Toy Fair 2016: Marvel Legends Scarlet Witch Movie Figure!

Some computer listings leaked out the supposed lineup for the 2016 Marvel Legends Captain America Wave 3 figures earlier this month, but I was doubtful that we were close enough to the release of that series that the figures would be on display at the New York Toy Fair 2016 this weekend. And as expected, the whole series wasn’t on display. But–BUT!! Hasbro did give us a pretty fantastic treat, with a look at a pair of new figures from the wave–including the hotly-demanded Marvel Legends Scarlet Witch movie figure!

While no photos were allowed at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany a few weeks back, an eye-witness report stated that there was a movie Scarlet Witch Marvel Legends 6″ figure at the show. After that, a store database revealed the UPC code for the whole Captain America Marvel Legends 2016 Wave 3 series, which all but confirmed the existence of this Elizabeth Olsen Scarlet Witch.

But hey–seeing is believing, and I actually got to see the 6″ Marvel Legends Scarlet Witch action figure today at the Hasbro Toy Fair Press Event!

Marvel Legends 2016 Scarlet Witch 6" FigureThe Scarlet Witch six inch figure is wearing her New Avengers costume from the end of “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, rather than the costume that she wears for the first 99% of the film. I think that’s a smart choice, however, as this look much more closely resembles her “Captain America: Civil War” costume than her original AOU outfit.

And hey–you even get some new (and way cool) translucent pink energy effects pieces as accessories. What more can you ask for, right?

Well–how about an interesting alternate look for Captain America himself? While Hasbro is calling this figure “Secret War Captain America”, I’m a little confused by that name. Isn’t this actually “Age of X Captain America”…?

Regardless, this Wave 3 Cap figure looks very interesting, and is a welcome change from the never-ending parade of “classic” Cap figures that we’ve been getting over the last few years.

I’ll be continuing to post Cap-loads of Marvel Toy News from the Toy Fair International throughout the weekend and the next week, so be sure to follow the Marvel Toy News Facebook and Twitter Pages so that you don’t miss out on anything really excited (or somewhat exciting)!

What do you think of the first two figures that have been revealed for the final Marvel Legends Civil War wave of 2016? Are you interested in picking up this movie Scarlet Witch or alternate universe Steve Rogers, or are these characters not “616” enough for you?

  1. That Witch is awesome.
    Not at all sold on that Cap…. Still, glad to see them getting to work on figuring out how to add more accesories and effects parts.

    • Looking at it again, that Cap is literally just a repaint of the Red Onslaught Cap we just got, isn’t it?

      Meh.
      Not a fan of the mold for Cap.

      • The head is from the target 3 pack cap and the hit monkey cap the body is the same body used for a lot of other Hasbro figures machine man, going man, batroc, ext.

  2. They’re correct in calling it the Secret War Cap. There was a time where Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Daredevil, Wolverine, and Captain America had to infiltrate Latveria and this was the costume cap used. I wish though we could’ve gotten the newest Steve Rogers Captain America look though, with the new shield. That would’ve been nice, but still looking forward to seeing this.

  3. I don’t want either of these figures. I prefer the comic Scarlet Witch released last year and the Onslaught Captain released this year.

  4. In B4 nerds come in to complain about Hasbro making movie figs.

    That looks great. Seriously captured Lizzie Olsen’s likeness well.

    • Oh my gosh yes!! she looks amazing I want her already!! I’m not one for comic book figures I’m a big fan of movie figures thier really badass and really detailed!! But Scarlet Witch, I’m getting her for sure!!

    • Nerds? We are toy collectors. We are all nerds, nerd.

      Also, movie toys are inherently skippable, within a year they are made worthless by a redesign.

    • Can’t front. She does look awesome. Hasbro is putting in work with their female molds. As for complaining about more movie figs, that would be pointless since Hasbro announced over two years ago that their policy would be waves will be movie based. Even the recent Spider-Man waves are under the “Amazing Spider-Man II” banner. It’s a fact of life with Legends I’ve accepted (and I’m no fan of movie figures myself), but when they look good…they look good!
