Marvelicious Toys

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!

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! Also this week, from big to small, the Marvelicious Toys hosts also review the new Diamond Venom Through the Ages Minimates box set, and a new line of HeroClix figures released along with an iPad app to play HeroClix single player! With new plushies and blankets, a blonde Black Widow Marvel Universe figure, and so much more, it's all in this week's Marvelicious Toys podcast!
