Awesome Marvel

Shield. Sword. Shuriken. Bandai’s latest Manga Realization action figure is an armored samurai version of Captain America. The action figure is nearly 7″ tall and comes with four swappable hands and a star logo that doubles as a shuriken.

Hot Toys keeps raising the bar for head sculpts. Their 12″ action figure of Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 looks exactly like Michael Rooker. It’s a shame it doesn’t come with extra heads. It does have the team’s jet pack, both of Yondu’s fins, his trusty arrow and more.

The Toys Asia’s life-size statue Iron Man’s Mk. 43 armor opens up to reveal, well, sadly not enough space for a man. It still looks amazing though. It takes 46 motors and 28 seconds for the armor to open up. The statue is limited to 50 units and costs… cough… over $370,000.

This cute cartoonish statue of Guardians of the Galaxy’s Groot and his best bud Rocket is based on an illustration by Japanese artist Superlog. The art was used as a manga variant cover for Groot #3. The statue also comes with three background sheets.

How It Should Have Ended blows up the ending of Guardians 2, as Baby Groot kills everyone, Darth Vader drops by to give some daddy advice, Ego gets his way, and Mary Poppins is real. Also, literal Taserface is so much cooler.

“What were you the god of again?” Thor, the Hulk and another familiar face must team up to stop Hela, the goddess of death, from destroying all of Asgard. At least they got snazzy haircuts before all hell breaks loose.

“Peter loves being Spider-Man, but he doesn’t love being Peter Parker.” ScreenPrism contrasts the approaches of the three modern Spider-Man movie adaptations while breaking down the symbols and philosophies of Marvel’s teenage icon.

Kidrobot improves its line of Marvel Phunny plush toys with the help of The Man Without Fear and the man who uh, doesn’t want a plushie version of himself. These two are the first Marvel Phunnies to have longer limbs and a seated pose.

VariantComics shares their favorite alternate comic book versions of Shellhead, including the zombie Iron Man, the Green Lantern-Iron Man hybrid and the Ghost Rider-Iron Man combo. The House of M Iron Man does look dope.

The not X-Men are coming. ABC and Marvel teamed up for a TV series about the Inhumans, a race of genetically modified super humans led by Black Bolt, who almost never speaks because the sound of his voice is incredibly destructive. Premieres 9/29/17.

Hot Toys’ latest Iron Man action figure is based on Iron Man’s appearance in Spider-Man Homecoming. The 13″ tall figure has 28 LED light up points and has tons of interchangeable parts and accessories, including a new weapon that was hinted at in the movie’s trailers.

In 2008, Marvel gambled on an unfinished script, an unproven director, a controversial actor and a B-list character. It went on to become a stepping stone and a blueprint for success that even Marvel has forgotten to follow. Films&Stuff looks back to Iron Man.

Spider-Man strikes a deal with the Kingpin to take down bigger fish. Arkham games meet Uncharted‘s cinematic action and quick time events in this exciting gameplay video for the still unnamed PlayStation 4 exclusive Spider-Man game.

Disney XD teamed up with Passion Paris to create a series of fun ’60s style animated short films starring Marvel’s size-changing superhero Ant-Man. The short films’ retro look matches well with their lighthearted tone.

Our first look at the latest flick in the Marvel Cinematic Universe gives us a brief look at the highly secretive nation of Wakanda, and the emergence of its hero and protector, played by actor Chadwick Boseman. We want to know if Wakanda is next door to Zamunda.

Hot Toys’ sixth-scale action figure is based on Webhead’s high-tech costume in Spider-Man: Homecoming. It comes with an alternate unmasked head, five pairs of hands, four pairs of eye pieces and more. The Deluxe version comes with a yellow blazer and blue hoodie.

Logan’s spaghetti Western structure is blatantly obvious, but Wisecrack has a lot more to say about this excellent movie. Watch their video to find out how the film can be seen as a commentary on intellectual property and superhero movies.

The best there is at what he does. Kaiyodo’s 12th scale (6.1″ tall) Amazing Yamaguchi Wolverine action figure is based on the most badass X-Man’s ’90s incarnation. It comes with three heads, seven hands, two sets of claws and of course a cigar.

We rather enjoyed the teaser trailer for Thor Ragnarok, but AOK thinks they can do better. They created new song lyrics which describe what’s going on way better than Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song could ever do.

Peter shows off his fancy Stark Industries suit, beats up the Avengers, stares at his phone, and eats a churro in the latest trailer for Spidey’s big return. We’re just hoping that Marvel hasn’t decided that one-liners are more important than plot and character development.

Set in the Marvel universe – specifically a world with the X-Men on it – Bryan Singer’s The Gifted is an upcoming FOX TV show about a lawyer who specializes in putting mutants away, only to discover that his teenage children are mutants themselves.

I Am Cuuuute! Hot Toys’ Baby Groot action figure stands just over 10″ tall, the same size as our favorite floral colossus as he appears in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. He comes with two extra heads, two pairs of hands and a removable onesie.
