New Podcast: Issue 67: Official Bootleg

New York Toy Fair, where toy makers reveal their 2013 products to wholesale buyers and press alike, is just a week away. But over the past week, due to Toy Fair in the UK, Marvel toy makers of all types have announced their 2013 plans. From Hasbro to Hot Toys to Diamond to totally new companies entering the Marvel market. Die cast figures, statues in every scale, four inch figures, six inch figures, eight inch figures, twelve inch figures, and so much more, and on this week’s Marvelicious Toys we try to make sense of all the exciting new collectibles coming in 2013!

But while there are new high end products coming in many scales, the announcements from Hasbro have been met with a more tepid response from adult Marvel collectors. It seems Hasbro is focusing on play features and low cost rather than articulation, paint apps, and sculpts. Justin, Marjorie, and Arnie review all the news for the Hasbro 3.75-inch and 6-inch lines and discuss the future of Hasbro and Marvel collectors.

With a chance to win a Diamond Select Barbarian Hulk figure and so much more, it’s all in this week’s Marvelicious Toys podcast!

While still five months away, Iron Man 3 promotion has begun in the toy store aisle.

While Hasbro is keeping mum until Toy Fair in February, Marvelicious Toys has gotten three of the upcoming figures! The Iron Man Mark 47, War Machine, and Iron Patriot War Machine are reviewed in this issue of Marvelicious Toys!

Also on this week’s show, Justin, Marjorie, and Arnie review two SMASH-ing figures from Diamond Select, the Unleashed Hulk and Barbarian Hulk figures.

Plus YOU CAN WIN a Barbarian Hulk from Marvelicious Toys and Diamond Select! Listen to find out how. All this and more in this week’s issue of the Marvelicious Toys podcast!

New Podcast: Issue 62: Iron Monger — More Advanced In Every Way

They made Iron Man in every armor seen in the films, and some not seen. They made two War Machines, Whiplash, and even Black Widow. So for Hot Toys to continue the Iron Man figure line it was time to go big or go home, so they go big. Very big. Arriving at homes last week is the biggest Marvel Hot Toys figure to date–Iron Monger! As seen in 2008’s Iron Man and with a meticulously detailed head with Jeff Bridges’ portrait, it’s a big toy, but comes with a big price tag. Listen to this week’s podcast to find out if its worth it!

New Podcast: Issue 56: The Variant Show

Variants! Love ’em or hate ’em, if you collect Hasbro’s Avengers figures you have to decide which version of the figure you want, or perhaps you want both! At Wal-Mart, there are variants of the six-inch exclusive Avengers figures. At Target there is a 3.75″ set of Avengers figures most of which differ from their single-carded counterparts. And at Costco there is a Quinjet set that not only has a repainted vehicle but also two repainted figures! On this week’s Marvelicious Toys podcast, Marjorie, Justin, and Arnie detail the differences between the versions of the figures and tell you if they prefer the regular release or the variant!

Also on this week’s show we bring more Marvel collecting news from New York Comic-Con! Mitch Hallock was in attendance every day of the con, and brings us his reports of what cool new toys he saw, as well as interviews with Kotobukiya and Comic Images!

New Podcast: Issue 55: Oh man…LOGAN!!

Collectors always want what they haven’t got, and this week what you probably don’t have is an Old Man Logan figure. Initially stated to be released at New York Comic-Con to subscribers to Marvel’s Digital Comics Unlimited, many con goers waited in line to find out that Marvel had no Logan, but just the same Dr. Doom figure they had last year. On this week’s Marvelicious Toys, Justin, Marjorie, and Arnie run down the facts and the rumors surrounding this kit-bashed exclusive.

Also on this week’s show, Marjorie and Arnie report from the Toy Man Toy Show in St. Louis, and Fallcon in St. Paul, MN. Listen to find out about the toys from the 90s through today as toy show bargains!

New Podcast: Issue 54: Stuart Moore’s Civil War

Civil War is one of the most successful crossover events in Marvel history. Pitting hero against hero, it both fulfilled fanboy fantasies answering the endless “who would win in a fight…” debates, and also providing an intelligent allegory for real-world American politics. Now, as part of the new Marvel prose novel series, the Civil War is being fought again–this time in a streamlined, novelized form. On this issue of Marvleicious Toys, Civil War prose novel author Stuart Moore discusses the genesis of the novel, what it takes to adapt an arc of Civil War’s size to a single book, and the future of the Marvel prose novels.

What’s cooler than a Lizard figure? A Lizard figure that GLOWS IN THE DARK! At least that’s what Hasbro thinks!

New Podcast: Issue 50: A Brief Case for the Briefcase

The announcement of Marvel’s Phase One Blu Ray Collector’s Set was met with a mixed reaction. No one could doubt the coolness of the special artwork and the supplemental materials included with the set, but the high price, and the fact that most Marvel fans already own all the films leading up to Avengers, put off some buyers. But it turns out that Rimowa GmbH, manufacturers of the briefcase used in the film, didn’t give permission for Marvel to copy it for the collector’s set, and now the Blu Ray set is delayed until Spring. On this issue of Marvelicious Toys, Justin, Marjorie, and Arnie discuss this development, why it happened, and speculate on the set’s future.

But with one exclusive gone, two more pop up in its place! In a follow-up on the conversation from Issue 49, listen to find out about all-new exclusive items that you can get with the Avengers Blu-Ray.

And for toy collectors, we have a hands-on review of all the figures in Marvel Universe Wave 19. Kang, Scarlet Witch, Future Foundation Spider-Man, Punisher, and She-Hulk! Listen to find out if this wave was worth the wait!

New Podcast: Issue 41: What the Helicarrier Is Going On?

Avengers 6-inch figures are showing up at Wal-Marts, but blink and you miss them…and if you head to eBay you’ll be paying a pretty penny if your target is Hawkeye. In the 4-inch line, Wave 3 is equally there and gone, and no sign when the Chitauri figures might be coming. Marvel Legends are equally enigmatic with an upcoming revision case that seems to help few, and certainly not get the variants out there. And yet Wal-Mart has 4-packs that no one knew were coming showing up on shelves, which just leaves Marjorie, Arnie, and Justin asking…WHAT THE HELICARRIER IS GOING ON?

On this week’s Marvelicious Toys podcast, your hosts run down the latest store reports, including an in-depth review of all the new Amazing Spider-Man movie line of figures and Super Hero Squad. Plus a review of the Avengers’ Skrull figure, and the Wal-Mart exclusive 6-inch Captain America.

Also on this week’s show, we catch you up on the Hot Toys assault from Avengers to Amazing Spider-Man, and the latest products from Diamond Select, Kotobukiya, Bowen, and Sideshow.

With a review of Peter David’s novelization of Spider-Man, a Fantastic Forum Poll, and fun big and small, it’s on this action-packed super-sized Marvelicious Toys podcast!

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!

New Podcast: Issue 20: San Diego Comic Con Frenzy

San Diego Comic Con is the big toy, comic, and movie event of the year and Marvelicious Toys is there! Join Marjorie, Justin, and Arnie as they come to you from the San Diego Convention Center and bring you news and interviews from the convention!

First, your Marvelicious hosts run down all the convention exclusives, from the nightmare that was the Hasbro Toy Shop line with their exclusive Marvel Legends Thor and Marvel Universe Sentinel, to the quickly sold out Kotobukiya Invisible Woman Bishoujo, to the blink-and-you-miss-it Gentle Giant Squirrelpool, plus new toys and shirts from Tokidoki, exclusive SWAG from the Captain America premiere and the Marvel Comics booth, and so much more.

And also this week, we have a look at all the cool Marvel toys and collectibles coming down the pike! We talk to representatives from Gentle Giant, who displayed their new mini-busts, book ends, pencil holders, and statues, and we also talk to Kotobukiya about their upcoming Fine Art statues, including Archangel and Magneto, and also their new Bishoujo such as Mystique and X-23!

And finally, we run down the other reveals! We broadcast the Hasbro Marvel panel live at marvelicioustoys.com, but if you missed it, we run down all the reveals in Marvel Legends and Marvel Universe. We also discuss the highlights in the booths from Hot Toys, Sideshow Collectibles, Diamond, Bowen, and so much more!

With a report on the Ghost Rider – Spirit of Vengeance panel, the Amazing Spider-Man panel, the Captain America premiere, and more, it’s on this issue of Marvelicious Toys!
