And today’s finally the day fans can lock in their own Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland 3-Pack: the Marvel Legends No Way Home Spider-Man 3-Pack is up for pre-order today!

We can expect Hasbro to unleash a multitude of new Marvel Legends announcements and reveals next week at SDCC 2022, but while we wait for even newer action figures to be unveiled in San Diego, I’ll continue with my reviews of what’s already been released this year. And today I’ll move on to the third figure in the X-Men Bonebreaker series that’s surprisingly underwhelmed me thus far: Marvel Legends Darwin! Is this adaptable mutant the fittest figure in this wave thus far?

Despite being a core member of the original X-Force team and Peter David’s X-Factor Investigations roster, with hundreds of appearances in Marvel comic books over the last 40 years, Siryn has never had a mass release action figure… until now. Theresa Cassidy’s time has finally come, but is the X-Men Marvel Legends Siryn figure that just started shipping the definitive hit collectors hoped for?

I read peoples’ Marvel legends wish lists virtually every day of my life, but one figure I can’t remember ever seeing requested in the last decade is an updated First Appearance/Classic Sabretooth figure. Even so, Classic Sabretooth is now shipping from the X-Men Bonebreaker Series, and collectors wanting to complete the Build-A-Figure will need to buy him. Does Hasbro one-up what Toybiz did way back in 2006? Here’s my review…

Thor Love and Thunder premieres in movie theaters next week, so I need to pick up the pace with the second half of my reviews for the corresponding Marvel Legends series that’s available now. Next up is the second Guardians of the Galaxy representative in the wave—the first Marvel Legends Star-Lord figure in half a decade! But those expecting a superior iteration to what’s come before may be disappointed…

Hasbro has begun a new tradition this year of revealing some type of Marvel Legends news on the 20th of each month, be it an all-new figure announcement or just fresh images of something we’ve previously been shown. And their June 20th sneak peek just may be the best one yet: built on the body of the rare and astronomically expensive Build-A-Figure from half a decade ago, the exclusive Marvel Legends Apocalypse Retro figure is now up for order!

All-new figures will always be preferred by collectors to repacked ones (especially at today’s retail prices), but sometimes a refresh of an old figure hits the right notes such that fans don’t complain. Such is the case with the newly-released Thor Love and Thunder Marvel Legends Groot figure, which combines a lot of newness with a much-requested re-release of the 2018 Teen Groot…

It’s been quite a while since there was a new GameStop Exclusive Marvel Legends figure for fans to look forward to and/or fear missing out on. But that streak came to an end today, with an unexpected Marvel Legends Mister Negative & Inner Demon figures two-pack going up for order! Fans have been waiting for a 6″ Mr. Negative Legends figure for years–will this one satisfy their needs?

Say what you will about Natalie Portman’s performances in the Star Wars movies, but Padmé is one of my favorite female characters across all of Star Wars and one of my preferred actresses in general. So I was thrilled when Portman was cast as Jane Foster in the Thor movies, and elated to hear she’d be returning for Thor Love and Thunder. Somehow, Hasbro has never produced a Natalie Portman Jane Foster figure before in their 10+ years of producing MCU movie figures. But Portman’s time has come: Marvel Legends Mighty Thor is shipping now! Is this a worthy inaugural ML Natalie Portman?

The MCU iteration of Valkyrie is a drastic departure from the main Marvel comic book version representation of that same character, but I think this is an instance where the mainstream movie iteration makes a traditionally mildly successful character worlds more popular and marketable. As such, it seems appropriate that MCU Valkyrie will now surpass her comics self in ML editions, as the new (and pretty great) Thor: Love and Thunder Marvel Legends King Valkyrie figure is now shipping out to fans…

It’s no secret that Disney is subtly introducing the Young Avengers to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Kate Bishop Hawkeye, Patriot, Wiccan and Speed all debuting (to an extent) over the past year. And another core Young Avenger is premiering in the MCU and as a 6” super-articulated Hasbro figure this spring: the Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness Marvel Legends America Chavez figure is now available! Should she punch her way through the Multiverse and into your collection? Here’s my review…

It’s been a while since an entire major series of movie Marvel Legends figures managed to completely slip out and become public knowledge before Hasbro could even announce a singular figure from the lineup, but that’s exactly what happened this month with the latest MCU wave. Weeks prior to the scheduled pre-order, the entire Marvel Legends Thor Love and Thunder series leaked all over the internet. Hasbro hastily announced the set last week after the cat was out of the bag, and now the Thor Legends Korg Series is officially up for order!

If someone had told me a few years back that the day would come when Wong would be the most vital Marvel Cinematic Universe hero lacking a super-articulated figure, I’m not sure I would have believed them. But that day did come, and now it’s gone—because the Hasbro Marvel Legends Wong Figure is now shipping! Fans have been requesting a movie Wong Legends figures for six years now—is the first mass-release Wong figure ever worth your 20+ bucks?

The once-unthinkable happened last week, when longtime niche “B-List” fan-favorite character Moon Knight became a household name to millions and millions of Disney+ viewers who had never been exposed to the character previously. And a new boost in notoriety also means new merch! Hasbro, Diamond Select Toys, Funko, Hot Toys and more are all answering the call with newly-revealed Moon Knight figures, including Marvel Legends, Marvel Select and even POP Vinyls!
