Hasbro has been riding the Marvel Legends reissue train the past several weeks, bringing back a number of highly demanded Retro Spider-Man villains like Mysterio, Venom and Lizard. And this week, 4 more previously exclusive Marvel Legends fans have been asking for are making a limited comeback: the Marvel Legends Rictor/Domino/Cannonball  X-Force 3-pack and Retro Animated Spider-Man figure are now up for order from select Fan Channel websites!

It was back in 2021 that Hasbro released a 3-pack crucial to building the iconic 90s X-Force team, a Disney Store exclusive that included key characters like Rictor (his only 6” figure ever made), Domino (in her blue and purple costume that Toybiz made a 5” figure of) and even a Cannonball figure WITH LEGS (unlike the controversial leg-less blasting Cannonball I reviewed in 2019). Don’t worry–the blast effect lower body is also included as an acessory here in case that’s how you want to display Sam!

Unfortunately, when this X-Force set went up for sale exclusively on the Disney Store website, it turned out to be a fiasco. Disney Store ran out of stock much faster than fans expected, orders were cancelled, prices exploded on the aftermarket and there was never a restock… until now, half a decade later.

I definitely don’t believe that these figures are perfect–Cannonball, Domino  and Rictor don’t even feature fully pin-less articulation–but these are crucial characters to complete the team that I genuinely can’t see Hasbro updating in X-Force costumes anytime soon (although a young New Mutants Cannonball definitely seems inevitable right now).

I missed this Disney Store Marvel Legends X-Force 3-pack myself the first go-around due to stock issues, and I won’t do so again. With Feral and Siryn now released, Rictor will finally complete my long-term build of X-Force. Thanks, Hasbro!

Meanwhile, Hasbro is also doing a fresh run of a figure that will complement all those recent Spidey villain re-releases perfectly: the returning cel-shaded Spider-Man figure based on his cartoon look.

This was first released in 2023 as a Walmart exclusive, but was another instance of supply not meeting demand. Aftermarket prices have been north of 50 bucks shipped, so it’s nice to have another crack at cel-shaded Spidey for MSRP.

The Marvel Legends X-Force 3-pack and Cel-Shaded Spider-Man reissues are now up for order and arriving on collectors’ doorsteps this winter. These are fan channel exclusives, meaning they shouldn’t be available at Target, Walmart or Amazon.

Are any of you excited to scoop up one of these major reprints, Marvel collectors? Are there any Hasbro figures you’d still like to see them give another run?
