We’re in a relative “calm before the storm” as far as Marvel Legends pre-orders go while we await news from NYCC 2026 next month, so I’m taking the opportunity to chip away at my huge backlog of new Marvel Legends figures I have to review. Next up, I’m reviewing half of one of my favorite releases from the year. If you want the new Marvel Legends Thing figure, you’re getting Future Foundation Invisible Woman as well—should you invest in this FF two-pack? Spoilers: You should.
I think that’s pretty smart, as it assures we get the full Future Foundation and makes tooling investments feel more safe. And honestly, while few fans will be buying this set particularly for Sue, Hasbro is giving us one of the most outstanding figures of the Invisible Woman that we’ve ever seen.
I’ve loved the black and white Future Foundation costumes since they debuted in Hickman’s Fantastic Four era in 2010, and they’re just as striking and cool now as they were over a decade and a half ago.
The deco is excellent on this Invisible Woman; bad paint lining can ruin an otherwise good figure, but that’s thankfully not the case here. All the lines and details are masterfully applied.
Sue comes with two head sculpts: a more common closed-mouth, serious looking one and a teethy, smiling portrait. I think it’s nice to get a more mirthful option for Sue Storm for a change, but the smiling visage just doesn’t “feel” like the Invisible Woman I envision in my head. It’s not a bad option, per se, but I’m having a tough time modifying my mindset for it to feel natural.
The “serious” head has the quiet look of maturity and determination I’m more comfortable with for Susan Storm. I think this head will be the “safe” display pick for most folks, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
The articulation set on Marvel Legends Future Foundation Invisible Woman is very strong, but not perfect. I think Hasbro could have very easily integrated boot cuts and a swivel waist without disrupting the aesthetic here.
The complete articulation scheme is:
—Ball-jointed head, hips and upper torso
—Butterfly Swivel Ball-swivel Shoulders
—Double-hinged pin-less knees and elbows
—Hinged Upper Body
—Swivel Biceps and Thighs
—Swivel-Hinge Wrists
—Hinged Feet with Ankle Rockers
Sue’s long hair inhibits her head articulation somewhat, but her head can still move side to side and look downward. It’s really sort of unavoidable for the long hair to get in the way, so I can’t condemn it.
Along with the alternate head, Invisible Woman gets another 5 accessories: swap-out fists, an attachable force field and two clip-together force bubbles that go over Sue’s wrists. There’s zero “half-visible” parts, which I always think are fun, but the assortment is good even without them.
The “invisible force field” accessory was a hit with me in 2020, and I like this hazier version of it now. It’s a great, fun accessory that helps to illustrate powers that aren’t the easiest to portray in toy form.
The invisible force bubbles for Sue’s hands I am less of a fan of. They’re a little finicky to snap together over her wrists, and it’s not as naturally obvious what they are exactly. I still like having them, but they’re not the coolest.
This Invisible Woman comes as half of a $59.99 two-pack with the Future Foundation Thing figure. The Thing is large enough to qualify as a “deluxe” to me, so Sue is basically an MSRP or less figure n this pack. That’s a good value and I won’t complain about it.
Overall: This is one of those reviews where I kind of wavered back and forth of the final grade. I don’t love the smiling face or the missing articulation points on Future Foundation Invisible Woman, but everything else here is just so, so good. Ultimately, this is easily my new favorite Sue Storm Legends figure. Recommended for anyone that’s open to the non-traditional “Future Foundation” costume that she’s sporting.
