Begun, the Carnage wars have! Carnage has long been one of the most popular and recognizable villains in comic books, and over the last couple years we’ve gotten new collectibles of the serial-killing symbiote from almost every major company. And so it should come as no shock that another company is now ready to enter the ring: the import Medicom MAFEX Carnage figure is now up for order! With so much competition out there, can the Carnage MAFEX really stand out…?

While companies look the other way and ignore early reactions to products far too often for many fans’ liking, this week we’ve seen two examples where feedback was heard and the art is a vast improvement as a result. The first example was the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, where Sonic at least looks like himself and not a monster now (even if the writing still doesn’t seem impeccable). The other—and actually relevant—instance is the latest Sideshow Collectibles statue: the J. Scott Campbell Spider-Man & Mary Jane maquette is now up for order!

Just when many collectors had written off the possibility of any new Diamond Select Toys 7″ figures from the latest Spider-Man movie as “not happening”, one such figure quietly and accidentally slipped out into a few Disney Stores last week. And now it’s official—the Disney Exclusive Far From Home Spider-Man figure is up for order online! If you’ve ever dreamed of buying a Spidey action figure that came with a Union Jack flag, this is your time! And as it so happens, it’s also the last day to take 25% off on the Shop Disney website using code “DISNEYPAL”–don’t miss it!

We’re approaching a year since the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movie hit theaters, but a lot of companies are still in the midst of playing the catch-up game with merch for the much-beloved animated movie. Good Smile Company kicked off their line in the summer with a far-too-cool Miles Morales Nendoroid, and now they’re ready to launch his first “teammate”—the Nendoroid Spider-Gwen figure is now up for order! And for those who can’t get enough of Gwen—there’s a DX Version with two bodies on the menu as well!

Spooktacular may be over, but Sideshow Collectibles has one more major limited Marvel collectible to solicit this week! With the ultra-popular Scarlet Spider MMS now arriving in collectors’ hands, the time has come the next super-limited Spidey to launch: the exclusive Hot Toys Negative Suit Spider-Man figure is now up for order! And that’s not the only LE 1/6 variant HT had for fans this week–another crazy, Tron-like Iron Man armor went up for PO as well in the form of Neon Tech War Machine!

The first two Marvel Legends Build-A-Figures of next year (Super Skrull and Demogoblin) may have only been revealed exactly zero business days ago, but Hasbro is already ready to move in for the kill and lock in collectors’ 2020 dollars! That’s right–although they’re still months away from shipping, the Marvel Legends Fantastic Four and Spider-Man series are up for order now!
Here’s the direct links to the individuals for those who prefer Amazon:
Vulture ►
Shang Chi, Master of Kung Fu! ►
She-Hulk ►
I haven’t spotted the Spider-Armor Mark III PS4 Spider-Man GamerVerse variant on Amazon just yet, but he is available for PO now on BBTS.

One weekend! Two conventions! Two European countries! Four all-new Marvel Legends 2020 reveals! Hasbro brought the big guns to MCM London and Paris Comic Con this weekend, where they not only announced that the first two 2020 Marvel Legends figures series would go on sale on Monday, but they also revealed four never-before-seen action figures: Spymaster! Winter Soldier! And the Demogoblin and Super Skrull Build-A-Figures!

While it may seem like every major high-end collectibles company in the world is churning out Marvel products these days, there are actually still some holdouts out there. But that number is decreasing by one this week, as Pop Culture Shock Collectibles will be entering the fray this week with their first-ever Marvel Statue: the PCS 1:3 PS4 Spider-Man GamerVerse Statue Exclusive is now up for order! I saw it at NYCC—was I impressed enough to take notice?

UPDATE 10/2/2019:
As expected, the Marvel Legends Punisher War Machine is now up for order online, as it turns out that he’s a regular Fan Channel Exclusive and not a Gamestop exclusive as some fans had speculated for whatever reason. Hopefully none of you fed the scalpers, because now you can buy this War Machine Punisher figure online all day long for MSRP!

As a mega-fan of 1990s Marvel Comics, I’ve been wanting a super-articulated action figure of Maximum Carnage fan-favorite Dopperlganger Spider ever since I was a pre-teen. While I was hyped when word leaked out he was in the works, I was mortified when I realized what his body mold choice was going to be. Now that the Marvel Legends Doppelganger Spider-Man is readily available online, I finally got up the courage to spend some time with him and render judgment in my review…

We’re now approaching a full two years to the day when Sideshow Collectibles unveiled the three initial statues in their Mark Brooks Spider-Man statue line at New York Comic Con 2017. After nearly two years with no new additions to that trio, it would stand to reason that the series was dead, right…? Wrong! Blindsiding basically everybody, Sideshow surprise-teaser another entry last week, and now it’s officially on the way: the Sideshow Exclusive Mark Brooks Black Cat Statue is now up for order!

Spider-Man collectors had a legit reason to fear we’d only be getting MCU Spidey variants from Hot Toys this year as part of the Spider-Man Far From Home MMS Series. For a variety of reasons, Lizard got no 1/6 figure; Rhino got no 1/6 figure; Vulture got no 1/6 figure. But tragedy (okay, maybe not tragedy in Rhino’s case) shan’t repeat itself again, and FFH Spidey won’t have to go enemy-less: the Hot Toys Mysterio figure is now up for order! We had to wait a long time for this announcement and it’ll be longer still for him to arrive—will this 1:6 Mysterio be worth it?

If there’s one thing you can count on with Marvel Hot Toys sixth scale figures, it’s that popular versions of main characters will almost without fail get exorbitantly expensive on the aftermarket once they’re sold out. Such was the case with the Homecoming Homemade Suit Spider-Man, which exploded to more than double its original price on the aftermarket this year. But HT has heard the cries of fans loud and clear: a reissue Hot Toys Homemade Suit Spider-Man Figure with new Mysterio Drone and other cool accessories is now up for order!

Another week, another company getting in on some of that sweet, sweet Miles Morales merch money! Up until now, Good Smile Company has had their Marvel Nendoroids focus squarely on characters with their own live-action movies—but the success of Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse was too monumental to ignore, and the Nendoroid Miles Morales Spider-Man figure is now up for order! The DX version comes with loads of accessories including a whole second body—but is this 4” figure worthy of his $80+ MSRP?

San Diego Comic Con 2019 has only been in the books for a few weeks, but Hasbro is already back at it again with more reveals of new Marvel Legends 2020 figures at the Unboxing Toy Convention in Mexico! We … Continue Reading →
