomerang figure…

Spider-Man Marvel Legends Ultimate Beetle Review (2014)

Spider-Man Marvel Legends Ultimate Beetle Review

Before I even got my set of Spider-Man Marvel Legends Infinite Series figures in the mail, I already had preconceived notions of which were going to be the figures I adored and which would be the ones that I liked… less. The 2014 Marvel Legends Ultimate Beetle figure fit into the latter category. To my surprise, though, I was so impressed with the Ultimate Beetle figure, I decided to lead off my Marvel Legends 2014 Spider-Man reviews with him…

Last week I talked about the magnificent Human Torch statue that Bowen Designs just released. But Johnny Storm isn’t the only character to get a new Bowen Statue released this month! Strikedown Thor and Astonishing Wolverine have begun shipping as well, and the latest Bowen Designs Marvel statue has also just started to arrive.

The Bowen Green Goblin (Museum Pose) statue has just flown in (sans Goblin Glider), and just might be the best Green Goblin statue ever…

Spider-Man Marvel Legends Toxin Figure Packaged Marvel Legends 2014

Once I saw that the Hong Kong scrappers had listed the Amazing Spider-Man 2 Marvel Legends variants online earlier this month, I was 100% certain that (for a change) these Marvel Legends variant swap figures would actually be released.

And lo and behold, they actually are coming–Spider-Man Legends Wave 2 is now up for pre-order! Unfortunately, the case ratios for Amazing Spider-Man Marvel Legends Series 2 are every bit as bad as we could have imagined…
