Score one more for the leaked computer listings! In late 2013, a huge list of 2014 Hasbro products leaked out online. The list included a full rundown of Guardians of the Galaxy toys, but we weren’t sure if it was totally accurate–until today at New York Toy Fair 2014!
The Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Legends Nova and Cosmic Iron Man figures have now been revealed!

The Hasbro portion of the New York Toy Fair 2014 begins in just two days, but apparently Hasbro couldn’t stand to keep some of their main event offerings under wraps for even one minute longer!
They’ll be on display in the Hasbro showroom at the 2014 Toy Fair this weekend, but we now have our very first look at most of the 6″ Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy figures, including the 7″ Marvel Legends Groot Build-A-Figure!

Collecting the Spider-Man Marvel Legends 2014 Infinite Series has been an arduous undertaking. After hitting dozens of stores last month and failing to find even a single figure from Wave 1 (no, not even the Superior Spider-Man figures), I gave up and bought a set online. So the last thing I expected was to wander into a random, heavy-traffic Target on a Sunday afternoon and see one of the variant figures sitting on the front of the pegs staring at me. It was an unlikely occurrence, but I sure am glad I snagged this Spider-Man Marvel Legends Boomerang figure…

From X-Men to Avengers to All-New X-Factor, you can barely open a Marvel comic lately without tripping over a horde of AIM Troopers. Seriously–it’s like there’s an A.I.M. Trooper infestation going on. Thus, Hasbro has managed to pick the ideal time to take advantage of this renewed prominence of AIM by releasing the first-ever Marvel Legends AIM Trooper figure!
And while the Marvel Legends A.I.M. Soldiers are a total pain to find in stores, they’re well worth the trouble to army-build…

Before I even got my set of Spider-Man Marvel Legends Infinite Series figures in the mail, I already had preconceived notions of which were going to be the figures I adored and which would be the ones that I liked… less. The 2014 Marvel Legends Ultimate Beetle figure fit into the latter category. To my surprise, though, I was so impressed with the Ultimate Beetle figure, I decided to lead off my Marvel Legends 2014 Spider-Man reviews with him…

There was never really any doubt that the Captain America The Winter Soldier Marvel Legends figures would be released (Hasbro is legally obligated to complete the Mandroid Build-A-Figure), but it sure is nice to finally get confirmation of exactly when movie figures like Black Widow and The Winter Soldier will be joining our collections!
The Marvel Legends Captain America The Winter Soldier Wave 2 figures are now up for order, and hey–the case ratios aren’t terrific, but they aren’t terrible either…

Once I saw that the Hong Kong scrappers had listed the Amazing Spider-Man 2 Marvel Legends variants online earlier this month, I was 100% certain that (for a change) these Marvel Legends variant swap figures would actually be released.
And lo and behold, they actually are coming–Spider-Man Legends Wave 2 is now up for pre-order! Unfortunately, the case ratios for Amazing Spider-Man Marvel Legends Series 2 are every bit as bad as we could have imagined…

I woke up this morning and immediately got bombarded with messages from people griping about Toys R Us raising the price of their exclusive Marvel Legends All-New X-Men set. I went to the website and saw that, sure enough, Toys R Us has raised the price on the set to $139.99. Then I rolled my eyes and laughed. But not a good kind of laugh…

Earlier this month we saw leaked photos of an unconfirmed Marvel Legends All-New X-Men set turn up on the internet. At the time, it was speculated that those figures would be the SDCC 2014 Marvel Legends exclusive set. Turns out that rumor was half-right: the All-New X-Men Marvel Legends set is an exclusive, but not to San Diego Comic-Con 2014! Coming 2/1/2014 to Toys R Us Stores: the Marvel Legends All-New X-Men figures box set!

I started off my Captain America Marvel Legends 2014 reviews last week with Baron Zemo, Captain America’s greatest enemy (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it). But Zemo isn’t the only major Captain America villain in this assortment–Cap’s other greatest enemy also got a brand-new Marvel Legends figure to kick off the new year. But while Red Skull is about as popular and recognizable as Captain America villains come, the Captain America Marvel Legends Red Skull figure definitely has its share of shortcomings…

As I’ve said a couple times before, I’m a total Baron Zemo fanboy. So when I came face-to-face with a fresh case of Captain America Marvel Legends 2014 figures at my local Toys R Us, it wasn’t the Marvel Legends AIM Trooper or Hydra Soldier I reached for first–it was Zemo. (I reached out and grabbed the army-builders a half-second later.) And now that it’s come time to start reviewing the 2014 Marvel Legends figures, I’ll begin with Baron Zemo once again…

Prepare yourselves well for what is a true shocker, Marvel collectors. The end times may truly be upon us.
The portent of this impending doom…? Hasbro is actually going to be releasing some of their notorious-for-never-coming-out Marvel Legends variant figures. Ebay listings have turned up for the Spider-Man Marvel Legends Boomerang, Toxin and Spider-Girl figures, confirming that these figures are in fact currently in production and should be released in a few months time…

In what has to be one of the most bizarrely early possible reveals in ages, a leaked image has started making the rounds online of what some believe to be the Hasbro Marvel Legends 2014 SDCC exclusive set. Yes, that San Diego Comic Con 2014–the one that’s more than six months out from now. It seems way too early for a reveal of this nature, but here’s our first look at the alleged SDCC 2014 Marvel Legends Original X-Men boxset! Whether it’s legit or not remains to be seem…

The K-Mart website is one of my favorite sources for obtaining early images of new LEGO sets for my LEGO blog, so them posting new toy photos early (and often before they’re allowed to do so) is nothing new. What is a bit of a switch is that this time, they’ve gone ahead and posted the first official packaged images of the 2014 Captain America: The Winter Soldier Marvel Legends movie figures!
We saw all three figures previously at SDCC 2013, but Hasbro has updated the figures and added a few unexpected surprises…

With the Captain America Marvel Legends 2014 Infinite Series scheduled to hit stores next month, I figured it was only a matter of time until the Hong Kong scrappers inevitably got some of the figures to shill online early. I wasn’t disappointed.
Thanks to a series of online ebay auctions, we can now get out first look at production samples of the Captain America Marvel Legends Infinite Series WWII Captain America and the rest of the first wave…
