Love it or hate it, there’s no question that the Disney+ She-Hulk Attorney at Law live-action series has brought Jennifer Walters into the public eye like never before. And such an occasion certainly necessitated an all-new toy to coincide: the Disney+ Marvel Legends She-Hulk figure is now available for order! Is this lawyer worth her rate? Here’s my review of the new Infinity Ultron Series figure…

I have read hundreds of Thor comic books in my life, but even so, my jaw absolutely dropped when I saw something I never imagined—Thor becoming Galactus’s herald, at the start of Donny Cates’ run. And now, Hasbro is capturing this awe-inspiring plotline in plastic form: the Marvel Legends Herald of Galactus Thor figure is now available! Do you need your own Herald of Thunder 6” figure? Here’s my review…

Walgreens has been getting a lot of fan-demanded Marvel Legends exclusives lately, including Quasar, Nova and Baron Zemo. But their most recent release was a bit of a surprise when announced, as it was a character there didn’t seem to be much hype to see redone right away. Even so, the new Walgreens Exclusive Sentry Marvel Legends figure is now in-stock for ordering online! Time for me to do a review with the power of a million exploding suns…

Although it’s only appeared a handful of times in Marvel comic books, Spider-Man’s temporary spare Fantastic Four costume disguise has gone on to be the stuff of legends, appearing regularly in video games and even occasionally in toy form. The 3.75” Marvel Universe Bag-Man figure was a hard-to-get and coveted figure for ages, but now Hasbro is taking Spidey’s oddest look to the next level with the Target exclusive 6” Marvel Legends Bombastic Bag-Man figure! Does this comedic Spidey toy delight? Here’s my review…

My first foray into the new era of plastic-free packaged Marvel Legends figures was a bit of a disappointment, as I thought the Spider-Man Homecoming Marvel Legends Peter Parker & Ned Leeds two-pack was a mite mediocre overall. But I had high hopes for today’s review of a costume that’s somehow never been done officially in the long-running series: the comic-based Marvel Legends Iron Spider figure has swung in! Is it worth its lofty deluxe price-point…?

Much to the dismay of a vocal contingent of fans and collectors, the plastic-free packaging era of Hasbro Marvel Legends action figures has arrived. All of my toy packaging goes straight to the recycling bin, so I didn’t really expect the switch to bother me much. But now that I have the new Spider-Man Homecoming Marvel Legends Peter Parker and Ned Leeds 2-Pack in-hand, I recognize the shortcomings of these environmentally friendly boxes. Here’s my review of Peter & Ned…

Funko Marvel Collector Corps boxes have managed to live on for far longer than I ever, ever expected—so much so that I was only vaguely aware Amazon was still distributing them at all. But I’m a sucker for Baby Groot, which is why I must have ordered two (and forgot about them until they showed up on my doorstep) of the Funko Marvel I Am Groot Collector Corps box. Was this MCC box worth returning for? Here’s my unboxing and review…

There have historically been few—if any—full-on members of the main X-Men team that have done less of note than poor Maggott. In fact, Toybiz even revealed a prototype Maggott X-Men action figure in the mid 90s and then quietly scrapped plans to ever produce a toy of the character at all. But two and a half decades later, ol’ Japheth’s time has finally come—is the X-Men Marvel Legends Maggott figure the definitive one-and-done version of the character it needs to be?

I seriously was not crying out for a new 6” figure of Alex Summers right now when we just got two in the last half-decade, but it appears there was some demand left to be filled, and Hasbro decided to do so while filling out the Bonebreaker Series. The 2022 Marvel Legends Havok figure shipping now is the most classic comics inspired Havok that we’ve seen so far from Hasbro—is he also the best? Here’s my review…

X-Men Marvel Legends 2022 has been a little bit of a disappointment to me so far, as I felt like Siryn, Darwin and Sabretooth all missed the mark and earned average or below review scores. Hopefully today’s review subject will break that trend, though, as it’s another first-time-ever release. He’s the sometimes-Emperor of the Shi’ar and the third (or maybe fourth now) summers Brother: Marvel Legends Vulcan is now available! Is this Hasbro 6” figure as much of a powerhouse as the Omega-level mutant it represents?

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…

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…
