Phase 4 of the MCU doesn’t seem like it’s likely to go down as anybody’s favorite, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe will keep chugging along, with this week’s Ant-Man 3 (Quantumania) hitting theaters this week. And as almost always, a new Marvel movie means a new themed wave of Hasbro action figures! The Ant-Man Marvel Legends 2023 Cassie Lang series is now up for order, featuring movie Ant-Man and Wasp figures, movie Kang, some Z-List comic villains and more!

When Hasbro revealed the Black Panther Wakanda Forever Marvel Legends Attuma Series figures, there was clearly something glaringly absent: the titular character of the movie—the new Black Panther. Likely for secrecy reasons, a Shuri Black Panther was not available at launch. But though she was lagging weeks behind, the MCU female Black Panther ML figure still managed to arrive while the MCU movie was in theaters. Marvel Legends The Black Panther Shuri figure is available for purchase now—should you snag one? Here’s my review…

Hasbro didn’t hit us with a complete blitzkrieg of new Marvel Legends 2023 waves during this first month of the year, limiting themselves to just a singular new Build-A-Figure Series solicited (the X-Men Legends Ch’od BAF Series). But that doesn’t mean Hasbro wasn’t busy, as they instead announced a bunch of one-off releases (and put a few up for order), including Franklin & Valeria Richards, a new Advanced Suit PS5 Spider-Man, classic comics Yondu and more!

Diamond Select Toys has been on a bit of a hot streak over the last year with their Marvel Select figures series. Not every figure has been a winner (I’m looking at -you-, Miles Morales), but by and large there have been a lot more hits than misses. And this week, I’ll review a few of those hits, starting with the subject of today’s review! The Marvel Select Vision figure is classic as can be—is he a must-have for your classic Avengers lineup?

The heyday of busts may be over, but you wouldn’t know that from the newest round of Marvel Diamond Select Toys solicitations! Along with an 11” MODOK Marvel Gallery figure, the latest DST solicits include not one, not two, but -three- busts: Wolverine, Venom and Moon Knight! Should any of these new statues be bound for your collection?

Sometimes you’re lucky and every figure that comes with a piece of a Marvel Legends Build-A-Figure you want is a character you’d be buying a $25 toy of anyway. And sometimes… sometimes you’re forced to buy Agent Jimmy Woo. Such is the fate of collectors wanting to complete their Marvel Legends Khonshu BAF! Is it worth ordering the newly-released Disney+ Marvel Legends Jimmy Woo figure to do so…?

2023 has gotten off to a slow start for Marvel Legends collectors, but Hasbro is ready to get the ball rolling today with the first pre-order of the year—which happens to be one that X-Men fans have been waiting for!

Marvel Legends Zombie Captain America was a 2021 figure that was one of my surprise favorite Hasbro releases of that year. The level of uncharacteristic goriness in a Marvel Legends 6” toy felt fresh and new, and immediately left me wanting more Marvel Zombies figures. It took a bit over a year, but Cap finally has reanimated reinforcements to munch on brains with: is the recently-released Marvel Legends Zombie Scarlet Witch a worthy undead addition to your collection?

Phase 4 of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) hasn’t exactly been every fan’s cup of tea. But one facet of the “Phase” that I found absolutely captivating was the final episode of Loki Season 1. And now, the ultimate antagonist of that Disney+ (and sort of the next several years of Marvel movies) makes his chilling presence known in toy form: Marvel Legends He-Who-Remains is now beginning to ship out! Is this timeless villain worthy of joining your action figure collection?

Hasbro promised a strong showing of Heralds to coincide with the release of the mega-sized Haslab Galactus figure this year, and (as long as your favorite herald of Galactus isn’t named Air Walker or Golden Oldie) Hasbro has come through in spades with a new Terrax, the awesome Herald Thor and more—including the subject of today’s review! Retro Marvel Legends Firelord is a long, long overdue addition to the Marvel Legends pantheon—but after 20 years of waiting, is this figure all it could be?

I can count on one hand the number of times a resin statue company has managed to covertly sneak an unannounced all-new sculpture from a popular line all the way through production and successfully announce it via actual in-stock ordering, but that’s just the feat Diamond Select Toys has pulled off with their newest entry in the X-Men Animated Series busts lineup. To the shock of fans everywhere, the DST X-Men Animated Beast statue has been released is now available for order exclusively from ShopDisney. Is this surprise drop worth getting hyped about? Here’s my review…

At this point, Hasbro has updated many more Toybiz Marvel Legends figures with their own versions than there are Toybiz ML that haven’t been re-done. But with the subject of today’s review, Hasbro is going for broke by updating a Toybiz figure, doing a new version of a character we’ve seen many times, and also covering a never-before-done character! The Marvel Legends Howard the Duck figure (with Scott Lang head and Khonshu BAF torso) is now beginning to ship out early! Is this unorthodox sorta-three-pack a worthwhile pickup?

Hasbro is slowly but surely chipping away at the ranks of old Marvel Legends Build-A-Figures that need an updated re-release, and that trend continues today with the latest solo addition to the lineup: the exclusive Marvel Legends Ronan is now up for order! But is this Amazon Exclusive worth his deluxe price-point?

Hasbro has had very limited success keeping their future Marvel Legends 2023 plans under wraps, so by the time they got to their Hasbro Pulse livestream this week, pretty much everything they talked about was something fans knew about to some degree or other. But knowing is one thing, and being able to see products officially and buy them is another: the 2023 X-Men Marvel Legends 3-Packs and deluxe Marvel Legends Blob figure are now up for order!

Love it or hate it, there’s no question that the Disney+ She-Hulk Attorney at Law live-action series has brought Jennifer Walters into the public eye like never before. And such an occasion certainly necessitated an all-new toy to coincide: the Disney+ Marvel Legends She-Hulk figure is now available for order! Is this lawyer worth her rate? Here’s my review of the new Infinity Ultron Series figure…
