    Definitely likely this will be widely available upon release, but I was still relieved to get a preorder in.

    Eh, they always come out eventually. I'm not in any rush.

    There weren't any Toy Fair reveals this year, huh? I was hoping we'd get an unpainted peek at something.

    I'd love to see them tackle: Chamber Destiny Dust Havok (Age of Apocalypse) Karma Magik Psylocke (Outback) Senyaka Spiral Cold day in Hell for most of those, but one or two could happen!

    Toy Fair International - February 14-17 2026

    Probably the same reason so many geeky events happen in Vegas every summer. I bet it's way cheaper to rent out huge amounts of space during the extreme weather months for those areas.

    That line has really stuck with me from the cartoon, and it's so clunky that I figured they wrote it specifically for the show, but I was reading Secret Wars II last week, and Cannonball actually used the same damn line! In 1986! I guess it must be a real Southern saying...

    2026-2027 Rumor/Leak List - New Year, New Thread! Updated 2-14-26.

    Yeah, I feel like the MvC line opens up a really, really easy venue for re-releasing Spiral with minimal changes, so that feels likely.

    This is true. I wouldn't turn her down without her armour. I think she's a lot less likely to get the BAF treatment like that, though. I, like many others, would probably try my hand at custom armour, if they did that.

    ML Preorder/Order Schedule

    I would be open to the former idea, but I feel like she would lose a lot fully encased in the armour. I suppose it's possible that her armour encases her in "solid" energy, but it certainly looks like it's a thin exoskeleton with a lot of space between her and its walls, so--regardless of how it...

    Honestly, the bigger problem with Armor is that making each BAF piece both a typical figure's limb AND the equivalent exoskeleton part would probably get very expensive, very quickly. I feel like it's more likely that just the exoskeleton would be the BAF, and the figure would be just one of the...

    I'm not an engineer, and my technical drawing skills haven't proved up to the task of reproducing what's in my head for this, but I can 100% envision in my head what this would look like and how it would work. I will try my best to explain it, but, again, not an engineer. 1) Translucent pink...

    General Marvel Legends

    It's entirely possible that they're each separate releases, but--if they're not--hopefully they're on a Sam-sized body, since we already have an X-Men '97 Berto that's still a little too tall for him and Doug, but could at least be used as a better fit for the Doug head than a second Cannonball...

    I've been holding on to an unopened Dani for just this possibility. Annoyingly, Magma had short sleeves in that look, but, hey, Wolfsbane didn't exist at all in that look, and that hasn't stopped me from displaying a Dani with that head pack-in. I'm really excited about getting more 80s New...

    Most Customized Character on our Marvel Shelves

    I picked up two extra heads, and painted the hair on one, and the hair and skin on the other, then dyed all the skin parts from the third Gung Ho body, to put together all three. It ain't perfect, but it does the trick.

    Most Customized Character on our Marvel Shelves

    I mostly do very, very simple customs, but I have done: Magneto (Bendis era) Mastermind (60s) Omega Sentinel (just, you know, corrected her ethnicity) Reese, Cole, and Macon (Reavers) I have been considering doing a Magma to match the old Walgreens Dani Moonstar, and it could potentially now...

    The funny thing is that Dan is wrong about that. Magik was involved in at least two or three fights across the core title, and the New Mutants had a pretty major tie-in with Secret Wars II, during which the Beyonder completely wrote them out of existence. Now, Constrictor on the other hand...

    ML Secret Wars

    Yeah, the first thing I did was compare the new Magik to the old, to see if it was the same headsculpt, because it has a very similar vibe. I'm happy to report it appears to be all-new, and looks way, way better when you seem them next to each other.

    MAFEX Marvel Figures

    I finally pulled the trigger a few weeks ago on shipping Mafex Deadpool (the red reissue), and the Age of Apocalypse versions of Weapon X and Cyclops, and the combined shipping and tariffs from Hobby Genki was around $70, which definitely hurt. I had them ship Fedex, so I paid the tariffs to...

    Man, Magik is perfect. I just went through and re-read all of Secret Wars and Secret Wars II over the last week or so, and this line-up is sort of bizarre, but all worth it for Magik. If Hasbro wanted to really encapsulate Secret Wars, they'd do a Molecule Man and Wasp two-pack, so everyone...

    Hasbro Made-to-Order Figures

    I have a friend who went on some Hollywood tour, and--when they got to Danzig's house--he was out in the yard, shirtless, working out, and... listening to Danzig. No notes.
