Spider-Boy has been a joyous breath of fresh air in an increasingly grim Marvel Comics universe since Dan Slott retconned him into existence in 2023. Bailey Briggs has quickly leapt into my favorite non-X characters to read about, so I’m hyped to also make him the subject of my first toy review of the year! The 2025 Marvel Legends Spider-Boy figure is now starting to ship out: Should Spider-Man’s kid sidekick join *your* action figure collection?

2025 is coming in fast, and at last week’s year-end Marvel Legends livestream the Hasbro Marvel team showed that they’re ready to ring in the new year in a big way! Two full waves of Marvel Legends 2025 figures debuted on the stream, alongside a multitude of upcoming exclusives. First, let’s take a look at the 2025 Spider-Man Marvel Legends Retro series headlined by Kaine and Chameleon that just went up for order…

Hasbro knows right where to hit old-timers like me with the nostalgic feels.

The third time may be the charm for a lot of Marvel collectors, as the always-in-demand comic-based Marvel Legends Kingpin figure is now up for order and making his third Hasbro appearance in the last decade. The 2018 Kingpin Build-A-Figure was a hot commodity, and even the 2021 Spider-Man Retro Series version skyrocketed to sell for over twice its retail MSRP. But now new collectors and those who missed out get a fresh chance with the first-ever Marvel Legends Retro figure re-release! Who else would you like to see reissued, Marvel collectors?

Marvel Legends Retro Series figures have been a huge hit with collectors, with releases from the X-Men to Spider-Man to the Fantastic Four to even Ghost Rider. With all that success with fans, it comes as no surprise that now Hasbro has opened orders for a full Marvel Legends Iron Man Retro Series, including She-Hulk, Count Nefaria, gold Original Iron Man and more!

After two all-Star reveals for Hasbro’s 1027 stream (plus Last Stand Spider-Man), Hasbro was back again over the weekend at MCM London Comic-Con, revealing the second half of the 2024 Marvel Legends Spider-Man Retro Series!

While the Spider-Man Clone Saga was once a reviled joke among comic fans, characters from that 90s classic have now risen to become some of the most loved in Spider-Man lore. And so, for the third time in a year, a new Ben Reilly figure is on the way—this time in the form of an updated Marvel Legends Scarlet Spider figure! But Ben’s not coming alone: he’ll be joined in the Spider-Man Marvel Legends 2024 Retro lineup by Jack O’ Lantern and Last Stand Spider-Man!

Moon Knight has had a significant surge in popularity in recent years, and while the modern comics and Disney+ MCU looks have had more availability, it’s the classic comic books Moon Knight Legends figure that is most sought after by fans. Thankfully, the fan-favorite vintage-packaged Marvel Legends Retro series now exists, allowing Hasbro to do single releases of in-demand characters. And thus, two new Target Elusive Marvel Legends figures are now up for PO: Moon Knight and… a modified version of last year’s First Appearance Spider-Man?

Sometimes, prominent classic characters like Mephisto and Madelyne Pryor never make it into Marvel Legends figure production at all after decades of requests from fans. And sometimes, we get characters like the demented post-psychoactive goo villainous clone of Spider-Man as toys less than a year and a half after his first appearance. Fair or unfair, the Retro Spider-Man Marvel Legends Chasm figure has started shipping out—is this crazed, mutated Ben Reilly worth adding to your Spidey villains shelf?

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…?

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?

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…

Hasbro promised a strong showing of Heralds to coincide with the release of the mega-sized Haslab Galactus figure this year, and (as long as your favorite herald of Galactus isn’t named Air Walker or Golden Oldie) Hasbro has come through in spades with a new Terrax, the awesome Herald Thor and more—including the subject of today’s review! Retro Marvel Legends Firelord is a long, long overdue addition to the Marvel Legends pantheon—but after 20 years of waiting, is this figure all it could be?

Hasbro PulseCon this week didn’t exactly bring the sheer avalanche (no, not Avalanche, who it did bring) of new Marvel Legends figures reveals that some fans were hoping for, but it did bring a whole new wave of figures from my favorite corner of the Marvel Universe: Retro X-Men Legends Spiral, Dark Phoenix, Multiple Man, Wolverine and more are now up for order!

There’s no rest for weary Marvel Legends collectors, as
Hasbro has continued to roll out a couple new 6” Marvel Legends figures for pre-orders despite the reveal and subsequent PO for the Disney+ Legends Khonshu Series earlier this month. Completing the Infinity Ultron Series and giving us a ML Retro Collection packaging type we’ve not seen before from Hasbro, Marvel Legends She-Hulk and Retro Ghost Rider are now up for order!
