While the inaugural Marvel Legends X-Force series has several heavy-hitters like Mr. Sinister and Nightcrawler that I’ll be reviewing soon enough, today I want to focus on what’s almost certainly the most controversial ML figure this year. “Controversial” might sound a little dramatic for a toy, but there has been a lot of discussion of this action figure. You can get the new X-Force Marvel Legends Cannonball figure for about 20 bucks shipped right now—but should you?

From the moment that Hasbro placed the Marvel Legends Sasquatch Build-A-Figure on display in Canada close to two years ago, it was a foregone conclusion that we’d eventually see that mold reused in white for a Wendigo. And to the surprise of no one, that day has arrived and the not-so-mythical monster can now be assembled! You can build your own Marvel Legends Wendigo by buying all the figures in the X-Force Legends Series—but should you?

San Diego Comic Con 2019 has only been in the books for a few weeks, but Hasbro is already back at it again with more reveals of new Marvel Legends 2020 figures at the Unboxing Toy Convention in Mexico! We … Continue Reading →

And in 2020, Marvel Legends is taking no prisoners with high-profile new releases in the pipeline including Squirrel Girl, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Vulture, Strong Guy—and even a Marvel Legends X-Men Age of Apocalypse series!

Hasbro won’t hold their annual San Diego Comic Con Marvel Legends panel until this weekend, but they’ve come out on swinging on the first day of SDCC nonetheless! In advance of the inevitable slew of announcements coming up in a few days, Marvel Legends Endgame Wave 3 has now been revealed and is up for order—including Valkyrie, Heimdall, Iron Patriot, Vision and even a Bro (Fat) Thor Build-A-Figure!

When we made it all the way to the week of SDCC 2019 with every single Marvel Legends figure shown at Toy Fair up for PO except for the non-Fan Channel 80th Anniversary Series, it didn’t take a psychic to prophesy that they were being held onto for a grand Comic Con launch. And so it has come to pass: the Marvel Legends 80 Years series is now up for order online—including the Colossus vs. Juggeraut pack, the Amazon Exclusive Peggy Carter and Captain America set, and more!

Batted down the hatches, because San Diego Comic Con 2019–and the onslaught of new Marvel toys revealed there each year—are now just days away! But aside from a plethora of new action figures being announced, Hasbro also has three exclusive Marvel figures for the show. The SDCC 2019 Exclusive Marvel Legends Vintage Hulk figure is already pre-selling for $70-$80 on the aftermarket, but is he worth that inflation? Well, Hasbro sent over an early sample for me to review, so let’s bust this monster open and find out…

Hasbro has been blindsiding Marvel Legends collectors with surprises all summer long, and that continues this week with one of a different sort! The movie-inspired Captain America shield role-play prop replicas have been hot sellers for years now, and now Hasbro is ready to give us a Cap shield of a (slightly) different color: the Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Captain America Life-Size Shield Comic-based variant is now up for order! But… what’s the difference? Let’s take a look…

Hasbro brought the goods at New York Toy Fair 2019 in February, where they debuted dozens of new Marvel Legends figures. But believe it or not, in just the last under five months since then, almost every single one of those toys has gone up for order except the 80th Anniversary Series and a lone Riders set. But we can now cross the latter off the list—the Marvel Legends Ultimate Captain America & WWII Motorcycle set is now up for order!

Hasbro has been on a roll this year revisiting fan-favorite characters that haven’t been done since the Toybiz days, and that trend continues with today’s review. Marvel Legends Hydro-Man seemed like a shoe-in to be a quick sellout online with his unique design and appearance in Spider-Man Far From Home, but he’s stuck around longer at MSRP longer than I would have predicted. Are people overlooking a hidden gem with this Hydro-Man Legends figure, or has Hasbro misfired with this release?

Hasbro hit collectors up with a trio of unannounced and unexpected exclusive Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Figures this spring/summer, when they put the Marvel Legends Anti-Venom, Cowboy Logan and Big-Time Spider-Man Figures up for order! When POs opened, we had a single glam shot of each figure to make our pre-ordering decision based on. But if one image isn’t enough for you (and really, it shouldn’t be), Hasbro has now sent out several new hi-res images of all three figures!

Hasbro has been pretty on-the-ball with giving collectors pretty much every major Marvel Studios villain in 6” Marvel Legends form (sorry Malekith and Kaecillius—you don’t rate), so it wasn’t a big plot twist when they revealed we’d be getting a movie-based Marvel Legends Mysterio figure from Spider-Man Far From Home as well. Packed at just one-per-case, the new 2019 Marvel Legends Mysterio figure is already sold out on Amazon, still available for pre-order from other online retailers and likely to be a tough grab at retail. Is he worth all the fuss?

With today being the first day of the final push that will push Avengers Endgame beyond Avatar as the worldwide all-time box office champ, you might be expecting to see some new Endgame product today. But Hasbro has thrown us a mega-curveball with something totally off the wall: the first new premium role-play item in quite a while! Coming our way from the Future Fight game, the EXCLUSIVE Marvel Legends Punisher War Machine Helmet replica is now up for order!

Spider-Man Far From Home is now less than a week away from hitting theaters, so the time is right to discuss the final Marvel Cinematic Universe movie of Phase 3 (and 2019)! Rather than going the predictable route and kicking things off with Mysterio, instead I want to review a figure that’s gotten a bum rap up until now. The Marvel Legends Molten Man Build-A-Figure is selling surprisingly low on eBay as far as ML BAFs go, but is he high-quality enough to melt my cold heart in-hand?
