Even though cases of this summer’s Hasbro Marvel Legends X-Men Series of 6″ figures went up for order a couple weeks ago containing all eight figures in the wave and no duplicates, some collectors only want to pick-and-choose some of their favorite X-Men without having to buy a whole case. As such, folks have been asking me pretty much every single day when Amazon would be listing these figures for individual purchase. Well, I finally have the answer so many of you have been waiting for: the X-Men Legends 6″ Series is now up for order on Amazon with free shipping! Go get ’em!
The bad news is that while seven of the eight figures in the wave are available for order at their MSRP and with free shipping right now, the eighth and final figure in the wave has never been spotted up on Amazon yet at all. And that figure… is Deadpool (but of course).
So for those of you that Deadpool is a must-have for, don’t cancel those case pre-orders just yet–I have a strong hunch Deadpool will cost $80-$100 all by himself for a couple months after this wave is released. In the long run, you’d be much better off just getting your case at a guaranteed price of $20/figure.
UPDATE 3:27 PM EST: Deadpool has been added for sale online! Get him fast, as there’s no question he’s gonna be the first figure to sell out.
On the bright side, fans who don’t care about the new Marvel Legends Deadpool figure and who just want to build the Juggernaut BAF will be able to purchase just the seven figures in the series that come with Juggernaut pieces, as buying Deadpool is not necessary to complete the Juggernaut Build-A-Figure.
On the downside… pretty much everyone wants the new Deadpool Marvel Legends figure. And multiples of him, for many collectors. Alas.
The Amazon listings also give us our first look at giant-sized hi-res images of the packaged figures in this series, and they look fantastic. Even the characters like the new Marvel Legends Iceman that I haven’t heard a lot of talk about look impressive–I think this spiky Iceman might be my favorite toy of the character ever released, honestly.
Even X-Men Legends Kitty Pryde, the figure in this wave those people seem least interested in, looks a lot better now that we can see the final packaged photo of her. Kitty’s not exactly a beauty queen (and I think her loose belt is gonna drive me nuts), but she looks far better than I expected her to in final form. And hey–gotta love that Magneto helmet Onslaught head!
And I am totally infatuated with the cosmic energy effects pieces that the new Havok figure comes with. What other characters do you think would look good with these effects pieces (perhaps in different colors)?
The hi-res packaged images also give us a really good look at the details on Wolverine’s gloves with retracted claws and Juggernaut’s nasty yellowing teeth. Yummy!
I suspect that Havok and Kitty Pryde may end up being the “pegwarmers” of this series–but seriously, since they’re necessary to build the Juggernaut, I don’t know that anyone will stay available for very long from this set. I’d recommend you pre-order early if you want singles of any of these characters.
The Marvel Legends X-Men Infinite Series figures are now up for order on Amazon, and are scheduled to ship by August 1st 2016. Almost without fail the Marvel Legends figures that Amazon sells end up shipping out as soon as they receive stock, usually well before their targeted “release date”, but we can assume that 8/1/2016 is the latest date that this wave will ship out from Amazon to those who pre-order.
Which figures do you expect to see sell out first, Marvel collectors? Are you pre-ordering these individuals online now and hoping to score Deadpool later, or are you taking the safe route and sticking with a full case pre-order?

these figure hoarding resalers(i mean, collectors) ruin buying figures for those of us who just want to copp a figure to personally own or get one for their kidd to play with, almost just as badd as the Jordan Sneaker game. its okay, i will get my hands in that new Deadpool figure eventually(and at normal retail price) and you geeks will only het ur hands on urself lol
You realize that if you’re buying a figure for yourself to own, personally, you’re a collector. Right? Scalpers and collectors are not one in the same. Grow up, man. You’re insulting people anonymously on a toy news site.
Factoids man. Preach!
u are right all these scalpers are just going to get thier hands on the deadpool figures and leave none for us people who just want to own a deadpool
GUYS THEY HAVE DEADPOOL ON AMAZON. I GRABBED MINE !!
Oh the irritation of being an international collector – by the time I woke and found out about the listings, Wolverine, Rogue and Deadpool are gone (surprise, surprise). Pain in the butt as Amazon’s shipping is miles cheaper than anywhere else. Guess I’ll have to keep an eye on it and hope they pop up again (like Venom and Spider-Gwen did a couple of times) or just buy the case elsewhere and swallow the higher shipping fees.
Deadpool sold out! Wolverine sold out! Rogue sold out! If you didn’t get this post
You missed out! #Prime!
It’s pathetic how fast deadpool sold out. A matter of hours after it went up and it’s gone.
Because of this post I was able to pre-order two deadpools in addition to the case I’m buying. Thank you Marvel Toy News. Now I just need two more wolverines 😉
I Second this same pre-order with the Case from EE wish I would have ordered the Rogue too.
glad some folks feel me! i missed out on a deadpool as well(because i was working all day and cant sit on my phone or the computer instead). i would not want to OVER pay for a toy(err action figure) that will just decorate a shelf or sit in a box… pay normal retail no prob, hell, discount or on sale-even better! just not ‘over’.
Well, I guess I was one of the lucky ones, my pre order for my 3 cases shipped this afternoon. None of my singles shipped though, just the cases I ordered.
where did you order it from?
I should have no problem making my money back since I’m getting these so early, I plan on immediately selling off a case to cover the cost of at least 2.
yeah, where did you preorder it from
Oh, really….?
Where did you order your cases from?
LOL Wolverine and Deadpool sold out already. Scalpers are fking AMPed on this line! Speaking of scalpers, does anyone know a site that’s still selling Marvel Select Carnage reissue at normal price? Thanks!
I really just wanted Rogue! :'(
I found 2 Deadpool’s at My local Walgreen’s and a fresh case, even a wallgreens exclusive namor and Punisher. They are on sale too for $14.99 if you have a Walgreen’s card.. so it’s still possible to find one in the wild.
