Issue 151: You Can Do Magik

Magik was all around us at San Diego Comic-Con...as thousands of Marvel collectors picked up their Book of Vishanti set of Marvel Legends. Featuring five figures found nowhere else, this set comes with a translucent "astral projection" Dr. Strange, his long time enemy Dormammu, former Sorcerer Supereme Brother Voodoo, Hela the Norse goddess of the underworld, and Strange's pupil Magik of the X-Men. On this issue of Marvelicious Toys the hosts conjure up a review of this set! With a review of the Walgreens exclusive yellow-and-brown Daredevil Legends figure, new Art-FX+ statues from Kotobukiya, and a chance to win a Marvel mini-bust from Gentle Giant, it's all in this issue of the Marvelicious Toys podcast!

Issue 150: YOU Have a Hulk

Kotobukiya's Art-FX+ statues have always been great for Marvel collectors. Detailed, affordable, gorgeous, and sized perfectly so you can put a group together on one shelf, this line of vinyl figurines has been many collectors' first foray into high-end collecting. But in 2015 they have released their best set yet -- the Hulkbuster and Hulk from Age of Ultron!

Issue 147: What a Box of A-Holes

Guardians of the Galaxy was a smash hit film, bringing these comic characters into the spotlight like never before. In addition to a number of comics and an upcoming animated series, the Guardians have new toys in the form of an Entertainment Earth exclusive box set.

Issue 140: Agents of CHiPs!

In the original Avengers films the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, Maria Hill, and Phil Coulson, loomed large. Yet none of those characters received any attention in Hasbro's Marvel Legends line--until now! With the upcoming sequel Avengers: Age of Ultron Toys R Us is now selling the exclusive Legends 3-pack with those characters! Join the Agents of Marvelicious, Justin, Marjorie, and Arnie, to find out if this set should be on your Most Wanted list! But Age of Ultron is not confined to the toy aisle--it's coming everywhere! Tie-ins are hitting hard in cereals, snack foods, and breakfast waffles. The biggest tie-in is Doritos with their numerous chip bags - one flavor for each Avenger, creating a conundrum for food packaging collectors. The hosts review and evaluate if these are collectibles they're hungry for. With a Spider-Man plushie that brings a special package, the largest scale Hot Toys figure to date, and more, it's all in this issue of Marvelicious Toys!

Issue 135: I Want to Hold Hulk Hand

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. So what are you waiting for? Marvelicious Collectors Assemble for this week's new show!
