2021 Marvel Legends MODOK! Dusty Deadpool! Nova! Ultron! & More New Figures!

While the big hype coming out of today’s final Marvel Fan First Friday of 2020 is unquestionably pre-orders opening up for the 2021 Marvel Legends X-Men House of X Series, that doesn’t mean Hasbro didn’t have plenty of other goodness to show off during the stream! In addition to the the full reveal and pre-orders opening up for the amazing new Marvel Legends MODOK figure and an Exclusive Dusty Deadpool movie figure, we also got news on a new classic Ultron, Cannonball (with legs!!), Fallen One Silver Surfer with Mjolnir and more!

Marvel Legends 2021 Figures Ultron Nova MODOK Fallen One Silver Surfer

So at the previous Hasbro Marvel team livestream, they dropped a not-exactly-difficult-to-figure-out teaser at the end of the broadcast for what could really only be an all-new MODOK Marvel Legends figure.

Even though Toybiz did their own MODOK Legends Build-A-Figure back in the day, that was around a decade and a half ago now—and there was definitely a bit of room to grow. So when Hasbro debuted their own ML MODOK, while it wasn’t precisely a “surprise”, I definitely had some curiosity about whether or not Hasbro had managed to up the MODOK ante.

MODOK Marvel Legends 2021 Figure Packaged Box

And as it so happened…? Yup—the 2021 Marvel Legends MODOK deluxe figure easily blows the vintage Toybiz version out of the water! At a cost of 50 smackers, he’s also a lot cheaper than having to buy a whole wave to build, and unencumbered by limitations of pieces having to fit into single figures’ packaging!

Marvel Legends MODOK 2021 Deluxe Figure and Accessories

With interchangeable hands, a blast effect for “flying”, and two interchangeable face plates with different expressions (the open-mouthed one is the winner, IMO), this 8” MODOK action figure is the last toy of the figure I’ll ever need to buy. Outstanding.

Marvel Legends Dusty Deadpool Amazon Exclusive Figure Packaged

The other new figure that went up for order today, I am a bit less enamored about. We should have seen the writing on the wall when Hot Toys had done a “Dusty” Deadpool sixth scale figure as an exclusive a few years back, but now Hasbro has officially announced their own iteration of Burned Deadpool as an Amazon Exclusive!

Burned Deadpool Marvel Legends Movie Figure Exclusive

Honestly, I am legit over needing figures from the Deadpool movies at this point (unless that figure is Colossus or Juggernaut), so I’m not exactly on cloud nine regarding this announcement. Even so, it’s a cool enough looking figure that can work in a pinch as a stand-in for an “X-Force” Deadpool movie figure. Not gray enough for me and no brick accessory, though, makes this a slight pass for me (and I may still break down and buy it anyway because I am weak).

Walgreens Exclusive Fallen One Silver Surfer Figure Packaged Exclusive

While they weren’t available for pre-order today, Hasbro also confirmed the first two 2021 Marvel Legends Walgreens exclusives. The theme for Walgreens next year will be “cosmic” characters, beginning with the previously shown Fallen One Silver Surfer.

Fallen Silver Surfer Black Walgreens Exclusive Marvel Legends Figure with Mjolnir

While this iteration of Silver Surfer only appears in relatively few comic books, let’s be real here: this is a Mjolnir-wielding gunmetal/black Silver Surfer Marvel Legends figure: it is destined to be hella popular and a super quick sellout. I just wish Hasbro would reissue the regular version of Norrin as well for the many fans who still need one.

Walgreens Exclusive Marvel Legends Nova 2021 Figure

Also debuting as a Walgreens 2021 exclusive is a new classic Nova Rich Rider Marvel Legends figure. With Rage and Night Thrasher easy to get now and Firestar on the way, now is a good time to get an updated ML Nova. Can Speedball be far behind? (If we can get Frog-Man, surely we can get Speedball, right…?)

Marvel Legends Ultron Classic 2021 Figure Teaser

Finally, we got two teases for future 2021 announcements: Cannonball with legs and a classic Ultron with a badass energy effects piece surrounding his mouth. I wasn’t expecting the Ultron at all, but I definitely dig its very classic styling.

Meanwhile, the Marvel Legends collecting community cried out for a Cannonball figure with legs (instead of just a blast effect), and Hasbro has (or is about to) answer. Kudos.

The new Marvel Legends Dusty Deadpool figure is now available exclusively on Amazon, whereas the deluxe MODOK is available via Amazon and specialty retailers like EE. The rest of the new figures aren’t available for ordering just yet, but will roll out in 2021.

How did Hasbro do, Marvel collectors? Does their new MODOK blow Toybiz’s out of the water, or is there not enough of an upgrade to get you pumped up? And how do you feel about the other new toys that the Hasbro team debuted in the final 2020 Marvel Fan First Friday video?

2021 Marvel Legends MODOK! Dusty Deadpool! Nova! Ultron! & More New Figures! — 12 Comments

  1. MODOK is cool, but not $50 cool. He’s worth $35 tops, for me. I can easily pass until he goes down in that price range. Deadpool and Silver Surfer are easy passes for me, as I’ve got the regular figs of them. Nova is a definite pickup, and I will probably get Ultron as well.

    • I agree about the $50 bucks for MODOK, but instead of thinking, “I’ll wait until he’s cheaper,” I was thinking, “Oh no, what if he goes up in price even more?” So he’s pre-ordered.

  2. …Did I somehow miss and/or forget a Firestar figure was coming? She’s been one of my most wanted for a long while, can’t believe I missed that announcement. Can’t wait to get her and this Nova. Hopefully Speedball, Namorita, and Justice are right around the corner.

    Ultron and MODOK are awesome too, definitely picking those up down the line. Pass on the Surfer and Deadpool.

    And finally, legs for Sam. Glad he’s getting them.

    • Since you mentioned Justice it made me think of a possible Vance Astro figure. That would be simple for them to make with a basic body mold, blue and white paint and a Captain America shield. I’d love to have one of those.

      • They did though. He was in the first GOTG wave, with the Titus BAF. A quick search found him on eBay for $18. Hope you can baby one 🙂

        • You’re RIGHT! And to make it even worse, I actually own that figure now that I checked my list.😏 I guess with the 1000+ figures I’ve collected over the decades I actually forgot that one even existed. A good problem to have I suppose… or I’m just getting old and I’m losing my mind. 😆 Thanks for the reminder!

  3. I don’t believe that they will give us just legs for Sammy; I suspect that they will make a New Mutants (Walgreens Exclusive) style costume with extra Sunspot and Cypher heads. Otherwise, they might give us his second X-force outfit, blue and yellow, or his X-men style graduation costume, also blue and yellow, when he joined the X-men after the Age of Apocalypse.

    Hopefully, this trend of releasing New Warriors continues. While I would love Turbo and Silhouette, I might have to be satified with at least Speedball, Namorita & Justice

    On the Cosmic side we better get Quasar and I would purchase many Crystals if they wanteed to continue The Inhumans/FF

  4. I’m hoping for some new Avengers from Jason Aarons current run.
    Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes), She Hulk (current version/new costume), Black O
    Panther, Iron Man and Thor (new costume).
    Toad would be a good addition, Storm (modern version), Archangel and a Krakoan Gateway BAF

  5. I wonder if the Ultron head pack-in with the retro-card Vision fits on this new Ultron.
