y ultimately go down as the year that Hasbro more or less phased out Build-A-Figures, opting for deluxe figures, 2-packs and retro cards instead. But on the upside, Hasbro is filling in some big long-demanded holes in the collection. Case in point: the X-Men Marvel Legends Gladiator & Deathbird 2-pack is now up for order! We’ve had Gladiator twice before, but this version has some upgrades for fans to get excited about…

Which of these figures were worth waiting to add to *your* collection, X-Men fans?

Everything is coming up “Marvel GamerVerse” in 2025, and the latest new line of Marvel action figures to be announced will be joining the trend! Following “Marvel vs Capcom” themed lineups from Hasbro and PCS, Bandai Tamashii Nations is hopping onto the bandwagon with their own video game-inspired series: pre-orders have now launched for the Marvel GamerVerse SH Figuarts Cyclops figure! He’s a dream come true for fans of the Capcom/Marvel fighting games, but like all Marvel Figuarts, won’t come cheap…

Despite being among the most popular and recognizable X-Men villains, we hadn’t seen a single-packed non-movie Marvel Legends Juggernaut figure since the Toybiz days of old nearly two decades ago. But as part of their “Marvel vs Capcom” themed GamerVerse initiative this year, that’s just what Hasbro is giving us: the deluxe oversized Marvel Legends Juggernaut figure is now smashing in for pre-orders!

Hasbro is going hard with GamerVerse Marvel Legends releases like never before this year, so it seems appropriate that even their San Diego Comic Con 2025 exclusive is video game inspired! Based on the MARVEL SNAP mobile game, the SDCC 2025 exclusive Marvel Legends Savage Land set featuring Sauron, Shanna and Savage Land Rogue figures has been revealed!

I complained mightily about the lack of a Sonic Screaming head with the X-Men Legends Siryn figure a couple years back, so I might have lost my shit if Hasbro delivered Theresa’s daddy here with the same omission. Thankfully, I can put away my torch and pitchfork and come down off my soapbox, as Hasbro has given collectors the best action figure ever of Banshee with this new release in the “Mini Comics Series”. Spoilers. Here’s my review…

X-Men fans aren’t exactly starving for a new Scott Summers Marvel Legends action figure—Hasbro has made sure Cyclops fans have been eating good these last few years. And after releasing Cyclops in his familiar blue and white X-Factor costume in 2019, Hasbro is back at it again with the blue and yellow Cyclops right off the cover of the first-ever X-Factor #1! Is this X-Men Legends 2025 figure worth picking up even if you’re not building the “Nemesis” Build-A-Figure? Here’s my review…

Any way you slice it, the Build-A-Figure of the 2025 X-Men Marvel Legends wave is definitely a weird one. Hasbro is calling this 616 character [Genocide] “Nemesis”, even though they already assigned that name previously to another totally different Apocalypse-related character [Age of Apocalypse Holocaust] that just so happens to look like 616’s Genocide. This is further confusing by two AOA characters being in this series (including one who crossed into the 616). Got all that? Okay, here’s my review of the new Marvel Legends Nemesis/Genocide BAF…

X-Men Age of Apocalypse is one of my favorite comic book stories of all-time and Gambit is among my favorite X-Men characters ever, so it stands to reason the new X-Men Marvel Legends Age of Apocalypse figure that just started shipping should be one of my favorite action figures, right? To my surprise, I instead feel rather ambivalent toward Hasbro’s X-Men Legends AOA Gambit. Here’s my review…

Marrow is a character I never expected to own a toy of again after I had her Toybiz Generation X figure in 1996. But Hasbro is plowing through the Marvel half of the various Marvel vs. Capcom rosters, and the bone-wielding Morlock is the latest to benefit from the fighting video game to 6” figure spotlight! The 2025 X-Men Marvel Legends Marrow figure is shipping now as part of the Nemesis (Genocide) Series—is this unlikely figure a worthy one to add to your collection?

Hasbro’s marketing team set expectations for this weekend’s New York Toy Fair by saying there would only be a couple new Marvel Legends reveals, and they stayed true to their word. But what reveals they were! Along with the life size Doctor Doom helmet replica (that I’ll talk about tomorrow), they announced a long-demanded updated figure to launch alongside the previously-revealed X-Force Warpath and X-23: the deluxe Marvel Legends X-Force Archangel is now up for order! Let’s have a look…

2025 has been rather light thus far as far as new Marvel Legends pre-orders go, but Hasbro is spicing things up today by launching pre-orders for a mix largely composed of most-requested fan favorite characters from across the 616 comics spectrum! Headlined by the first official Marvel Legends ROM and a long-awaited updated green costume Banshee, the Marvel Legends Mini Comics series of figures is now up for order! (But to be clear, you can NOT read these mini comic pack-ins…)

The Marvel Legends 2025 X-Men Nemesis Series is now up for order! (And no, the BAF is -not- Age of Apocalypse Holocaust…)
