Phoenix is one of the most iconic women in comic book history, so it’s no surprise that she’s frequently being revisited for action figures, movies, statues, toys and more. When Hasbro released a new X-Men Legends Dark Phoenix last year, it was a certainty we’d see green (good) Phoenix sooner than later. But what fans may not have anticipated was this fancy deluxe release! The Marvel Legends Phoenix deluxe figure retails for just under 50 bucks and is shipping now—is this Jean worth half a Ben Franklin? Here’s my review…

The march to the new year is officially on, and as we enter the home stretch, Hasbro is continuing to tease collectors with more Marvel Legends 2025 figures coming our way this winter. Last week, they quietly announced the Marvel Legends Moonstone (Dark Ms. Marvel/Warbird), giving fans the first-ever 6” figure of super-villain Karla Soren in her Dark Avengers costume. And at this week’s Lucca 2024 event in Italy, two more surprises were revealed: Marvel Legends Fabian Cortez (of X-Men fame) and a powered-up version of The Spot from last year’s Across the Spider-Verse movie!

And after their huge premiere of the X-Men 97 Marvel Legends Sentinel at NYCC 2024, they moved on to giving MCU fans a treat over the weekend. After just debuting at Comic Con MCM London, the Captain America Brave New World Marvel Legends Red Hulk, Falcon and Cap go up for order today!

New York Comic Con is not the mecca for toy reveals that it once was, but we haven’t reached a day where collectibles companies are just ignoring it either. And so, while Hasbro didn’t exactly bring out the big guns for their Marvel Legends showing at NYCC 2024, they did bring a solitary BIG gun. Many collectors have been lamenting missing out on the Haslab Sentinel since its 2021 campaign, but now they’ll get another chance at a fresh version of the mutant-hunting machines: the X-Men 97 Marvel Legends Sentinel is now up for order! Will you assemble any of these raucous robots on your shelves?

It’s the first new 6” green Quicksilver figure from Hasbro in 18 years. Should you race to add this green Quicksilver Legends figure to your display?

Vampire Storm is a character I’m quite fond of, but never thought I’d see the day she’d be on my shelf in plastic form. But against the odds Marvel Legends Bloodstorm is real and now shipping out; here’s my review of whether you should own Hasbro’s blood-sucking Ororo Monroe…
Continue Reading →I think it really says something about the Marvel Legends Strange Tales Series that I could reasonably see any of the characters in the wave coming with a severed demon head. But it’s not just anyone that comes with the Marvel Legends Blackheart Build-A-Figure head—it’s the new Moon Knight in his 80s white and gold costume! We’ve had comic book styled Moon Knight Legends figures before—does this one have enough new features to be worth adding to your collection? Here’s my review…
Continue Reading →The first time I saw Hellverine, I thought it was yet another half-assed entry in the continuing modern trend of mash-up characters. After reading Benjamin Percy’s comics about the Wolverine X Ghost Rider character, I was fully sold and ready for a toy. Luckily, I didn’t need to wait long: the Hasbro Marvel Legends Hellverine figure is now starting to ship as part of the Strange Tales Blackheart Series! Here’s my review of the first toy ever of the Weapon of Vengeance…

A Marvel Legends Secret Wars Retro series of figures has been widely rumored all year to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the event, and at PulseCon 2024 last week, Hasbro confirmed it: Marvel Legends Secret Wars Wolverine, Symbiote Spider-Man, The Beyonder, Titania and more are now up for order!

One of the surprise headlines from Hasbro this year was that there would be no 2024 Marvel Legends Haslab crowdfunding campaign. But that’s not to say collectors won’t be getting a preorder for another immense Marvel character to add to their shelves: the Hasbro Pulse exclusive Marvel Legends Dragon Man figure is now up for order! At 10” tall and over 17” wide, Dragon Man is a humongous anthropomorphic dragon boy—will you be adding him to your collection?
Continue Reading →Hasbro has been taking the slow and steady approach throughout 2024, giving Marvel Legends collectors a few little treats each month, rather than hammering fans with wave after wave of figures as in past years. But speaking of past years, this week’s offerings are a blast from the past, bringing back two of the most popular ML of the last half decade: reissues of the X-Men Legends Professor X in Hoverchair and Spider-Man Legends Retro Green Goblin are now up for order!

Among the many unexpected surprises that Hasbro unveiled at SDCC 2024 last month was an exclusive Marvel Legends two-pack of one character we’ve seen in 6” form many times paired with someone we’ve never seen as a toy before! The Marvel Legends Punisher & Bushwacker two-pack is now up for order—will this War Journal set be joining your action figure armory?

UPDATE 8/1/2024: The Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends Doctor Strange, Wong and Bats the Ghost Dog pack is now up for order! Will *you* be getting one?
ORIGINAL: San Diego Comic Con may not be the be-all, end-all of collectibles reveals that it used to be, but even so, SDCC 2024 definitely delivered with a healthy injection of Marvel merchandise to look forward to! And from Hasbro, that means a multitude of new Marvel Legends figures—including upcoming Marvel Legends Crystal & Lockjaw and Doctor Strange & Wong (and Bats the ghost dog) figures!
Continue Reading →It’s been a pretty good year for the Phoenix entity, first getting an origin in the X-Men comics and then the first-ever ongoing Phoenix ongoing comic book series launching this week. But that’s not the only Jean Grey milestone this week! For the first time in many years, Hasbro has a new (not Dark) Marvel Legends Phoenix figure up for order—and it’s a deluxe release with a huge fiery Phoenix Force entity effect base! It’s a bit on the pricey side, but there’s no denying how lovely it is! Will this be flying into your display, Marvel collectors? (Plus: the Demon Sorceress Magik teleports in for a return of her own!)
Continue Reading →There’s no doubt that Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men comic books run was a watershed moment for the merry mutants, and John Cassaday’s costume designs for the x-Men have had enduring popularity as a result. So even though Toybiz released a very nice Astonishing Wolverine in 2005, it’s no shocker to see Hasbro upgrading that iteration of Logan in the 85th Anniversary Marvel Legends series during Wolverine’s own 50th anniversary. The 2024 Marvel Legends Astonishing X-Men Wolverine figure is starting to ship now—is this the ultimate release of this version?
