Posted on by August 21, 2018
Close-Up of 90s X-Men Wolverine Legends Figure

Continuing along in my week of reviews completing the 2018 Marvel Legends X-Men Apocalypse series, we come to the fifth 6” Wolverine figure that Hasbro has released in the last two years. While some people might be burning out on ol’ Logan just a hair at this point, I imagine this latest version is one that very few X-Men fans will be able to pass up: the 2018 Tiger Stripe Wolverine X-Men Legends figure is now available! Is this the definitive version of this costumed Wolverine that fans have been waiting for?

We’re in the middle of another Marvel toy news drought, which makes this weekend the ideal time to knock out the final entries in my series of 2018 X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series reviews. And at this point, it’s time to talk about the figure that seemed like the inevitable shelf-warmer from the moment it was released. X-Men Legends Gladiator seemed destined to be a slow-selling repaint—is there more to him than meets the eye?

Marvel Legends Multiple Man Review X-Men Apocalypse Series

Review Marvel Legends Madrox Multiple Man Six Inch Figure

While the building of the 1990s X-Men roster has been pretty blatant throughout the first three series of X-Men Legends, what many fans may not have noticed is that, slowly but surely, we’ve been getting one character from Peter David’s X-Factor per wave as well. With Havok and Polaris out of the way, I think Hasbro made the right choice for the Apocalypse Series entry. Full cases of Madrox are on the way for army-building ease: is the Marvel Legends Multiple Man worth army-building?

2018 Marvel Legends X-Men Magneto Action Figure Review

It’s a quiet day on the news front, which makes it the perfect time to dip back into my big bag of unreviewed action figures. So today, I’m continuing onward with a look at another figure in the X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series. The X-Men Marvel Legends Magneto figure was one of the most-anticipated figures when he was first announced, but does he live up to expectations now that he’s been released and is available for ordering? Here’s my ML Magneto review…

2018 Marvel Legends Sabertooth Hasbro 6" Figure Choking Wolverine

While we’ve gotten a plethora of 6” Marvel Legends Wolverine Figures over the years, fans who’ve started collecting Marvel Legends figures over the last decade may be surprised that there hasn’t been an iconic version of Sabertooth released in all that time. In fact, it’s been 15 years since the Jim Lee Sabertooth had a new action figure released! But those waiting for an upgrade to the old Toybiz Sabertooth need not wait any longer—the X-Men Marvel Legends Sabertooth figure is now available!

2019 Marvel Legends Figures Kree Sentry Living Laser Night Hawk

I had a little bit of an ulterior motive for talking about the 2019 Marvel Legends Hercules & Genis Captain Marvel Figures this morning. And that motive was: I didn’t want to be too far behind when Hasbro revealed more new Marvel Legends 2019 Figures tonight! Because for the first time ever, Hasbro unveiled upcoming Marvel Legends figures at the Unboxing Toy Convention in Mexico: 6” Living Laser, Nighthawk and the Kree Sentry Build-A-Figure!

2019 Marvel Legends Captain Marvel Genis & Hercules Figures!

Marvel Legends 2019 Hercules and Genis Captain Marvel Figures

Before closing the book on SDCC 2018 Marvel Legends coverage, there’s two more new figures that I need to talk about that didn’t logically fit with any of the other waves that have been discussed. Neither is a character that hasn’t been covered before by ML in some form, but I think fans will be in agreement that these are better renditions of these characters. Coming our way in the Avengers & Captain Marvel Marvel Legends waves next year: Hercules & Genis-Vell!

Demand is high and supply at retail still isn’t plentiful, but the X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series is slowly but surely starting to permeate retail stores. I reviewed the Apocalypse Build-A-Figure last month before I got sidetracked with SDCC 2018, but now it’s back to business and time to play catch-up. And what better place to start than with one of the X-Men’s two most legendary leaders: the Mistress of the Elements herself—X-Men Marvel Legends Storm!

Marvel Legends 2019 X-Men Reveals at SDCC 2018

The San Diego Comic-Con 2018 Marvel Legends panel has come and gone, and while I’ve actually seen some collectors complaining there weren’t enough reveals, I think there’s plenty of new things to pine away for.

SDCC 2018: Marvel Legends Black Panther Wave 2 Figures! Klaue! T’Chaka!

Posted on by July 19, 2018
Black Panther Marvel Legends Klaue Figure

When Hot Toys made a T’Chaka Black Panther sixth scale figure one of their summer convention exclusives, it seemed like a pretty audacious and out-of-left-field pick. I mean, c’mon: half of collectors didn’t even remember T’Chaka wearing that costume in the movie, right…? Well, turns out maybe that pick wasn’t as crazy as it seemed–because Hasbro is following suit! As part of their SDCC 2018 festivities, Hasbro has announced Marvel Legends Black Panther Wave 2–including Ulysses Klaue, King T’Chaka and more!
