Kotobukiya Black Cat Steals Your Heart Bishoujo Statue Photos & Order Info!

Kotobukiya Black Cat Steals Your Heart Bishoujo Statue PVC Figure

Kotobukiya only brought along a singular piece of concept art for their long-running Marvel Bishoujo statues series when they travelled to New York Toy Fair 2020 during the winter, so there was never any mystery regarding what the next release would be: Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat. The original 2011 release required an awful support stand and looked too much like a little girl for me, so I had high hopes for this new iteration. And now that the Kotobukiya Black Cat Steals Your Heart Bishoujo statue is up for order, I’m happy to say that my optimism has been rewarded…

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Shang-Chi Master of Kung Fu Figure (Hasbro 2020)

Hasbro Shang-Chi Marvel Legends 2020 Figure Review

I’ve been rationing out reviews for the last few 2020 Marvel Legends figures I’ve received thus far–and I’m not willing to go out for a pandemic toy run–so hopefully the next waves of Hasbro Marvel Legends ship via online retailers soon. But in the meantime, I’ve got at least one headliner (at least to hardcore comic book fans!) figure left to review! The first-ever 6″ Shang-Chi Legends figure is now available for order in the Spider-Man Demogoblin Series–has Hasbro done a masterful job with the Master of Kung Fu?

Marvel Legends Mysterio Retro Exclusive 6” Figure Up for Order! (2020 Spider-Man)

Marvel Legends Mysterio Exclusive Spider-Man Retro Series Figure

It’s been quiet times as of late, but Hasbro has finally broken the silence with a reveal today that ought to make some noise amongst collectors of Marvel 6″ figures: an Exclusive Marvel Legends Mysterio figure in Retro Packaging is now up for order! Many fans missed the comic book-based Mysterio that came out two years back–and that figure now sells for hefty prices on the aftermarket–so I imagine this updated version of Spider-Man Legends Mysterio is definitely going to excite plenty of fans missing this classic villain from their collections!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Velocity Suit Spider-Man Figure (PS4 GamerVerse)

Close-Up of Spider-Man Legends Velocity Suit Action Figure Demogoblin Series

The Marvel toy news drought continues while the collecting world is mostly on hold because of COVID-19, so let’s take a look at another 2020 Marvel Legends figure review that I’ve had in the queue! Last time I looked at the Spider Armor Mark III figure, which I ended up liking far more than I was expecting to. This time, let’s see if the other Spidey variant in the wave fares as well! The Marvel Legends Velocity Suit Spider-Man figure is required to build the Demogoblin BAF, and is the only pure GamerVerse figure in the wave: is it also any good?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Spider-Man Spider Armor Mark III Figure (Demogoblin Wave)

Hasbro Spider Armor Mark 3 Figure Review 2020 Marvel Legends

Up until now, I’ve been cherry-picking and talking about the most hyped and most popular figures from the 2020 Spider-Man Marvel Legends Demogoblin Series. But since it’s a requisite to buy all six figures to build the Demogoblin Build-A-Figure, I’m going to have to talk about every figure in the wave—including one of the weirder Spider-Man costumes Hasbro has done to-date! Marvel Legends Spider Armor Mark III is still available online discounted with Prime shipping despite the pandemic—is it worth ordering out for while you’re stuck at home?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Demogoblin Build-A-Figure (Hasbro Spider-Man 2020)

Close-Up of Marvel Legends Demogoblin Action Figure BAF

Marvel Legends news and new releases have slowed to a crawl over the last month–but that’s okay, because it’s giving me a chance to catch up on my 2020 Marvel Legends reviews without falling further behind! And the first figure I want to review while getting back on the wagon is the second BAF of the year (with the first being the superb Fantastic Four Series Super Skrull)! You’ll have to purchase the entire first Spider-Man Marvel Legends 2020 wave to build the Demogoblin Build-A-Figure: is he worth it?

Toy Fair 2020 DST Marvel Animated Busts and Statues

Two Marvel topics guaranteed to get me warm and fuzzy are Marvel mini busts and the various 90s animated cartoon series (headlined by the X-Men and Spider-Man cartoons). I never thought those two facets would come together—but thanks to Diamond Select Toys, now they have! The low-priced Jim Lee Cyclops bust kicking off the line just shipped out, with guaranteed hits like Wolverine and Magneto coming up fast.

Toy Fair 2020 Diamond Select Marvel Premier Collection Statues

While Diamond Select Toys brought along a sizable assortment of all new Marvel Gallery statues to premiere at New York Toy Fair for PVC collectors, that doesn’t mean they were ignoring their fans of higher-end resin pieces! DST also publicly displayed a half-dozen new resin Marvel Premier Collection statues at Toy Fair 2020, including Rhino, Bullseye, movie Deadpool, Colossus, Old Man Logan and more! In a world where most resin statue prices are exploding, are these new value-priced entries worth a look when they go up for order this year?

Toy Fair: DST Marvel Gallery VS Series Revealed! Vision! Wasp! Wolverine!

One of my favorite booths to visit that I can count on to be at virtually every event that I attend is Diamond Select Toys. This year’s New York Toy Fair 2020 was no exception! Even though there were no new Marvel Select figures shown (aside from the PS4 Spider-Man packaging), DST brought the big game with so many Marvel Gallery figures that will be up for pre-order this year, I can’t fit them all in one article! So I’ll split it in two, and start by looking at the new Marvel Gallery VS statue PVCs, including Wasp, Vision, Wolverine, classic Iron Man and more…

Review Hasbro White Rabbit Marvel Legends Spider-Man Figure

If there was any speck of doubt left that we are living in a crazy golden age of Marvel Legends action figures, the subject of today’s review should remove all doubt. She’s one of the wildest and most off-the-wall additions to the Spider-Man Legends series ever (and I think that says a lot!): the Hasbro Marvel Legends White Rabbit figure is shipping now from online retailers and flying off the shelves in the stores where she’s appeared! Is this whimsical and elusive White Rabbit worth chasing after?
