UPDATE: Yesterday this wave went up for sale by error, but it’s no accident today that not only are whole cases of the Marvel Legends SP//dr Series available–but single figures of Marvel Legends Doc Ock, Cloak/Dagger, Elektra and company are as well! They’re two bucks more per figure than buying by the case, but if you’re only looking to grab Doctor Octopus, Scarlet Spider, Daredevil or whoever for your collection, this is the time to do it!
ORIGINAL: It’s raining new Marvel Legends–Hallelujah! ….Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an overreaction, as Hasbro has been pummeling us with blockbuster wave after wave this year. Even so, it’s time to get out the ol’ credit card again, because the Marvel Legends Spider-Man 2018 Wave 2 assortment that contains some long-overdue characters is officially on the way: the Marvel Legends SP//dr Series including Doc Ock, Cloak & Dagger and more is now up for order!
- (2) Doc Ock [Doctor Octopus]
- (1) Scarlet Spider
- (1) House of M Spider-Man
- (1) Cloak
- (1) Dagger
- (1) Elektra
- (1) All-New All-Different Daredevil [Black Costume]
- Build-A-Figure: SP//dr
Yes, that’s right: Hasbro has heard the cries of collectors and has planned accordingly: the classic villain of the series–Marvel Legends Doctor Octopus–is the one figure in the wave that’s been double-packed at two-per-case! This time, I think a “Hallelujah!” really is appropriate!
Doc Ock isn’t the only classic character getting a much-needed Hasbro release in 6″ form in this wave: we’re also getting the first-ever 6″ scale Cloak and Dagger figures!
As we saw when these were revealed at New York Toy Fair 2018, Cloak’s body will be detachable so that you can have Dagger posed coming out of the cloak! This is super-cool and looks amazing with Dagger posed with her light knives effects piece. I predict Marvel Legends Cloak and Dagger are going to be very difficult to snag at retail.
A comic book-styled Elektra rounds out the classic characters in this series. I was actually kind of hoping for the All-New All-Different Elektra design in her Netflix-inspired costume, but there’s no denying that we’re due for a new classic ML Elektra, as it’s been many years since there’s been one in circulation!
And hey, you can’t have Elektra without a corresponding Daredevil, right? But while Elektra is all-retro, this Daredevil is all-modern in his All-New All-Different Marvel black costume. I’m a fan of the Charles Soule run on Daredevil where this costume is at the forefront, and I’m pleased to see it getting the action figure treatment before it becomes totally obsolete and disappears from comics (and merch) forever.
An updated Kaine Parker Scarlet Spider figure completes the series. He’s got his “The Other” powers on display with the spikes coming out of his wrists, and a “Dead No More” Kaine Parker unmasked head as pretty neat extras, although I’m honestly not sure I like this new Scarlet Spider as much as the 2012 one that’s been in the site header for the past half-decade plus. This is certainly a character there’s still plenty of love and demand for, however, so good for Hasbro including him in the wave for those who missed the original.
The Marvel Legends Spider-Man SP//DR Series is now up for pre-order with free shipping, and is scheduled to ship out in July 2018. Yes, that’s next month! How’s that for service? Thanks, Hasbro! There hasn’t been any announcement of solid cases of individual characters and I haven’t seen single figures up for sale yet anywhere, but I’ll update our Twitter and Facebook Pages with ordering information if singles do show up for sale.
What do you think of this year’s second (and likely final) series of Spider-Man Legends figures, Marvel collectors? Are you planning to pick up the whole wave, or just pick and choose characters you favor? And does the choice of super-obscure character SP//DR as the BAF help or hurt this wave, in your opinion?

First time ever this went on sale last Wednesday. I picked up the whole wave on Sunday and Otto is fantastic. We were also able to PO Multiple Man since Hasbro now sell single figures by the box.
Looks like someone jumped the gun,it’s actually not up for order anymore
Yes just went on the Entertaiment Earth site and it is not up for orser
It’s pulled down now until the weekend. Existing orders will all be honored (of course).
I grabbed the few I wanted, and have confirmation emails so whatever.
So I can purchase them individually? Excellent!! Ock and Elektra for me. just for the start anyway. damn phone bill hahaha!
Preorders for both Sp//dr and Venom wave up on Bigbadtoystore as of 6/13!
Same on Entertainment earth. Just pre ordered both sets. Thanks for the heads up!
The SP//Dr is back up for order
Just ordered my Doc Ock and Elektra TODAY!!!!
They`re not not on amazon.ca yet but found them on some Canadian sites. picked up Typhiod Mary, Elektra, Scarlet Spider, Doc Ock, and as a bonus Motorcycle Wolverine. All I want now are the Thing and Silver Surfer and that`ll be it for this year.
Has anyone here stateside seen Silver Surfer in the wild yet? Or By chance the Thing?
I’ve been thinking about those two figures every day. Must have!
Most def!!!
Glad that Doc Ock is double-packed in this case. Aside from that, will probably get Elektra and DD, maybe Cloak and Dagger. Not really interested in the BAF so I’m going to try and be more patient with this wave (except for Ock)
I was just wondering if either of those two had seen the light of day yet!
Picked up the entire set at local Nebraska Furniture Mart of all places tonight… great looking figures! Was surprised to see them out so early!
