UPDATE (2/16/2018): Looks like Hasbro had a little pre-Toy Fair surprise for us tonight, because without warning or fanfare, both the Marvel Legends Captain America & Crossbones two-pack and the Marvel Legends Iron Man Mark VII figure are now up for order online! Looks like this confirms the higher price-points we saw with the previous listings as well. Alas.
ORIGINAL (2/13/2018): Just in case anyone out there wasn’t feeling overwhelmed by the all-consuming avalanche of Marvel Legends coming our way in 2018, listings have now been created out of nowhere on the Walmart website revealing an all-new Legacy of Marvel Studios Marvel Legends series! While most of the listings are still generic and don’t reveal much, we can see at least three figures plain as day: Iron Man Mark IV, Chris Evans and Crossbones!
I’ve resisted talking about that Marvel Legends Infinity Gauntlet (you know the one) so far, but I feel I’ve definitely got to put in a few words about these Marvel Legends Marvel Studios Figures.
First up—remember that rumored movie Crossbones figure that there was even a UPC assigned to way back in 2016? That never made it out? Well… he’s making it out now! Something about the legs on this figure is throwing me off, but the head sculpts and upper body look fantastic.
And Marvel Legends Crossbones is not coming alone—he’s paired in a two-pack with something we never dared dream of: a Marvel Legends Chris Evans Captain America figure with an actual Chris Evans likeness! Yowza!!
Is this a Hot Toys-quality Chris Evans portrait? Um, no. But it’s worlds closer to an actual Chris Evans likeness than anything we’ve seen from Hasbro in the past. Good stuff! The other figure that has been confirmed via these website listings is a new Marvel Legends Iron Man Mark VII figure from the first Avengers movie. Yeah, yeah–I hear the groans. But let’s be real here: we can’t have a Marvel Studios Legends series and not have Iron Man, so it might as well be a great figure of him in an armor we never thought we’d see in 6″ Marvel Legends.
The back flaps open up and everything on this Iron Man Marvel Legends figure! Pretty sweet (as far as Hasbro Iron Man figures go)!
According to the Walmart listings, these are “premium” Marvel Legends—and as such, we’re gonna pay a premium price for them. The single figures are apparently priced at $24.99, with the two-pack(s) at $49.99.
I ordinarily loathe to see another price increase, but if that five dollars means more unique tooling, better paint applications and a Captain America that looks like Chris Evans…? Uh, yeah—take my extra 5 bucks.
Other placeholders listings include “CA1” (Captain America The First Avengers), “THR2” (Thor The Dark World), “AVN3” (Avengers Infinity War), and “AMN1” (Antman). The only Ant-Man movie figure we got from Hasbro was based on early concept art for the costume, so I’ve got high hopes for whatever we’re getting from the movie in this series!
Here’s the official blurb from Walmart’s website: “For ten years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been bringing the mightiest and most beloved characters to life on the big screen. In commemoration of this incredible cinematic collection of the worlds greatest super heroes and super villains, Hasbro has partnered with Marvel Studios to create the Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years line for Marvel Legends, including premium figures from across the MCUs most patriotic, mystical, Hulk-busting, and dance-worthy blockbuster hits. Collect Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years Marvel Legends figures to build the ultimate MCU collection!”
Hopefully we’ll be hearing all of the details regarding this 10 Years of Marvel Studios Marvel Legends Series at New York Toy Fair 2018 this weekend. I’ll be covering the Hasbro press event live from New York City on Saturday, but I’ll be doing most of my at-the-event coverage on social media this year, so make sure to follow the Marvel Toy News Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter Pages if you want the latest news and photos as quickly as I can post it up.
Make some noise, MCU fans! Are you delighted to see a double-digit number of 6″ Marvel Legends figures coming our way in 2018 from Marvel Studios movies past and present? What forgotten characters (*cough* Yellowjacket *cough*) would you like to see round out this special 10th Anniversary set?
Ohhhh… Crossbones looks SO GOOD. What to do… Order it when it’s $50, or roll the dice and pick this up in a year when it’s half off!?!?!
Give me an MCU Agent 13 and Pietro!
How can Hasbro nail so many other actors faces but completely fail time and time again with Chris Evans?
They’re getting better!
Yeah… this one looks like the best yet, though.
Quicksilver anyone?
Quicksilver, Quicksilver, Quicksilver along with a Age of Ultron Wanda since the Civil War version is impossible to get
Hopefully that Ant Man is a set that includes Yellowjacket.
Vision!!!
Here’s my wishlist, in order:
Vision. Peggy Carter. Quicksilver. Agent 13. Sif. Red Skull. Ronan. Zemo. Dum Dum Dugan. Wong. Everett Ross. Ulysses Klaue. Yellowjacket.
Ross and/or Klaue could show up in a theoretical second Panther wave, so there’s that. And I’d also like a Hank Pym, but I figure we might get one later with an Ant-Man 2 series.
If we get Klaw, it probably won’t be until Black Panther 2, when he is probably the main villain and becomes the iconic version of Klaw. Because in this movie he just looks like Andy Serkis as far as I can tell (I’m going to by trailers alone). And Hasbro refuses to make MCU figures that just look like a normal dude if they expect them to get a superhero or supervillain version later on.
That’s why they’re waiting for Iron Fist to get a costume for the Netflix figures, for example.
Yet they made Jessica Jones; pretty normal looking.
Right.
Because everyone knows she’s never getting a superhero costume.
I suspect that the infinity War set is the Vision and Scarlet Witch set. So if that’s a two pack then I expect the Thor set to be a two pack 2 with Dark World Thor and Malekith, and the Ant Man set the a movie accurate Ant-Man and Yellowjacket, and the First Avenger set I desperately HOPE is a good WW2 Cap and FINALLY a MCU Red Skull.
That would be great, because Dark World Thor, if I recall correctly, is the best MCU Thor design we’ve had so far, and we need Malekith because we have an insane lack of MCU villains.
And obviously our MCU Ant-Man was based on concept art and didn’t come out great. And Yellowjacket is cool as hell.
Unfortunately that still doesn’t give us a Quiksilver, or a Ronan the Accuser, or an Iron Monger, or an Abomination, or Whiplash….
Pure speculation on my part. I haven’t gone and looked anything up. Could be entirely wrong.
I personally hope we get a set per movie:
GOTG: Star Lord and Ronan
Civil War: Crossbones and Cap
Age of Ultron: Quicksilver and Ultron
Iron Man: MK 2 and Iron Monger
Thor: Loki and Sif
Thor 2: Malekith and Thor
Ant-Man: Yellowjacket and Ant-Man
Cap 1: Cap and Red Skull
Iron Man 2: Whiplash and MK 5
Iron Man 3: Pepper and Killian
Cap 2: Winter Soldier and Nick Fury
Doctor Strange: Ancient One and Kaecilius
Homecoming: Spidey and Shocker
GOTG 2: Kraglin and Yondu
Ragnarok: Korg and White Suit Valkyrie
I swear to god, if they give us ANOTHER gorram Star-Lord figure….
I want like…. a Nova Corps member and Ronan. Throw in a Howard The Duck as an accessory.
We have SO MANY bloody Star-Lords.
Quicksilver & a better Ultron would be brilliant.
They could do 2 sets for Iron Man 1. A new Mk1 & Mk2, and then Mk3 & Iron Monger.
Thor, yea, a good Loki and Sif would be great.
We also need to somehow get the Warriors Three, Odin, and Heimdall…..and a good Thor 1 Thor figure…. And a Frost Giant BAF. And a Destroyer BAF.
Hell, we just need 2 whole waves for that movie.
Whiplash and Mk5 absolutely.
But which Whiplash? Armored or unarmored?
Iron Man 3 I’d much rather have Trevor as Mandarin and the Starboost suit.
They actually MADE the Mandarin figure and never released it….
Starboost is the coolest looking of all the suits, and since Comicave cancelled their version there has somehow NEVER been a 6″ version.
For Winter Soldier I’d want Agent 13/Sharon Carter and….I dunno… What I REALLY want is the MCU version of Arnim Zola’s robot form that we only saw in Zola’s blueprints.
We already got a Winter Soldier and Fury that were both good enough.
Ancient One and Kaecilius would be cool.
Homecoming…. Shocker, yes. Definitely.
I would’ve said the Iron Spider suit from the end of the movie, but we’re already getting that.
If we get ANOTHER (4th) Homecoming Spidey, I guess he should have his yellow jacket and headphones like he does on all the posters and when he’s locked in the Damage Control vault.
For Guardians 2…. Yea, a jetpack Yondu with a couple new Yondu heads, and I’d say Cosmo The Space Dog.
Cosmo is at the VERY top of my list of Marvel Legends that I want.
Ragnarok I’d say Korg and Surtur or Skurge. We already have a Valkyrie figure that isn’t selling.
If we can get a proper Surtur BAF somehow, then Korg and Skurge, no contest.
Really, I’m just looking for improvements on some old things. A better vol 1 Star Lord. Hell, I’d take a whole 5-pack of updated guardians from my favorite MCU movie. Especially vol1 Gamora and Rocket need upgrades. And Ronan. Definitely Ronan. Brand new Homecoming Spidey mold. I can’t help but think that we’re going to be disappointed with the actual lineup, especially after all this hype and speculation. Hasbro would have to release multiple waves and sets to get out all the characters we want.
The Star-Lord is fine. Just swap the heads with the newer Star-Lord heads and it’s a great figure.
Frankly I don’t care about MCU Gamora. She has an impossibly dull character design. Generic black leather.
For Rocket, sure, the new figure is better, but we still got a GotG1 figure. We can more or less just do an orange repaint of the Guardians 2 figure and be close enough to the Guardians 1 version.
I’d MUCH rather have a Nova Corps dude with a few interchangeable heads, or Cosmo (because he’d be the best Marvel Legends figure).
Ronan is a must.
I’m sure we’ll be disappointed, but Hasbro should just keep this premium “MCU Legacy” line going until they close all the gaps. As long as they raise the quality of sculpts, articulation, accessories, and paint to be worth it, I don’t mind them doing “premium” figures for the stuff we’re missing or want better versions of.
COMPLETELY forgot about Trevor/Mandarin, and you’re right, there was a prototype. He would definitely make my want list.
I can’t believe they found a way to sell me another copy of this goddamn Captain America figure.
Yellowjacket and Peggy Carter are all I ask.
Oh, yea, absolutely. We need a Peggy Carter.
I’d love to have a Dottie Underwood too.
Hmmm. This is definitely an interesting development. Hasbro finally nails Evan’s face, but not liking that clunky Crossbones body even though he’s waaay past due to show up. I’ll pass for now. I’m really wanting a re-release of the Thunderbolts box-set Crossbones figure since Hasbro’s into re-releasing certain formally exclusive figures lately.
Yeah I’m mostly feeling the lack of villains. Yellowjacket, Red Skull, Malekith, Ronan. But, man, if they add an Agent Carter to the Cap1 2-pack, my mind would be blown
That movie needs like three 2-packs.
Rescue Cap (the kite shield and leather jacket version) & Peggy Carter
WW2 Cap & Red Skull
Dum Dum Dugan & Montgomery Falsworth
(I really want ALL the Howling Commandos.)
Is there any concern that these are Walmart exclusives?
I would love to get Quicksilver…and Mandarin even though he turned out the way he did. I think a Yellowjacket is a for sure with Antman. It was such an AWESOME design.
You DO know that Trevor isn’t the real MCU Mandarin, right?
Google “Marvel.One.Shot.All.Hail.The.King on Vimeo” and watch that, if you’re unaware.
Oh yeah…I know. I still want the unreleased figure from a few years back
Yea. They’d just have to give him a new head to keep him from being absurdly outdated looking.
They already made it, so it’d be a frustrating waste to never get it.
Easy, Comic Book Guy. He did say “even though he turned out the way he did”.
Crossbones looks sweet, but he’s got 90 G.I. Joe legs. Where they look like 2 logs and not steamlined to the hip BUT otherwise awesome looking
I think it’s because Crossbones is like a 2-3 year old figure that they just never released.
Did you hear about what’s going on with Collector Corps? I subscribed to the February box weeks ago, way before it sold out, and today they emailed me to tell me that my order was canceled and I’ll get a refund. I’m extremely mad and I’m sure this is happening to many others.
I had heard some peoples’ boxes were canceled and I’m shocked. MCC rarely ever sells out a box period, so for a random box to sell out with no revealed items and not even a clear theme… I just do not know. Craziness. I’ll ask Funko about it at Toy Fair this weekend.
I was pretty mad because I thought I secured my order weeks ago. I’m pretty sure this will be a Black Panther box and I’ll be super disappointed if I miss out. Hopefully they make more and it can be purchased from the members exclusives section.
What? No love for GSP`s Bartoc the Leaper? That`d be a sweet figure.
I forgot about him entirely.
Agent 13/Sharon Carter and Batroc would be a pretty good set.
Iron Man ONE and yes.
Also, Edward Norton Hulk and Terrence Howard War Machine.
Because eff Mark Ruffalo and Don Cheadle.
Norton Hulk? Absolutely. I’d love a figure of that Hulk. Norton Hulk is best Hulk.
Cheadle is INFINITELY better than Howard. Pfffft. Not even close.
Cheadle has zero personality. He’s wooden. Howard is 500 times the actor Cheadle is.
Not in this universe.
I really can’t wait to see who else they reveal. Now that I’m halfway through my Quicksilver custom, it’ll be my luck that they make one.
Does this mean we could Finally get Avengers Age of Ultron Quicksilver!!!!!!!!! Hopefully we get a Ronan the Accuser! Maybe some Chitauri foot soldiers and some Ultron drones!!!😱😱😱
Oh god, I’d love some Ultron drones.
I don’t like Ultron Prime at all, but the Ultron drones were FLAWLESS.
Waiting for 2008 version of Hulk and Abomination.
there are legends version of both of those.
We TECHNICALLY have a Norton Hulk (no MCU Legends Abomination), but let’s be real, we could do waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.
Shot in the dark here… I think we see these mcu versions either single or 2pk.
AOU: Vision / Quicksilver
IM3: Pepper Potts / Mandarin
Thor DW: Odin / Malekith / Thor
DS: Wong / Kaecilius / Ancient One
AM: Ant-Man / Yellowjacket
IM2: Iron Man Mark IV / Whiplash
GOTG: Star Lord / Ronan / Collector
CAFA: Peggy Carter / Red Skull
I HOPE it’s Vision/Quicksilver, but supposedly it’s Vision/Scarlet Witch.
Doubt we’ll get a Pepper Potts.
Wonder if maybe there will be a Heimdall, seems odd the Thor/Valkyrie Ragnarok 2 pack included his sword.
Photos of the Vision/Scarlet Witch (MCU) 2 pack are circulating.
Yup! They’re up on our social media pages as well. Will talk about them on the site when I’m not on the floor at Toy Fair. 🙂
So is the 4″ line pretty much dead then? If so, that’s sad. Not everyone can afford or have room for the 6″ line. They look great, but by the time they really started coming out I just couldn’t start all over.
I’m hoping for a Marvel Studios Hemdall and Odin.
