Spending around$250 to $300 on a figure is a bit ludicrous and the highest of ends in that regards. Fortunately, you can still get something comparatively decent and then some with Marvel’s Legends range of action figures.

Blizzard is expanding its premium Overwatch line of figurines once again, this time with an incredibly expensive, gorgeous statue of D.Va.

Situated in a cosy wing of the Cape Town International Convention Center, FanCon played host to the likes of Top Cow big cheese Tom Hawkins, legendary comic book writer Ron Marz, John “Chew” Layman and Eric “Hillbilly” Powell. It built on a tremendous first outing that kicked off in 2016, growing even larger in 2017. FanCon grows even bigger this year, as the dates for the 2018 show have been announced: April 28-29.
