Walgreens has been getting a lot of fan-demanded Marvel Legends exclusives lately, including Quasar, Nova and Baron Zemo. But their most recent release was a bit of a surprise when announced, as it was a character there didn’t seem to be much hype to see redone right away. Even so, the new Walgreens Exclusive Sentry Marvel Legends figure is now in-stock for ordering online! Time for me to do a review with the power of a million exploding suns…

Although it’s only appeared a handful of times in Marvel comic books, Spider-Man’s temporary spare Fantastic Four costume disguise has gone on to be the stuff of legends, appearing regularly in video games and even occasionally in toy form. The 3.75” Marvel Universe Bag-Man figure was a hard-to-get and coveted figure for ages, but now Hasbro is taking Spidey’s oddest look to the next level with the Target exclusive 6” Marvel Legends Bombastic Bag-Man figure! Does this comedic Spidey toy delight? Here’s my review…

2022 may be the 20th Anniversary of Marvel Legends, but they’re digging a little deeper back for their latest release. Clearly based on the original “Marvel vs. Capcom” video game from 1998, a new version of Marvel Legends War Machine figure is flying in soon! Is this figure going to be a must for gaming fans?

My first foray into the new era of plastic-free packaged Marvel Legends figures was a bit of a disappointment, as I thought the Spider-Man Homecoming Marvel Legends Peter Parker & Ned Leeds two-pack was a mite mediocre overall. But I had high hopes for today’s review of a costume that’s somehow never been done officially in the long-running series: the comic-based Marvel Legends Iron Spider figure has swung in! Is it worth its lofty deluxe price-point…?

Perhaps the singular Marvel item I was most looking forward to seeing in person at NYCC 2022 was the controversial Hasbro Ghost Rider Engine of Vengeance Haslab project. I haven’t talked about the Hell Charger here yet, but I’m ready to now that I’ve had the chance to see the 2022 Marvel Legends Haslab campaign up close and personal…

Hasbro PulseCon this week didn’t exactly bring the sheer avalanche (no, not Avalanche, who it did bring) of new Marvel Legends figures reveals that some fans were hoping for, but it did bring a whole new wave of figures from my favorite corner of the Marvel Universe: Retro X-Men Legends Spiral, Dark Phoenix, Multiple Man, Wolverine and more are now up for order!

Much to the dismay of a vocal contingent of fans and collectors, the plastic-free packaging era of Hasbro Marvel Legends action figures has arrived. All of my toy packaging goes straight to the recycling bin, so I didn’t really expect the switch to bother me much. But now that I have the new Spider-Man Homecoming Marvel Legends Peter Parker and Ned Leeds 2-Pack in-hand, I recognize the shortcomings of these environmentally friendly boxes. Here’s my review of Peter & Ned…

Collectors anxiously look forward to learning the exclusive Marvel Legends figure that comes as part of the annual Marvel Comics Unlimited Plus Membership Kit each year. But fans shan’t have to wait any longer to discover the identity of the 2022 Kit exclusive (although it’s possible they may not be impressed when they do). This year’s “new” figure turns out to be a surprise that nobody was expecting—a slight repaint of a previously-released store exclusive! Traveling through space and time, Marvel Legends Yellow Daredevil is *back*as the 2022 Marvel Unlimited Plus Kit Exclusive action figure!

Despite serving as the primary antagonist in this summer’s Thor Love and Thunder movie, I’m not sure that “Gorr the God Butcher” is ever going to be a household name. Even so, there are still plenty of comic book fans of Gorr who have been anxiously hoping for a comics-based 6” action figure of the character. And those fans’ patience is now being rewarded: a comic book version Marvel Legends Gorr the God Butcher figure is up for order on Amazon exclusively today!

There’s no rest for weary Marvel Legends collectors, as
Hasbro has continued to roll out a couple new 6” Marvel Legends figures for pre-orders despite the reveal and subsequent PO for the Disney+ Legends Khonshu Series earlier this month. Completing the Infinity Ultron Series and giving us a ML Retro Collection packaging type we’ve not seen before from Hasbro, Marvel Legends She-Hulk and Retro Ghost Rider are now up for order!
Along with the wholly unexpected launch of Disney+ Marvel Legends Wave 4 last week, Hasbro announced one more item during that livestream event. And after a week of waiting, the time has come: the Amazon Exclusive Spider-Man & Villains 5-Pack is now up for order, featuring 6” figures of Razorback, Human Fly, Purple Symbiote Ultimate Spider-Man and more!

There have historically been few—if any—full-on members of the main X-Men team that have done less of note than poor Maggott. In fact, Toybiz even revealed a prototype Maggott X-Men action figure in the mid 90s and then quietly scrapped plans to ever produce a toy of the character at all. But two and a half decades later, ol’ Japheth’s time has finally come—is the X-Men Marvel Legends Maggott figure the definitive one-and-done version of the character it needs to be?

Hasbro may not have revealed quite as many never-before-seen Marvel Legends figures as some fans expected at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 last month, but they did show a rather diverse variety of characters. And two of those characters are “team” completing symbiotes that haven’t gotten new figures in 20+ years—until now! We won’t have to go out hunting for Riot and Agony to complete the ML Life Foundation quintet—the Amazon Exclusive Venom, Riot and Agony 3-Pack is now up for order!
