San Diego Comic Con 2020 (At Home) may have come for an end, but we’re still going to have convention exclusives to look forward to for months to come! Last week, Hasbro revealed what would have been their SDCC 2020 Exclusives—but will now be sold online this fall as “Convention Exclusives” instead. Coming to Hasbro Pulse in September: the Marvel Legends Hellfire Box Set and Marvel Legends Logan Movie Two-Pack of Wolverine and Professor X!

While last week’s Hasbro solicitations were rightly focused on the 20th Anniversary of the original X-Men live-action movie, as soon as those figures went live for pre-orders fans were asking when we’d be seeing the Deadpool movie figures that were unveiled at February’s New York Toy Fair 2020. But the time is now here—and Wade isn’t alone! The Marvel Legends Deadpool movie figures and Old Man Logan/Hawkeye two/pack are now up for order:
Movie Deadpool & Negasonic Teenage Warhead ►
Domino ►
Old Man Logan & Hawkeye ►

UPDATE 7/12/2020: The Haslab Marvel Legends Sentinel project keeps steamrolling ahead like no Haslab project before it! Just two days after launching, 8000+ backers have already signed up and the second tier of “stretch goals” has now been unlocked: an alternate battle-damaged Sentinel head and hand that will be included as additional interchangeable parts when the figures ship out next year! Who’s psyched about these new options, and what are you hoping for at the 9000+ unlock?

Jumping back to my series of X-Men Marvel Legends Age of Apocalypse wave figures, today I’m going to check out the token female figure in the series! In one of her most unique looks ever, it’s the Marvel Legends X-Men Age of Apocalypse Jean Grey figure that’s available online now! AOA Jean Grey comes with a whopping zero accessories of her own, but also one of the biggest Build-A-Figure parts ever—does it even out and make her a worthwhile purchase?

Last week I discussed half of Iron Studios’ latest round of 1:10 scale X-Men Battle Diorama Series statues by looking at a quartet of new pieces including Sabretooth, Pyro, Colossus and Omega Red. But IS has gone all-in on the X-Men, and there’s still another trifecta of heavy-hitter headliners to preview: the Iron Studios Jean Grey, Emma Frost and Bishop BDS statues are all up for order now! Does IS continue their hot streak with more definitive versions of iconic X-Men team members…?

If you had asked me a year ago what X-Men characters I never in my life thought would be made as super-articulated Hasbro Marvel Legends, Sugar Man would have definitely been on that list. But that was before Hasbro announced an entire series of Age of Apocalypse figures, defying fans’ expectations by not making the Build-A-Figure Holocaust or Apocalypse or Sabretooth, but instead… the Sugar Man! And so, the Sugar Man BAF has now cometh for those who bought the whole wave! Is this monstrous menace worth assembling…?

Of all the characters to come out of the X-Men Age of Apocalypse storyline, the strongest case can arguably be made for X-Man (Nate Grey) being the most impactful character to survive that universe and cross into the 616. So it feels fully appropriate that the alternate universe Cable make an appearance in this first wave of Marvel Legends Age of Apocalypse X-Men figures! Although he’s pre-sold out through Amazon and BBTS, EE still has Marvel Legends X-Man 6″ figure pre-orders available! Is he worth snagging?

As an impressionable 13 year-old when X-Men “Age of Apocalypse” hit in 1995, the appearance of a sinister, morality-blind alternate universe Hank McCoy blew my mind. And when that evil Beast crossed over to continue his mad science in the main Marvel Universe? Jaw dropped in disbelief! There’s zero question that Dark Beast is among the longest-lasting and most significant characters from the AOA—and an obvious choice for Hasbro’s first wave from the series. X-Men Marvel Legends Dark Beast is shipping this month from online retailers—is this a sadistic Hank McCoy worth dropping your dollars on?

New York Comic Con 2020 is not something I expected to be talking about in May 2020–especially since it’s uncertain whether or not that beloved annual October event is even going to occur this year. But Kotobukiya had other thoughts, because this week they went and announced a limited edition exclusive for the show—that’s only available via pre-order from online retailers! The Kotobukiya NYCC 2020 Bishoujo Phoenix Rebirth (Green) Statue is now up for order—is this an exclusive worth locking in?

X-Men Age of Apocalypse has been my favorite comic book story for over two decades (although Jonathan Hickman’s House of X may end up dethroning it!), so I’ve been chomping at the bit to get this year’s X-Men Legends Age of Apocalypse figures in-hand to review. And while I’ve only received two thus far, I just can’t wait any longer to start the reviews! Although he’s pre-sold out on Amazon and his listing is presently removed, Marvel Legends Wild Child is in-stock for ordering now on EE! Is the first toy of AOA Sabretooth’s little buddy in 25 years worth ordering?
