Hot Toys, with a financial boner that can presumably be seen from space with the naked eye at this point, are busy rolling out plenty of Avengers: Endgame toys and with a market that happily snaps up every Iron Man figure released by them every 27 seconds, this latest and final incarnation of James Rhodes in his trademark armour may just be the creme de la creme of the lot. Here’s a closer look at it.

This year’s Star Wars film will introduce yet another variant, in the form of the Sith Trooper. StarWars.com revealed the new design of soldier who’ll be menacing the cast of Rise of Skywalker, and so far it looks hot. Cutting edge armour, painted in crimson red and sporting enough angles to put your eye out if they make a sudden left turn? Yeah, I’m sold.

Hot Toys is looking to immortalise the best cameo of the Marvel Comics legend, as they’re bringing Smilin’ Stan Lee back for one more slice of immortal merchandising.

Basically a red onesie with a hoodie on top of it, the Scarlet Spider was budget Spider-Man at its worst during the Clone Saga that everyone wishes that they could forget about. It just didn’t work on the printed page but fast forward a few years later and the costume kind of worked in video game form. Insomniac took the classic edgy idea, added some sweet new textures to it and there you had it: A Scarlet Spider costume which didn’t look like it made out of donated clothing. Hot Toys has taken that idea and run even wilder with it.

While Hot Toys does still have a few DC projects in the works, it’s the Movie Masterpiece line that has held my interest as of late. Their recent Neo from The Matrix was amazing, having a mini Johnny Depp in Jack Sparrow gear was piratastic and if I had more cash I’d probably buy all the Star Wars figures. Their next figure though? A fantastic replica of a great character from a terrible movie.

At one point, Hot Toys actually made a 1:1 scale replica of the gauntlet, which could be worn if you happened to have a hand and forearm size of 68cm. The manufacturer of high end toys is back with another go at the fabled weapon of universal destruction, which has been shrunk down to a more manageable quarter-scale reproduction.

Listen, I don’t mean to sound weird…but hot damn is the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Thanos an absolute unit. Here is a character who is meant to be the biggest bad possible, and he does so tremendously thanks to his acquisition of the Infinity Stones. It’s actually a monumental scene in the beginning of Avengers: Infinity War when Thanos …

This summer, the most important movie in Marvel Cinematic Universe history finally arrives: Goose the Cat. Plus, there’s some other ass-kicking alien warrior woman by the name of Captain Marvel in it as well, but I’m more interested to see what shenanigans Goose gets up to.
