It’s a quiet day on the news front, which makes it the perfect time to dip back into my big bag of unreviewed action figures. So today, I’m continuing onward with a look at another figure in the X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series. The X-Men Marvel Legends Magneto figure was one of the most-anticipated figures when he was first announced, but does he live up to expectations now that he’s been released and is available for ordering? Here’s my ML Magneto review…

While we’ve gotten a plethora of 6” Marvel Legends Wolverine Figures over the years, fans who’ve started collecting Marvel Legends figures over the last decade may be surprised that there hasn’t been an iconic version of Sabertooth released in all that time. In fact, it’s been 15 years since the Jim Lee Sabertooth had a new action figure released! But those waiting for an upgrade to the old Toybiz Sabertooth need not wait any longer—the X-Men Marvel Legends Sabertooth figure is now available!

I had a little bit of an ulterior motive for talking about the 2019 Marvel Legends Hercules & Genis Captain Marvel Figures this morning.

Because for the first time ever, Hasbro unveiled upcoming Marvel Legends figures at the Unboxing Toy Convention in Mexico: 6” Living Laser, Nighthawk and the Kree Sentry Build-A-Figure!

Before closing the book on SDCC 2018 Marvel Legends coverage, there’s two more new figures that I need to talk about that didn’t logically fit with any of the other waves that have been discussed. Neither is a character that hasn’t been covered before by ML in some form, but I think fans will be in agreement that these are better renditions of these characters. Coming our way in the Avengers & Captain Marvel Marvel Legends waves next year: Hercules & Genis-Vell!

Demand is high and supply at retail still isn’t plentiful, but the X-Men Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series is slowly but surely starting to permeate retail stores. I reviewed the Apocalypse Build-A-Figure last month before I got sidetracked with SDCC 2018, but now it’s back to business and time to play catch-up.

When Hot Toys made a T’Chaka Black Panther sixth scale figure one of their summer convention exclusives, it seemed like a pretty audacious and out-of-left-field pick.

Well, turns out maybe that pick wasn’t as crazy as it seemed–because Hasbro is following suit! As part of their SDCC 2018 festivities, Hasbro has announced Marvel Legends Black Panther Wave 2–including Ulysses Klaue, King T’Chaka and more!

It’s taken almost a full year since the wave started to be unveiled at San Diego Comic Con 2017, but the long-anticipated 2018 Marvel Legends X-Men Apocalypse Series is finally starting to ship out to online retailers and some brick and mortar stores.

The Marvel Legends Apocalypse BAF is selling for north of 100 bucks right now all by himself—is he fit to survive for that kind of money?

Alongside the annual SDCC Exclusive Marvel Legends 6″ figures box set, Hasbro usually has one more exclusive goodie for Marvel collectors.

But this year, it’s something we haven’t gotten before as a Comic-Con Exclusive. The first-ever SDCC Exclusive Marvel Legends life-size replica: the electronic Tesseract–plus a 6″ Red Skull from Captain America: The First Avenger!
