Deadpool Marvel Legends Wave 2 Photos! Sauron Series!

While a continuing Marvel Legends Deadpool Series on paper sounded like it could get really old, really fast, Hasbro has actually managed to make the Deadpool Legends highly desirable by sprinkling in characters that are more X-Men related than necessarily Deadpool related. The 2018 Marvel Legends Deadpool Wave 1 has been incredibly popular and hard to find in stores thus far, and Wave 2 looks to be just as popular with headliners like Bishop, Omega Red and a Sauron Build-A-Figure!

Marvel Legends 2018 Deadpool Wave 2 Sauron Series Figures

I had anticipated for well over a year before it was announced that we’d be getting a Deadpool Marvel Legends Wave in 2018. But what never occurred to me was that we might get MULTIPLE waves of Deadpool Legends, which is an announcement Hasbro blew collectors’ minds with in the weeks leading up to New York Toy Fair 2018.

While we still have a bit of a wait ahead of us before we can own these (especially since the Sasquatch Series has yet to hit stores in most areas), let’s take a look at what we have to look forward to…

Marvel Legends Sauron Series Display 2018 Toy FairThe incomplete lineup for the Marvel Legends Deadpool Wave 2 set is as follows:

  • Deadpool (X-Men Costume)
  • “Casual” Deadpool (Underwear & Fuzzy Slippers)
  • Bishop
  • Lady Deadpool
  • Omega Red
  • Sauron Build-A-Figure

Sharp-eyed collectors will note that only 6 total figures (including the Sauron BAF) were shown at Toy Fair, so it’s pretty much a given that Hasbro will be announcing 1-2 more additional characters for this set in a few months.

Marvel Legends 2018 Bishop Figure Toy FairWhile he doesn’t have a whole heck of a lot to do with Deadpool, I’m excited to get an updated, classic Bishop Marvel Legends figure. The ML Bishop that Toybiz released way, way back when is still a very nice figure, but I’m looking forward to having a Bishop that fits in with my Hasbro Jim Lee X-Men team a bit more seamlessly.

Deadpool Legends Bishop Figure 2018 HasbroBishop has had quite a few diverse looks over the years, but his original XSE costume that he’s captured in here is still my favorite.

Marvel Legends Sauron Build-A-Figure Toy FairThe last of the three new figures Hasbro debuted for the wave at the 2018 Toy Fair was the Build-A-Figure: Sauron. With the Lizard BAF hitting shelves earlier this year and Sauron finally arriving in a couple months, Hasbro must be on a real reptile kick lately!

Details on Marvel Legends Deadpool Sauron Build-A-FigureWhile he’s another character that doesn’t really have a whole heck of a lot to do with Deadpool, a Marvel Legends Sauron figure has been hugely demanded by collectors for years and I think this Sauron BAF looks awesome.

2018 Marvel Legends Omega Red Hasbro Six Inch Figure Toy FairThe remainder of the Marvel Legends Sauron Series figures displayed at Toy Fair were the three figures that Hasbro revealed in a press release at the end of January 2018: Lady Deadpool, “X-Men Costume” Deadpool and Omega Red.

Marvel Legends 2018 Omega Red with CoilsOmega Red is another character that Toybiz tackled a decade-plus ago, but I thought that version had room for improvement—and Hasbro has moved into that room and fulfilled the improvements. This Omega Red Legends figure looks great from every angle, and can pull off a tight action pose with his coils. Love it.

2018 Toy Fair X-Men Costume Deadpool Legends FigureWhat I love way less is the “X-Men Deadpool” figure. I understand the idea with sticking Wade in this original X-Men styled costume, but I just don’t find the joke especially funny here (whereas I thought Casual Deadpool was a riot).

X-Men Costume Deadpool Marvel Legends Action FigureAssuming he comes packed with a Sauron Build-A-Figure piece, I’ll be picking up this figure anyway—but it will far and away be my least favorite DP in either of this year’s waves.

Marvel Legends Lady Deadpool & Headpool Figures Toy FairFinally, we’ve got the character that I was astonished by the omission of in Wave 1: Marvel Legends Lady Deadpool.

Wanda Wilson is a character that holds little appeal for me, but her Marvel Select and Kotobukiya Bishoujo figures have both been huge hits, so I imagine her first 6” Legends figure should be a popular one as well.

The number of different Headpool figures that have been released in various sizes and by different companies at this point is shocking, but now Headpool will finally get the official ML version thousands of collectors have been waiting for. The style and detailing of this pack-in Headpool are both on-point and impressive.

2018 Toy Faur Marvel Legends Lady Deadpool SauronThe Marvel Legends Deadpool Sauron Series should be up for order this summer, with an expected release date in late summer/early fall 2018. I’ll post an update here once the rest of the wave is revealed, and send out pre-order links via the Marvel Toy News Facebook and Twitter Pages once POs open up.

How do you feel about the partially-revealed Deadpool Legends Wave 2 series, Marvel collectors? Who are you hoping fills the last spot(s) in the set, and will you buy every figure in this set regardless to build the spectacular Sauron Build-A-Figure?

Deadpool Marvel Legends Wave 2 Photos! Sauron Series! — 21 Comments

  1. The first wave was great but this wave (minus the really fun but pointless X-men Deadpool) is a huge improvement. The fact that we finally get Sauron just make it so much better. Also Sauron was part of the same Weapon X (Neverland) team as Deadpool (the one that the Exclusive 12′ Weapon X deadpool is based on)

  2. When does anyone think we’ll finally see wave 1 Deadpool and lizard wave Spider-Man hit stores in more of a mass release? Toys r us used to be the spot but that’s over now.

  3. X-Men Deadpool is a lazy kitbash/repaint, but I’ll accept him as a necessary evil if it was to compensate for the BAF, because good god, Sauron looks AWESOME.

  4. Also I believe it was rumored one of the remaining figures was All-New Wolverine. Anyone hear anything further about that?

  5. I’ll be picking up Bishop, Omega Red and maybe X-23 Wolverine at full price. I’ll either wait for Amazon Prime sales for the rest, or just pick up the other BAF parts via eBay or trade. Though that X-men Deadpool *could* be customized into TAS Morph. Hmmmm…

  6. I’m assuming all this Deadpool action is in response to the upcoming flick. I really hope they stop doing these. I can only get so many Deadpool figures. I’m nearly all full. X-men waves, more Avengers waves, Defenders, Champions, Spiderman maybe a little more… heck, the rest of Alpha Flight to go with Sasquatch. Not more Deadpool, please.

  7. Deadpool wave one is finally hitting all retailers now, in time for next week’s resets at walmart and target. This is due to their original 4/13 street date, which was lifted by hasbro.
    Wave 2 will include a Wolverine costume X23. That’s the only additional figure planned for the wave at this point.
    Lizard wave?? Who knows at this point? Stores were receiving Homecoming wave, but have now back tracked further to the Sandman wave???

  8. I work for Walgreens and for some odd reason..they only sent us half of the spider Man wave…

  9. I feel the X-men suit Deadpool will be a great body for a Morph custom, just need to find the right head… perhaps the alternate Shield Agent head without the communicator or maybe the unmasked Peter head, with some eye shadow colored in…

  10. Yeah, that Sauron is just about the coolest BAF I’ve seen for awhile. I can’t lie, I still love the Toybiz Bishop and Omega Red, though. I guess they do feel a bit out of scale with the Hasbro offerings, but I always thought they were chunky, great-feeling, figures.

  11. Bishop has been in my top 10 most wanted list for a while, so I’m STOKED for him.

    I’ve always had a soft spot for Sauron, so actually getting a figure of him, much less one that looks this AMAZING, is a dream come true. Building him for sure.

    Omega Red and Lady Deadpool look great, excited for them. A bit lukewarm on both of the Deadpool figures, would have preferred different DP variants tbh. The casual Deadpool is growing on me though.

    • As for additional figures, I hope the rumors are true and we get Laura as Wolverine.

      And if there’s another figure…I’d be cool with Maverick. Or a member of X-Force, like Cannonball. Maybe a Jim Lee Colossus? Or even someone from Deadpool’s supporting cast, like Shiklah, T-Ray, or Agent X.
