Well, this is certainly a first. For what has got to be one of the oddest reveals in Hasbro Marvel Legends action figures history, we’ve learned of a new Marvel Legends 2014 assortment of figures… from a Japanese magazine. No, really. A hi-res photo has surfaced on the internet that gives us the goods on five all-new, never-before-seen X-Men Marvel Legends 2014 figures (including Stryfe!), as well as what appears to be confirmation that this set will come along with… the long-lost Marvel Legends Jubilee Build-A-Figure!

Hasbro teased at the New York Toy Fair 2014 in February that they still had several series of 2014 Marvel Legends figures left to announce. I had a hunch that one of these series would be an indirect tie-in to the Fox X-Men Days of Future Past movie, and as it turns out, I was right. But while I thought the set might include a comic version of Professor Xavier (seeing as he’s a major part of the new movie), I was totally off the mark in that regard.

The figures included in this 6″ X-Men Marvel Legends Infinite Series Wave appear to be:

• Marvel Legends Marvel NOW! Cyclops (from Brian Michael Bendis’ Uncanny X-Men)
• Marvel Legends Marvel NOW! Storm (from Wolverine and the X-Men)
• Marvel Legends Stryfe (Classic)
• Marvel Legends Magneto (Classic)
• Marvel Legends Wolverine Unmasked (Astonishing X-Men Costume)
• Marvel Legends Jubilee (Build-A-Figure)

If you have a long memory, you may actually remember that the Stryfe Marvel Legends figure was actually first teased way back at New York Comic Con 2011, where a computer-rendered “in-progress” sculpt was shown at the Hasbro Marvel panel (back when Hasbro still cared about NYCC attendees).

This is definitely the finalized version of the sculpt we saw years ago–Stryfe still has the same distinctive sneer as he did three years ago!

As a modern X-Men comics fan I am completely overjoyed to see Marvel NOW Cyclops and Storm Marvel Legends figures coming in 2014. I sort of wish that we were getting the awesome white and silver Marvel NOW! Magneto costume in this wave instead of the traditional red Marvel Legends Magneto figure that we’re getting, but I suppose it has been close to eternity since a classic Magneto Marvel Legends figure was released.

You would assume that this wave would have a sixth figure included (as all the other Marvel Legends 2014 waves thus far have), but there’s no word on who that figure might be. It’s possible it could even be a complete Jubilee figure…? I guess we’ll see! Hasbro will certainly want to officially unveil this set themselves soon now that the cat’s out of the bag.

I’ll post an update when more specific details and information about the 2014 Marvel Legends X-Men Infinite Series of figures is available, and you can ‘Like’ Marvel Toy News on Facebook to have more news and photos beamed right to your Facebook Newsfeed!

Based on our first glimpse at the Marvel Legends 6″ X-Men series of figures, what do you think, Marvel fans? Do these get your Marvel Legends collecting juices flowing, or is this Marvel Legends Jubilee Build-A-Figure wave too “modern” for your tastes?
