The just-released (and I mean just-released like a few days ago) Marvel Select Human Torch figure exceeds my expectations for it, but I’m not sold yet that it is the definitive figure of flame-on Johnny Storm. We are not gonna see a better Titanium Man than this-grab him now while he’s retail-priced if you care about this classic Iron Man villain at all. With a 100% uniquely tooled sculpt and a size that makes him look formidable against both Marvel Select and Marvel Legends figures, this is certainly going to be a hit for DST that will escalate on the aftermarket like their Destroyer Odin figure (which rakes in close to 100 bucks these days). I seriously doubt anyone is ever going to display this figure with the Boris Bullski portrait, but it’s good of Diamond Select Toys to increase it nonetheless, since this is a character version that definitely ain’t getting another figure anytime soon (if ever). This is the classic Titanium Man design from the comics, complete with an interchangeable Boris Bullski (I had to stop my brain from auto-piloting and typing Bullshi*) head. Fans of the Diamond Select Toys Marvel Select figures series are justifiably feeling a little anxious this year, as there’s been a grand total of one new figure announced for the regular lineup this year (outside of Disney Store exclusives), the Marvel Select WandaVision Scarlet Witch figure that’s expected to arrive next month (whether or not that actually transpires with the industry-wide shipping challenges going on right now, we will see).īut while DST fans wait on pins and needles to see the future of the series (hopefully at New York Comic Con 2021 in just under a month!), the last three currently-revealed Marvel Select comics-based figures quietly began shuffling into specialty stores!įirst up, and probably the most exciting for Hasbro Marvel Legends figure collectors, is the 9.5” Marvel Select Titanium Man figure (which is still available for MSRP on Entertainment Earth, but already being scalped for $45 plus shipping on Amazon-ouch).
