Limited Hot Toys Thor Light Asgardian Armor Version Pre-Order!

Posted on by October 30, 2013
Thor 2 Hot Toys Thor Light Armor Sixth Scale Figure

In a bit of a surprising twist this morning, Hot Toys simultaneously announced their MMS 224 Thor The Dark World Thor Movie Masterpiece Series figure at the same time as they announced the limited variant for the figure. If you’ve been waiting with bated breath for Hot Toys to churn out an unspeakably lame exclusive, you’re in luck! I’m one of those people whose eyes Hot Toys can ordinarily do no wrong in, but even I have to admit this particular limited Hot Toys figure is pretty weak. Coming in 2014–the MMS 225 Hot Toys Thor Light Asgardian Armor Version Figure is now available for order!

Funko Thor The Dark World Thor with Helmet POP Vinyl Released!

Funko Thor The Dark World Thor with Helmet POP Vinyls Hot Topic Exclusive Figure

You never know what you’re going to find while walking around New York Comic Con, but one thing I definitely wasn’t expecting any of the dealers at NYCC 2013 to have at the show was something that I hadn’t seen before (because, you know–I’m pretty well-informed). Even so, one of the dealer booths at last weekend’s 2013 NYCC managed to surprise me by having a few Funko POP! Vinyls I hadn’t seen before, including the fabled Funko Thor The Dark World Thor with Helmet POP Vinyl figure…

NYCC 2013: Kotobukiya Marvel Now Hawkeye & Thor Statues Photos!

Posted on by October 13, 2013
Hawkeye Kotobukiya ARTFFX+ Statue 1/10 Scale Prototype

After a pretty wild time at New York Comic Con 2013, I’m back to continue on with my Marvel coverage of the event! One booth I was particularly interested in checking out was the Kotobukiya booth. Since Kotobukiya fully-revealed the Avengers Now Black Widow ARFTX+ statue about a week ago, I figured we’d be seeing the painted Marvel Now Captain America statue on display joining her at NYCC 2013. I was totally wrong. At the 2013 NYCC, the brand-new sculpts for the Kotobukiya Marvel Now Hawkeye and Thor ARTFX+ statues were revealed!

Marvel Select Thor The Dark World Figures Officially Revealed!

Posted on by October 2, 2013
Marvel Select Thor The Dark World Thor Figure Packaged

I don’t think Diamond Select Toys was exactly keen on people taking photos of the Thor: The Dark World Marvel Select Jane Foster figure at SDCC 2013 back in July, but we got our first glimpse of the Marvel Select Natalie Portman (and Thor) figures at the show anyway.

It’s been a few months, but Diamond Select is finally ready for the (non-dark) world to see the Dark World figures–it’s the official unveiling of the Thor: The Dark World Jane Foster and Thor Marvel Select figures!

Thor 2 The Dark World Minimates Wave 53 Figures Lineup & Photos

Posted on by October 2, 2013
Thor The Dark World Minimates Malekith Figure

It’s pretty hard to believe that it’s October now, which means we’re only a month away from the Thor 2 movie hitting in theaters, as “Thor: The Dark World” will be released on November 8, 2013. Unfortunately, Thor’s been getting snubbed a bit when it comes to Thor: The Dark World figures and collectibles. The good news is that Diamond Select Toys isn’t totally ignoring Thor 2 and is releasing eight Thor The Dark World Minimates figures to specialty stores. The bad news is that the best four figures planned for Thor: The Dark World Minimates aren’t going to be released at all…

Funko Loki Black & White Exclusive POP! Vinyl Figure Announced!

Loki Funko Exclusive POP! Vinyl Thor 2 Black & White

From what I’ve heard, the Loki POP! Vinyl figure that is part of the Funko Thor: The Dark World POP! Vinyls series of figure bobble-heads is far and away the best seller in the bunch. This is hardly a shocker, as the previous POP! Vinyls Loki figures are outrageously expensive and hard-to-get on the aftermarket. What is a bit unexpected is that we’re getting a just-announced exclusive Funko Black and White Loki POP! Vinyl variant for next month’s Comikaze 2013!

Thor 2 The Dark World Hasbro Movie Figures Released!

Thor 2 Movie Figures Released Hasbro Toys Dark Elf

I heard reports of the Thor: The Dark World figures from Hasbro hitting stores in decent numbers about a week ago, and this weekend I finally managed to track them down in person.

Unfortunately, it appears that stores forgot to send Hasbro a memo to let them know that there are thousands (maybe millions) of figures of Thor himself still in stores from two years ago…

Posted on by October 11, 2017
Uncanny X-Men #12 Cover Battle of the Atom

I read a lot of comic books every month, and sometimes I get the itch to review them. As it’s comic books more than any other form of media that fuel my action figure collecting hobby, I’m including comic book reviews here on Marvel Toy News (if you don’t like it, yell at me).

In this installment, I’ll be covering comics released on 9/18/2013, including reviews of Infinity #3, New Avengers #10, Uncanny X-Men #12, Thor God of Thunder #18 and more…

Thor The Dark World Funko POP! Vinyl Figures Loki and Thor

We’ve known that Funko was planning a series of Thor The Dark World POP! Vinyls figures for a while now, but Funko has shrouded images of the figures in secrecy. They weren’t shown at San Diego Comic 2013, and we didn’t even know the full character assortment–until now!

Coming to stores this fall in time for the theatrical release of the Thor 2 movie, it’s the Funko Thor The Dark World POP! Vinyls Loki, Dark Elf and Thor figures!

2013 Marvel Legends Wrecker Figure Close-Up

After a brief recession to enjoy this bounty of new Marvel Legends 2013 figures that Hasbro has bequeathed upon us, I’m fully recharged and ready to review the second half of Marvel Legends Wave 5! This time, it’s the penultimate member of the Wrecking Crew–its leader and most famous member–Marvel Legends The Wrecker!

In some welcome (albeit unexpected) news this week, Diamond Select Toys has announced the surprising reissue of a Marvel Select figure which was first released last summer as a limited store exclusive.

Scheduled to be re-released in October 2013, just in time for the arrival of “Thor: The Dark World” in theaters, it’s the Marvel Select Classic Thor action figure!

Marvel Vinylmation Series 1 Figures Photos Debut at D23 Expo 2013!

Marvel Vinylmation Series 1 Thor Figure Trading Card Photo

We knew going into this weekend’s D23 Expo 2013 that that first series of Disney Vinylmation Marvel figures wasn’t going to be until fall, so there were zero expectations for an early release at the convention or anything like that. But sometimes it’s nice to have the bar set low, because then you can be pleasantly surprised!

No, Disney didn’t sell the series at the show, but they did give out free promotional trading cards showing off photos of the Vinylmation Marvel Series 1 figures for the very first time!

If you’ve been holding off on adding the Hot Toys Thor sixth scale figure to your Hot Toys Avengers 1/6 figure lineup, it’s officially time to start thinking about adding him to your collection–pronto!

Though he’s lasted longer in-stock than any of his mere mortal brethren, North American Hot Toys Distributor Sideshow Collectibles is finally “sold out” of the Thor Hot Toys God of Thunder, with online retailers on the verge of selling out as well…

Thor 2 Marvel Select Jane Foster Figure SDCC 2013 Natalie Portman

San Diego Comic Con 2013 has come and gone now, and while I’m extremely pleased with most of what was shown for Marvel figures (for the most part), one line that I felt a little let down by was the usually awesome Diamond Select Toys Marvel Select display. That’s not to say the 2013 SDCC Marvel Select display was a total loss. Though DST didn’t show anything previously unannounced at SDCC 2013, they did debut the movie Thor 2 Marvel Select figures of Thor and Jane Foster from “Thor: The Dark World”!

Marvel Minimates Wave 54 Baron Strucker Madame Hydra and Hydra Soldiers Figures 2013

While all of the most prominent companies that make Marvel figures, statues and toys made their presence known at this week’s San Diego Comic Con 2013, some of the smaller manufacturers–including Diamond Select Toys–brought their A-Game to the show as well! Art Asylum had been holding out on us for a while so that they’d have lots of new figures to debut at SDCC 2013, including the just-revealed and very awesome Marvel Minimates Wave 54 and Toys R Us Marvel Minimates Wave 18!
