While the majority of the new 6″ Marvel Legends figures that Hasbro announced at SDCC 2017 were expected than unexpected, I don’t think anyone was expecting the three new sixth scale figures premiering at the event. Not only was a Jim Lee Wolverine 12″ figure shown off on display early on in the convention, but during the Hasbro Marvel panel, Marvel Legends 12″ X-Force Deadpool and Agent of Weapon X Deadpool figures were revealed!

Hot Toys caught many collectors–including me–off guard when they debuted not just 1/6 Gladiator Thor at San Diego Comic Con 2017, but also an unexpected Roadworn Thor figure! When there were two versions of Thor for one movie for the second time ever, I had my suspicions the non-gladiator version would be an exclusive. Turns out I was right: the 2017 Toy Fair EXCLUSIVE Roadworn Thor with Surtur Skull is now up for order!

Even though he was neither announced not even teased to debut at the show, the single most-anticipated Hot Toys figure going into San Diego Comic-Con 2017 was the new Gladiator Hulk Movie Masterpiece Series figure. And I have to say: Hot Toys did not disappoint with this massive, incredibly detailed Hulk action figure. Response to the figure was super-positive at SDCC, and now HT is ready to claim their just reward: the Hot Toys Gladiator Hulk sixth scale figure is now up for order!

While we saw various bits and pieces at SDCC 2017 from a number of rumored Marvel Legends series, Hasbro brought one series to Comic-Con that no one was expecting–and it just so happens to be the one series they showed in its entirety! It’s a one-off series for now, but if it’s popular it could become something more: the Marvel Legends Vintage Series, featuring Black Widow, Pizza Spider-Man, Brown Costume Wolverine and more!

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!

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!
