But there’s one major character whose toy fate has always seemed cloudy but is now finally getting her day in the plastic sun: the Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends Destiny & Classic Rogue 2-pack is now up for order!

Catching up and summarizing some odds and ends today, in the form of a handful of Hasbro Marvel Legends one-off releases.

Meanwhile, a retooled Song movie Venom is making a comeback at Target, and the long-requested Death’s Head appears as a SDCC 2024 exclusive!

If there’s one superheroine I don’t mind seeing Hasbro upgrade every few years, it’s She-Hulk. But when we saw the initial photos with the pre-order for the 2024 Marvel Legends She-Hulk figure from the Retro Iron Man Series, it looked like we might get the definitive Jennifer Walters that would need upgraded no more. Is the final product Shulkie figure up to that high bar of expectations? Here’s my review…

Anyone who said they had predicted a Strange Tales series on their Marvel Legends 2024 bingo card is probably lying, but Hasbro has subverted expectations once again with a very diverse and eclectic wave of figures featuring a Build-A-Figure Marvel vs. Capcom fans have been dying for: the exclusive Strange Tales Marvel Legends Blackheart Series featuring Hellverine, Moon Knight and more is now up for order!

Cable has had his fair share of Hasbro action figures, though still far less than the copious amount that Toybiz put out. Even so, it’s been over half a decade now since the last comics-based Cable Legends figure was released and demand for the popular character has grown quite high! And so, Nathan Christopher Charles Dayspring Askani’son Summers is finally returning to stores this summer as a headliner in the Marvel Legends Zabu Series. Is Hasbro’s latest Marvel Legends Cable figure their best? Here’s my review…

Nothing makes you feel old quite the same as realizing a comic book character who’s still “brand new” in your mind is actually 17 years old now. Such is the case with the deluxe Marvel Legends Skaar figure that’s up for pre-order today, exclusively via fan channel outlets (no Target or Walmart, sorry)! Hasbro released a Skaar figure before long, long ago—is it worth upgrading the Son of Hulk on your shelf to this modern iteration?

Marvel Legends 2024 has been a bit light on traditional Build-A-Figure waves, but Hasbro has kept collectors guessing with consistent new reveals and pre-orders nonetheless. This time up, we’ve got a 3-pack of updated villains, going up for sale after just being revealed yesterday: the Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends Cabal set of Dr. Doom, Iron Patriot Norman Osborn and Taskmaster figures is now up for order!

“Slow and steady” wins the race, but I think it’s also an apt descriptor for how Hasbro has team built the Peter David 90s X-Factor team in 6” Marvel Legends form. It’s been 6 years since Marvel Legends Multiple Man kicked off this iteration of X-Factor in the Apocalypse Build-A-Figure Series, but Rahne Sinclair has at last arrived to complete the team. The just-released Marvel Legends Wolfsbane figure has just started shipping as part of the mixed characters Zabu BAF wave—should you snag this long-awaited Scottish werewolf to your collection? Here’s my review…

Hulkbuster Iron Man isn’t the raging craze that it was back in 2015, but it’s still a fan-favorite Iron Man armor permutation many fans get excited to see whenever it makes an appearance in Marvel media, or merchandising. And so, as part of their 85th Anniversary lineup, Hasbro is now turning their attention to a comics-based iteration of the armor that they’ve never captured before themselves: the deluxe 2024 Marvel Legends Hulkbuster Iron Man figure is now up for order!

Carnage has gotten quite a bit of love across collectibles and multimedia over the last several years, but there was one important toy “hole” that still needed to be filled. While Hot Toys and SH Figuarts put their Venom 2 versions up for sale long ago, Hasbro is finally ready to follow suit: the all-huge and all-new Let There Be Carnage Marvel Legends Carnage movie figure is finally up for order!

After a devastating crash-and-burn Haslab campaign, the Spirit of Vengeance is riding into Marvel Legends again! While our collections may be lacking Robbie Reyes now for all-time, the iconic 90s Ghost Rider, Danny Ketch, is back with an awesome updated figure and also a new ride: the Marvel Legends Danny Ketch Ghost Rider & Motorcycle set went up for sale today! Is this hotly-demanded set blazing into your collection, Marvel collectors?
In a world where Luke Cage and Iron Fist have both appeared in multiple major streaming series—and even each had their own individual ones—one might think we’d be swimming in action figures for these genuine Marvel legends. We are not. In fact, it’s been several years since any Iron Fist figure was available, and Hasbro has never released a non-exclusive modern Power Man figure at all. But as part of this year’s celebratory Marvel Legends 85th Anniversary Series, we’re getting updated figures of Luke Cage and Danny Rand, sold as a pair by Hasbro for the first time ever! Are these heroes worth hiring for -your-shelf? Let’s take a look…

Hasbro brought their A-game to this week’s new Hasbro Pulse Marvel Legends stream of figure reveals, but the most immediate ones were for figures semi-confirmed by leaked prototypes that surfaced over the last few weeks. There was quite a bit of buzz surrounding those leaks, but now fans can lock in their reservations and pine away for the actual products: Marvel Legends Superior Spider-Man and Astonishing X-Men Wolverine are now up for order!

X-Men ‘97 is a smash hit, and Hasbro’s excellent tie-in toy line is enjoying massive success as well. As such, I’m continuing along with my series of 6” Marvel legends X-Men 97 figures with a key member of the team. We’ve had several previous Hasbro action figures of her in 90s Jim Lee costume, but is the new X-Men 97 Legends Jean Grey figure the definitive version of the character?

The third time may be the charm for a lot of Marvel collectors, as the always-in-demand comic-based Marvel Legends Kingpin figure is now up for order and making his third Hasbro appearance in the last decade. The 2018 Kingpin Build-A-Figure was a hot commodity, and even the 2021 Spider-Man Retro Series version skyrocketed to sell for over twice its retail MSRP. But now new collectors and those who missed out get a fresh chance with the first-ever Marvel Legends Retro figure re-release! Who else would you like to see reissued, Marvel collectors?
