Fully revealed this week, McFarlane Marvel pre-posed 1/6 and 1/10 figures are now up for order! Let’s have a peek and see what this new line is all about…

Hulkbuster Iron Man isn’t the raging craze that it was back in 2015, but it’s still a fan-favorite Iron Man armor permutation many fans get excited to see whenever it makes an appearance in Marvel media, or merchandising. And so, as part of their 85th Anniversary lineup, Hasbro is now turning their attention to a comics-based iteration of the armor that they’ve never captured before themselves: the deluxe 2024 Marvel Legends Hulkbuster Iron Man figure is now up for order!

Armored Iron Man villains are few and far between in the 6”Marvel Legends figure line, but to coincide with this week’s Hasbro PulseCon 2023 online event, Hasbro is adding an all-new character to the line! No, it’s not the classic Titanium Man or Crimson Dynamo that fans have been asking for, but it is a character much better suited to being a limited exclusive: after debuting in the Iron Man comics in 2010, a Marvel Legends Detroit Steel figure is flying in for orders during the 2023 PulseCon later this week!

With all the love Marvel Legends has been giving comic book and Disney+ characters lately, fans of primarily the now-classic Infinity Saga Marvel movies may be feeling a bit left out. But Hasbro has a remedy for that—a new full wave of 8 Marvel Legends Infinity Saga figures! Even so, this assortment is likely to draw the ire of many long-time collectors. Old favorite characters like Iron Man Mark II, Stealth Captain America, Bruce Banner and Winter Soldier Black Widow are back up for order today at 1PM EST—but they may look a lot like previous versions of the characters…

Way back in 2010, Hasbro released a classic Crimson Dynamo figure as part of their 4” Iron Man 2 line of action figures. It was a pretty great figure for that scale, and when 6@ Marvel legends returned two years later, collectors hoped a classic Crimson Dynamo would be imminent from Hasbro. 13 years and hundreds of figures later, ol’ Dynamo has still never materialized in classic form (though there was a modern version BAF). But as happens from time to time, Diamond Select Toys is picking up the slack! At SDCC 2023, Marvel Select Crimson Dynamo was revealed to complement their existing Marvel Select Titanium Man!
UPDATE 8/25/2023: Marvel Select Crimson Dynamo is now up for pre-order!

West Coast Avengers was a fresh and exciting concept in 1984 before there had been more Avengers off-shoot teams and comic book series than anyone can count. 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…?

2022 may be the 20th Anniversary of Marvel Legends, but they’re digging a little deeper back for their latest release. Clearly based on the original “Marvel vs. Capcom” video game from 1998, a new version of Marvel Legends War Machine figure is flying in soon! Is this figure going to be a must for gaming fans?

Losing most of my vision (and function of my left side) has altered what and how I collect somewhat. If I can’t see (or lift) enormous statues that are larger than my field of vision, what’s the use in having them, right…? And so, I’ve begun prioritizing smaller, lighter statues such as the 1/10 scale Battle Diorama Series from Iron Studios. And thus, I’ve backtracked to pick up some pieces from the last year or so that I missed—including some statues from Avengers Endgame such as the subject of today’s review: the Iron Studios Endgame Rescue statue is a great value at $105 shipped—should you add this Pepper Potts to your collection?

If there’s one villain that was wronged by the first 19 years of Marvel Legends, it’s Ultron. Toybiz’s long-eared attempt was universally hated, and Hasbro’s first efforts weren’t quite on the ball either. But for this year’s series of Iron Man Marvel Legends, Hasbro finally hit a home run. Ultron quickly sold out through most online retailers, and has been difficult to locate at retail stores. But finally, I had the opportunity to sit down and review my own classic Ultron Marvel Legends Figure!

Note: I began writing this Iron Man Marvel Legends Ironheart figure review in September 2021, but completing and posting it got delayed because, well…
Somewhere during my NYCC 2021 preparations, my brain got it in mind that it would be a swell time to have a series of four consecutive strokes. Ten weeks, two hospitals, 50% of my vision lost, a couple tubes down my throat and one missed New York Comic Con later, I’m finally coherent enough to patch together my thoughts and complete this long overdue review (but please forgive any minor mistakes or typos in my articles for the near future)…
There are few things in collecting life as sobering as realizing you don’t have the strength to force together all the pieces of a Marvel Legends Build-A-Figure while recovering from a [series of four] stroke[s]. But that’s precisely what happened over the weekend, when my wife had to construct the Iron Man Legends Ursa Major figure for me. However, once the deed was done, I got to enjoy the delight of yet another Marvel character I cannot believe Hasbro made a super-articulated action figure of. Is buying almost the entire Marvel Legends Iron Man series to build this Ursa Major BAF worhwhile or just too much to bear? Here’s my review…
