New Podcast: Issue 23: From Hero to Zero

Have you ever thought cosplay was fun but there just weren’t enough occasions to dress up like your favorite superhero like Wolverine or Iron Man? Canadian company UD Replicas is here to fix that with motorcycle suits that will allow you wear the clothes of Marvel (and DC and Star Wars) superheroes while riding your bike! Is this line good for comic fans? Bikers? Leather fetishists? Who knows, but with few new figures hitting pegs, Marjorie, Arnie, and Justin take some time in our latest issue to muse over all the possibilities of these costumes.

Also in this issue, we do discuss the latest clearance finds of Marvel toys, as well as where the latest waves of figures are just starting to show up. With listener voice mails, a life-sized Iron Man bust, a birthday surprise, and more, it’s all in this issue of the Marvelicious Toys podcast!
