Although we’re only a few weeks removed from San Diego Comic Con 2017, it’s already time to gear up for the next big convention featuring Marvel Legends news and exclusives! No, it’s not New York Comic-Con 2017 (that’s in two months!), it’s the first-ever HasCon Fanmily (no, that’s not a type-o) event! And to get us psyched up, today Hasbro shared hi-res loose and packaged images of the HasCon Exclusive Marvel Legends X-Force Deadpool figure!

This week has been as slow as Krakoa (the Island That Walks Like A Man) for Marvel toy news, so let’s dig in with another review from the SDCC 2017 Exclusive Marvel Legends Battle for Asgard set that’s going up for order next week on Hasbro Toy Shop! While the Thor-based set is filled almost entirely with new characters, it does contain one major variant of the titular character: currently selling for $40 and up online, it’s the modern Unworthy Thor himself, Marvel Legends Odinson!

From Ghost to Satanna to Dreadknight, the annual SDCC Marvel Legends box sets have given us some pretty obscure characters for the first time in 6″ form over the years. But this year’s Battle for Asgard set takes the proverbial cake with a character who’s not exactly a household name–but who just might be one of the best Hasbro figures in one of these con exclusive sets ever! He’s already selling for 40-50 bucks on the aftermarket because he’s just so cool: Marvel Legends Bor!

Have you ever dreamed of owning a humongous, $675 quarter-scale statue of a female alternate dimension Deadpool who only appears in a couple dozen comics, slicing a bullet in half in midair and kicking a decapitated zombie head with dynamite in its mouth? If so (wait, does that person actually exist?!), Sideshow Collectibles has just the thing for you: the Sideshow EXCLUSIVE Lady Deadpool Premium Format Figure is now up for order!

Collectors who are hardcore about keeping their Diamond Select Toys Marvel Gallery statues line complete are in for a rough time this year, as DST has been releasing quite a few exclusives to keep us on our toes (including four SDCC Exclusive statues). And now, another pair have landed: Toys R Us Exclusive Marvel Gallery Deadpool Ice Edition and Retro Iron Man!

For the first time ever, Hasbro opted to go with a Marvel Legends 12″ figure instead of a 3.75″ set as their second SDCC 2017 Marvel Legends exclusive. And moreover, this limited exclusive isn’t some mere variant costume of a previously released character–it’s an all-new figure in by far the more gorgeous packaging ever for one of these sixth scale figures! The Marvel Legends 12″ Daredevil figure is selling online for slightly above his MSRP, and it’s easy to see why: this figure is excellent…

I kicked off my SDCC 2017 Exclusives reviews yesterday with my Marvel Legends Ulik review, but Hasbro wasn’t the only company with exclusive Marvel 6″ figures at San Diego Comic-Con! Mezco brought along two exclusives of their own, and one of them is the first release in a trio of Deadpools! The sold out SDCC 2017 ONE:12 Collective X-Men Deadpool figure is selling for $140+ online now–but does this figure really warrant such a hefty investment…?

San Diego Comic Con 2017 has come and gone, but the memories–and exclusives released at the show–will last forever. And for those who didn’t attend SDCC 2017, you’ll still have a chance to order the Exclusive Marvel Legends Battle for Asgard set online on HTS on August 14th! To help the fence-sitters decide, I’ll be posting a review of each figure in the set leading up to 8/14. And the first review is of a character who may ultimately be exclusive to this set: Marvel Legends Ulik!

For those who haven’t heard, Hasbro is kicking off their very own convention this year year, which will features all of their major brands like Transformers, My Little Pony, Star Wars, and of course, Marvel: HasCon. As this is a first time event, I haven’t been too sure what to make of HasCon, but what with it being an hour from my home, I’ll definitely be there. And now we know someone else who’ll be there: Deadpool! A 6″ Marvel Legends X-Force Deadpool figure will be exclusively released first at HasCon 2017!

While the majority of the new 6″ Marvel Legends figures that Hasbro announced at SDCC 2017 were expected than unexpected, I don’t think anyone was expecting the three new sixth scale figures premiering at the event. Not only was a Jim Lee Wolverine 12″ figure shown off on display early on in the convention, but during the Hasbro Marvel panel, Marvel Legends 12″ X-Force Deadpool and Agent of Weapon X Deadpool figures were revealed!

Hot Toys caught many collectors–including me–off guard when they debuted not just 1/6 Gladiator Thor at San Diego Comic Con 2017, but also an unexpected Roadworn Thor figure! When there were two versions of Thor for one movie for the second time ever, I had my suspicions the non-gladiator version would be an exclusive. Turns out I was right: the 2017 Toy Fair EXCLUSIVE Roadworn Thor with Surtur Skull is now up for order!

While the majority of the items that Hasbro brought along to officially reveal at San Diego Comic-Con 2017 were unofficially known already due to a widely-circulated leaked list, Hasbro still had some surprises to knock our socks off with. And the two that really threw me for a loop are (of course) store exclusives: the Marvel Legends Defenders box set and Marvel Legends Hydra Troopers army-builder two-pack!

Hasbro began a new sub-series of Marvel Legends figures earlier this year when they released the first in a series of 6″ Fantastic Four Legends figures exclusive to Walgreens: the Invisible Woman with HERBIE! And while we’re still waiting for the Human Torch to flame into stores and join his sister, we now officially know the next two entries in the line that will be following Johnny Storm: Marvel Legends Mr. Fantastic and… Medusa?!

We interrupt this San Diego Comic Con 2017 coverage to bring you… a review of the final figure in the Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 series! Hasbro’s GOTG 2 series is perhaps their finest lineup of movie 6″ figures ever, but there was one gaping, planet-sized hole that collectors desperately needed to complete that set. And now, he has arrived: the Marvel Legends Ego & Star-Lord two-pack is now shipping from EE! Is it worth buying this pack just for Ego? Read on…

2017 will go down in history as the year that the Marvel Cinematic Universe TV Series such as Daredevil and Jessica Jones finally started getting the kinds of collector-level merch that fans have been waiting for. But there’s one MCU TV series that pre-dates both of those that’s been mostly ignored by all companies (bar a handful of POP Vinyls): Agents of SHIELD. But for the very first time, Agents of SHIELD is about to feel some high-end love: the Toy Fair Exclusive Hot Toys Ghost Rider figure is now up for order!
