Posted on by March 28, 2020
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?

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. And at Toy Fair, DST expanded their offerings further by debuting Spider-Man, Deadpool, Mysterio and more!

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!

Posted on by March 2, 2020

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…

Posted on by February 16, 2020
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?

New York Toy Fair 2020 is just a short 10 days away—but before I get to NYC to photograph and preview a plethora of upcoming Hasbro Marvel Legends 2020 figures, I’ve got some catching up to do talking about some recently-released ones! And this time out, I knew the figure I wanted to review first—because he’s a cagey old codger who refuses to wait: the 2020 Marvel Legends Vulture figure headlining the Spider-Man Demogoblin Series is now available!

With New York Toy Fair 2020 just two weeks and change away, I expected Hasbro to hold all their cards close to their vest until the event.

Funko POP 2020 Venomized Venom Series Vinyl Figures

Just like you should never underestimate a droid, you should never underestimate Funko. When Funko launched their inaugural Venomized POP Vinyls in 2018 featuring characters like Venom Hulk and Captain America, I thought the series would find a niche audience and then fizzle. Instead, they’re kicking off 2020 with a third wave of the best-selling line: Funko POP Venomized Punisher, Ultron, Miles, Baby Groot and more are now up for order! And oh yeah—there’s a Hot Topic Exclusive Green Goblin Venom up for PO as well…

Marvel Legends 2019 Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter Figure Review

I hoped to kick off my 2020 reviews with an actual Marvel Legends 2020 figure review, but I was foiled by the fact that, well… I haven’t received any of the 2020 Marvel Legends figures I ordered yet. Alas! And so, for my first review of the new decade, I’ve got to dip into my cache of unreviewed action figures from the last decade. The Hasbro Marvel Legends Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter figure is discounted to just 12 bucks now and is the first 6” Julia since Toybiz did theirs 13 years ago—has Hasbro outdone their ML predecessor this time out?
