Marvel Legends Crystar isn’t a figure I would have expected to ever exist at all a year ago; much less as the first toy I review in 2024. But here we are, and here the prince of Crystalium is. He’s of the more bizarre and unlikely inclusions ever in the Hasbro Marvel Legends series, but is this Crystal Warrior worth starting off your new year with?

Remember that “heavily rumored” series of 2024 Marvel Legends X-Men Wolverine two-packs in honor of Wolverine’s 50th anniversary I talked about earlier this month? Not only is it real, but the first two pairs in the series are up for PO today: Marvel Legends Lilandra & Brood-Infected Wolverine and Cowboy Logan & the larger Jim Lee Sabretooth fans have demanded!

It’s a little bit unbelievable that the veil of secrecy surrounding the 2021 Spider-Man No Way Home movie was so thick that we’re only now getting toys for this mega-blockbuster at mass retail. I gave Sandman from the Marvel Legends No Way Home series a glowing review earlier this month, and now I’m ready to review the freshest Spider-Man in the wave: Tom Holland Spidey in his “final swing” suit from the end of the movie! Is this a 6” Tom Holland Spider-Man worth upgrading to?

Hasbro gave collectors a heads up before November began that last month was going to be a slow month for Marvel Legends news, and now we can look back in hindsight and agree that they were true to their word. But there was a singular light in the darkness, as the sole figure announced last month is a character neither Hasbro nor Toybiz has ever captured in toy form before: the X-Men Marvel Legends 2024 series will include Shi’ar Empress Lilandra Neramani!

Sandman isn’t likely to top many fans’ lists for favorite Spider-Man movie villain, but he does have an advantage over more popular villains like Doc Ock and Green Goblin in that he’s easy to package as a basic individual $25 action figure.
And so, nearly two years after Spider-Man No Way Home hit theaters, the Hasbro 6” Marvel Legends Sandman No Way Home movie figure is now available. If you don’t have a Flint Marko in your collection, will this MCU Sandman sufficiently fill that void in your life?

As we march toward the new year and the impending arrival of 2024 Marvel Legends figures, I want to backtrack and finish my in-progress reviews of a couple of this year’s waves. And first up, we’ve got the penultimate figure review in the Hasbro 6” X-Men ‘97 Marvel Legends Series: Storm! Ororo has received a multitude of new action figures in recent years—will this one add anything fresh to your collection?

When Hasbro released their first 6” Marvel Legends Rogue figure in her 90s Jim Lee costume back in 2017, it was a pretty big deal and a hole-filler for many X-Men collectors. Flash-forward 6+ years, and we’ve had multiple X-Men Legends Rogue figures since. Even so, X-Men ‘97 is on the horizon, and that means that every old X-Man is new again for some incoming fans—and Hasbro is ready to service those fans with new and/or upgraded figures! Does the now-available X-Men 97 Rogue Legends figure bring enough to the table to warrant a purchase? Here’s my review…

After two all-Star reveals for Hasbro’s 1027 stream (plus Last Stand Spider-Man), Hasbro was back again over the weekend at MCM London Comic-Con, revealing the second half of the 2024 Marvel Legends Spider-Man Retro Series! This second trio also includes a secondary villain, a supporting character and an ultra-obscure Spider-Man— Marvel Legends Tombstone, Hallows Eve and Spider-Shot are now up for order!

While the Spider-Man Clone Saga was once a reviled joke among comic fans, characters from that 90s classic have now risen to become some of the most loved in Spider-Man lore. And so, for the third time in a year, a new Ben Reilly figure is on the way—this time in the form of an updated Marvel Legends Scarlet Spider figure! But Ben’s not coming alone: he’ll be joined in the Spider-Man Marvel Legends 2024 Retro lineup by Jack O’ Lantern and Last Stand Spider-Man!

To the astonishment of many (including me), the HasLab Giant-Man rocketed past finding in its final day and even unlocked the Zombie Head Stretch goal, as the campaign numbers nearly doubled in the last 48 hours. But now that Marvel Legends collectors have a two foot tall figure to look forward to receiving in the future, let’s jump back to the present and review a new figure of a character -from- the future! The X-Men 97 Marvel Legends Bishop figure is now available—is this version of the X-Men’s time-traveling powerhouse worth picking up?

Time is growing shorter and shorter for Hank Pym fans, as the odds of the Marvel Legends HasLab Giant-Man successfully funding diminish more and more with each passing hour. But today, Hasbro pulled out a treat to attempt to bolster Giant-Man figure orders: an all-new, never-before-seen classic Wasp Marvel Legends 2024 figure that will be the perfect complement to HasLab Giant-Man (if he funds)!

It may be rather hard to believe given the iconic nature and massive popularity of the character, but Hasbro has never individually released a non-exclusive standard 616 Magneto Marvel Legends 6” figure… until now! Fans have waited through black costume, white costume and Age of Apocalypse iterations of the Master of Magnetism, but finally the most recognizable mainstream version of Erik Lehnsherr is ready to storm retail stores: the X-Men 97 Marvel Legends Magneto figure is now available! Is Hasbro delivering a definitive action figure of Magnus? Here’s my review…

Back when I reviewed the X-Men Marvel Legends Gambit figure from the Caliban Series in 2019, I said that “I wouldn’t mind seeing another version of this same figure released” down the road. Hasbro must have taken that to heart, because now they’ve updated and released this Remy twice more! The Marvel Legends X-Men 97 Gambit figure is now available—is the third time the charm that elevates this Gambit to definitive?

I think it should be mandatory to exclaim “SWEET CHRISTMAS!!” in the introduction to any review of a classic Luke Cage action figure, so let’s get that out of the way right now. Toybiz first released their take on Power Man back in 2006, but Hasbro has only produced more modern versions of Cage… until now! The 2023 Marvel Legends Luke Cage Power Man figure isn’t coming to most retail stores—should you pick up this 70s icon online while you can?

If we needed any evidence that the new year is coming in fast, we’re getting it today with pre-orders opening for the first wave of Marvel Legends 2024 figures! And what a wave the Void Build-A-Figure Series is, bringing long sought-after definitive versions of Black Panther and Vision, as well along with characters many thought would ever see plastic form like Crystar and Power Princess…
