REVIEW: X-Men 97 Sentinel 14” Figure (Hasbro Titan Hero)

Marvel Legends Sentinel 2023 Hasbro Figure vs. Wolverine Hasbro

Sentinels being giant freaking killer robots is a bit of a double-edged sword when it comes to merch, as every X-Men fan wants one or more—but, well, they’re -giant- freaking robots. And “giant” in the collectibles world is often synonymous with “expensive”. But Hasbro has a clever solution to that accessibility roadblock in their bag of tricks: the low-priced, low-detailed and low-articulated Marvel Titan Hero Series of oversized figures! And so, for the first time in decades, you can order a foot-tall-plus Sentinel for under 30 bucks! Is the X-Men 97 Sentinel Titan Hero figure the value-priced mutant-hunting robot army-builders have been dreaming of?

Marvel Legends Target Exclusive Black Widow Avengers 60th Figure REVIEW

Close-Up of Black Widow Marvel Legends Black Widow Exclusive 6" Figure

Black Widow has got to be in the running for the female character who’s had the highest number of 6” Marvel Legends figures over the years. From live action to comic-based, from Natasha to Yelena, we’ve had no shortage of Hasbro Black Widow figures over the years. And so, the announcement of this year’s Target Exclusive Marvel Legends Black Widow 60th Anniversary figure was met with some malaise. But now that I’ve got her in-hand, might this be the best comic book Black Widow action figure to-date?

Marvel Legends Disney+ Hydra Stomper Series Up for Order! Kingpin! Agatha!

Marvel Legends Disney+ Hydra Stomper Series Figures

Sometimes the stars align and Hasbro can keep a whole wave of Marvel Legends secret until the last moment, and sometimes the stars don’t and the wave is actually in stores internationally before it’s even finished being revealed officially. This latest Disney+ Marvel Legends Hydra Stomper series is the latter occurrence, and seems to be receiving little fanfare even now that it has been announced and put up for order. But with long-awaited characters like live-action Nick Fury, Kingpin and Agatha, does this set deserve to make a bigger splash?

X-Men 97 Marvel Legends 6″ Figures Revealed at SDCC 2023 & Up for Order!

Marvel Legends 2023 X-Men 97 Figures Revealed at SDCC 2023

X-Men ‘97 is kind of a big deal (as far as streaming superhero cartoons go), and so Hasbro is planning a fairly big rollout of toys to coincide with the eventual release of the series (which is still undated). As such, there’s more on the way than just the 4” series that includes the Rogue I reviewed yesterday—Hasbro unveiled the first wave of a whole new 6” Marvel Legends X-Men 97 series at SDCC 2023, including a half-dozen updated iconic mutants. Let’s take a look…

UPDATE: The whole wave is now up for pre-order as of Aug 3, 2023. Links below…

Spider-Man Marvel Legends CHASM Retro Series Figure REVIEW (Hasbro 2023)

Review Chasm Marvel Legends 2023 Hasbro Action Figure

Sometimes, prominent classic characters like Mephisto and Madelyne Pryor never make it into Marvel Legends figure production at all after decades of requests from fans. And sometimes, we get characters like the demented post-psychoactive goo villainous clone of Spider-Man as toys less than a year and a half after his first appearance. Fair or unfair, the Retro Spider-Man Marvel Legends Chasm figure has started shipping out—is this crazed, mutated Ben Reilly worth adding to your Spidey villains shelf?

X-Men 97 Rogue Figure REVIEW & Photos (Hasbro Epic Hero)

X-Men 97 Rogue Figure Hasbro Epic Hero

It’s taken a few… decades… but the continuation of the legendary X-Men The Animated Series (sometimes affectionately referred to as X-Men ‘92) is finally almost upon us (sort of)! There was still no firm premiere date announced at SDCC 2023, but at least we know the series will arrive in the near-ish future. And new show means new toys! In fact, the first X-Men 97 toys have already started shipping, including this 4” X-Men 97 Epic Hero Series Rogue figure I ordered to review…

SDCC 2023: Marvel Legends Mindless One Series Up for Order! Blade! Luke Cage!

Hasbro Marvel Knights Legends 2023 Mindless One Figure Series Blade Iron Man Luke Cage

Hasbro has revealed and released such a steady stream of 6” Marvel Legends figures throughout the year so far that with the upcoming Disney+ wave having already leaked, I wasn’t certain they’d have many surprises left to show at SDCC 2023. But Hasbro actually did have quite a few cards left in reserve—including an all-star comics-centric wave with an army-builder Build-A-Figure! The Marvel Legends Marvel Knights Mindless Ones BAF Series is now up for order, including Blade, Marvel Suns Iron Man, classic Luke Cage and more!

Speculation has run wild over the past weeks as fans made their guesses as to what this year’s San Diego Comic Con Marvel Legends exclusive would be—but when Hasbro finally dropped the curtain this week, it turned out that the item was something I hadn’t heard a single collector guess.

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Chamber & Monet Generation X Figures (Ch’od Wave)

X-men Legends Chamber and M Figures Review

New Mutants is my lifelong favorite team comic book, so I was all-in for its successor, Generation X, when it launched in 1994. But Toybiz’s Generation X figure line flopped and was cancelled before Toybiz put out half the team—and Gen X merch has felt like it’s seemingly on some sort of radioactive list since. But finally, 20+ years into the run of Marvel Legends, official toys of Chamber and Monet St. Croix (M) have now been released! Are these X-Men Legends figures worth the decades fans have waited for them?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Corsair Figure (2023 X-Men Ch’od Series)

2023 Marvel Legends Corsair & Ch'od Figures

Corsair is a character I kind of got off on the wrong foot with, as my earliest memories of him are me as a kid shoving aside piles of his 90s Toybiz X-Men figure while searching for the (stupidly shortpacked) first Phoenix/Jean Grey figure ever. I never bought that vintage Corsair, and never had much desire to own a toy of him. But Hasbro decided I’d need to buy Marvel Legends Corsair to complete the Ch’od Build-A-Figure (who’s already been discounted on Amazon), so here he is! Is this a definitive toy of the Summers family patriarch? Here’s my review…

X-Men Marvel Legends Kid Omega Quentin Quire REVIEW (1012 Ch’od Series)

Marvel Legends X-Force Kid Omega Figure Holding Psychic Shotgun

uentin Quire is likely my favorite comic book character to debut in the new millennium, so I was more than a little hyped to see the Grant Morrison-created rebellious young adult’s name being bandied about on rumored lists of upcoming X-Men Legends figures last year. The future Phoenix host and omega-level mutant has gained a lot of prominence and popularity over the years, and the time seemed ripe for his first action figure. Even so, the design of this Marvel Legends Kid Omega figure… probably wasn’t what many of QQ’s fans had in mind. But if you’re building the Ch’od BAF, you’ll need Kid Omega nonetheless. So let’s have a look at the pink-haired punk’s debut figure…

Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends Gladiator Hulk Figure Up for Order!

Amazon Marvel Legends Gladiator Hulk Box Front

Gladiator Hulk is unquestionably in the upper echelon of best Marvel Legends Build-A-Figures that Hasbro has ever done from a marketing perspective. As the highly hyped co-star of Thor Ragnarok, basically every MCU movie figure collector set their eyes on owning a Gladiator Hulk BAF from the film. But not every fan could or wanted to buy a whole $120 6-figure set for the armor-clad Jade Giant, and those collectors were left out in the cold—until now. With a new extra head and a few updated paints, the individually sold Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends Gladiator Hulk is now up for pre-order!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Astonishing X-Men Cyclops Figure (2023 Ch’od Series)

X-Men Legends 2023 Cyclops and Emma Frost Astonishing X-Men Figures

Cyclops may not be an Omega-level mutant in the X-Men comics, but he’s unquestionably an Omega-level X-Men merch seller. Scott Summers sells likes wildfire every time Hasbro releases a 6” Marvel Legends figure of him in any of his closet of costumes, so it’s not shocking that Hasbro is revisiting a popular costume they first released over a decade and a half ago. X-Men Legends Astonishing Cyclops is now arriving. Does this new version surpass the one from the Brood Queen series?
