Black Widow Marvel Legends Deluxe White Costume Figure Up for Order!

Posted on by January 17, 2020
Marvel Legends White Costume Black Widow Figure and Accessories

The moment that the first trailer for the Black Widow movie dropped and the corresponding movie Legends wave was revealed last month, collectors started demanding to know when and where we’d be getting a figure of the eye-grabbing white costume seen prominently in the trailer. Well, Hasbro didn’t make us wait too long for the answer: the Deluxe Black Widow Marvel Legends White Costume figure is now up for order with free shipping—and she comes packing extra gun, effects pieces, explosions, a flight stand and more!

REVIEW: Fantastic Four Marvel Legends Human Torch Johnny Storm Figure

Posted on by January 15, 2020
Human Torch Six Inch Figure Hasbro 2020 Marvel Legends

FLAME ON! Or, at least… sort of on! Maybe 10% on! It’s finally time to complete my reviews of the new Marvel Legends Fantastic Four, with the original Marvel hot-headed young male—Johnny Storm! This is the figure that varies the most wildly from the Walgreens Exclusive version, but this Human Torch is also the easiest Fantastic Four Legends figure to snag online for retail. Is there anything wrong with this flamed-off Human Torch figure, or is non-powered Johnny Storm just not as visually compelling in toy form…?

Doctor Doom Marvel Legends 2020 Figure Review (Super Skrull Series)

Posted on by January 10, 2020
Fantastic Four Legends Thing vs Dr Doom

I was planning to finish off the week by flaming on a review of the new Human Torch figure, but it turned out that there was a despot who demanded to be moved closer to Richards in the reviewing queue! Considered by many to be the greatest villain in the Marvel Universe (and even greatest villain period by some), the King of Latveria has already pre-sold out via sites like Amazon and BBTS despite being two-per-case. EE is still taking orders for the new Marvel Legends Doctor Doom figure for an arrival this month—is this a figure worth locking in if you haven’t done so already…?

Marvel Legends 2020 Fantastic Four The Thing Figure Review (Super Skrull Series)

Posted on by January 9, 2020
The Thing and Invisible Woman Hasbro Marvel Legends 2020 Figures

Logically I would follow up my 2020 Marvel Legends Invisible Woman review with a look at her brother (the Human Torch), but instead I’m going to mix things up and focus on the character who would be this wave’s headliner if not for a certain Victor von Doom! Fantastic Four Legends The Thing is in-stock and shipping out now via online stores, and hopefully there will be enough to meet demand this time (as Ben is packed at two-per-case), because this ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing is a real winner of an action figure that every fan deserves a shot at!

REVIEW: 2020 Marvel Legends Fantastic Four Invisible Woman Figure

Fantastic Four Marvel Legends Invisible Woman Review

I kicked off my series of Marvel Legends 2020 reviews yesterday with Mr. Fantastic, and it only seems right that I continue along that track today with Reed’s wife so that he doesn’t get lonely: the Fantastic Four Marvel Legends Invisible Woman figure is now shipping out online! It seems like only yesterday the exclusive Walgreens Invisible Woman hit shelves, but it was actually 2017–has Hasbro found a way to make this Sue Storm a worthy addition to that classic version?

Marvel Legends 2020 Fantastic Four Mr. Fantastic Figure Review

Fantastic Four Legends Mr. Fantastic in Black Costume

Marvel Legends 2020 figures are finally starting to ship out via online retailers (and arrive in some brick and mortar stores), and as such I’m able to launch my first 2020 Marvel Legends review today at last! And what better place to begin than with the leader of Marvel’s first family: the Fantastic Four Marvel Legends Mr. Fantastic figure is shipping out now online—if you already have the Walgreens version, does this new iteration of Reed Richards have anything to offer?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter 6″ Figure

Marvel Legends 2019 Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter Figure Review

I hoped to kick off my 2020 reviews with an actual Marvel Legends 2020 figure review, but I was foiled by the fact that, well… I haven’t received any of the 2020 Marvel Legends figures I ordered yet. Alas! And so, for my first review of the new decade, I’ve got to dip into my cache of unreviewed action figures from the last decade. The Hasbro Marvel Legends Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter figure is discounted to just 12 bucks now and is the first 6” Julia since Toybiz did theirs 13 years ago—has Hasbro outdone their ML predecessor this time out?

Avengers Marvel Legends Loki Figure Review & Photos (Endgame Hulk Series)

Close-Up of Marvel Legends Avengers Hulk Series Loki Action Figure

From Tom Hiddleston Loki to female Loki to Toybiz’s Loki, there have been a fair number of 6” Marvel Legends Loki figures released over the last 13 years. But weirdly enough, one God of Mischief action figure we’ve never gotten before in ML scale is the classic Jack Kirby Loki! But hey, what better time for Hasbro to release one than simultaneously with the classic Thor in the 80th Anniversary series, right? Even so, the classic Avengers Legends Loki is selling for a mere 11 bucks shipped already online—should you get one while he’s nearly half-price…?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Rescue Pepper Potts Figure (Avengers Endgame)

Avengers Endgame Marvel Legends Rescue Figure Review

Avengers Endgame is the highest-grossing movie of all-time and was subject to a near-unparalleled level of interest prior to its release—but some how, some way, Marvel Studios managed to keep many of the film’s secrets from being spoiled for the general public. One of those secrets happened to be that Pepper Potts would don her own designated armor in the final battle. But the secret wasn’t kept from Hasbro, who had a Rescue figure ready to launch right after the movie! Despite still being available online at a discount, Marvel Legends Rescue Pepper Potts is easily the most popular figure in this wave—is it with good reason?

REVIEW: Avengers Marvel Legends War Machine Endgame Figure

Marvel Legends 2019 War Machine Avengers Endgame Six Inch Action Figure Review

2019 was another year jam-packed with new Hasbro Marvel Legends MCU movie figures, with some amazing characters like Korg, the Collector, Luis and more getting their first-ever 6” action figures. But oddly enough, one of my absolute favorite ML movie figures of the year is of something that didn’t actually appear in a movie at all—the Marvel Legends Avengers Endgame War Machine figure! Even though this concept armor permutation wasn’t in Endgame, this toy is so good it seriously makes me wish that it had been…

Review Shuri Action Figure Marvel Legends Avengers Endgame Series

We’re down to a single digit number of days remaining in 2019, and since I’m not expecting too much more Marvel toy news before 2020 arrives (prove me wrong, collectibles companies!) I’ve lined up toy reviews for each day through the end of the year! And first up, it’s an appropriately long overdue review of a figure that came out long overdue following last year’s Black Panther movie! The Marvel Legends Shuri figure is 11 bucks shipped today—would she be 11 bucks well-spent for your collection…?

REVIEW: X-Men Marvel Legends Dazzler Figure (2019 Vintage Series)

Review X-Men Marvel Legends Dazzler 2019 Six Inch Hasbro Figure

From Jubilee and Boom Boom to Beast and Gambit, Hasbro fulfilled a record number of X-Men collectors’ dreams in 2019. And I’ve got one more left to talk about–of a figure I’ve been wanting for 27 years! The X-Men Arcade Game hit arcades in 1992, featuring five of the most iconic team members ever… and Dazzler! Alison Blaire was my go-to character in that game, and I’ve wanted a good action figure of her in that 80s costume practically all my life. I happily paid full price for her this summer, but the Marvel Legends Vintage Dazzler figure is 10 bucks online today–should you get one?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Forge Figure (Hasbro 2019 X-Men Series)

Marvel Legends Forge Review

It’s another slow Marvel toy news day as we tick down the clock to the end of 2019, so let’s dip pack into the cache of figures needing reviews again! This time, let’s have a look at the final figure I needed to review from the X-Men Legends Caliban Series. Believe it or not, this Marvel Legends Forge figure (who’s available online now at a decent discount) isn’t Hasbro’s first attempt at the character—they did him themselves a decade ago in this same costume! Is the second time for the Maker the charm…?

X-Men Marvel Legends Gambit Figure Review & Photos (Hasbro Caliban Series)

Marvel Legends Gambit Review

Hasbro has been doling out fan service like never before to X-Men collectors over the course of 2019, including new versions of some of the most requested characters such as Beast, Jubilee, Dani Moonstar and Professor X. But perhaps the singular most exciting 6” X-Men Legends action figure of the year for most fans was an updated version of the Ragin’ Cajun himself! Hasbro double-packed the new Marvel Legends Gambit so he’d be readily and affordably available to everyone—but is this long-awaited Jim Lee Gambit 90s figure up to snuff?

Thor Beta Ray Bill Legends Figure with Stormbreaker Hammer Hasbro

The clock is running out on 2019, and with the 2020 waves just around the corner, there are going to be a multitude of this year’s Marvel Legends action figures that I just never get around to reviewing. But one of those neglected figures won’t be Beta Ray Bill! By special request from MTN followers on social media, I dug out Thor’s hammer-brother and gave him a second look! Marvel Legends Beta Ray Bill is available discounted online now–should you be giving him another look as well?
