When the Avengers Infinity War movie hit theaters two years ago, it introduced millions and millions of fans to villains that non-comic book readers were likely not very familiar with: the Black Order. The four “Children of Thanos” turned out to be a prominent and powerful force in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the figures of the quarter were spread out over a year and very difficult for many fans to acquire. But Hasbro has come to the rescue of those collectors in need: an Amazon EXCLUSIVE Marvel Legends Children of Thanos box set containing the whole Black Order–and an updated Endgame Thanos!–is now up for order!

Just when I thought that the new Spider-Man Legends Black Cat Retro exclusive announced earlier this week might be the final surprise that Hasbro had up their sleeves for the Marvel Legends 2020 lineup, they go ahead and reveal and launch pre-orders out of nowhere for what’s sure to be one of the most-demanded movie set multi-packs ever: the Children of Thanos Amazon Exclusive 5-Pack!

Let’s take a look at the five figures that make up this set, and what makes them different from their original releases…

The artwork on the back of the box for this set is just stunning. I wouldn’t mind if Hasbro offered an art print of this image, honestly! Looks amazing.

The ML “Children of Thanos” figures set includes updated versions of the following:

• Proxima Midnight
• Corvus Glaive
• Thanos
• Ebony Maw
• Cull Obsidian

There’s no way that this set would have been made without a figure of Thanos himself being included, but I’m pleased that Hasbro is at least giving us a refreshed versions of the movie Thanos Legends figure as part of this pack (the third release of this basic mold).

The paint deco itself looks to have been improved a bit, but the big prize here is the all-new “burnt” left arm and “burnt” face, damage that Thanos sustained by utilizing the full power of the Infinity Gauntlet. It wouldn’t have made a ton of sense to make the rest of the Black Order and not include the Mad Titan himself in a set of this nature, and I’m okay with this somewhat new release.

Corvus Glaive was previously only released as part of a difficult to find Walmart exclusive 2-Pack with Infinity War Loki, so fans who missed out will be pleased to have another crack at Proxima’s beau. The paint looks tremendous on this version.

Far and away the biggest “carrot” to sell this set to fans who already own all of the characters is the new Marvel Legends Cull Obsidian figure, which is hugely different from the more comics-based Build-A-Figure in the hard-to-find 2018 series. This is infinitely closer to what fans saw in the movie than the previous version of Cull Obsidian, and I can see many fans who already have the BAF drooling over this release.

Ebony Maw looks largely unchanged from his 2019 release to me. Maybe his paint deco is subtly improved, but of all the figures in this set, this is the one I feel the least tickled about.

And finally, we have a much-improved repaint of ML Proxima Midnight. The colors were completely off on the prior version of Proxima, and this is definitely an upgrade over what we saw previously.

The Marvel Legends Black Order Children of Thanos 5-Pack is now up for order exclusively on Amazon, and is scheduled to ship in mid-December 2020 (just in time for the holidays!). The set is priced at $119.99, which seems fair since it contains two previous Build-A-Figures and two figures that were priced higher as exclusives last year.

How do you feel about this complete lineup of the Black Order in one box set, Marvel Legends fans? Did you miss out on collecting these villains the first time out and have some level of excitement about getting them in one shot now?
