Demand is high and supply at retail still isn’t plentiful, but the X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series is slowly but surely starting to permeate retail stores. I reviewed the Apocalypse Build-A-Figure last month before I got sidetracked with SDCC 2018, but now it’s back to business and time to play catch-up. And what better place to start than with one of the X-Men’s two most legendary leaders: the Mistress of the Elements herself—X-Men Marvel Legends Storm!

2018 looks to be the year of the X-Men for Sideshow Collectibles, with their acclaimed Wolverine Premium Format Figure arriving in doorsteps and receiving rave reviews, and no less than eight more X-Men statues slated to arrive over the course of 2018-2019. And while we’re a ways away from Juggernaut and Cable being fully revealed, another legendary favorite is about to have her time: the 1/4 Sideshow Exclusive Rogue Maquette is now up for order! But the X-Men’s female powerhouse comes with a real powerhouse of a price-tag…

The San Diego Comic-Con 2018 Marvel Legends panel has come and gone, and while I’ve actually seen some collectors complaining there weren’t enough reveals, I think there’s plenty of new things to pine away for. Over the next few days, I’ll break down all of the new 6” figures announced at the show, starting with the X-Men Marvel Legends 2019 series, which contains new figures of Blink, Gambit, Magik, Professor X in Hoverchair and more…

San Diego Comic Con 2018 is just a day away, but Kotobukiya must have figured “Hey, why not get a head start on the competition?”, because they decided to reveal two never-before-seen ARTFX+ statues today! And hey, it’s not just “another Iron Man” and “another Captain America” either. Instead, it’s two characters Koto has never captured in this scale before: the Kotobukiya ARTFX+ Gamora and Phoenix statues are now up for order!

Some Marvel collectibles lines are so good that collectors are willing to wait however long it takes to get the next release in the series. One such series is the Kotobukiya X-Men Danger Room Sessions series of Fine Arts statues, featuring renditions of iconic X-Men characters sculpted by Erick Sosa. It’s been over three since the Kotobukiya Rogue Danger Room Sessions Statue was solicited, but finally the next piece is on the way: the Kotobukiya Storm Fine Arts Statue is now up for order!

It’s taken almost a full year since the wave started to be unveiled at San Diego Comic Con 2017, but the long-anticipated 2018 Marvel Legends X-Men Apocalypse Series is finally starting to ship out to online retailers and some brick and mortar stores. I wanted to kick off my figure reviews for this wave with something big—and what’s bigger than the Build-A-Figure, right? The Marvel Legends Apocalypse BAF is selling for north of 100 bucks right now all by himself—is he fit to survive for that kind of money?

What, three full waves of new Marvel Legends figures going up for pre-order in two weeks still isn’t enough for you?! Well, Hasbro certainly hopes not, because they also solicited one more new figure box set this week! First shown at New York Toy Fair 2018 back in February, the 6” X-Men Marvel Legends Wolverine Motorcycle set is now up for order! If anyone’s motorcycle is going to come close to being as cool as Ghost Rider’s (because it’s sort of the same motorcycle), it’s Logan’s!

The Kotobukiya ARTFX+ X-Men ‘92 statues line has been one of the best surprises of 2018 so far, with figures of Wolverine, Jubilee, Cyclops, Beast and Professor X in hoverchair already solicited.

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!

At this point, Mezco Toyz has serviced most Wolverine fans. Whether you’re a fan of Wolverine in his Tiger Stripe, Brown or X-Force costumes—or even if you prefer Old Man Logan—there’s a ONE:12 Collective Wolverine for you. But for those fans who like Wolverine out of costume and not, well… old… Mezco has one more flavor left in store for you: the Mezco ONE:12 Collective Logan figure is now up for order!

Despite the hundreds of 6” scale Marvel Legends figures that have been released over the last decade and a half, there are still major omissions from the X-Men ‘92 lineup. While perhaps the lack of a Jim Lee Jubilee is still the most keenly felt, there’s another animated-era costume just as high on thousands of collectors’ wish lists. And while we may be waiting a bit longer for this character in Marvel Legends, Kotobukiya has a placeholder for us: the ARTFX+ Professor X in Hoverchair is now up for order!

I’ve fallen off the wagon a bit lately with regards to Marvel Legends reviews, but with Deadpool 2 hitting theaters this week, now seems like the perfect time to start catching up! And so, today I’ll be posting my first Deadpool Marvel Legends Sasquatch Series review, featuring the first Hasbro 6” scale version of a character who’s grown to be a headliner in her own right in the decade-plus since Toybiz did her: the Deadpool Marvel Legends X-Force X-23 (who’s available online now for MSRP)!
