REVIEW: Marvel Legends Phoenix Deluxe 2024 X-Men Figure

Posted on by November 19, 2024
Review Marvel Legends Phoenix Action Figure

Phoenix is one of the most iconic women in comic book history, so it’s no surprise that she’s frequently being revisited for action figures, movies, statues, toys and more. When Hasbro released a new X-Men Legends Dark Phoenix last year, it was a certainty we’d see green (good) Phoenix sooner than later. But what fans may not have anticipated was this fancy deluxe release! The Marvel Legends Phoenix deluxe figure retails for just under 50 bucks and is shipping now—is this Jean worth half a Ben Franklin? Here’s my review…

Marvel Legends 2025 Reveals Fabian Cortex Spot Dark Ms Marvel Warbird

The march to the new year is officially on, and as we enter the home stretch, Hasbro is continuing to tease collectors with more Marvel Legends 2025 figures coming our way this winter. Last week, they quietly announced the Marvel Legends Moonstone (Dark Ms. Marvel/Warbird), giving fans the first-ever 6” figure of super-villain Karla Soren in her Dark Avengers costume. And at this week’s Lucca 2024 event in Italy, two more surprises were revealed: Marvel Legends Fabian Cortez (of X-Men fame) and a powered-up version of The Spot from last year’s Across the Spider-Verse movie!

Diamond Select Toys Marvel Select Wolverine Movie Figure Carnage X Magneto Green Goblin Busts

Diamond Select Toys brought a smaller than usual assemblage of new Marvel collectibles to New York Comic Con 2024, so I was a mite worried we wouldn’t get a good round of DST solicitations this month. Luckily, that’s not the case, as we’re getting a highly-demanded movie Select figure, two new shots at animated busts of top villains and a reissue of a store exclusive: Marvel Select Deadpool vs Wolverine Wolverine, Carnage X and busts of Green Goblin and unhelmeted Magneto are now up for order!

2025 Marvel Legends Sentinels Figures Hasbro Pulse Exclusive NYCC 2024

New York Comic Con is not the mecca for toy reveals that it once was, but we haven’t reached a day where collectibles companies are just ignoring it either. And so, while Hasbro didn’t exactly bring out the big guns for their Marvel Legends showing at NYCC 2024, they did bring a solitary BIG gun. Many collectors have been lamenting missing out on the Haslab Sentinel since its 2021 campaign, but now they’ll get another chance at a fresh version of the mutant-hunting machines: the X-Men 97 Marvel Legends Sentinel is now up for order! Will you assemble any of these raucous robots on your shelves?

Marvel Legends Bloodstorm Figure Review

If you put Bloodstorm on your 2024 Marvel Legends Bingo board, you deserve to give yourself a monstrous pat on the back right now. Vampire Storm is a character I’m quite fond of, but never thought I’d see the day she’d be on my shelf in plastic form. But against the odds Marvel Legends Bloodstorm is real and now shipping out; here’s my review of whether you should own Hasbro’s blood-sucking Ororo Monroe…

Marvel Legends Professor X & Retro Green Goblin Reissue Figures Up for Order!

Marvel Legends Professor X & Green Goblin Hasbro Reissues

Hasbro has been taking the slow and steady approach throughout 2024, giving Marvel Legends collectors a few little treats each month, rather than hammering fans with wave after wave of figures as in past years. But speaking of past years, this week’s offerings are a blast from the past, bringing back two of the most popular ML of the last half decade: reissues of the X-Men Legends Professor X in Hoverchair and Spider-Man Legends Retro Green Goblin are now up for order!

Marvel Legends Phoenix & Magik Figures Up for Order!

Marvel Legends Phoenix & Magik 2024 Hasbro Figures

It’s been a pretty good year for the Phoenix entity, first getting an origin in the X-Men comics and then the first-ever ongoing Phoenix ongoing comic book series launching this week. But that’s not the only Jean Grey milestone this week! For the first time in many years, Hasbro has a new (not Dark) Marvel Legends Phoenix figure up for order—and it’s a deluxe release with a huge fiery Phoenix Force entity effect base! It’s a bit on the pricey side, but there’s no denying how lovely it is! Will this be flying into your display, Marvel collectors? (Plus: the Demon Sorceress Magik teleports in for a return of her own!)

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Astonishing X-Men Wolverine Figure (85th Anniversary)

Posted on by July 15, 2024
Marvel Legends Size Scale Comparison Astonishing Wolverine and Cyclops

There’s no doubt that Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men comic books run was a watershed moment for the merry mutants, and John Cassaday’s costume designs for the x-Men have had enduring popularity as a result. So even though Toybiz released a very nice Astonishing Wolverine in 2005, it’s no shocker to see Hasbro upgrading that iteration of Logan in the 85th Anniversary Marvel Legends series during Wolverine’s own 50th anniversary. The 2024 Marvel Legends Astonishing X-Men Wolverine figure is starting to ship now—is this the ultimate release of this version?

Marvel Legends Destiny Rogue 2-Pack Packaged in Box

After 25+ years of Marvel Legends figures, there aren’t too many high-profile X-Men villains left waiting for their first figure at this point. But there’s one major character whose toy fate has always seemed cloudy but is now finally getting her day in the plastic sun: the Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends Destiny & Classic Rogue 2-pack is now up for order! Is this key member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and Krakoan Council prophesized to join *your* collection?

Marvel Legends Cable REVIEW (2024 Zabu Build-A-Figure Series)

Posted on by June 14, 2024
Marvel Legends Cable 2024 Figure in 90s Marvel vs Capcom 2 Costume

Cable has had his fair share of Hasbro action figures, though still far less than the copious amount that Toybiz put out. Even so, it’s been over half a decade now since the last comics-based Cable Legends figure was released and demand for the popular character has grown quite high! And so, Nathan Christopher Charles Dayspring Askani’son Summers is finally returning to stores this summer as a headliner in the Marvel Legends Zabu Series. Is Hasbro’s latest Marvel Legends Cable figure their best? Here’s my review…

REVIEW: Marvel Legends WOLFSBANE Figure (2024 Zabu BAF Series)

Posted on by May 25, 2024
REVIEW Marvel Legends Wolfsbane Hasbro 6" Figure

“Slow and steady” wins the race, but I think it’s also an apt descriptor for how Hasbro has team built the Peter David 90s X-Factor team in 6” Marvel Legends form. It’s been 6 years since Marvel Legends Multiple Man kicked off this iteration of X-Factor in the Apocalypse Build-A-Figure Series, but Rahne Sinclair has at last arrived to complete the team. The just-released Marvel Legends Wolfsbane figure has just started shipping as part of the mixed characters Zabu BAF wave—should you snag this long-awaited Scottish werewolf to your collection? Here’s my review…

Marvel Legends 2024 Astonishing Wolverine and Superior Spiderman Figures

Hasbro brought their A-game to this week’s new Hasbro Pulse Marvel Legends stream of figure reveals, but the most immediate ones were for figures semi-confirmed by leaked prototypes that surfaced over the last few weeks. There was quite a bit of buzz surrounding those leaks, but now fans can lock in their reservations and pine away for the actual products: Marvel Legends Superior Spider-Man and Astonishing X-Men Wolverine are now up for order!

REVIEW: X-Men 97 JEAN GREY Marvel Legends Figure

Posted on by April 12, 2024
X-Men Legends 97 Wave 2 Cyclops and Jean Grey Action Figures

X-Men ‘97 is a smash hit, and Hasbro’s excellent tie-in toy line is enjoying massive success as well. As such, I’m continuing along with my series of 6” Marvel legends X-Men 97 figures with a key member of the team. We’ve had several previous Hasbro action figures of her in 90s Jim Lee costume, but is the new X-Men 97 Legends Jean Grey figure the definitive version of the character?

REVIEW: Marvel Legends X-Men 97 CYCLOPS Figure (Hasbro Wave 2)

Posted on by April 4, 2024
Angry Head Optic Blast Cyclops X-Men 97 Hasbro Action Figure

Way back in my 2017 review, I thought the X-Men Legends Cyclops figure in the Warlock Series was acceptable, despite its flaws, because we were in the middle of a Jim Lee Cyclops famine. In 2024, not so much. We’ve seen numerous representations of Cyke in this costume in the interim, but as far as Hasbro 6” figures go, the newly-released X-Men 97 Marvel Legends Cyclops easily takes the crown as the best Jim Lee Cyclops figure ever made…
