Avengers-mania is in full effect, with mountains of high-end and low-end product wherever you look, and Sideshow Collectibles will be adding one more drop to the flood themselves to celebrate the end of the Phase II MCU: the Sideshow Collectibles War Machine Maquette goes up for order today!

Kotobukiya Wolverine Brown Costume Statue Released

With Bowen Designs still on hiatus until further notice (if not forever), sixth scale Marvel statue collectors are suffering from some serious withdrawal. With quarter-scale statues being all the rage these days, collectors with limited space–or who just plain prefer something smaller–have had to turn to the only other company producing Marvel 1/6 statues: Kotobukiya. And after a long wait, the first 1/6 Kotobukiya Marvel statue of 2015 has arrived: the Danger Room Sessions Brown Costume Wolverine statue!

Kotobukiya Rogue Statue Danger Room Sessions 2015

While all eyes this week have been turned toward California (and a galaxy far, far away) for this year’s long-awaited Star Wars Celebration Anaheim, the world has kept on slowly turning for Marvel collectors as well.

A number of new items have gone up for order, including a product that’s been in development for literally years: the long-overdue X-Men Danger Room Sessions Rogue Kotobukiya statue!

Kotobukiya Deadpool & Headpool ARTFX+ Statue Variant Revealed!

Posted on by March 22, 2015
Kotobukiya Deadpool Headpool ARTFX+ Statue Variant Revealed

When Kotobukiya revealed their ARTFX+ Deadpool statue last year, it became the first “standalone” Marvel ARTFX+ statue, as it isn’t part of the Marvel NOW! Avengers or X-Men lineups. Of course, Kotobukiya might as well have just called this the “Deadpool Series”, because the third version of this Kotobukiya Deadpool ARTFX+ statue has now been revealed: Partially Unmasked Deadpool with Headpool!

Kotobukiya Jubilee Bishoujo Statue Review & Photos!

Kotobukiya Jubilee Bishoujo Statue Review & Photos

When it comes to the Kotobukiya line of Bishoujo statues, I’m one of the harshest critics out there. As much as I love most of Kotobukiya’s offerings, I often find their Bishoujo statues (such as Starfire and Spider-Woman) to be posed both demeaning and objectifying. There’s a first time for everything, though, and tonight I’ll be raving about the Kotobukiya Jubilee Bishoujo statue. Bishoujo Jubilee is available now for 20% off and free shipping online–Should you buy her…? Does a mall babe eat chili fries?

Kotobukiya Cyclops ARTFX+ X-Men Statue Revealed

I saw tons of fresh and exciting upcoming Marvel collectibles at New York Toy Fair 2015 last month, but the single biggest disappointment for me was what wasn’t at the show: the Kotobukiya X-Men ARTFX+ statues quietly announced at NYCC 2014.

I feared major delays, but luckily, I only had to wait a month to see the first complete prototype–the Marvel Now X-Men Kotobukiya Cyclops ARTFX+ statue!

Exclusive Sideshow White Black Widow Premium Format Statue!

Sideshow Premium Format Black Widow White Costume Edition Statue

Sideshow Collectibles must have decided that today was a slow day and it needed shaking up, because Sideshow hit up collectors today with a huge surprise: an in-stock and ready-to-ship, totally unannounced, exclusive White Black Widow Premium Format Figure stature variant–limited to just 200 pieces produced! While it’s not the most limited Marvel Premium Format statue ever released, it’s certainly among the shortest runs. And if you didn’t order it in the two and a half hours it was available, you’re out of luck–the Premium Format Black Widow White Edition is now sold out!

Kotobukiya Wasp Bishoujo Statue Fully Revealed Photos!

Bishoujo Wasp Kotobukiya Statue 2015 Marvel

Over the weekend, Kotobukiya revealed the full concept artwork for the upcoming Lady Deadpool Bishoujo statue.

I figured that Koto might at least be saving the official photos of the final Bishoujo Wasp prototype until after the New York Toy Fair 2015 (so that they could debut the actual Wasp statue at the event), but clearly that was not the plan: the Kotobukiya Wasp Bishoujo statue is now fully-revealed and up for order!

Kotobukiya Lady Deadpool Bishoujo Statue Concept Art

A couple days ago, Kotobukiya posted a small piece of a drawing of what appeared to be Bishoujo Lady Deadpool statue concept art. I figured that that was the teaser that would lead up to Kotobukiya debuting the full concept art for Lady Deadpool at the New York Toy Fair 2015 next weekend.

But, surprise! Kotobukiya had other ideas, as they premiered the full Kotobukiya Lady Deadpool Bishoujo statue concept drawing in Japan today!

Premium Format Red Hulk Statue Production Photos

It’s not exaggeration to say that Sideshow Collectibles put thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of Marvel Premium Format Figures up for order in 2014. But of all the Marvel statues Sideshow solicited last year, there’s one that I’ve been anticipating the arrival of more than other. And though there are still some available for order, he’s finally arrived: the Sideshow Red Hulk Premium Format Figure statue has now been released!

Kotobukiya Avengers Age of Ultron Statues

When we get into the second half of 2015, Star Wars is going to be everywhere–and I mean everywhere. But we’re still in the first half of 2015, and for now, everything is coming up Avengers! And in honor of what may become the highest-grossest superhero movie ever, a new series of statues has now been announced: movie-based Kotobukiya Avengers Age of Ultron ARTFX+ and ARTFX statues!

Sideshow Black Cat Statue (J. Scott Campbell) Teaser Photo!

Sideshow Black Cat Statue Maquette Teaser Released

Believe it or not, it was almost a full year ago to the day that Sideshow Collectibles announced the fourth statue in the line of J. Scott Campbell Spider-Man Maquettes: Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat! But while collectors waited patiently for the entirety of 2014 for the first image of the Sideshow Black Cat statue to be posted, ultimately the Black Cat never made her debut last year.

Some wondered if Sideshow had given up on the J. Scott Campbell statues line and quietly (silently) cancelled it, but fear not: the very first image of the J. Scott Campbell Black Cat statue has now been revealed!

Gentle Giant Black Widow Statue Close Up Captain America The Winter Soldier

2014 has been a mixed bag for Marvel statue collectors, as the original Marvel statue producer, Bowen Designs, exited Marvel statue production (possibly forever), while newcomers like XM Studios and Gentle Giant Ltd. entered the fray. No one was sure to expect when Gentle Giant announced their first Marvel Cinematic Universe statues in late 2013, but the Gentle Giant Captain America: The Winter Soldier Black Widow 18″ statue has now arrived, and the verdict is in: this statue is spectacular…

XM Studios Marvel Quicksilver Statue Running Pose Design

Have you been feeling an emptiness in your Marvel quarter-scale statue collecting heart lately? If so, it’s probably because Sideshow Collectibles hasn’t put a new Marvel 1/4 statue up for order in over two months! Yep–after putting a new Marvel Premium Format Figure up for order almost every other week during the summer, we haven’t had a new announcement in months. But popular newcomer XM Studios is stepping up to fill the void, with loads of upcoming statues–including the newly-revealed XM Studios Quicksilver statue!

Rocket Raccoon NECA Life-Size Action Figure

Life got a lot harder (and more expensive) this month for Rocket Raccoon figure completists, as NECA recently announced the largest and most expensive Rocket Raccoon figure ever.

I own a lot of Rocket Raccoon merch, but nothing as high-end as this: coming in January 2015, the three-foot tall NECA Rocket Raccoon life-size figure is now up for order!
