Which Marvel gifts should you skip this year?

• S.H.Figuarts Doctor Doom (Avengers: Doomsday), $89: it doesn’t ship until February 19, 2027, so it won’t make Christmas.
• LEGO New Avengers Tower (76352) from third-party sellers: right now Amazon only lists it from an outside seller at $103.95. It’s out October 4, so wait until Amazon or LEGO sells it directly.

When should you buy Marvel gifts for Christmas 2026?

Buy the advent calendar and anything in stock in October, and watch the Doomsday wave. The Quinjet, Epic Battle and New Avengers Tower LEGO sets release October 4, the Amazon-exclusive Magneto on October 15, and Avengers: Doomsday opens December 18, right before Christmas. Expect the most popular Doomsday sets to sell out closer to the movie.

We’ll check these prices again before Black Friday. For every Marvel release still coming this year, see every Marvel and DC release of 2026.
