REVIEW Marvel Gallery Gambit Figure Details on Bottom of Throwing Cards

Diamond Select Toys has held fast as the budget choice in a statue collecting market where prices have otherwise soared to unheard of heights. Their successful Marvel Gallery statues lineup has been expanding rapidly over time, including more and more X-Men joining the series over the last year. And complementing the Rogue that also arrived this winter is the other half of the 90s X-Men super couple: Marvel Gallery Gambit is now available! Should this Cajun rage into your collection?

Marvel Legends Wolverine Patch & Joe Fixit Hulk Figures Up for Order!

Marvel Legends Patch Wolverine and Joe Fixit Hulk 2-Pack Packaged

Last week, Hasbro celebrated Wolverine’s 50th Anniversary with new 6” figures of Lady Mandarin Psylocke and Ninja Wolverine, and this week they’re opening up pre-orders for a two-pack based on another Chris Claremont Wolverine classic: Marvel Legends Patch and Joe Fixit! We’ve had figures of both these characters before, but never together—and never in their matching white tuxes from Wolverine #8! Is this another must-have two-pack?

2024 Marvel Legends X-Men Lady Mandarin Psylocke & Wolverine Figures Up for Order!

Marvel Legends Wolverine Lady Mandarin Psylocke Figures Box

“Wild and crazy” as descriptors of what happened to Psylocke in the last years of Chris Claremont’s legendary run on Uncanny X-Men. After being reborn, mind wiped, ethnically changed and soul swapped, Betsy briefly became the Mandarin’s assassin, Lady Mandarin. (I swear it reads better than it summarizes.) As Lady Mandarin, Psylocke battled Wolverine (in his “ninja” attire), until Logan defeated Psylocke and restored her free will. And now, thanks to Hasbro, fans will be able to recreate this landmark battle: the Marvel Legends Lady Mandarin Psylocke & Ninja Wolverine figures two-pack is now up for order!

LEGO Marvel 2024 Sets Released & Photos! X-Men Jet! Rocket Raccoon & Groot!

LEGO Marvel 2024 Sets Released Sandman Battle X-Men Jet Rocket Raccoon Groot

LEGO Marvel sets have certainly fallen a tad in popularity and sales at mass retail over the last few years, with fewer major widely-distributed sets arriving in the biannual drops and more expensive sets (like last year’s $500 Avengers Tower) being released solely as more limited exclusives. But that doesn’t mean The LEGO Group (TLG) is throwing in the towel! In fact, the January 2024 LEGO Marvel sets that have just been released include 3 major sets including a brick-built Rocket Raccoon, X-Men Blackbird Jet and Spider-Man No Way Home Sandman Final Battle!

Marvel Legends Angel Figure Up for Order! (Hasbro 2024 X-Men Legends)

Marvel Legends 2024 Angel Figure Hasbro X-Men Deluxe

As one of the five original X-Men, you might think we’d see Warren Worthington III in toy form relatively close in frequency to Cyclops, Jean Grey or even Iceman. But nope! Other than Archangel versions, the last classic Angel 6” Marvel Legends figure was released way back in 2005 (by Toybiz). A whole generation has grown up without a chance to buy a 6” Angel figure! Hasbro has decided that’s too long, and thus the first updated Marvel Legends Angel figure in almost two decades is now up for order!

REVIEW: Marvel Gallery ROGUE Statue PVC Figure(Diamond Select Toys X-Men)

REVIEW Marvel Gallery PVC X-Men Rogue 90s Costume

While many statue companies have decreased product offerings and edition sizes (while increasing prices) in the post-pandemic collecting landscape, Diamond Select Toys has quietly been carving out a niche for itself with the most successful and expansive series of affordable Marvel PVC statues ever: Marvel Gallery. This DST series has released a plethora of iconic comic and movie characters since it began its run in 2016, and this year the Jim Lee X-Men sub-line began to really take shape. The Marvel Gallery Rogue figure was managed to start shipping before the end of 2023–should it fly into your collection? Here’s my review…

2024 Marvel Legends Lilandra Neramani 6″ Figure! (X-Men Legends 2024)

Close-Up of Majestrix Lilandra Neramani Figure Render Hasbro 2024

Hasbro gave collectors a heads up before November began that last month was going to be a slow month for Marvel Legends news, and now we can look back in hindsight and agree that they were true to their word. But there was a singular light in the darkness, as the sole figure announced last month is a character neither Hasbro nor Toybiz has ever captured in toy form before: the X-Men Marvel Legends 2024 series will include Shi’ar Empress Lilandra Neramani!

Marvel Legends X-Men 97 ROGUE Figure Review & Photos (Hasbro 2023)

2023 Marvel Legends Rogue X-Men 97 Figure Review Pulling Gloves Off

When Hasbro released their first 6” Marvel Legends Rogue figure in her 90s Jim Lee costume back in 2017, it was a pretty big deal and a hole-filler for many X-Men collectors. Flash-forward 6+ years, and we’ve had multiple X-Men Legends Rogue figures since. Even so, X-Men ‘97 is on the horizon, and that means that every old X-Man is new again for some incoming fans—and Hasbro is ready to service those fans with new and/or upgraded figures! Does the now-available X-Men 97 Rogue Legends figure bring enough to the table to warrant a purchase? Here’s my review…

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Bishop X-Men 97 Figure (Hasbro 2023)

Marvel Legends X-Men 97 Bishop REVIEW

To the astonishment of many (including me), the HasLab Giant-Man rocketed past finding in its final day and even unlocked the Zombie Head Stretch goal, as the campaign numbers nearly doubled in the last 48 hours. But now that Marvel Legends collectors have a two foot tall figure to look forward to receiving in the future, let’s jump back to the present and review a new figure of a character -from- the future! The X-Men 97 Marvel Legends Bishop figure is now available—is this version of the X-Men’s time-traveling powerhouse worth picking up?
