The existence of a 2018 Marvel Legends Deadpool series wasn’t the best-kept secret ever (I guessed it over a year ago and then leaked lists all but confirmed it earlier this year), but at SDCC 2017, we finally got to see most of the figures that will make up the wave. And while the characters revealed may not have been unexpected, the new Marvel Legends X-23, Deathlok, Domino and more are good enough to knock our socks off anyway…

While the majority of the items that Hasbro brought along to officially reveal at San Diego Comic-Con 2017 were unofficially known already due to a widely-circulated leaked list, Hasbro still had some surprises to knock our socks off with. And the two that really threw me for a loop are (of course) store exclusives: the Marvel Legends Defenders box set and Marvel Legends Hydra Troopers army-builder two-pack!

Either the excitement of the Hasbro SDCC 2017 panel was just too much for me or I’m just old (hint: it’s the latter), because I plum fell asleep while in the process of doing the write-ups with the Marvel Legends hi-res photos. But I’m awake again, so let’s kick off the final day of Comic-Con with a look at the first two figures from the 2018 Marvel Legends Black Panther movie series: Black Bolt and Namor!

Hasbro began a new sub-series of Marvel Legends figures earlier this year when they released the first in a series of 6″ Fantastic Four Legends figures exclusive to Walgreens: the Invisible Woman with HERBIE! And while we’re still waiting for the Human Torch to flame into stores and join his sister, we now officially know the next two entries in the line that will be following Johnny Storm: Marvel Legends Mr. Fantastic and… Medusa?!

The main event of San Diego Comic Con 2017 for Marvel Legends collectors has finally arrived! I’ll write up comprehensive listings with details and hi-res images of all these figures as I have the time and official images become available, but for now, here’s a short roundup and recap of all the SDCC 2017 Hasbro Marvel panel reveals…

We interrupt this San Diego Comic Con 2017 coverage to bring you… a review of the final figure in the Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 series! Hasbro’s GOTG 2 series is perhaps their finest lineup of movie 6″ figures ever, but there was one gaping, planet-sized hole that collectors desperately needed to complete that set. And now, he has arrived: the Marvel Legends Ego & Star-Lord two-pack is now shipping from EE! Is it worth buying this pack just for Ego? Read on…

With the all-important Hasbro Marvel panel happening just a few hours from now, I would have totally understood if Hasbro has decided to just not add any new reveals at all to their San Diego Comic Con booth display up until they drop the mega-ton later today. And for the most part, there’s not a whole lot that’s all-new in the booth today–with one key exception! We can add one more to the list of confirmed characters in the Marvel Legends Vintage Series, as the 6″ Vintage Iron Man has now been revealed!
UPDATE: And now Tony Stark has some company in the display case–the Marvel Legends Lasher figure has been added!

Just when I thought that Hasbro was done for the day, they busted out another quartet of previews for upcoming 2018 Marvel Legends figures! Not only did Hasbro decide to show off the hotly-anticipated Marvel Legends Ghost Rider and motorcycle set this afternoon, but they also gave us our first SDCC 2017 tastes of new waves of Avengers and Spider-Man Marvel Legends figures with Gwenpool, Songbird and Spider-Punk!

If there’s one company that knows how to keep collectors coming back each day of San Diego Comic-Con 2017, it’s Hasbro! Even though the Hasbro Marvel panel won’t be until Saturday evening, Hasbro has been strategically adding new items to the display in their booth each day of SDCC 2017. And the Friday of SDCC 2017 has brought us a trio of new treats: a Marvel Legends 12″ Wolverine, a Marvel Legends Vintage Punisher 6″ figure, and even a crazy symbiote head for Venom Deadpool!

I’m sure that tomorrow we’ll be seeing a cornucopia of new Marvel Legends 2018 figures unveiled at the SDCC Hasbro Marvel panel, but in the meantime, other companies get their time in the limelight. And one of those companies is Gentle Giant, who just so happens to produce my absolute favorite Marvel collectibles line: the Skottie Young Marvel Babies statues! And GG brought the goods to SDCC 2017, where they’ve now revealed Marvel Animated Daredevil and Squirrel Girl statues!

While Kotobukiya didn’t manage to pack quite as many new Marvel statue reveals into their SDCC 2017 booth as they have in some years, they did throw us a bone in the form of concept art for five upcoming Marvel statues! If you loved the ARTFX+ Avengers, Spider-Man and X-Men series, get ready: the Kotobukiya ARTFX+ Defenders statues series has now been announced! Plus: Carol Danvers returns for a new Bishoujo Captain Marvel!

I’ve been speculating for well over a year now about the Marvel Legends Deadpool series that I was dead certain was being planned for early 2018 to coincide with the second Deadpool movie, so it was pretty gratifying this morning to finally get concrete confirmation from Hasbro that the rumors are true, and that such a series is officially coming in the winter! While we only got to see about half the lineup so far, it’s a good one, with all-new classic Marvel Legends Domino, Cable and Deadpool figures! Oh, and Black Widow fans…? Hasbro has you covered too!

The drama and pangeantry of San Diego Comic Con 2017 Preview Night is over, and while the big Marvel Legends reveals won’t happen until Saturday night, now we can start taking a look at what has been released thus far–including a full half-dozen Hot Toys Thor Ragnarok sixth scale figures! We saw Loki and Hulk yesterday, but now it’s time for a lady’s touch with Hela and Valkyrie 12″ figures! (And oh yeah–Thor? He’s here too. Twice.)

While Hasbro beat everyone out of the gate by revealing their own Marvel Legends Gladiator Hulk Build-A-Figure a few weeks back, other collectibles companies are finally ready to start pushing their own Thor Ragnarok merchandise as SDCC 2017 begins tonight! And not only will Diamond Select Toys be showing off their latest movie toys at the con–their Marvel Gallery Gladiator Hulk and Valkyrie statues have now gone up for order!
