Marvel Legends Infinity War Thor & Groot Pack Up for Order Online!

Posted on by May 4, 2018

UPDATE 5/4/2018: For those who have resisted the urge to pay scalper prices and haven’t found it yet at retail, salvation is now in sight and your Marvel Legends Infinity War collection can be complete: the Exclusive Marvel Legends Teen Groot, Thor and Rocket Raccoon three-pack is now up for order online!

ORIGINAL 3/1/2018: Even though the upcoming Avengers Infinity War movie will contain the long-awaited meeting of the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy, the GOTG have been sadly absent from the first two waves of Marvel Legends Infinity War figures that Hasbro has announced. But fear not—Hasbro still had some aces up its sleeve! This morning, Hasbro announced three new exclusive Avengers 3 sets, including this Marvel Legends Teen Groot, Rocket Raccoon and Thor with Eyepatch 3-pack!

Infinity War Marvel Legends Toys R Us 3 Pack Groot Thor Rocket

At New York Toy Fair 2018, Hasbro held the final pack from the 10 Years of Marvel Studios Marvel Legends sets—the Infinity War based one—in reserve. We all assumed that that was because it was one of the three heavily rumored multipacks that listings had been found for in store databases.

But now that we’ve seen them, it turns out that NONE of those packs are from the Marvel Studios Legends series—but all of them are pretty awesome nonetheless!

Marvel Legends Infinity War Thor with Eyepatch Teen Groot Rocket Raccoon 3-PackThe headliner—at least for me—is the Toys R Us exclusive 3-pack of Teen Groot, Eyepatch Thor and Rocket Raccoon. Many collectors have been wanting their own “Pirate” Thor after the events of Ragnarok, and this figure fits the bill nicely. Even so, that figure is overshadowed by the great-looking 100% newly-tooled Teen Groot Marvel Legends figure in this set. Love it!

Marvel Legends Avengers Infinity War Scarlet Witch Vision Toys R Us Exclusive SetThe second exclusive announced today is one that we got our first look at last month when some overseas Toys R Us stores put it up for sale early: the Infinity War Legends Vision and Scarlet Witch two-pack.

We’ve seen in-hand photos of the actual figures already from collectors who’ve already purchased this set, but still—this looks fantastic. The Scarlet Witch figure’s repainted hair is an improvement, and Vision just looks incredible in hi-res. Good job, Hasbro.

Marvel Legends Infinity War Falcon Bucky Figures Target ExclusiveLast but not least, it’s the 6” Marvel Legends Infinity War Winter Soldier and Falcon two-pack! This is sort of a weird pack in that for Civil War, these two characters were single-packed exclusives to Wal-Mart. And now for Infinity War, they’ll be a two-pack of exclusives to Target.

No packaged photos of this set were sent out, which I think is likely because of the “rumored” Stan Lee Build-A-Figure that this set may contain pieces of. Looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer for that announcement!

Marvel Legends Infinity War Bucky Figure Winter SoldierBucky’s head sculpt doesn’t look amazing in the official photo, but the figure Sebastian Stan revealed at a charity event this week looked much better in-hand, so I’m hoping the production version will look more similar to the one Sebastian Stan had than the one in the hi-res photos.

Marvel Legends Infinity War Vision and Scarlet Witch 6 Inch FiguresThe Marvel Legends Thor/Rocket Raccoon/Groot three-pack is a Toys R Us exclusive with an on-shelf date of 6/1/2018 and a $49.99 MSRP. Winter Soldier/Falcon is a $39.99 Target exclusive for 6/1/2018. But we won’t have long to wait for Vision and Scarlet Witch–the $39.99 Toys R Us exclusive set has a release date of 3/3/2018–this Saturday along with the rest of the Infinity War toys!

With just two days until the launch date for Avengers Infinity War merch, we now know 7 more figures in the lineup thanks to these exclusives being announced! Will any of these exclusive packs be joining your collection this spring/summer, Marvel collectors, or are you sticking to the mass releases (or just skipping the Infinity War toys altogether)?

    • Not as far as we’ve heard. We’re getting the kid-centric 5”/6” figures line instead, as far as I know.

    • At Toy Fair they mentioned they had no plans for any movie figures in that scale.

      • The only 3.75″ scale figs that will release are the Deadpool “Rainbow” pack.

        • And the GamerVerse trio of three-packs with Ryu, Mr. Negative, and a couple others.

          • Ok. Thanks guys. I’m a hard core 3.75″ collector and I don’t really dabble in the larger scale.

  3. Tru exclusive? Great….I’m still looking for the hydra pack. I had to pay a scalper for the phoenix cyclops pack. Tru where I live is hopeless.

  4. It’s sad they are completely disregarding us 3.75″ collectors now days. I don’t have the money to start a brand new scale and or the space for the 6″ line.

  5. I’m also bummed about the demise of the 3.75 inch line. I mostly collect the smaller scale because of space and cost.

  6. i don’t know why Marvel isn’t listening to the fans about this , most of us began collecting the 3.75 inch scale action figures… i haven’t and WILL not buy a single one of those 6 inch figures , they’re way to pricy anyway !

  8. But $13.00 is ok for a 4in fig. with no accessories or a build a piece? Personally I think $16 or $17 would be fair for the 6in figs. We’re already being prepped to pay $25 for these figs. anyway.

  9. And I haven’t seen that Thor,Groot & Rocket exclusive around this way yet,most of it was supposed to be released on the 3rd and thought that was too

  10. What will happen to all these TRU exclusives now that TRU announced that they will be closing?

    • I’ve also been curious about this. I bought the scarlet witch vision 2 pack but the rest of them and Ronan won’t be out until summer unless I’m mistaken. I’ve heard their online store will still remain open.

      • Ronan isn’t a Toys R Us exclusive—he’s shared between EE, BBTS and GameStop. The Infinity War GRocket & Thor 3-Pack has already been produced, so that should hit the online store if nothing else, as should Vision/Scarlet Witch.

        Where that Pepper Potts & Mandarin set would go if no TRU stores remain open, however, is anybody’s guess…

        • I was told that the online store will remain open… but even if that’s true, supply may not meet demand.

          • Well I just got confirmation of my Pepper/Iron Man/Mandarin set order being cancelled, so I don’t like the odds of the online presence remaining…

    • We don’t know for sure they’re all closing. MGA Entertainment already put in a bid for all of the Canadian stores and is looking at purchasing 200-400 of the US stores to continue to run as Toys R Us. They’re only closing if no buyer steps forward. News outlets don’t make that a headline, though, as it doesn’t make for as sexy clickbait.

  11. So I happened to put my Vision and Scarlet Witch next to Hela, and the sizing is so different that they don’t even look like they’re from the same line. Vision is a good inch shorter than Hela and proportions are smaller as well. Head, feet etc.. is this intentional?

    • Very late reply, but Hela is Asgardian. Their race is on the whole taller than most of humanity

  14. I emailed Hasbro… they said that they couldn’t tell me when it would be out. Keep emailing them and bugging them I guess
