Whether it’s an “Avengers movie year” or not, we can always pretty much count on Hasbro to deliver an Avengers Legends series. And next year will be no exception!

Walgreens has been getting a lot of fan-demanded Marvel Legends exclusives lately, including Quasar, Nova and Baron Zemo. But their most recent release was a bit of a surprise when announced, as it was a character there didn’t seem to be much hype to see redone right away. Even so, the new Walgreens Exclusive Sentry Marvel Legends figure is now in-stock for ordering online! Time for me to do a review with the power of a million exploding suns…

Although it’s only appeared a handful of times in Marvel comic books, Spider-Man’s temporary spare Fantastic Four costume disguise has gone on to be the stuff of legends, appearing regularly in video games and even occasionally in toy form.

Does this comedic Spidey toy delight? Here’s my review…

2022 may be the 20th Anniversary of Marvel Legends, but they’re digging a little deeper back for their latest release.

My first foray into the new era of plastic-free packaged Marvel Legends figures was a bit of a disappointment, as I thought the Spider-Man Homecoming Marvel Legends Peter Parker & Ned Leeds two-pack was a mite mediocre overall. But I had high hopes for today’s review of a costume that’s somehow never been done officially in the long-running series: the comic-based Marvel Legends Iron Spider figure has swung in! Is it worth its lofty deluxe price-point…?

It’s been over two years since I last attended a convention, but some things never change—including Diamond Select Toys being one of my first and most-anticipated booths to visit at any event I attend. And just like old times, there was plenty of goodness to be found at NYCC 2022 Diamond Select Toys booth—including upcoming statues of Apocalypse and Invisible Woman from their Marvel Premier Collection and Gallery lineup!

Much to the dismay of a vocal contingent of fans and collectors, the plastic-free packaging era of Hasbro Marvel Legends action figures has arrived. All of my toy packaging goes straight to the recycling bin, so I didn’t really expect the switch to bother me much. But now that I have the new Spider-Man Homecoming Marvel Legends Peter Parker and Ned Leeds 2-Pack in-hand, I recognize the shortcomings of these environmentally friendly boxes. Here’s my review of Peter & Ned…

Collectors anxiously look forward to learning the exclusive Marvel Legends figure that comes as part of the annual Marvel Comics Unlimited Plus Membership Kit each year. But fans shan’t have to wait any longer to discover the identity of the 2022 Kit exclusive (although it’s possible they may not be impressed when they do). This year’s “new” figure turns out to be a surprise that nobody was expecting—a slight repaint of a previously-released store exclusive!

Despite serving as the primary antagonist in this summer’s Thor Love and Thunder movie, I’m not sure that “Gorr the God Butcher” is ever going to be a household name. Even so, there are still plenty of comic book fans of Gorr who have been anxiously hoping for a comics-based 6” action figure of the character. And those fans’ patience is now being rewarded: a comic book version Marvel Legends Gorr the God Butcher figure is up for order on Amazon exclusively today!
