Apocalypse may have stolen all the hype at the SDCC Diamond Select Toys booth last month, but the big A wasn’t the only Select figure that DST debuted at the con. After making a surprise appearance in San Diego that no one (except those who saw leaks) expected, the Marvel Select Beta Ray Bill figure is now up for order! Does this BRB offer anything past iterations have not?

Along with the wholly unexpected launch of Disney+ Marvel Legends Wave 4 last week, Hasbro announced one more item during that livestream event. And after a week of waiting, the time has come: the Amazon Exclusive Spider-Man & Villains 5-Pack is now up for order, featuring 6” figures of Razorback, Human Fly, Purple Symbiote Ultimate Spider-Man and more!

bro pulled off a whopper of a surprise this week when they totally unexpectedly revealed a never-before-teased wave of Marvel Legends figures: the Disney+ Marvel Legends Khonshu Series is now up for order! One of the more eclectic sets that we’ve ever seen, the wave will give fans more Marvel Zombies, an animated Howard the Duck (with disembodied head Scott Lang!), an intimidating skull-headed Khonshu Build-A-Figure and more!

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?

Hasbro may not have revealed quite as many never-before-seen Marvel Legends figures as some fans expected at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 last month, but they did show a rather diverse variety of characters. And two of those characters are “team” completing symbiotes that haven’t gotten new figures in 20+ years—until now! We won’t have to go out hunting for Riot and Agony to complete the ML Life Foundation quintet—the Amazon Exclusive Venom, Riot and Agony 3-Pack is now up for order!

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…

As a consequence of the SDCC 2022 Hasbro Marvel panel occurring prior to Marvel Studios debuting the Black Panther Wakanda Forever trailer, Hasbro wasn’t able to unveil any of the movie figures during their panel. But that didn’t stop Hasbro from premiering the wave later on at San Diego Comic-Con—and now the entire Black panther Marvel Legends Wakanda Forever wave is up for order! Let’s take a look at the Attuma Series…

Hasbro didn’t exactly come out with guns blazing and the massive tidal wave of all-new Marvel Legends figure reveals at SDCC 2022 that many fans were hoping for, but they -did- announce a number of pretty great items—including refreshed versions of two of the more sought-after 6” ML of the past half-decade: exclusive Retro X-Men Marvel Legends Beast and Retro Spider-Man Marvel Legends Scorpion figures are now up for order!

Diamond Select Toys has produced quite a few iconic villains in their Marvel Select figures series over the past two decades-ish, but perhaps the one fans have been demanding is En Sabah Nur himself. But at SDCC 2022 this week, DST finally fully revealed the Big A—and more! Marvel Select Apocalypse, Gallery Doc Ock PVC, movie Iron Man and Animated Phoenix Busts are all up for order now!

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?

Ever since word leaked out that all three iconic Spider-Man actors would be appearing in last year’s Spider-Man No Way Home movie, collectors have been waiting with bated breath for modern Marvel Legends figures of the movie Spidey trio. And today’s finally the day fans can lock in their own Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland 3-Pack: the Marvel Legends No Way Home Spider-Man 3-Pack is up for pre-order today!

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…
