Marvel Legends 80 Years Hulk & Wolverine Two-Pack Exclusive Pre-Order!

The new Marvel Legends 80 Years figure reveals and pre-orders over the past two weeks—Cowboy Wolverine and Big Time Spider-Man—have gotten a bit of a varied reaction from fans. But tonight, Hasbro has freshly solicited another item in the series—and I suspect this one will NOT be getting such a tepid response: the Marvel Legends Hulk vs. First Appearance Wolverine Two-Pack is now up for order!

Marvel Legends 80 Years First Appearance Wolverine and Hulk Two Pack Packaged

Hasbro surprised everyone when they revealed an all-new classic comic book styled Marvel Legends Hulk figure the day before New York Toy Fair 2019, and they doubled their money by revealing Hulk would be packed with a First Appearance Wolverine Legends figure the very next day.

Many collectors quickly declared this the best 6” scale Hulk figure ever made, and have been impatiently waiting for the pre-order for the three months since Toy Fair. And while it’s street-dated for August 1st, the time has come to place those orders!

Box Back Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Hulk and Wolverine Box SetAs Hasbro promised, the box set is in fact a shared exclusive between various online retailers such as EE, Hasbro Pulse and BBTS. This set won’t be on the shelf at your local Target or Walmart, so if you usually wait to hunt for the best paint jobs in person, be aware.

Hulk comes with alternate hands and a removable tattered shirt.

Hasbro Toy Fair 2019 First Appearance Wolverine Six Inch Figure1st Appearance Wolverine is obviously going to be the weak link in this duo for the majority of buyers, but I’m glad to get him. I’ve never been willing to shell out for a high-end statue of Logan in his original costume, but I don’t mind getting a super-articulated action figure of him at all. He’ll come with interchangeable retracted claws fists, but no unmasked head. Alas.

Marvel Legends First Appearance Wolverine Figure The one thing about this twin pack that I think may deter some collectors is the price: a $59.99 MSRP (and higher on some online stores). That’s 10 bucks more per figure that we’re accustomed to paying for mass release Marvel Legends singles with Build-A-Figure pieces.

I would still be happier if this set was priced at $50 instead of $60, but I can at least understand the rationale for its pricing. And since it’s an exclusive, there’s no telling if the quantity made will be high enough for it to last until a sale comes around.

Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Hulk vs Wolverine FiguresThe 80 Years of Marvel Legends Wolverine & Hulk two-pack is now up for order, and is scheduled to be released in fall 2019. Unlike the Stealth Suit Spider-Man and Cowboy Wolverine ML figures solicited earlier this month, the buzz and hype surrounding this two-pack is infinitely stronger, so those wanting in on the first shipment of this duo may want to place their PO early on.

Now that it’s up for order, are you in or out for the Legends 80 Years of Marvel Wolverine vs. Hulk two-pack? Do you agree that this is looking like the best classic comic book Hulk figure that Hasbro/Toybiz has done to-date, and will you be picking this up for the full ~$60 MSRP or hoping it gets discounted down the road?

Marvel Legends 80 Years Hulk & Wolverine Two-Pack Exclusive Pre-Order! — 8 Comments

  1. I really hate how they’re only putting 1 up for order per week. Paying for shipping for each of these item individually vs waiting to buy all the products at once while risking not getting them at all.

    • Well, if you ordered through Hasbro Pulse when they first opened the site, then you get free shipping for the whole year!

      I put in a pre-order for this, as I have no Hulk figure, and this IS Hulk! The FA Wolverine kind of sucks, maybe eventually I’ll get a good Logan head, and use it on this body, instead.

    • Hey, not sure if this is true but I saw a comment on Reddit stating that if the set was preordered through Hasbro Pulse, shipping was free. The person guessed that there is a threshold for free shipping, but I can’t confirm that as I have their Pulse Premium offer. Just a heads up!

  2. I really like the fact that Hasbro have ensured that PO and release date is the same world wide. Oh we have to pay $71 to 75 for it, much better them 90 to 100 we used to pay for theme..

  3. Really want that hulk but don’t really care about FA Wolverine so $60+ feels like a steep price to me. OTOH some folks reason that Hulk is basically a BAF, and BAF parts usually go about $10 a piece, so $60 isn’t unreasonable especially with Wolvie thrown in. I dunno, gonna take a chance and skip pre-ordering this for now. I may well regret it later though lol.

    • I bet you Hulk will sell loose $50+.. It’s better to just buy them together.

      • Yeah i agree, especially since this is just e-tailers… if it was a Target exclusive or something i’d have more faith that i’d find it a discount later. Just having trouble pulling the trigger for some reason, lol

  4. Ordered 2 for my household! This is MY Hulk, at last!
    Now, what is important, is getting classic Thor, Iron Man, and Cap to go with him….if only.
