It’s been 10 long months since the last time Hasbro announced a new Marvel Legends Build-A-Figure series, but those who held onto hope have been rewarded! At NYCC 2025 this week, a wild all-new wave has now been revealed and put up for order: the Marvel Legends Executioner Series featuring Enchantress, Werewolf by Night, Phantom Rider and more! This just might be the weirdest BAF wave ever!

The leakers were out in full force for some time prior to New York Comic Con 2025, so the big excitement about this wave wasn’t the announcement of the characters in it (who everyone really knew), but rather seeing whether such a bizarre lineup could be true at at all.
But now the 2025 NYCC Hasbro panel has come and gone, and the veracity of the leaked listings has been confirmed. Let’s take a look…
First off, we’ve got the true headliner for this wave: the comics-based Marvel Legends Skurge the Executioner Build-A-Figure.

The Executioner has been at the top of many collectors’ wish lists for years, and a lot of fans are gonna be frustrated that he’s a BAF in a mostly unrelated wave. He’s big and looking great, beyond being an expensive ask since you need to buy 6 other $28 figures to build him.
The one other Asgardian in this wave is the Enchantress, who almost thematically has to be available in a wave with Skurge as the Build-A-Figure.

I was mostly happy with the first Enchantress I reviewed in 2016, although after a near-decade I don’t mind getting an upgraded version. The new Enchantress comes with a fresh new magic effects piece that looks more supernatural, as well as alternate hands and the biggest piece of the Executioner BAF (the body).

 

I don’t know that this Amora is necessarily a huge improvement over the one we got in the Dormammu wave—but it was a sort of mandatory inclusion for an Executioner series, and I think fans who didn’t get that Enchantress will be happy to get this one.

Iron Man Mark 72 was most likely not a hotly-demanded Iron Man variant, but I for one am totally hyped to get this design just about a year after its comic book debut.

For those raising an eyebrow at this variant, the Mark 72 is the Mysterium Iron Man armor from the Gerry Duggan comics at the tail-end of the X-Men Krakoa saga. I was hardcore into Krakoa, so getting this key armor Tony Stark wore (while married to Emma Frost!) is like candy for me. Love it.

Whereas the next figure sort of looks like candy with his translucent green plastic, and will also serve as a treat for a swath of classic 80s comic book fans. Following last year’s surprisingly popular release of Crystar, we’ll be kicking off 2026 with his BFF: Marvel Legends Warbow!

I think we all know ML Warbow is only happening because most of the Crystar parts can be reused, but the eyepatch adorned archer looks fun nonetheless (and necessary to build Executioner). This is almost certainly the last toy that will ever be made from the Crystar franchise, so I can’t begrudge ultra-obscure Warbow too much for existing.

And speaking of obscure niche characters, we’ve got Phantom Rider, the original Ghost Rider. I first learned about this western character when Randy Bowen made a Bowen Designs Original Ghost Rider mini bust a couple decades ago, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Design-wise, this might be the coolest figure in the set.

It’s a bit of a bummer we’re not getting a flaming horse for Carter Slade at this time, but the imagery of the all-white dual revolver-wielding cowboy is just too cool. It’s a shame Hasbro couldn’t have just labeled this “Ghost Rider”—I’d love to see Phantom Rider sell like hotcakes to make a horse more realistic.

Werewolf by Night makes an appearance in this wacky lineup as well, marking his first Marvel Legends action figure since the Toybiz days.

Sadly, I’m not too chuffed with what we’re actually getting here. The new Werewolf by Night is stunningly not fully pin-less, and also comes with a whopping zero accessories beyond an Executioner arm and hand. For $28 MSRP, I think Hasbro could have probably given us a bit more here. It’s unfortunate it’ll be many years if ever before this lycanthrope gets another comics-based figure.

Dark Spider-Man swings into this assortment as well, but not necessarily the iteration that’s most recognizable. This is the 2010s Ai Apaec Dark Spider-Man, the Peruvian God of the Sky. Ai Apaec was part of the second, far less popular Dark Avengers team, so I didn’t really expect this character to be one Hasbro tackled.

I appreciate the slick look of Ai Apaec Spider-Man and the swappable heads with vastly different eyes. Even being a character relatively unknown to the masses, I think this figure will still be quite popular. I’m looking forward to the Dark Hawkeye I have a hunch will finally show up in 2026.

The new Marvel Legends Dark Spider-Man hopefully brings us one step closer to a better version of Doppelgänger Spider-Man being released, because I don’t think Hasbro quite nailed Doppelgänger yet.

The last figure in the wave does not include an Executioner Build-A-Figure piece (thank the Maker), and thus isn’t a compulsory purchase: World War II Wolverine. Yes, just when you thought Hasbro was running out of Logan variants, WWII Wolverine has hit the scene.

I think there’s some niche market for historical figures like this one, and Wolverine always sells, so this action figure may actually end up somehow being the best-seller in the wave. It’s not for me, but congrats to those wanting a military Logan action figure.

The Marvel Legends Executioner Build-A-Figure Series is now up for order and will be shipping out this winter. What figures in this wave, if any, will you be buying? Anyone planning to complete the whole set and build the Executioner BAF?
