REVIEW: Marvel Legends Astonishing X-Men Cyclops Figure (2023 Ch’od Series)

Posted on by June 1, 2023
X-Men Legends 2023 Cyclops and Emma Frost Astonishing X-Men Figures

Cyclops may not be an Omega-level mutant in the X-Men comics, but he’s unquestionably an Omega-level X-Men merch seller. Scott Summers sells likes wildfire every time Hasbro releases a 6” Marvel Legends figure of him in any of his closet of costumes, so it’s not shocking that Hasbro is revisiting a popular costume they first released over a decade and a half ago. X-Men Legends Astonishing Cyclops is now arriving. Does this new version surpass the one from the Brood Queen series?

Fans still remember the original WCA comics fondly—which is why Hasbro is celebrating the team’s legacy by opening pre-orders for a new Amazon Exclusive Marvel Legends West Coast Avengers box set! who’s included, and how many of the figures in this 5-pack are ones fans are clamoring for…?

Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Mantis Hasbro Figure vs Adam Warlock

Mantis was a controversial choice to be the Build-A-Figure way back in the Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 series six years ago, but in the 2023 Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Cosmo wave, Mantis finally gets the single-packed shelf presence at retail that she deserves. Is the new GOTG Legends Mantis figure worth adding to your team roster…?

KRAGLIN Marvel Legends REVIEW (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Figures Cosmo Series)

Posted on by May 18, 2023

Kraglin is the sort of character that—played by James Gunn’s brother or not—I’d have insisted anyone who said we’d ever see on retail store shelves was lying. But 9 years later, here we are—and here Marvel Legends Kraglin is on the pegs at Target. Kraglin is also available shipping from online retailers now—is this fourth most famous Ravager worth ordering for yourself?

Marvel Legends Dark Phoenix REVIEW (X-Men Retro Series 2023)

Dark Phoenix Legends Figure Paint Wash Hair Eyes Shading

It may seem like just yesterday that the Toys R Us Exclusive Marvel Legends Dark Phoenix & Cyclops two-pack was in stores, but it was actually six long years (and one Toys R Us bankruptcy) ago. Prices for those figures long ago went wild on the aftermarket, and many fans were left without perhaps the most iconic Marvel female villain of all in their collections. But Hasbro heard the cries and responded, and now the Marvel Legends Dark Phoenix Retro figure is shipping out at a fraction of the price of the original’s aftermarket. But is this updated Jean Grey an upgrade…?

REVIEW: Target Exclusive Marvel Legends YONDU Classic Figure (Guardians of the Galaxy)

Posted on by May 18, 2023
GOTG Marvel Legends Classic Yondu Comic Figure

Hasbro is taking the slow approach to building the classic Guardians of the Galaxy team in Marvel Legends 6” figure form. Six years after Vance Astro made the scene in the 2017 Titus Series, he’s finally getting some backup this year in the form of a Target Exclusive Yondu figure! Is the long-awaited classic archer worth adding to your ranks? Here’s my review of the newly released Yondu…

Marvel Legends Spiral REVIEW (X-Men Legends Retro Series 2023)

Spiral Marvel Legends 2023 Figure Review Close-Up

Spiral is one of those characters I could have happily gone my whole life without buying an action figure of… if she hadn’t been a playable character in the Marvel vs. Capcom video game series. Playing a few minutes of her as a mediocre character there did what decades of comic book appearances as Mojo’s lackey did not, and I knew I’d eventually indulge in a toy of her. I missed the first Target exclusive version 16 years ago, but the six-armed sorceress is back again as part of this year’s X-Men Marvel Legends Retro series! The 2023 Marvel Legends Spiral figure is shipping now—should you scoop her up in all her many-limbed glory?

X-Men Marvel Legends Longshot Retro Series Figure Review (Hasbro 2023)

Posted on by March 5, 2023
Longshot Marvel Legends Hasbro Featured Image

ot is one of those classic X-Men characters that you can count on showing up every few years in a supporting role (most often in some rehashed Mojo plotline), hanging around for a short tenure and then slinking back into his off-page status quo. I don’t mind Longshot’s guest appearances, but I’ve long since given up on any lasting character development or changes to him. But even so, it’s been 17 years since Toybiz made their version of ML Longshot, so I was happy to smash the pre-order button when the Hasbro Marvel Legends 2023 Longshot went up for order. Was it a lucky purchase? Here’s my review…

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Marvel Legends Action Figures

It’s been a long, long time coming, but Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will finally be hitting movie theaters the first week of May 2023. And that means that for the first time in 6 years, we’ll have a new Hasbro Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy figures series on store shelves as well!

And as almost always, a new Marvel movie means a new themed wave of Hasbro action figures! The Ant-Man Marvel Legends 2023 Cassie Lang series is now up for order, featuring movie Ant-Man and Wasp figures, movie Kang, some Z-List comic villains and more!

REVIEW: Marvel Legends Shuri Black Panther Wakanda Forever Movie Figure

Posted on by February 6, 2023
Close-Up of Marvel Legends 2023 Black Panther Shuri

When Hasbro revealed the Black Panther Wakanda Forever Marvel Legends Attuma Series figures, there was clearly something glaringly absent: the titular character of the movie—the new Black Panther. Likely for secrecy reasons, a Shuri Black Panther was not available at launch. But though she was lagging weeks behind, the MCU female Black Panther ML figure still managed to arrive while the MCU movie was in theaters. Marvel Legends The Black Panther Shuri figure is available for purchase now—should you snag one? Here’s my review…

Marvel Legends 2023: Franklin/Valeria Richards! Yondu! PS5 Spider-Man! Squadron Supreme!

2023 Marvel Legends Revealed Fntastic Four PS5 Spider-Man Yondu Squadron Supreme

Hasbro didn’t hit us with a complete blitzkrieg of new Marvel Legends 2023 waves during this first month of the year, limiting themselves to just a singular new Build-A-Figure Series solicited (the X-Men Legends Ch’od BAF Series). But that doesn’t mean Hasbro wasn’t busy, as they instead announced a bunch of one-off releases (and put a few up for order), including Franklin & Valeria Richards, a new Advanced Suit PS5 Spider-Man, classic comics Yondu and more!

REVIEW: Disney+ Marvel Legends Agent Woo Figure (2023 Khonshu BAF Series)

Posted on by January 18, 2023
Marvel Legends Agent Jimmy Woo Figure Review

Sometimes you’re lucky and every figure that comes with a piece of a Marvel Legends Build-A-Figure you want is a character you’d be buying a $25 toy of anyway. And sometimes… sometimes you’re forced to buy Agent Jimmy Woo. Such is the fate of collectors wanting to complete their Marvel Legends Khonshu BAF! Is it worth ordering the newly-released Disney+ Marvel Legends Jimmy Woo figure to do so…?
