Bowen Astonishing X-Men Wolverine Statue Released!

Posted on by February 6, 2014
Bowen Designs Astonishing Wolverine Statue with Gambit Statue X-Men

With no Bowen Designs contract extension with Marvel confirmed, Spring and Summer 2014 (and perhaps even beyond that) are going to be a drought for Bowen Marvel statue collectors the likes of which haven’t been seen in years. But before that, we still have a couple months to bask in the glory of the deluge of the final Marvel Bowen statues solicited in 2013. And the latest statue to arrive is the modern incarnation of one of Marvel’s top-tier characters–the Bowen Designs Astonishing Wolverine statue!

Hot Toys Heartbreaker & Iron Man Mark 42 Figures Delayed

Posted on by February 4, 2014
Sideshow Iron Man 3 Iron Man Mark XLII Hot Toys Figure

There’s some good news and some bad news for Marvel Hot Toys collectors today. The good news is that one of this year’s less-anticipated figures is getting pushed forward by several months.

The bad news is that two of this year’s most-anticipated releases are delayed by up to half a year each. If you’re waiting for the Hot Toys Heartbreaker Iron Man and Iron Man Mark 42 MMS figures (like me), you’re going to have to wait a while more than you hoped…

Marvel Super Hero Mashers Venom Falcon Loki Doc Ock Announced!

Marvel Superhero Mashers Venom Packaged with Carnage Arm

Though Hasbro’s new-for-2014 “Marvel Super Hero Mashers” action figures aren’t tops on most collectors’ lists, the line seems to be at least moderately well-received at retail, where I’m seeing most characters (that aren’t Hawkeye) sold out on a regular basis. And it’s a lucky thing that the line is selling decently so far, as Hasbro has several more assortments planned for the first half of 2014, including the recently-announced Marvel Super Hero Mashers Venom, Falcon Loki, Doc Ock and Green Goblin figures!

Wolverine Legends Puck Series Figures Released w/ Emma Frost!

Hasbro Wolverine Legends Series Puck Build A Figure Released

Slowly but surely, the last 2013 Hasbro Marvel figures are finding their way to retail! Though the Wolverine Legends Puck Series of Marvel Legends 6″ figures missed the theatrical release of “The Wolverine” movie by two months, this series of Wolverine Marvel Legends figures never really had anything to do with the movie to begin with (other than the fact that Wolverine stars in both). Instead, this 6″ Wolverine Legends action figure series features some of the most-wanted Hasbro 6″ figures, including Emma Frost. Unfortunately, if you want these figures–particularly Emma–it’s going to cost you…

Kidrobot Marvel Labbit Series Blind Box Vinyl Figures Released!

Marvel Labbit Series Blind Box Case Ratios

One cool thing about being a Marvel collector is that with the sheer magnitude of the number of different items released every year, you’re liable to run into things you didn’t even know existed when you’re out shopping casually. This doesn’t happen to me often (at all), but this weekend I stumbled across one of this year’s most bizarre Marvel lines: the new Kidrobot Marvel Labbit Vinyl Figures Blind Box series! If you’ve ever dreamed of owning Galactus in the form of a small plastic rabbit, now’s your chance…

Hot Toys The Wolverine 1/6 Figure Revealed & Up for Order!

Hot Toys The Wolverine Hugh Jackman Head Sculpt 2014

I woke up this morning, rolled over, flicked on my iPhone, and found myself staring into the sneering, ticked-off face of Hugh Jackman. It was a good morning.

Out of the blue and defying expectations, Hot Toys abruptly fully-revealed their “The Wolverine” Hot Toys sixth scale figure, based on the summer’s (not-quite) blockbuster Wolverine movie! Coming in 2014, the Hot Toys The Wolverine Movie Masterpiece Series figure is now up for pre-order!

Marvel Minimates The Wolverine Movie Figures (Wave 52) Released!

Posted on by September 9, 2013
The Wolverine Movie Marvel Minimates Wave 52 Figures Set

Many toy manufacturers would cower in terror before turning tail and running away from the prospect of producing action figures for a superhero movie in which only one character has super powers, the main cast is full of civilians and women, and no one wears a costume. Diamond Select Toys is not one of those companies, and is in fact the only toy company to make a near-comprehensive figure line based on this summer’s “The Wolverine” movie–The Wolverine Marvel Minimates Wave 52 figures have now been released in stores!

Marvel Select The Wolverine Movie Figure Released!

Marvel Select The Wolverine Figure Packaged

My expectations were set pretty low for the not-quite-summer-blockbuster 2013 “The Wolverine” movie, but this Wolverine movie ended up being a far more satisfying experience than its predecessor. Even so, wary toy companies didn’t exactly flock to make merchandise for “The Wolverine”, and we got a grand total of zero mass-market action figures in time for the movie. However, Diamond Select Toys has finally swooped in to the rescue, beginning with this super-impressive 7″ Marvel Select The Wolverine figure that has just been released!

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!

Marvel Funko Logan POP! Vinyl Factory Error — Not A Bobble Head

Posted on by July 1, 2013
Marvel Funko POP! Vinyl Logan Figure Error in Box Not a Bobble Head

When the new Marvel Funko Logan POP! Vinyl started hitting stores a few weeks ago, it quickly became apparent that Logan was a little bit different from all of his Funko Marvel POP! Vinyl brethren released the last few years.

No, the big controversy isn’t that Funko made Logan’s hair way too brown (even though they did)–it’s the fact that this Logan Funko POP! Vinyl Bobble Head isn’t a Bobble Head at all…

Bowen Astonishing Wolverine & Green Goblin Statues Up for Order!

Bowen Designs October 2013 Marvel Statues

When you collect a line as long as I’ve collected Bowen Designs Marvel sculptures, you expect to see some familiar faces redone. Such is the case with the October 2013 Bowen statues that have just gone up for order, as both statues are of characters that we’ve seen multiple times before in the Bowen Marvel Statues line. One of the characters has appeared twice before from Bowen and the other a near uncountable number of times–it’s the Bowen Designs Green Goblin Museum Statue and Astonishing X-Men Wolverine Statues!

Wolverine Movie Action Figures Released by Hasbro!

Wolverine Movie Figures Released Silver Samurai Ninja Logan

I promise that I didn’t purposely go out looking for them, but I did happen to stumble upon the Hasbro “The Wolverine” movie figures at Toys R Us this weekend. It’s pretty unusual for new Marvel action figures to be out in stores in New England before I’ve heard loads of people talking about having found and bought them online beforehand. Of course, in this case, that might be because while collectors have found the movie Wolverine figures in stores, they may not actually be buying them…

Kidrobot Marvel MUNNY Vinyl Figures Coming Summer 2013!

Kidrobot Marvel MUNNY Venom Vinyl Figure

Last week I discussed the upcoming Disney Vinylmation Marvel Series #1 lineup of Avengers Marvel vinyl figures–but Disney isn’t the only toy company looking to cash in on Marvel vinyls in 2013! Coming up later this summer, Kidrobot will take their own crack at Marvel designer vinyls, when they release their first wave of Kidrobot Marvel MUNNY vinyl figures in various sizes and even keychains!

Wolverine Marvel Legends Exclusive to Online Stores & Comic Shops?

Wolverine Legends Marvel Legends Rogue and Emma Frost Action Figures

Some startling news for Hasbro 6″ Marvel Legends collectors was discovered in the Toys section of the new July 2013 Previews Magazine (Issue 298). In what I believe is a first for Hasbro’s Marvel brand, the Wolverine Legends Marvel Legends series is apparently going to be a Previews exclusive.

That might sound scary at first. But don’t panic. That’s not necessarily a bad thing…

At the rate we’re going, we just may know every Marvel San Diego Comic Con exclusive toy from every company within a few more days. Hot on the heels of last week’s Hasbro and Diamond Select Toys reveals, we learned about three of the Funko Marvel POP! Vinyl exclusives yesterday.
