I’m back home from New York Toy Fair 2018, and after 14 hours of sleep, I’m ready to begin my coverage here on the site! I’ve already uploaded hundreds of photos to the Marvel Toy News Facebook Page (and plenty more on our Facebook and Twitter), and those images will be making their way here to the main site throughout the week in comprehensive articles. But to begin, how about a little fun? Here’s my completely opinionated Top 10 Marvel Legends figures revealed at the 2018 Toy Fair!

10. Marvel Legends Spider-Ham (Monster Venom Series)

I’ve got no doubt I’ll get some flack for putting Peter Porker on this list, but my eyes absolutely lit up when I saw ML Spider-Ham. While the articulation on this guy could certainly be improved (there’s not a lot), I love the smooth, cartoonlike look of the toy. And hey—the Pork Grind Head included that’s compatible with this wave’s Venom figure? That’s pure gold.

9. Ant-Man (Avengers Infinity War Wave 2)

I’m not the biggest Ant-Man fan (at all), but it was a real “holy sh*t” moment when I walked into the Hasbro showroom and saw the Paul Rudd likeness on this figure. The zany smirk is one of the most fun, expressive, perfect actor heads we’ve ever seen from Hasbro, and they deserve mad props for it.

8. Bishop (Deadpool Sauron Series)

As a 90s teen, I thought Bishop was just about the coolest thing in the world growing up. The character has had his ups and downs (well, more downs) in the past two decades, but it’s a real treat to get an updated 6” Bishop figure with long hair, scarf, BFG and classic costume.

7. Sabertooth (X-Men Apocalypse Series)

Hasbro debuted two new Apocalypse wave figures at New York Toy Fair, and one of them makes my top 10 list. While I wasn’t as impressed as I expected by the All-New All-Different Magneto, this 90s-looking Sabertooth does the trick for me. A worthy update of the Toybiz Series 5 Sabertooth after around a decade and a half. Terrific stuff.

6. Doc Ock (Spider-Man SP//DR Series)

There are some nice figures in the Marvel Legends 2018 Spider-Man Wave 2 series, but Doc Ock is the only one from the SP//DR series to make this list. The sculpt and proportions on this Marvel Legends Doctor Octopus look spot-on, and I like that the tentacles are interchangeable (though I would have preferred strong bendable tentacles).

5. Pepper Potts (10 Years of Marvel Studios Legends)

Iron Man 3 is my second-favorite Marvel movie, so I was on cloud nine to finally see a Marvel Legends Pepper Potts announced. Hasbro picked the perfect “action scene” Gwyneth Paltrow, although honestly, the real attraction here is being able to own a 6” figure of the hottest woman in the MCU (sorry, Natalie Portman).

4. Ronan (10 Years of Marvel Studios Legends) 

When Hasbro released their first-ever Guardians of the Galaxy Legends series back in 2014, something was missing from the set. Oh yeah—a villain. We finally got Yondu and Nebula figures last year, but fans feared the ship had sailed on a Marvel Legends Ronan. Thankfully, that’s not the case—Lee Pace is captured wonderfully in this picture-perfect exclusive Ronan the Accuser movie figure that’s already up for order.

3.  Yellowjacket (10 Years of Marvel Studios Legends)

A second Ant-Man character managed to make my list—craziness! While I thought the actual Yellowjacket character in the Ant-Man movie was your typical poorly-developed villain, his costume was damn cool. I was always disappointed no toy company gave us a good Yellowjacket figure—but now we’ve got a downright masterpiece of one. Sweetness.

2. Mandarin (10 Years of Marvel Studios Legends)

Please don’t throw rocks at me. =P

I fell in love with the subversive elements of Iron Man 3 when I first saw it, and one of the primary things I loved about the movie was Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin. The likeness on this figure is fantastic, and it’s nice to finally got a movie Mandarin figure after Hasbro first showed one off four years ago.

1. Sauron Build-A-Figure (Deadpool Wave 2) 

When I walked up to the Sauron BAF, my drooly jaw just about hit the floor. The detail on this figure is absolutely incredible, and finally getting a 6” Sauron the Dinosaur Man is just… wow, there are no words. This is a beauty of a mutant pterodactyl man, and easily my most-anticipated Hasbro figure of the year thus far.
