I’m finishing up my coverage of New York Toy Fair 2019 this week, and I’ve saved the best for last from Hasbro: the “80 Years of Marvel” Legends series! Composed of 17 total figures, I’ll split my previews between the comic and movie figures and focus first on the 10 Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary movie Figures—including Peggy Carter, Korg, Grandmaster, Iron Spider with Mecha-Legs and more!

There was a great disturbance in the Marvel Legends collecting world this week, as what felt like millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror as their Amazon pre-orders for Professor X were unexpectedly mass-cancelled. That was definitely a bit of a surprise twist–but don’t worry, you can still get a PO for Xavier online from BBTS. But while we all re-order and wait for Professor X to arrive, let’s take a look at the final Riders figure for the year: Marvel Legends Ultimate WWII Captain America & Motorcycle!

I’m edging closer and closer to having discussed every new Marvel Legends figure that Hasbro has on display at New York Toy Fair 2019, and today I’m taking a look at not one, but two, waves that are heading our way this spring! Both series still have several figures (including the BAFs) mysteriously under wraps for an obvious reason—because it’s the Avengers Endgame Marvel Legends Series 1 & 2, including Shuri, Ebony Maw and more!

Earlier this week I talked about two mega-ton reveals that Mezco Toyz announced at New York Toy Fair 2019 and didn’t show (ONE:12 Collective Moon Knight and Gambit), but there’s still one figure that they did show at NYTF I need to talk about and post my hi-res photos of. And weirdly enough, it just so happens Mezco has officially solicited that figure today: the ONE:12 Collective Captain Marvel figure is now up for order! And with a portrait like that—look out Hot Toys!

While Mezco Toyz had some of the biggest show-stopping premieres at New York Toy Fair 2019 (including the insanely cool Ghost Rider & Motorcycle set), they didn’t have quite as many never-before-seen Marvel ONE:12 Collective figures on display at their booth as many fans might have liked. But while the in-person reviews may have disappointed some, a couple unexpected reveals in the 2019 catalog are likely to blow a lot of minds—Marvel ONE:12 Collective Gambit and Moon Knight!

We’re just about two weeks to the minute away from the hotly-awaited Captain Marvel movie hitting theaters, and so the time was ripe over the weekend for Diamond Select Toys to finally reveal their first non-Minimates Captain Marvel products at New York Toy Fair 2019! The Marvel Select Captain Marvel that went up for PO earlier this winter proudly debuted, as did a previously unannounced Marvel Gallery PVC statue…

Next up for discussion from the multitude of new series of Marvel Legends figures revealed by Hasbro at New York Toy Fair 2019 is the second (of most likely two) Spider-Man Marvel Legends series for the year! Whereas the first wave of the year had everyone buying it to get the Kingpin Build-A-Figure parts, I think every individual figure for this wave will be popular when pre-orders open up later this year…

The Vintage X-Men Marvel Legends Series I discussed yesterday wasn’t the only heavily-rumored wave of figures that Hasbro officially confirmed at the 2019 Toy Fair over the weekend: the much-speculated 2019 Marvel Legends X-Force Wave is also coming to fruition with an eclectic group of characters including Nightcrawler, Cannonball, Mr. Sinister, Boom Boom and more!

Now that I’m back home from NYC, I can really dig in and look at the enormous number of reveals that occurred at New York Toy Fair 2019. I’ll be discussing every company at length, but I know the one folks want to hear about most is Hasbro. I’ll begin with a series that was hotly-rumored and finally confirmed at the Hasbro media event over the weekend (minutes after the ML X-Men series with Beast, Gambit and Jubilee opened for PO): the Marvel Legends X-Men Vintage Series featuring Cyclops, Silver Samurai, Dazzler and more!
