  Marvel Rivals has brought a fresh, high-energy take on the Marvel Universe to gamers — and now the battle is moving from the screen to the collector’s shelf. With its line of Marvel Rivals collectibles, McFarlane Toys brings the game’s bold character designs to life through detailed display pieces featuring some of Marvel’s most iconic heroes and villains. Spider-Man, Iron Man, Venom, Hulk, Magneto and more are ready to join your roster. The only question is: who’s your main? From Marvel Rivals to Your Display Shelf Marvel Rivals has built its identity around fast-paced team battles, an ever-expanding roster of Marvel characters and distinctive redesigns of heroes fans already know and love. The McFarlane Toys Marvel Rivals collection takes that visual identity beyond the game. Rather than simply recreating classic comic-book appearances, these Marvel Rivals figures capture the costumes, silhouettes and personalities seen in the game, making them especially appealing to both gamers and longtime Marvel collectors. It’s a crossover between two passions: gaming and collecting. Spider-Man, Venom, Iron Man, Hulk and More Building a Marvel Rivals collection means assembling your own real-world roster.?️ Spider-Man brings the unmistakable energy of Marvel’s wall-crawler to the collection. ? Venom offers a darker presence, with the massive proportions and symbiote-inspired design that make him instantly recognizable. ? Iron Man turns Tony Stark’s high-tech Marvel Rivals armor into an eye-catching display piece. ? Hulk delivers the sheer scale and power you would expect from one of Marvel’s strongest heroes. ? Magneto adds one of the Marvel Universe’s most iconic mutants to the lineup.The roster continues to expand, with characters such as Black Panther and Mister Fantastic also joining the McFarlane Toys Marvel Rivals collection. For collectors, that expanding lineup is part of the appeal. Just like building a team in the game, the challenge quickly becomes deciding who earns the next spot on your shelf. Marvel Rivals Collectibles Made for Fans and Gamers McFarlane Toys has built its reputation around character-driven collectibles and highly recognizable sculpts. Its Marvel Rivals range is especially suited to display, combining recognizable characters with visual elements inspired by the game’s distinctive style. Depending on the release, some collectibles also include extras such as character art cards, display bases or Marvel Rivals comic books, adding even more appeal for dedicated fans. The range is therefore particularly interesting for:Marvel collectors looking for new interpretations of classic characters Marvel Rivals players who want to collect their favorite mains Gaming collectible fans Spider-Man, Venom, X-Men and Avengers fans Collectors looking for distinctive Marvel display piecesWhy Marvel Rivals Works So Well as a Collectible Line One of Marvel Rivals’ greatest strengths is its visual direction. Even instantly recognizable characters feature distinctive armor, costumes, proportions and details that separate their in-game appearances from more traditional Marvel designs. For collectors, that matters. A Marvel Rivals Spider-Man figure doesn’t simply feel like another Spider-Man collectible. The same applies to Iron Man, Magneto, Venom or Hulk. Each design represents a specific version of the character inspired by the game, giving Marvel fans another reason to add it to an existing collection. And as Marvel Rivals continues to evolve with new heroes, seasons and team combinations, the potential collectible roster keeps growing too. Build Your Own Marvel Rivals Roster Do you build your collection around the characters you actually play? Do you stick with one Marvel team, or simply choose the designs that look best on display? That’s where collecting Marvel Rivals figures gets interesting. You can build an Avengers lineup, focus on mutants, pair Spider-Man with Venom or mix heroes and villains to create your own dream roster. There really is no wrong way to build your Marvel Rivals collection. Which Marvel Rivals Character Is Your Main? Whether you discovered these characters through Marvel comics, movies or Marvel Rivals itself, McFarlane Toys offers a new way to bring your favorite heroes beyond the screen. Choose your favorites, build your roster and turn your shelf into your own Marvel Rivals battlefield. ? Who’s your main — and which Marvel Rivals figure should join your collection next?

  Sporty, Scary, Baby, Ginger, or Posh: which Spice Girl was your favorite? In 1996, five British pop stars took over the charts with Wannabe and a message that would define a generation: Girl Power. Thirty years later, the Spice Girls remain one of the most recognizable and beloved groups of the ’90s. From unforgettable songs and iconic outfits to five larger-than-life personalities, the Spice Girls were made for pop culture. Today, their legacy lives on through music, nostalgia, and collectibles—including Spice Girls Funko Pop! figures that bring a little ’90s attitude to any display. Sporty, Scary, Baby, Ginger, and Posh: Five Icons, Five Styles Part of what made the Spice Girls phenomenon so powerful was simple: every member had her own instantly recognizable personality and style. Melanie C, Sporty Spice, brought athletic energy, tracksuits, and a confident stage presence. Mel B, Scary Spice, stood out with her bold personality, fearless attitude, and unmistakable fashion. Emma Bunton, Baby Spice, became known for her playful, colorful looks and sweet pop persona. Geri Halliwell, Ginger Spice, delivered some of the group’s most memorable fashion moments—including the legendary Union Jack dress. And Victoria Beckham, Posh Spice, completed the lineup with her sleek, sophisticated style. Those five distinct personalities helped turn the Spice Girls into a global phenomenon—and explain why fans still have their own favorite Spice three decades later. The Spice Girls Get the Funko Pop! Treatment The Spice Girls Funko Pop! collection transforms all five members of the group into collectible vinyl figures, complete with the signature looks and details that made each Spice Girl instantly recognizable. Funko’s unmistakable Pop! style makes these figures a fun way to celebrate the group while adding a piece of ’90s music history to your collection. For dedicated fans, there’s an obvious goal: collect Sporty, Scary, Baby, Ginger, and Posh and reunite the entire group on your shelf. And if you grew up during the ’90s, it may be impossible to look at the lineup without hearing a few notes of Wannabe, Spice Up Your Life, or Stop in your head. Why Is ’90s Nostalgia Still So Popular? The Spice Girls are part of a much bigger pop culture trend: the continuing popularity of ’80s and ’90s nostalgia. Music, movies, TV shows, video games, fashion, toys, and collectibles from those decades continue to find new audiences while reconnecting longtime fans with the things they loved growing up. For many adult collectors, a figure is about more than decorating a shelf. It can represent a favorite movie, a game played for hours, an album listened to on repeat, or a song connected to a specific moment in their lives. That’s what makes Spice Girls Funko Pop! figures such a natural fit for collectors. They bring together music, ’90s nostalgia, and modern pop culture collecting in one lineup. Girl Power: More Than a Catchphrase Behind the chart-topping hits, colorful fashion, and larger-than-life personalities was a phrase that became inseparable from the Spice Girls: Girl Power. The group used it to celebrate friendship, confidence, independence, and women supporting one another. It was simple, memorable, and became one of the defining messages associated with the band. Thirty years later, Girl Power remains an essential part of the Spice Girls legacy—and the group is still instantly recognizable to fans who grew up with them as well as younger generations discovering their music today. Which Spice Girl Belongs in Your Collection? Now comes the hardest part: choosing your favorite. Sporty, Scary, Baby, Ginger, or Posh? Some collectors will want to reunite all five Spice Girls, while others may simply choose the member who defined the group for them. Either way, Spice Girls Funko Pop! figures offer a fun way to celebrate 30 years of Girl Power and bring one of the biggest pop culture phenomena of the ’90s into your collection. So tell us: which Spice Girl deserves a spot on your shelf? Shop the Spice Girls Funko Pop! collection at 1001Hob [...]
