Hasbro brought their A-game to this week’s new Hasbro Pulse Marvel Legends stream of figure reveals, but the most immediate ones were for figures semi-confirmed by leaked prototypes that surfaced over the last few weeks. There was quite a bit of buzz surrounding those leaks, but now fans can lock in their reservations and pine away for the actual products: Marvel Legends Superior Spider-Man and Astonishing X-Men Wolverine are now up for order! Individual Figures Links —Wolverine ► EE Wolverine ► Amazon   Superior Spider-Man ► EE Superior Spider-Man ►Amazon  At this point, Hasbro ha ..read more

X-Men ‘97 is a smash hit, and Hasbro’s excellent tie-in toy line is enjoying massive success as well. As such, I’m continuing along with my series of 6” Marvel legends X-Men 97 figures with a key member of the team. We’ve had several previous Hasbro action figures of her in 90s Jim Lee costume, but is the new X-Men 97 Legends Jean Grey figure the definitive version of the character? For some reason I will never in my life understand, Toybiz refused to ever produce cartoon-costumed Jean Grey (or Jubilee) in their 5” X-Men figures toy line. Toybiz didn’t shy away from producing ultra-obscure ni ..read more

The third time may be the charm for a lot of Marvel collectors, as the always-in-demand comic-based Marvel Legends Kingpin figure is now up for order and making his third Hasbro appearance in the last decade. The 2018 Kingpin Build-A-Figure was a hot commodity, and even the 2021 Spider-Man Retro Series version skyrocketed to sell for over twice its retail MSRP. But now new collectors and those who missed out get a fresh chance with the first-ever Marvel Legends Retro figure re-release! Who else would you like to see reissued, Marvel collectors? From humble beginnings of being easily available ..read more

Way back in my 2017 review, I thought the X-Men Legends Cyclops figure in the Warlock Series was acceptable, despite its flaws, because we were in the middle of a Jim Lee Cyclops famine. In 2024, not so much. We’ve seen numerous representations of Cyke in this costume in the interim, but as far as Hasbro 6” figures go, the newly-released X-Men 97 Marvel Legends Cyclops easily takes the crown as the best Jim Lee Cyclops figure ever made… When I reviewed the previous Hasbro single-packed 90s Cyclops ML figure back in 2017, I strived to look past the fundamental shortcomings of that action figur ..read more

Action figure collectors asking for troop builders never goes out of fashion, but said collectors also want named characters to accompany said troops. And so, following up on SHIELD army builder figures available over the past decade, Hasbro has now got a pack of the most legendary trio (or quartet) of SHIELD agents: the Marvel Legends SHIELD 3-Pack is now up for order, featuring Dum Dum Dugan, Sharon Carter, and both versions of Nick Fury! Two years ago (in the Controller BAF Series), Hasbro gifted fans an awesome (and tricky to find for many) Marvel Legends Quake figure that could be conver ..read more

March 2024 had rushed past, which means that another wave of new solicitations for Marvel collectibles is upon us from Diamond Select Toys. And with no New York Toy Fair last month, this time all of the newly revealed DST Marvel items are ones we had no idea were coming! Arriving later this year, the Marvel Select War Machine, Animated Daredevil Bust, MCU Black Widow bust and the first-ever Weapon H Hulk statue are all up for order now! The biggest shocker—with the biggest price tag—of this batch of pre-orders is unquestionably the resin Marvel Premier Collection Weapon H statue. Weapon Hulk ..read more

Last year, Hasbro kicked off the 2021 New Fantastic Four Marvel Legends team with the first ever fully-articulated Franklin Richards and Valeria Richards figures. And now, Hasbro is dipping back in to give us the other half of the team in their fun black and blue costumes! Continuing the line of Wolverine 50th Anniversary 6” figures, the Marvel Legends Fantastic Four Wolverine and Spider-Man 2-pack is now up for order! Are these quirky-costumed Spidey and Logan figures on your shopping list? Empyre was not exactly a phenomenally successful Marvel crossover on its way to legendary status, but ..read more

In a world where we have Hasbro X-Men Legends figures of Pretty Boy, Vertigo and Skullbuster, it’s really quite astonishing that one the greatest female X-villains of all time has never had a toy… until now. After fans’ hopes were dashed by the failed Ghost Rider Haslab, Cyclops’ first wife is finally here: the X-Men 97 Wave 2 Marvel Legends Goblin Queen Madelyne Pryor figure is now starting to arrive! After being taken off the drawing board (so to speak) in the legendary 1989 X-Men Inferno crossover event, Madelyne Pryor spent decades making only occasional comic book appearances. But she re ..read more

It may be tough to believe, but Hasbro is about to release their third 6” Marvel Legends Arnim Zola action figure this year, alongside their fourth Baron Zemo. That said, fandom still has a healthy appetite for both of these nefarious nazis, and their latest releases do look quite nice for those who need them: the Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends Zemo & Arnim Zola 2-Pack is now up for order! When Hasbro first released Arnim Zola as a Build-A-Figure in 2012, I thought it was unlikely that Zola would ever make a return appearance in 6” plastic form. I was wrong, as he did make a comeback in ..read more

When you’re bringing a toy of a relativrly unknown character to retail stores, said toy needs to be really cool to earn buys and avoid rotting off the shelves (or worse, ending up at Ollie’s). Hasbro delivered such a figure with Crystar earlier this year, and (spoilers for the rest of this review) they do so again with this terrific X-Men 97 Marvel Legends X-Cutioner figure that’s shipping out this month as part of wave 2 of the line. Here’s my review… X-Cutioner, a 1993-created human villain known primarily by die-hard X-Men fans, is probably not a character that many had on their 2024 Marve ..read more
