Marvel and McFarlane Toys Collaborate on All-New Marvel Collection

McFarlane Toys, a trailblazer in the world of action figures and collectibles, proudly announces a landmark collaboration with Marvel. Through this collaboration, Todd McFarlane’s iconic Marvel artwork will be brought to life in a collection of posed figures, available in both 1:10 and 1:6 scales. It’s a pivotal moment, marking the first time Todd McFarlane, CEO/Founder of McFarlane Toys, will turn some of his own Marvel drawings into stunning 3D detail, offering fans an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of comic book history.

The 1:10th scale posed figures will celebrate the enduring legacy of Marvel Comics and the legendary artists behind its characters. The inaugural wave features figures inspired by the artistry of Todd McFarlane, Jim Lee, Steve Ditko, John Romita Jr., and Rob Liefeld and showcases iconic characters such as Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man, and Deadpool. Each figure is based upon some of Marvel Comics’ most memorable covers and will be set within an environmental base and includes a diorama backdrop to complete the final presentation.

Capwolf & The Howling Commandos

In the early 90s, Steve Rogers transformed into CAPWOLF in writer Mark Gruenwald and artist Rik Levins’ unforgettable “Man and Wolf” story arc. Now over 30 years later, CAPWOLF is back in his own limited series, CAPWOLF & THE HOWLING COMMMANDOS!

Written by Stephanie Phillips and drawn by Carlos Magno, this four-issue limited series will tell an all-new story where Steve becomes a terrifying werewolf during an early World War II mission. Luckily, his fiercest allies are by his side--Nick Fury and the Howling Commandos! After years of combat, this elite squad of soldiers thought they’d seen it all but this might be their wildest adventure yet as the series captures the spirit of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s classic wartime storytelling with a modern mystical twist!

Captain America: Civil War Trailer.. The Bromance Version

After a big trailer comes out, people like to remix it...add their snarky remarks, gushing praise and/or geek fueled hate..add LEGOs (or remake the whole damn thing in LEGOs..which is always awesome and preferable) and take that unique experience to a new level. Today, a creative man named Anthony Meadows decided the ultimate super powered Bromance love triangle needed just a bit more emo. Adele's new hit song "Hello" fit the bill perfectly. Watch as all your feels are ripped asunder...

Toy Fair 2015: More Mighty Marvel from Hasbro

Back into the post UK, post Nuremberg, pre-NY Toy Fair 2015 show!!  WOOO. We should put all that on a t shirt. It's kinda catchy. Hasbro hops back into the kiddie pool with a stack of toys that may delight children while angering long time adult fans who will be found in the isles shaking boxes yelling "WHY AREN'T YOU A MARVEL LEGENDS AVENGERS LINE??!!

Reporting for Duty at the Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. Exhibition in New York City

We don't get paid much, and our accolades are few, but there are PERKS to writing for tiny little geeky websites! One such perk is being invited to fun happenings in the tri state area..and you'd better believe the Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. Exhibition was on our radar from the first second they announced it was in the works, so when they said COME ON DOWN...we practically lined up that night.

The exhibition had a bit of a rocky start, from a number of perspectives. A call for press to come on a preview night got the attention of our excellent photographer Galaxia Siandre, who arrived ready to take a bazillion pictures and play with all the buttons. ALL THE BUTTONS. Sadly, half the displays didn't seem to be active yet and the ones that were were swamped by children in an already over crowded venue, so Galaxia shot what she could, grabbed an official SHIELD cupcake (damn good bakers that save the world I suppose) and headed back home.

Marvel Infinite Series Action Figures: Wave 1 Reviewed

Marvel Universe is BACK! ...well...sort of. The return of the Marvel Legends 6 inch scale to the pegs in force sent up many a cheer among the toy buying hordes, but the deep sobbing from those who had come to love the 1:18th scale figures could be heard as well. Would the line continue? Would they pick up right where they left off or reboot the whole darn thing in favor of a "simplified" figure design for the kiddies who have just discovered the mighty Marvel Universe via The Avengers. The arrival of pre-orders for Marvel Infinite Series Wave 1 action figures ended all speculation...AND NOW THEY ARE HERE. Good..Bad...Dan Curto is the guy with the camera...and many opinions. Take it away Dan!

Disney in 2014

 On the doorstep of 2014, Disney reports in on their film slate for the year and HOLY DAMN GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY IS SO DAMN FAR AWAY I'M GONNA DIIIIIE!!! Yea..so...there's some other movies as well. I hear Captain America is amazing and Into the Woods will leave many a teary eye in every theater. Let's check out the rest!

2014 Preview: Hasbro's Captain America: Winter Soldier Toy Line

2014 toy coverage continues with more from Marvel Studios' massive Marvel Comics films! ...and as usual, the reveals are somewhat diminished by the figures already hitting the west coast. So far, hardcore toy collectors have found the 6 inch figures at Target stores with 3.75 inch figures following close behind, most likely found in the same regions, though we have not confirmed that. Here's what's to come.

D23 Expo: Marvel Movies & More Live Action Films

Steve Sievers, Chelsea Sievers and lil baby Sievers took to Disney's D23 convention on behalf of Idle Hands and sent over this report on all the Marvel Studios talk at the show. Well, to be honest, it appears Steve and Chelsea were doing all the work while the baby was just lumping around looking cute. YOU CAN'T GET BY ON YOUR LOOKS YOUR WHOLE LIFE BABY!!! Here's Steve's report coupled with some bits from Disney...

Thor: The Dark World opened with the same footage from San Diego Comic-Con 2013, which is pretty much extended scenes you see in the new trailer. Stars Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins took to the stage with Tom immediately apologizing for not being dressed up as Loki. Many in the crowd cheer him on to sing but he said sorry, not today.

SDCC 2013: Marvel Studios: An Evening with Loki and Winter Soldier Insight

It's hard to believe there is only ONE DAY left to San Diego Comic Con 2013! I've been going for nearly 12 years straight now, broken by this year's lack of funds to make the trip...and it sounds like I picked like a hell of a year to sit this one out! The Marvel Studios panel is probably still washing over those fans who were in Hall H a short time ago, and well it should. LOKI JUST ASKED THEM TO JOIN HIM IN GLORIOUS BATTLE!!! Yes..while I sat in New Jersey, sans pants, as Emi caught up on Once Upon a Time Season 1, Tom Hiddleston took the stage dressed head to to as Loki and the crowd damn near lost their minds. He paced the stage and asked "Where are your Avengers now??!!" The crowd went berzerk. "Pledge your loyalty to me." One man in the audience shouted NEVER as the women around him were practically throwing their panties. To prove that man was outnumbered, Lokie said three simple words. "Say my name." LOKI came the chant. "Say...my name." LOKI came the call. "SAY MY NAME!" he demanded with arms raised. LOKI came the screams. "It seems I have an army" was his resolute parting remark as he motioned to the screen about to show the Thor: The Dark World footage and left the stage. Wish you were there? Holy damn man...I'm right there with you! We've got the next best thing...

President America Takes Office

Oh, you wacky comics. DC shakes up their entire universe and pseudo-reboots with more rooftop bump-n-grind, side boob, re-written histories and altered sexual preferences. Since that day, folks have been trying to calculate if these drastic changes have actually given a boost to a slowly sinking comic industry...and were waiting to see what Marvel would do as counterpoint. So far we've gotten a gay marriage, the infinite battle of your two favorite teams (Avengers vs X-Men), a significant death, and now...Captain America takes on his most fearsome foe to date....The American Public. ~shudder~

The story that rocked the Ultimate Comics Universe begins a new chapter right here! After rallying Earth's Mightiest Heroes to victory, Captain America is sworn in as the new President of the United States...just in time to face a deadly villain with a personal tie to the Ultimates!

Avengers 2 for 2015

It isn't even on Blu-ray yet, but the fine folks at Disney know a sure thing when they see one. Amid the flurry of excitement over Joss Whedon remaining the baby daddy for the series and even further, getting his hands on an Avengers universe based TV series, we've had a range of titles announced to get excited over. There's the "coming soon" lineup...

Chinese Avengers Do It Better

If by "better" you mean "funnier" and your version of funny is to watch someone massacre the holy hell out of something you love by doing everything wrong, unintentionally causing unending comedy you will surely use as background visuals at future drunken parties...then yea..the Chinese Bootleg version of the upcoming Avengers DVD is far superior to the one we'll be able to buy come September! Worst Previews tipped us off to a post on the Bileto Tumbler which captured the most awesome bits for your Sunday afternoon entertainment. Enjoy!
