REVIEW: X-Men Marvel Legends Caliban Build-A-Figure

Posted on by May 7, 2019
Close-Up of X-Men Legends Caliban Figure

The most-anticipated series of every year for a large contingent of Marvel Legends collectors is the annual X-Men Legends series, and while we’ve got some offshoot waves coming later in the year, the core wave has begun arriving! While this is another stacked series, the 2019 X-Men Legends Build-A-Figure is a little… less… demanded than the majority of the wave. The Marvel Legends Caliban BAF can already be found for around just 50 bucks online… but is he comparatively cheap because he’s bad, or just in low demand…?

SDCC 2019 Exclusives Diamond Select Toys Marvel Gallery Legends in 3D Busts

Although it’s just the second day of May, it’s never too early to start planning for the biggest collecting event of the summer: San Diego Comic Con! And in that vein, Diamond Select Toys is striking first blood this year: the full range of DST SDCC 2019 Exclusives are now up for pre-order online!

Kotobukiya Domino Bishoujo Statue (1/7 PVC Figure) Up for Order!

Close-Up of Domino Kotobukiya Bishoujo Figure

Kotobukiya Marvel Bishoujo collectors have had a rather boring last few years, as the last time a new character went up for order was in 2017—and that Captain Marvel Bishoujo figure was cancelled until further notice and has never come out at all. But patience is a virtue, and the line lives on: after appearing in unpainted form at New York Toy Fair 2019, the Kotobukiya Domino Bishoujo Statue is now up for order!

Marvel Legends X-Force Series Revealed Toy Fair 2019

The Vintage X-Men Marvel Legends Series I discussed yesterday wasn’t the only heavily-rumored wave of figures that Hasbro officially confirmed at the 2019 Toy Fair over the weekend: the much-speculated 2019 Marvel Legends X-Force Wave is also coming to fruition with an eclectic group of characters including Nightcrawler, Cannonball, Mr. Sinister, Boom Boom and more!

New York Toy Fair 2019 Marvel Legends Scorpion Figure

Hey guys! I’m back from the New York Toy Fair 2019 Hasbro Media Presentation, which was one of the most mind-blowing experiences of my life–and that was just the opening song and dance number by the Hasbro higher-ups set to “Be Our Guest”! (Sadly, recording was expressly forbidden.) Anyway, I’ve taken over half a thousand hi-res Marvel Legends photos, which I’ll be uploading over the course of tonight to the Marvel Toy News Facebook, Instagram and Twitter Pages. Thanks and enjoy the coverage!

Domino Sideshow Collectibles Premium Format Figure Statue Close-Up

Sideshow Collectibles put a record-breaking five female X-Men Premium Format Figures up for order last year, but it looks like the party isn’t over for fans of the X-Ladies just yet! Though I’m not sure she’s ever technically been part of the core “X-Men” team, her movie appearance in Deadpool 2 and relationship with Cable has put her on the map as a major fan-favorite: the 1:4 Sideshow Exclusive Domino Premium Format Figure is now up for order! And this is another piece I would say is definitely “EX or bust”…

ONE 12 Collective Cable X-Men Costume Variant with Eye Lit Up

While the biggest news this past week was Hasbro’s reveal of the final figure in the Captain Marvel Legends Series and the packaging for the wave, there were a couple other items of interest I want to backtrack and talk about. And one of them is the latest exclusive addition to the Mezco ONE:12 Collective Marvel 6” figure line: The ONE:12 Collective Cable X-Men variant is now up for order! (You didn’t think Mezco Toyz would let the chance for a popular X-Men costume variant get away, did you?)

Marvel Animated Storm Statue and Cable Mini Bust Gentle Giant Ltd

The flame of the once mighty Marvel mini busts collecting world has all but gone out following the end of Bowen Designs a few years back, but Gentle Giant Ltd. is still fighting the good fight with an occasional bust or two. And after debuting it at SDCC 2018, they’ve made good on the promise of their next bust: the Gentle Giant Cable mini bust is now up for order! Oh, and fear not, Skottie Young fans: the Marvel Animated Storm Statue is ready to PO as well!

Cable Marvel Premier Collection Statue Review Photos

It seems like hardly a week goes by when there’s not some new high-end Marvel Statue to talk about that costs a half a grand (or more!). But fear not, collectors who love statues but don’t love spending exorbitant amounts of cash on them: Diamond Select Toys has you covered with their reasonably-priced resin and PVC statue lines. And their latest release just might be their best one to-date: the 16” Marvel Premier Collection Cable Statue is finally beginning to ship out!

Deadpool Marvel Legends Cable Figure Review

After close to a year since the first figures were shown at SDCC 2017, the 2018 X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series finally went up for order yesterday! Such a momentous occassion has understandably put me into an X-Men kinda mood. And so, for today’s review, let’s take a look at the X-character who’s managed to one-up Deadpool in his own series by being by far the most in-demand figure of the wave: Deadpool Marvel Legends Cable!

Deadpool Marvel Legends Wave 2 Photos! Sauron Series!

Marvel Legends 2018 Deadpool Wave 2 Sauron Series Figures

While a continuing Marvel Legends Deadpool Series on paper sounded like it could get really old, really fast, Hasbro has actually managed to make the Deadpool Legends highly desirable by sprinkling in characters that are more X-Men related than necessarily Deadpool related. The 2018 Marvel Legends Deadpool Wave 1 has been incredibly popular and hard to find in stores thus far, and Wave 2 looks to be just as popular with headliners like Bishop, Omega Red and a Sauron Build-A-Figure!

Marvel Premier Collection Domino & Lady Deadpool Statues!

Marvel Premier Collection Cable Deadpool Domino Statues

It’s been a predictably calm and quiet weekend for Marvel toy news, which makes this another ideal time to jump back and look at some more upcoming Marvel toys revealed last month at New York Toy Fair 2018! And once again, I’ll be revisiting the booth that I thought had the best overall showing at the event: Diamond Select Toys. We knew a Marvel Premier Collection Domino Statue was coming prior to the event, but I didn’t expect how good she would look—or that she would be displayed next to a resin Lady Deadpool Statue!

Close-Up of Mezco Blade Figure at NY Toy Fair 2018

With the “obvious” selections of ONE:12 Collective Homemade Suit Spider-Man and movie Black Panther being revealed in the buildup to New York Toy Fair 2018, I really wasn’t sure what I’d be seeing added to the Marvel ONE:12 Collective series walking into the Mezco Toyz booth at the show. As it turns out, the three comic-based figures debuted were all ones I wouldn’t have guessed: ONE:12 Collective Blade, Cable and Cyclops Figures!

It won my “Best in the Show” award at New York Comic-Con 2017 last month, and now the wait to bring it home can officially begin: the Diamond Select Toys Marvel Premier Collection Cable statue is now up for order!

And dollar for dollar, I think this can stand up pretty favorably to pretty much any Cable statue that has come before from anybody…
