NYCC 2014 Marvel Minimates Wave 60 Revealed! Banshee! Blob!

Marvel Minimates Wave 60 Banshee Jubilee Storm Gambit Figures

Most of the exhibitors at New York Comic Con 2014 put out all of their new Marvel collectibles on the first day of the show, but at least one company held something glorious back in reserve. Diamond Select Toys had a great booth and display case full of Marvel toys when NYCC 2014 opened, but the display case got even better later on in the show, when an all-new wave of Marvel Minimates figures appeared–the Marvel Minimates Wave 60 Classic X-Men and Brotherhood of Evil Mutants series!

UPDATE: Marvel Minimates Wave 60 is now up for order!

Hot Toys Days of Future Past Wolverine Photos & Order Info!

X-Men Days of Future Past Wolverine Hot Toys Sixth Scale Figure

If there’s a real tragedy about this summer’s X-Men Days of Future Past movie (besides the absurd lack of merch released for the film), it’s that we never really got to see Future Wolverine in action in his stylish future costume.

But thanks to the considerate folks over at Hot Toys, soon we’ll all be able to make Wolverine fight to our hearts’ content in his future attire: the Hot Toys X-Men Days of Future Past Wolverine Sixth Scale Figure is now up for order!

Hot Toys X-Men Days of Future Past Wolverine Revealed!

Hot Toys X-Men DOFP Wolverine Figure Revealed

Well, this is new. We’ve learned about Marvel Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series sixth scale figures in a variety of ways before, but I am reasonably sure that this is the first time a new Hot Toys Marvel figure has ever been revealed via… small sticker on the front of a Japanese Blu-Ray (does that make the X-Men Days of Future Past Blu-Ray a must for Hot Toys collectors? I wonder…). The Hot Toys X-Men Days of Future license was announced way back in 2013, and it looks like in 2015 Hot Toys may actually have a figure lined up for us–the Hot Toys Days of Future Past Wolverine figure!

Funko X-Force Wolverine POP Vinyl Exclusive Re-Released!

Hot Topic Exclusive Funko X-Force Wolverine POP Vinyls Figure Packaged

Trying to collect Funko POP! Vinyls is a serious undertaking. The number of products Funko is releasing now on a yearly basis is downright insane, and Funko gives out exclusives like candy. Tracking down all of the exclusives is expensive business–but far better than waiting and paying aftermarket prices for them later on, as Funko exclusives are never reissued. At least they weren’t reissued… until now! If you missed him last year, you have another shot: the Hot Topic exclusive Funko X-Force Wolverine POP! Vinyl is back!

SDCC 2014: Sideshow Marvel 1/6 Deadpool Wolverine Punisher!

SDCC 2014 Deadpool Sideshow Sixth Scale Figure

For years, sixth scale collectors who love Marvel comics themselves and not necessarily the movies have felt left out in the cold and abandoned. Every exquisite new Marvel Hot Toys sixth scale figure released has been a little bit of salt rubbed into the wound, as increasing number of Marvel movie-based 1/6 figures are released year after year. But sixth scale collectors who are Marvel comic book fans won’t have to feel unloved any longer–at San Diego Comic Con 2014, Sideshow Collectibles announced the impending line of Sideshow Marvel sixth scale figures based on the comics!

Marvel Legends X-Men Series Details & Photos

Marvel Legends Stryfe X-Men Jubilee Build-A-Figure Wave Packaged

Last week word broke (fresh from Japan!) that we were getting a quasi-unexpected Marvel Legends X-Men Infinite Series this summer! Sweetening the deal, the long-lost (and much-wanted) first-ever Jubilee Build-A-Figure has been moved from last year’s cancelled Marvel Legends wave to this new X-Men Legends wave!

I was wondering why we hadn’t heard about these figures sooner, though, and now we know why–the X-Men Marvel Legends figures are a Toys R Us exclusive series…

X-Men Marvel Legends 2014 Figures Series Revealed w/ Jubilee?!

X-Men Marvel Legends 2014 Figures Jubilee Build-A-Figure Series

Well, this is certainly a first. For what has got to be one of the oddest reveals in Hasbro Marvel Legends action figures history, we’ve learned of a new Marvel Legends 2014 assortment of figures… from a Japanese magazine. No, really.

A hi-res photo has surfaced that gives us the goods on five all-new, never-before-seen X-Men Marvel Legends 2014 figures, as well as what appears to be confirmation that this set will come along with… the long-lost Marvel Legends Jubilee Build-A-Figure!

X-Men Days of Future Past Minimates Figures Revealed!

X-Men Days of Future Past Minimates Xavier Mystique Magneto

As crazy as it sounds, we’re just one month away from the X-Men Days of Future Past movie–and up until today, not a single toy has been shown for the movie by any manufacturer. But wait! As usual, swooping in to save the day, it’s Diamond Select Toys! While Hasbro has shown a great big nada as far as X-Men Days of Future Past figures go, Diamond Select Toys has a whole lineup of X-Men Days of Future Past Minimates figures heading our way–including past and future versions of Xavier and Magneto!

X-Men Marvel Legends Phoenix Five Cyclops Figure For Sale!

Phoenix Five Cyclops Marvel Legends Prototype Figure

Hasbro has really dropped the ball over the past few years as far as getting Marvel Legends variant figures that they’ve shown off publicly into stores. While there’s still hope for some of these figures (like Bulldozer and Classic Hawkeye) to make it to retail, some of them are lost to us forever. One such figure is the Marvel Legends Phoenix Five Cyclops figure. But although Hasbro has confirmed they’ll never mass-produce this action figure, you still have a chance to own one, as a Wolverine Legends Phoenix Five Cyclops figure prototype has now surfaced for auction this week!

Bowen Astonishing X-Men Wolverine Statue Released!

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

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…
