Vol 2, Episode 23: A Spider-Ham for Christmas (Video Podcast) Dec 29, 2020

Did you get what you wanted for Christmas? On the Marvelicious holiday we enjoyed a Spider-Ham...no, not for Christmas dinner, but as part of the new Spider-Verse wave of Marvel Legends! This wave was supposed to come out in 2021, but it seems the Toy Gods knew we needed something good in 2020, so this wave came early!

On this podcast Justin, Arnie, and Marjorie look at Miles Morales, Peter B. Parker, Spider-Ham, Spider-Gwen, and Prowler, as well as non-Spider-Verse figures of a Hand Ninja, Frog-Man, and the wave's Build-A-Figure...Stilt-Man!

With a look at the newly announced 2021 M.O.D.O.K. Legends Deluxe Figure, the House of X/Powers of X wave of figures, and the much wanted Ms. Lion figure (with bonus Firestar), it's all in this unexpected, bonus Marvelicious Toys podcast!

Vol 2, Episode 21: We Are Venom (Video Podcast) Nov 20, 2020

When planning this year's releases, Marvel, Sony, and Hasbro all had good reason to believe Morbius would have come out last July and, a few weeks ago, we'd all have flocked to theaters to see Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage.

That's not how things worked out but we still have the symbiotic joy of Hasbro's latest Venom wave of Marvel Legends figures. With a movie-styled Venom, comic-styled Morbius, and a slew of other slimy symbiotes, join Marjorie, Justin, and Arnie as they review all these figures. Including the massive Venompool Build-A-Figure, and the Walmart exclusive Venomized Captain America!

Also on this show, the hosts run down the latest Hasbro reveals including next year's Into the Spider-Verse wave of Legends. All this and more in an exciting new Marvelicious Toys podcast.

Vol 2, Episode 20: Totally Retro (Video Podcast) Nov 06, 2020

Hasbro's Marvel team is full of surprises--and they love surprising their fans. For example, did anyone see the Marvel line going 3.75-inch figures with five points of articulation? Yet that's the case with the new Retro figure line. Join the party with Arnie, Marjorie, and Justin in this show.

Another surprise...did the world need a fourth Marvel Legends Role-Play Captain America shield? It just might... our hosts look into what makes this new shield release special.

With some really hard to find...purses? Plus New Mutants home media release and more, it's all in this new Marvelicious Toys podcast!

Vol 2, Ep Ep 19 -- San Diego Nada Con (Video Podcast) Jul 29, 2020

One of the greatest things about being a collector is the sense of community had with other collectors. Facebook groups, site forums, Twitter, and more has brought collectors together to talk toys and more, but there's truly no substitute for a massive gathering of fans and friends like that had every year at San Diego Comic-Con.

Except this year.

With no mass gathering in San Diego toy companies took to the internet to announce, and put up for order, the latest Marvel toys.

On this Marvelicious Toys podcast, join Marjorie, Arnie, and Captain Justin look at the announcements from Hasbro, Hot Toys, and more!

We also look at the soon to be released (ever to be released?) New Mutants movie and the first scenes revealed in their Comic-Con International panel.

Plus - Marvel's Avengers beta is out for X-Box One and PS4. It's been sold as the next major event game from Marvel, the successor to the smash PS4 hit Marvel's Spider-Man. Yet the development company is different, as is the game's entire goal. How does it play? Arnie gives the rundown in this issue of the Marvelicious Toys podcast!

Vol 2, Episode 18: HasLab Sentinel -- Execute Target Acquisition (Video Podcast) Jul 22, 2020

Marvel Legends are having a moment. The Marvel Legends Sentinel isn't the first HasLab, but in just one weekend it became the biggest! Store exclusives sell out in a blink. The line releases over 100 figures per year. Fans just can't get enough.

On this Marvelicious Toys podcast Justin and Arnie sit down with some of the people who make this all possible: Senior Brand Manager Ryan Ting, Associate Brand Manager Dan Yun, and Senior Design Manager Dwight Stall. Join them as they discuss all things Legends, from Hasbro's early offerings in 2006 through the HasLab Sentinel and more! It's a wide-ranging 30 minute interview that's not to be missed.

Also in this episode, Marjorie, Justin and Arnie discuss the HasLab Sentinel now that they've had time to ruminate on it (and order it). We discuss the new UK exclusive Marvel Legends Endgame wave. And there's a look at Square Enix's new, gorgeous Marvel Bring Arts figures.

All that and more in this new Marvelicious Toys podcast!

Vol 2 ,Ep 16: Hasbro -- Unwinding Toy Fair 2020 (Video Podcast) Mar 09, 2020

Hasbro's Marvel team blew away fans at 2020's New York Toy Fair. Several times during their presentation Hasbro's Dwight Stall, Dan Yun, and Ryan Ting could have dropped the mic and walked away. Sugar Man build-a-figure! X-Men movie figures! New articulation with no peg holes! Yet the surprises and reveals kept coming, up to teasing a massive Haslab crowd-sourcing project.

On this issue of the Marvelicious Toys Podcast, hear our exclusive interview with Dwight and Ryan. Then hear a second interview with the inclusion of Dan and Master Model Artist Tony Colella. It's over 40 minutes of talking toys and Marvel Comics with Hasbro's team.

Fantastic 4 (Days Until Toy Fair) - Video Podcast Feb 17, 2020

We are just a few days away from New York Toy Fair International where the biggest toy companies will reveal the toys that we'll be hunting for all year. Marvelicious Toys will be there to bring you live coverage from Hasbro, LEGO, Mezco and more! And while we wait for the big show, Justin, Marjorie, and Arnie are here in this new episode of Marvelicious Toys to review the first Marvel Legends wave of 2020--The Fantastic Four (Plus Dr. Doom and Hulk). All this and more in this issue of Marvelicious Toys!

Vol 2 Ep 14: 2019 Legendary Year-End Wrap-Up - Video Podcast Jan 20, 2020

Take a moment and reflect...

If you collect Marvel Legends you are right now in a golden era. The number of figures, and variety, is unparalleled for a 6-inch scale line. In 2019 Hasbro released 135 different, highly articulated and detailed figures (counting the Dani Moonstar Walgreens exclusive as three). The figures covered the MCU, the 616, and more, with X-Men fans getting their due (finally), and deep dive figures such as Rock Python and Living Laser.

This is a heyday. Star Wars collectors had this type of generous release (in 3.75-inch scale) from 2005 through 2012, and now get less than 25 figures per year. So understand that sometime in the future, collectors will look back and realize this was the best time ever for Marvel collectors.

On this new episode of the Marvelicious Toys podcast Arnie, Marjorie, and Justin do reflect on the excess of riches that Dwight Stall (Senior Design Manager), Ryan Ting (Senior Global Brand Manager), Bobby Vala (Senior Product Designer) and the rest of the Hasbro Marvel team delivered in 2019, and run down their favorite figures from the year. What was the best MCU figure? The best multi-pack? The best Build-A-Figure? They give their picks for all of that and more on this week's Marvelicious Toys.

Watch the show and then give us your thoughts -- what were your favorites this year? Let us know in the comments on our web site.

Volume 2 Issue 13: The Big Build-A-Figure Show - Video Podcast Dec 27, 2019

As the 2010s come to a close many take this time to reflect on the past. For Marvel collectors it's been a CRAZY decade! In 2010 Hasbro was hardly making any Marvel Legends figures, choosing to focus on their 3.75" Marvel Universe line. That changed in 2012 with the rebirth of Marvel Legends, and an explosion of figures.

One of the hallmarks of the Marvel Legends line is its Build-A-Figure concept: buy all the figures to build another, usually much larger, figure. It started with Toybiz in 2002, and continues to this day.

Watch this episode of Marvelicious Toys to revisit the Build-A-Figures of the past, with a specific focus on Hasbro's releases. From Annihilus to Bro Thor, and every single one in between--it's all in this special Marvelicious Toys!

Issue 175: Deadpool -- I Am So Touching My Hot Toys Tonight Nov 11, 2016

In a year that saw four Marvel Comics movies, including Civil War, Doctor Strange, and X-Men: Apocalypse only one came out of nowhere to turn the genre on its ear: Deadpool. Now, nine months later, Hot Toys has given birth to their Deadpool figure, based on the movie outfit. It's sold out almost everywhere, but is the figure as good as the movie? Justin, Marjorie, and Arnie break the fourth wall to tell you!

Speaking of Marvel movies, Doctor Strange hit U.S. theaters last week. Our hosts give their impressions of the film, and how it fits in the Marvel Universe.

With a tale of two Captain America shields from Hasbro, an expensive Spooktaculer, and Marvel Hot Toys figures under $100 shipped, it's all in this loaded issue of the Marvelicious Toys podcast!

Issue 135: I Want to Hold Hulk Hand Feb 04, 2015

For Captain America the shield is more than defense--it's a symbol of America and taking "the American Dream and make it an American reality." Now, nearly 75 years after first appearing in Captain America Comics #2, Captain America and his shield serve as a symbol, both in the Marvel Universe and in the real world, of strength, idealism, and patriotism. And as seen in The Avengers and the two Captain America movies, it's pretty darn cool as well! In 2014 eFX Collectibles' gave fans their chance to be like Stephen Colbert and put Captain America's shield on their walls with their Avengers Captain America Shield Prop Replica. A full scale collectible cast from the original molds of the prop used in The Avengers, this eFX prop had been teased for years. Even with an edition size of 1,500 it sold out quickly. But the Marvelicious Toys hosts have one in-hand and review it on this episode! Also on this show, a quick review of the new Ultimate Spider-Man Web Warriors figures from Hasbro, a look at the new Thanos and Captain America figures from Hot Toys, and a preview of the new LEGO UCS LEGO set.

Issue 97: The Iron Man Blu's Sep 23, 2013

Iron Man 3 had a high bar for success. After The Avengers made over 1.5 billion dollars in the box office, could a solo avenger fly nearly so high?

Issue 94: The Vonner Files Aug 21, 2013

From 2006 to 2012 David Vonner was a Senior Product Designer at Hasbro, and the face of Marvel Universe action figures. Arguably, no other single person had as much influence over the creation, character selection, and design of Hasbro's flagship 3.75-inch Marvel figure line. Even figures just now hitting retail were made due to Vonner's passion and direction for Marvel. But as announced at San Diego Comic-Con International the Marvel Universe line is ending, replaced with the stylistically similar Avengers Assemble figure line. On this issue of Marvelicious Toys Vonner sits down with Justin, Marjorie, and Arnie to discuss his passion for Marvel figures. Everything is discussed, from figures he'd championed that never got made to figures he would never make. Which real-life starlet was the model for Ms. Marvel's bust? What does David think of the change in direction for Marvel action figures? Are smart phones and internet killing action figures? And do collectors really need Hyperion in two figure scales so close together? Listen for an unprecidented look behind the scenes of action figures from the man who saw it all unfold!

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.
