Marvel Legends collectors are currently in the midst of a civil war (no, not that Civil War) over the second (and latest) release in the Marvel Legends Maximum Series of figures : Maximum Hulk. Priced at a whopping 59 bucks and shipping out now, fans are divided over whether or not Hasbro’s priciest 6” scale Hulk figure is an incredible pickup or not. Here’s my review to give my own input on the issue…

It may be hard for younger comic book fans to imagine, but ROM SpaceKnight was all the rage in the 80s, even crossing over numerous times to interact with the X-Men and Avengers. And now he can officially cross over on collectors’ action figure shelves! Defying the odds, Hasbro’s Marvel Legends ROM figure is now available! Is this unexpected addition to the line a great one? Here’s my review…

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…

Adam Warlock got a major elevation to temporary near-iconic status in the 1990s when he turned out to be the primary universe-saving hero in the now-legendary “The Infinity Gauntlet” series. His star fizzled quickly in the following years, and Adam Warlock has never reached that high level of significance again. But Hasbro is letting Him revisit his greatest moment with the just-released 2025 Marvel Legends Adam Warlock 6” figure. Is Adam Warlock’s return to the spotlight a successful one? Here’s my review…

Crossbones and Madame Masque have had Hasbro Marvel Legends figures before, but both villains had some room for improvement. Is this Amazon Exclusive set a big enough upgrade to warrant *your* dollars, Marvel collectors? Here’s my take on Hasbro’s latest six inch Marvel offering, the Marvel Legends Madame Masque/Crossbones set that went up for pre-order today!

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…

With Hasbro at the top of its game and giving us Marvel Legends with their best articulation, sculpting and character depth ever, we are truly in a golden age of Marvel action figures. But if there’s one deadly threat to this era that’s largely outside Hasbro’s control, it’s tax-induced price increases. And so, though Hasbro just launched pre-orders last week for an awesome Marvel Legends Symbiote Spider-Man figure 18 years in the making, a huge swath of collectors are more awed by the price-tag than the figure itself…

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?

Earlier in the week I talked about the Marvel Legends X-Force Archangel that went up for order today. But there was one other big reveal Hasbro brought to New York Toy Fair, which is also launching today—the life size Marvel Legends Doctor Doom helmet is now up for order!

Daredevil did what once seemed impossible this week by returning to screens with an all-new series, seven years after the end of the original Netflix show. Charlie Cox is back as the man without fear, and now, ol’ hornhead’s merch is back as well!

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…

Hasbro launched their inaugural wave of Marvel Legends Spider-Man 2 GamerVerse figures earlier this week, and now they’ve followed up in rapid succession with what’s unquestionably the singular most-wanted character from the video game: the humongous GamerVerse Marvel Legends Venom figure is now up for order! He’s got an oversized 10.5” year of bulk, but an oversized $59 price-tag as well—is this monster of an action figure worth adding to your collection?

Spider-Man 2 swung onto Sony PlayStation 5 video game consoles way back in October 2923, but fans wanting toy versions of specific new suits and characters from the game have had a bit of a wait. That wait is ending, however, as Hasbro launched orders for their first half-dozen Spider-Man 2 Marvel Legends GamerVerse figures this week! As part of what I think is the most Spidey-loaded Hasbro wave of all-time, 5 Spider-Man variants and Black Cat are now up for PO! Will any of them be joining your collection’s Spider-shelf?
