Marvel Legends Riders Captain America & Motorcycle Up for PO!

Hasbro brought the goods at New York Toy Fair 2019 in February, where they debuted dozens of new Marvel Legends figures. But believe it or not, in just the last under five months since then, almost every single one of those toys has gone up for order except the 80th Anniversary Series and a lone Riders set. But we can now cross the latter off the list—the Marvel Legends Ultimate Captain America & WWII Motorcycle set is now up for order!

When the first wave of Marvel Legends Ultimate Riders sets with Black Widow and Ghost Rider didn’t exactly explode off of store shelves and ended up getting mightily discounted, I feared for the future of the sub-series.

But the line has done a sharp U-Turn with the Wolverine motorcycle last year and the Professor X Hoverchair/Deadpool Scooter this year, and now seems to be a hit in its own right! And so, the just-released newest addition to the line may in fact not be the last addition as I previously worried…

Marvel Legends Riders Captain America on WWII Motorcycle SetAfter debuting at the 2019 Toy Fair, Hasbro went radio-silent on this Captain America motorcycle set and I legit started to have trepidations it might not actually happen. But that was premature, as it opened up for POs this week via many online retailers.

I was never into the Ultimates myself, but I do think this is a pretty rad design for Cap. I dig it.

Cap’s motorcycle has an awesome vintage military vibe to it, and is really going to grab some eyes on display. I love the leather saddlebags, and the holster on the front to hold the machine gun is the coolest. This design is a huge win for Hasbro, and I hope the sales for the box set back that up.

Ultimate Captain America Marvel Legends Figure with Helmet OffThe Marvel Legends Riders Captain America and Motorcycle set is now up for order, and seems to be in-stock for shipping right now from the Hasbro Pulse. Other fan-favorite sites like BBTS and EE have it up for order as well, although it still seems to just be a “pre-order” on other collectibles sites rather than actually being in-stock. I never saw the Wolverine cycle in a store at all, so I’ve taken to ordering these vehicle sets online myself.

What do you think of this sixth entry in the Ultimate Riders sub-line, Marvel Legends collectors? Which releases from this series have you picked up to-date, and will you be snagging Cap? What vehicles that could fit into this price-range and packaging style would you still like to see done?

Marvel Legends Riders Captain America & Motorcycle Up for PO! — 10 Comments

  1. I pre-ordered on Tuesday from Pulse and it shipped already. I should have it tomorrow. I’m psyched.

  2. Looks good but I will pass unless it reaches the discounts of legend that the previous ultimate riders achieved

  3. I’m definitely going to try to get this just because it looks like ww1 captain America and I don’t have any of those figures yet so I need to add at least one.

  4. I pre-ordered – I only wish the mirrors and the wheels were a matte black instead of the same green as the bike

  5. This is the same exact motorcycle as the Wolverine one, just molded in different colors. Only the windshield piece, and additional box and shotgun holster are different about it.

  6. Sold out in 2 days on Hasbro Pulse. Luckily I was able to preorder through Big Bad.
