If you haven’t been keeping up with all things Marvel, then you may not be aware of Sony PlayStation’s Spider-Man game series. The first installment, Marvel’s Spider-Man, was considered one of the best game titles of 2018 for its immersive gameplay, cutting-edge graphics, and deep storytelling. Recently, Sony released its second installment featuring comic book fan-favorite Miles Morales, and so far reviews for the game have gone through the roof. Well-received for its narrative gameplay, players finally get to experience the bioelectric venom blast and camouflage powers of Spider-Man’s young protege.

Marvel Funko Pop! Figures
Over the past few years, Funko Pops have slowly become must-haves for collectors invested in any major franchise. This year, the Funko Pop! brand has released new Marvel figurines that include Black Widow, Loki, and the Scarlet Witch. Each one focuses on a particular period in the Marvel characters’ timeline, and the Holiday Groot shown above glows in the dark!
If you’d like a little bit of nostalgia, Black Widow’s Funko Pop figure is outfitted in the all black attire she wore during the first Avengers film, but if you’re trying to commemorate the start of Phase 4, Loki and Wanda’s Funko Pop figures are more in line with the current times. Loki’s Funko Pop is inspired by the trickster’s time in the TVA and comes complete with his signature tan suit and tie, whereas Scarlet Witch’s figure is inspired by Wanda Maximoff’s Scarlet Witch costume from the “Halloween Spooktacular” episode of WandaVision. With prices ranging from $9 to $20 apiece, these hot collectibles are a decently-priced investment for any Marvel fan.
Lego Marvel Mini Figures
The popular toy brand has been introducing its line of Marvel-inspired figures for the past few years, and during that time their popularity has increased immensely. Thanks to that, these toys are usually sold out on the same day that they’re released, so if you’re hoping to buy one, you’d better hurry before they run out. Now that Lego has introduced its newest line⏤which features the most updated characters from all of the most recent Marvel movies and shows⏤the odds of finding them still in stock around Christmas is even more unlikely. Currently, the new set comes with figures heavily inspired by Marvel’s Disney Plus originals, which include WandaVision, Loki, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and the animated What If…?
Marvel Hasbro Shang-Chi Figure
Now that Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi is currently streaming on Disney Plus, more households have a chance to enjoy the blockbuster at home. This means that even more kids will be running around the house acting out their favorite parts from the movie. Why not add something tangible for their imaginations to latch onto? The six-inch Hasbro action toy is currently one of the most realistic depictions of Shang-Chi and comes with his signature bo staff. The figure itself also has several points of articulation, which allow for fluid movement and dozens of realistic poses that are only limited by your child’s imagination. It’s certainly not a bad grab for just $22.50.
