Disney+ Marvel Legends Watcher Series Figures Up for Order! Loki Sylvie! What If? Uatu BAF!

Even before this year’s first wave of Disney+ Marvel Legends figures began hitting stores a couple months back, supposed retailer data leaks had already jumpstarted rumors that a second Marvel Legends Disney+ wave of figures, composed primarily of characters from the upcoming What If…? animated series, would be on the horizon for later in 2021. Those rumors intensified when Hasbro unveiled a Sylvie figure from Loki last month and couldn’t confirm when or where it would be released. But we don’t have to wait any longer to find out now–the Marvel Legends Watcher Series is now revealed and up for order, including Sylvie, Zombie Captain America, Captain Peggy Carter and more!

The case pack for this new series of Marvel Legends Disney+ Wave 2 figures is as follows:

  • (2) Zombie Captain America

  • (1) T’Challa Star-Lord
  • (1) Captain Carter
  • (1) Zombie Hunter Spidey
  • (1) Doctor Strange Supreme
  • (1) Heist Nebula

Marvel Legends Sylvie Figure

Frankly, I think Hasbro is nuts to shortpack the Loki Sylvie Marvel Legends figure. This is obviously a figure that fans are going to be going wild for, and I expect individual pre-orders for her to get wiped out very quickly.

She’s got a removable cape without having sleeves sculpted onto her arms permanently, which is going to be great for displaying her in multiple scenes from the series.

Marvel Legends Zombie Captain America What If Figure in Box

Marvel Legends Zombie Captain America would be a headliner deserving of two-per-case treatment in basically any other series because of his mass appeal with casual fans, but I really think two-per-case Marvel Legends Loki Sylvie was the way to go in this instance. Time will tell!

Marvel Legends T'Challa Star-Lord Figure Packaged with Watcher Head

T’Challa Star-Lord looks very animated to me, which has an awkward feel at the moment since I haven’t seen the animated cartoon that he features in. I want that Watcher head, so he’s a “Buy” regardless, but his wide-eyed expression really does kinda creep me out. The idea of Element Gun dual-wielding T’Challa is rather fun, though. Hopefully I warm up to the aesthetic of this toy.

Marvel Legends Heist Nebula What If Figure Packages

Heist Nebula is another thing that seems kind of ludicrous without seeing the source material. This seems like a strange choice, but maybe the episode this iteration of Nebula appears in is gonna be a mega-hit. The flowing blonde locks on Nebula is rather hard to reconcile and take seriously, though!

Marvel Legends Captain Carter What If Peggy Carter Figure Packaged

I am hyped about Marvel Legends Captain Carter! The fact that a character version created for my old addiction, Marvel Puzzle Quest, is hitting the big-time like this puts a humongous smile on my craggy old face. Captain Peggy Carter has photoreal deco, pinless double elbows, pinless double knees, ankle rockers, etc. She’s even been made a bit taller to have a height advantage on standard figures like What If Nebula! Sweet work here, Hasbro!

Marvel Legends Captain Peggy Carter with Shield Figure What if Hasbro

During the Hasbro Marvel Team’s livestream they mentioned they would love to make a life-size Captain Carter Shield. I would like to see that, but is it too deep of a cut for casual fans? What do you think, readers?

Marvel Legends What If Doctor Strange Supreme Figure Package

Doctor Strange Supreme gives us what appears to be an evil, dark arts using version of Dr. Strange. Is he responsible for the What If…? Zombie apocalypse…? We’ll have to wait and see. The unusual color palette and pale skin definitely make it obvious that this is a Stephen Strange who has been through the wringer, though.

Marvel Legends What If Zombie Hunter Spider-Man Figure Packaged

Finally, we’ve got Marvel Legends Zombie Hunter Spider-Man with Cape and Masked/Unmasked Heads. I don’t like the animated-style Peter Parker portrait here at all right now (maybe that’ll change after I see the show, but it looks freaky to me at the moment), and the unpainted webs on his costume make the figure as a whole look rather cheap to me.

What If Marvel Legends Spider-Man Sorcerer Supreme Zombie Hunter Figure

But–! I am psyched about the fact that this will be the first red-and-blue pin-less armed Spider-Man. “Look, Aunt May! No ugly red pins showing through on the inside blue of the arms!”

Marvel Legends Watcher Build-A-Figure Uatu BAF

Completing the series is the Marvel Legends Uatu Watcher Build-A-Figure in the What If…? style aesthetic. The Watcher BAF is 8.75″ tall to the top of his head, and is a character that neither Hasbro nor Toybiz have ever done before in ML form.

I legit thought that some fans were gonna riot when Hasbro announced that this would not be a classic comic book based Uatu figure, but with the character’s new notoriety in the What If? cartoon series, we can only dream of getting a proper comic-inspired Watcher Legends figure someday in the near future. And if not, hopefully Diamond Select Toys can crank up production and meet demand with their virtually perfect and insanely popular Marvel Select Watcher!

Marvel Legends 2022 Sylvie Loki Figure

The Marvel Legends What If?/Loki Watcher wave is now up for order, and expected to ship in early 2022. I can almost certainly say that the Loki Sylvie Legends figure is going to be the hottest star of this wave and the first to sell out, but after that it’s really anyone’s guess. Intuition would say Captain Peggy Carter and Zombie Captain America (even double-packed) will do well, but we’ll have to wait and see.

What are your thoughts on this first Marvel Legends 2022 wave, Marvel collectors? Are you feeling good about What If? and the chances of its toys being a mega-success, or are you skeptical? And what figures–if any–are you planning to pre-order from this lineup for your own collection?

Disney+ Marvel Legends Watcher Series Figures Up for Order! Loki Sylvie! What If? Uatu BAF! — 8 Comments

  1. I’m just lukewarm on this non-classic Watcher. So this a pass for me.

  2. I was thinking at first that I would get zero of these figures and just buy a Watcher BAF, but now that I get a closer look at his face… uuhhhh. I guess I won’t be getting any of these. Give my wallet a break for a brief moment in time.

  3. Unimpressed. The BAF is done better by Diamond Select.
    Hard pass on the whole wave.
    The only figure that’s (roughly) in my desire to own is Sylvie.

  4. About the only one I really want in Captain Carter. The others are pretty neat (really liking those T’Challa and Peter figures), but not sure if I’ll get them.

  5. If I’m able to get the Select Watcher, then this wave shrinks down for me to Sylvie, Zombie Cap, and Cap’n Carter (with the Hydra Stomper) as definite buys.

    Evil Dr. Strange and T’Challa-Lord might be pickups on sale. I have a feeling T’Challa will either be a peg-warmer or disappear instantaneously, what with this being Chadwick Boseman’s final performance.

    ZH Spidey is really weak, and I have no idea what the point of Heist Gamora is.

    But if I can’t snag a Select Watcher, then the whole wave it is! Thank goodness I’ve been skipping all the X-waves!

    FYI, if the T’Challa and Spidey unmasked heads took too animated for you, just swap with extra heads from other MCU Legends. An unmasked Holland might be hard to come by, but there were two or three unmasked Boseman heads in the various offerings that would probably look a lot better than the animated version.

  6. The T’Challa Star-Lord episode was actually really good, convinced me to eventually pick up his figure. It also really made me want a *SPOILERS AHEAD*

    Ravager Thanos figure.
