10 Most Expensive Marvel Toys

Marvel has been adept at creating superheroes and super-villains with intriguing personalities and stories for years now. With the popularity these characters have gained over the many years, it is only natural for Marvel to create merchandise for their characters. All this while, Marvel has created many forms of toys with a variety of companies. Today, we will take a look at 10 most expensive Marvel toys.

Marvel Legends: Crimson Dawn Psylocke Variant

In the Marvel Universe, The Crimson Dawn is an elixir which gives life to whoever consumes it. An X-Man mutant known as Psylocke set out to ingest this Crimson Dawn when she was attacked by Wolverine, Sabretooth and Archangel and sustained mortal wounds. With the help of Doctor Strange, Psylocke successfully consumed the Crimson Dawn and developed teleportation as well as telepathic abilities.

These events inspired the Marvel Legends: Crimson Dawn Psylocke Variant action figure. The figure was created under the ToyBiz Mojo line, however, it never saw release. It was later abandoned as well. Due to its rarity, the toy could cost anywhere around $15,000. It was sold on E-Bay for as high as $2,500.

Marvel’s Luke Cage is a superhero from Harlem, New York with unbreakable skin and superhuman strength. He has fought innumerable enemies and was also a part of the team of superheroes known as The Defenders, which also included, Daredevil, Jessica Jones and the Iron Fist, besides Cage, himself.

The Marvel Legends: Silver-Shirt Luke Cage action figure is based on this superhero. It is an extremely rare toy, in league with the Marvel Legends: Crimson Dawn Psylocke. There are only 12 units of this toy, which is sold for around $2000-$3000. The item was sold for the highest price of $25,000 as a part of the set with the Marvel Legends: Crimson Dawn Psylocke.

Spider-Man is one of the most famous characters and a fan favourite. He was especially popular among the youth and served as an inspiration to them. He has had a lasting effect on popular culture which is also evident today.

The Mego Spider-Man was created back in the 1970s, along with the Mego Captain America. Due to being a vintage toy and on top of that super rare, this is priced incredibly high as well. The toy can cost up to $1,400 at least.

Hot Toys: Hulkbuster

The Hulkbuster was a special Iron Man armour created by Tony Stark to specifically stop Bruce Banner’s Hulk. The Hulkbuster is a large armour, the same size as the Hulk and is outfitted with the special Artificial Intelligence called Veronica. It made an unforgettable appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film, ‘Captain America: Civil War’ (2016)

Hot Toys recreated a miniature version of the Hulkbuster so the collectors could keep one in their own houses. This toy is made with extreme attention to detail and is a very accurate replica of the film version of the armour. The toy was sold for a very high price of $1,500.

Marvelmania Ghost Rider

The Ghost Rider is one of Marvel’s infamous anti-heroes. Johnny Blaze sacrificed his soul to the devil in order to protect his close ones. In return, Johnny became the Ghost Rider, whose body would light up in flames and would cleanse the souls of the sinners by burning them with hellfire.

Fleetwood Toys produced a series of Marvelmania Ghost Rider figures which have a terrifying appearance and are sold for around $2,500 on E-Bay.

Created under the line of Marvel Legend Toys, the Marvel Legend: Blue Wasp Variant became a huge choice for collectors. The Wasp was also available in her usual costume. However, this only made her Blue Wasp Variant more worthwhile. It has sold for the high price of $5,000.

X-Men: Sentinels
