This month’s Diamond Select Toys solicitations were a little bit light for Marvel Gallery fans, with just one all-new item offered: McFarlane-style 90s Spider-Man PVC figure. But don’t worry, DST collectors—you won’t have to starve for new offerings, as there are not one, not two, but five new exclusives coming your way this summer: the GameStop Exclusive Mysterio, Emma Frost, Spider-Man Noir and more are now up for order online!

When Hasbro finally released an updated Marvel Legends Rogue Jim Lee-styled figure in the inaugural X-Men Legends series in 2016, fans went wild for her and devoured her off shelves for months. 3 years later, that figure is in such demand it can fetch $100+ on the aftermarket! Many collectors who missed out can’t afford her these days, but DST’s potential substitute is flying in to the rescue: the Marvel Select Rogue figure is now in-stock online with free shipping!

Sideshow Collectibles has gone all-in on their X-Men Premium Format Figure series of 1:4 statues, attacking collectors’ wallets with more fervor and enthusiasm than I can ever remember from them. It seems like every other week we’re seeing another statue revealed and put up for sale, and the next piece in the rapid-fire parade is now on the hunt for our dollars: the Sideshow Exclusive Sabretooth Premium Format Figure is now up for order! Is this piece “EX or bust”?

While the Mezco Marvel ONE:12 Collective series has been going strong (and growing a rabid following) for over three years now, we’ve only had a singular comic book villain solicited for the line in all that time: two versions of the Red Skull. But Mezco Toyz is bringing on a bad guy for their latest pre-order, as the Master of Magnetism they debuted a prototype of over 10 months ago is finally officially on the way: the ONE:12 Collective Magneto figure is now up for order!

Wolverine is miles away from being one of my favorite Mutants, but he’s such a central figure on so many X-Men rosters across eras that I own dozens of figures of him. But one iteration I’ve managed to avoid owning (even in Funko Pop form!) is his original “origin” look. …At least, until now! I needed the last piece to build the Caliban Build-A-Figure, so I had to order the new Hasbro X-Men Marvel Legends Weapon X figure. But to my humongous surprise—I’m actually glad I had to buy this Wolverine…

The new Marvel Legends 80 Years figure reveals and pre-orders over the past two weeks—Cowboy Wolverine and Big Time Spider-Man—have gotten a bit of a varied reaction from fans. But tonight, Hasbro has freshly solicited another item in the series—and I suspect this one will NOT be getting such a tepid response: the Marvel Legends Hulk vs. First Appearance Wolverine Two-Pack is now up for order!

Sideshow Collectibles has been diving deep and hard into the X-Men since they began their wave of new statues with the Wolverine Premium Format Format Figure back in 2017. And now that we’re in the double-digits of X-characters released or solicited, they’re ready to cycle back to who brought them to the dance again: the new Sideshow Logan Premium Format Figure goes up for order today! The 2017 Wolverine Statue has been widely acclaimed—can Logan reach the same heights?

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…?

Just when it looked like the most exciting thing to happen to me Marvel collecting-wise this week was going to be finding the new Mysterio Berry Dr. Pepper, a photo leaked online Friday afternoon of a previously unannounced Marvel Legends 80 Years figure of what appeared to be a brand new Wolverine variant. We didn’t have long to wait until an official announcement of exactly what that figure was: the Exclusive Marvel Legends Cowboy Logan Wolverine figure is now up for order! I’m not sure anyone was crying out for a new ML Logan–but now that he’s here, he does look pretty sweet…

Just as I had resigned myself to having to wait until July for my X-Men Marvel Legends 2019 figures I ordered online arriving, I got a shipping confirmation for Beast! Turns out Amazon is shipping the figures as they get cases in, regardless of their stated “release date”. Looks like I’ll be waiting a bit for the rest of the Caliban series to arrive, but since Mrs. McCoy’s baby boy has bounced in, I’d be remiss if I didn’t review Beast ASAP…
