The trifecta is now complete, as today Hasbro had their third panel at an international convention in under a week—at Lucca Comics & Games 2018! After seemingly accidentally having the final two figures in the Spider-Man Marvel Legends Kingpin Series briefly in the display case at MCM London last week, we were expecting to see that duo officially confirmed today. And now they have been: Marvel Legends Puma and Six-Armed Spider-Man!

Last weekend was a good one for Marvel Legends fans, with six new figures debuting at two different cons! And it’s not over yet, with a few more 2019 figures to be officially revealed at Lucca Comics & Games convention this week! But while we wait, it’s time for me to dig back into my deep cache of this year’s Hasbro figures that I haven’t reviewed yet, and today I’m reviewing one of the biggest (literally and metaphorically speaking) figures of the year: the Marvel Legends Sauron Build-A-Figure is selling for $60+ on the aftermarket–is he worth it?

This is a unique, landmark weekend for Hasbro, because for the very first time ever, they’re unveiling new 2019 Marvel Legends figures at two major international conventions in separate countries in Europe! At Comic Con Paris, we got our first gander at the new Grey Gargoyle and Loki figures. And now, at MCM London, the final figures have been revealed for the first Spider-Man and X-Men waves of 2019: Six-Armed Spider-Man, Puma… and Jim Lee Beast!

Marvel Legends news has been in short supply in the weeks following New York Comic Con 2018, but the drought is over this weekend with two major international events going on–both complete with their own new Marvel Legends 2019 reveals! And from Comic Con Paris today, we got a first look at two classic villains that have been waiting eons to get 6″Hasbro super-articulated figures of their own: the 2019 Marvel Legends Loki (Comic Book Version) and Grey Gargoyle figures!

2018 has been the wildest year on record for Marvel collectors, with more figures and collectibles coming from more different companies than ever before! But of the hundreds upon hundreds of relevant new toys that were released this year, one of the absolutely most impressive, popular and difficult to find in stores has been the Hasbro Marvel Legends Infinity Gauntlet Life-Size Replica. But if you haven’t found this amazing Infinity Gauntlet or ordered one online yet, don’t despair–we’ve teamed up with Entertainment Earth to give away one of these incredible Gauntlets absolutely free! Read on for the details…

My apologies for the large gap in New York Comic Con coverage! I had braces put in this week, and what I thought was going to be a minor irritant ended up sidelining me for days. Alas. But I’m back now, and looking to fill in the NYCC blanks with the last of the Marvel Legends Hasbro brought along to the show: the previously-announced 2019 Marvel Legends Spider-Man Kingpin Series!

I’m ready to move on to taking about other companies’ showings from New York Comic Con 2018, which means it’s time to finish up my Hasbro Marvel Legends 2019 coverage. There were three more new ML 6” figures announced at the event, with one having been all but confirmed months ago and the other two are a complete surprise. Coming our way next year: Marvel Legends Beta Ray Bill, Forge and the… Caliban Build-A-Figure?!

Hasbro hit us with quite a few curveballs at NYCC 2018, and one of them that I definitely did not see coming was the next Marvel Legends two-pack to be announced! Although we got a modern Kraven Legends figures just a few years ago as part of the Rhino Series, that Kraven wasn’t to the liking of a lot of classic fans. But as usual, the Hasbro Marvel team had something up their sleeve to please fans of all eras, and they revealed it at New York Comic-Con: a Marvel Legends Kraven’s Last Hunt two-pack with classic Kraven and Black Costume Spider-Man figures!

New York Comic Con 2018 comes to an end today, and that means I can dig in and start to work on comprehensive coverage of the convention, including the biggest event of the show for Marvel collectors: the NYCC Hasbro Marvel Legends Press Event! This featured an interview Q&A with the Hasbro team and numerous new reveals, including a few that really sold me on one of next year’s ML sets I was previously lukewarm on: the Marvel Legends Deadpool Scooter set now comes with a Bob Agent of Hydra head and more!

Hasbro had plenty of major reveals at their New York Comic Con 2018 Press Event yesterday, but the one that just about brought me to tears is one that was actually revealed on a Marvel livestream: at long last, the first-ever 90s Jim Lee Marvel Legends Jubilee Figure is coming our way next year! And oh yeah—looks like it’s time to start a new team, as Night Thrasher is on the way as well…

Pretty much all of my NYCC 2018 Marvel Legends photos are now posted (or will be posted shortly) on Facebook (with a healthy dose on Instagram and Twitter), and I’ll begin posting about most of them here on the main page over the weekend. But as so many people have asked about this duo, I figured I’d throw up a quick post regarding two of the most-demanded characters revealed by Hasbro at the show: 2019 Marvel Legends Corvus Glaive and Ebony Maw!

The Hasbro NYCC 2018 Marvel Legends Press Event came to a close a few hours ago, and the embargo on news and information from that event is at an end! Most of my photos will be posted on the Marvel Toy News social media pages this afternoon, but I wanted to post about one new reveal particularly—because its on-sale date is today! First hinted at at SDCC, the Exclusive Marvel Legends Arnim Zola & Hydra Captain America set is now up for order!

New York Comic Con 2018 is less than a week away, and as usual, the anticipated pre-NYCC Marvel toy news lull is upon us. But while we wait to see new offerings revealed by Hasbro, Kotobukiya, Diamond Select and more next week, it’s the perfect time for me to dig back into my cache of Marvel Legends figures needing a review. And this time, it’s a figure guaranteed to be one of this year’s most popular figures: Venom Marvel Legends Carnage may be two per case and fairly easy to order online for MSRP , but he may actually (rightfully) be the fastest seller in the Venom series!

UPDATE 9/26/2018: Just like fans never saw the twist coming with the Mandarin in Iron Man 3 (okay, I did, I admit), a lot of collectors never saw it coming when the Marvel Legends Iron Man 3 three-pack went straight from pre-order to out of stock last week and immediately spiked to 180+ bucks on the aftermarket. But fear not, Gwyneth Paltrow fans: the Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends Pepper Potts/Mandarin/Hot Rod Iron Man set is back up for order for MSRP while it lasts!

One of the things that I hear from collectors pretty much every single week is, “I wish Amazon would do pre-orders for upcoming Marvel Legends figures again!” Back in the good old days (okay, like a year or two ago), Amazon was the first place to offer figures like the X-Men Legends Juggernaut Series before any other retailer. Well, it looks like the olden days are back, because the first four Captain Marvel Marvel Legends 2019 figures are now up for order online, including movie Captain Marvel, Young Nick Fury, a Skrull and more!
