We had a lot of reveals and information released this past weekend during the
2018 San Diego Comic Con for
Hasbro's Marvel Legends line so I have put together this video and article recapping everything for you in one place.
First off
Hasbro confirmed that the
MARVEL STUD10'S: The First Ten Years Iron Man 3 Pepper Potts, Iron Man Mark XXII, and The Mandarin 3-pack which was originally slated to be a Toys R' Us exclusive will now be offered as a
Amazon.com exclusive. The set is currently up for pre-order with a
September 15 release date.
They also confirmed that the
Marvel Legends Days of Future Past 18" Sentinel with Logan figure which was also originally going to be a Toys R' Us exclusive will now be offered on
Amazon for $99.99. The Sentinel will be a repainted one originally done for the Marvel Universe line. Look for it to be released later this year.
Next up
Hasbro revealed a second wave of
6" Marvel Legends Toy Biz Tribute figures. There will be six figures in the wave which includes
Ant-Man, Wasp (blue outfit), Black Panther, Scarlet Spider with unmasked head, Sleeveless
Hawkeye and
Vision with a new cape and random Ultron head. The Wasp figure pays tribute for the very rare Toy Biz Marvel Legends 6" Wasp with blue outfit that only saw a small handful released.
For you
Black Panther movie fans
Hasbro revealed a second wave of
6" Marvel Legends figures. Originally they had not planned on doing a second wave, but since the movie did so well they rushed a second wave into production. The wave will feature all movie figures that includes
Black Panther with new unmasked head,
T'Chaka,
Erik Killmonger in fatigues with removable Wakandian ceremonial mask,
Ulysses Klaue with alternate gun arm,
Vibranium Powered Black Panther and
Ayo with two alternate heads so you can army build the
Wakanda’s Dora Milaje. The Build-A-Figure will be
M'Baku (Man-Ape).
For
Spider-Man fans Hasbro began revealing the figures for the next wall-crawler themed wave. The figures revealed include
Modern Symbiote Spider-Man, Red Goblin, Black Cat, Silver Sable and
Kingpin which is the
Build-A-Figure and feature 3 heads an diamond cane.
The X-Men will be getting another themed wave as well. The figures they revealed for it includes
Reavers member
Skullbuster, Blink and
Gambit. They said
Gambit would have stubble on his face, but the figure they showed did not. I wouldn't be surprised of they don't end up releasing a stubble and non-stubble variant version similar to what we have seen them do with the recent
Mysterio and
Psylocke figures. There were also indications made during Hasbro's panel that Forge and
90's Jim Lee Storm could be possibilities for the wave as well, though that is not confirmed. With
Storm they took a fan poll during the panel to see if people wanted Storm in her silver, white or black outfit. This I could see as another opportunity for Hasbro do do variant versions of. The Build-A-Figure for this wave was not revealed, but again indications were hinted at during the panel that
Strong Guy is a likely candidate. My guess is both
Forge and
Strong Guy will be done in their
X-Factor outfits to go along with the recently released
Multiple Man.
For the
Marvel Legends 6" Riders Series Hasbro announced two new offerings with
Deadpool on a red scooter with
Squirrel-Pool and
Dogpool.
Deadpool will have a new headsculpt. The second set announced was the eagerly anticipated
Professor Xavier in his
90's Hover Chair. The chair will have a removable stand that looks like a blast effect and control panels on the arms.
Professor X will also come with a
Cerebro helmet.
A number of new store exclusives were also announced this past weekend.
They will be re-issuing the previous SDCC exclusive
Magik figure as a
Walgreens exclusive. Magik will come with a sword and translucent Ghostrider like headsculpt and Lockheed.
Walmart will be getting the
Netflix Luke Cage/Claire 2-Pack
Target will get a
Into The Spider-Verse 2-pack featuring
Miles Morales Spider-Man and
Spider-Gwen. The figures will come with masked and unmasked heads as well as alternate hands, web and blast type effects.
Gamestop/Online will see 3 different exclusives. For the
MARVEL STUD10'S Ten Year Line they will be doing a re-release of the
Age Of Ultron Build-A-Figure Ultron figure which will feature a modified headsculpt and better paint applications. For the regular
Marvel Legends line they are releasing an
Archangel figure which is a re-issue of the previous one they did. The figure will come with 3 alternate heads (Four Horsemen Mask, normal blonde hair, blond hair with black around the eyes). The figure will also come with an alternate claw hand attachment for the new
Apocalypse Build-A-Figure. The third exclusive will be an AIM soldier 2-pack similar to the Hydra Soldier one they did last year. The set will come with alternate heads and weapons so you can army build. The AIM 2-Pack is slated for an August release while Ultron and Archangel are due out in December. You can pre-order all three now at
Megalopolis.Toys.
While not specifically mentioned during the con,
Gamestop will also be releasing a
Marvel Legends 6" PS4 Spider-Man game Advance Suit Spider-Man figure.
Everything listed above should be out by the end of 2018 or very early 2019.
Hasbro also made a number of teases for
2019 including an updated
Hercules figure slated for a new Avengers wave. It's unknown if Hercules will be released as a regular figure or a Build-A-Figure.
Hasbro also teased a comic version of
Genis-Vell in his Kree outfit. They would not say what wave it would be released in, but we speculate this is the first figure revealed for the Captain Marvel themed wave Hasbro is likely to do in conjunction with next years Captain Marvel movie.
Hasbro during their panel also showed these slides showing off more teases for 2019. It looks like we will be getting a new
Magneto based on the image of his helmet, possibly re-issuing the recently released black and red outfit version repainted to look like the classic red outfit.
The
2017 Steve Rogers Captain America looks like is getting the figure treatment based on the image of the shield. A new
Arnim Zola seems to be in the works as well based on that camera thing seen on the top of his head. Updated
Mystique appears to be in the works based on the skull belt and possibly a new
Quicksilver based on the headsculpt, though some seem to think its a new headsculpt for
Magneto.
Finally during their Q&A portion of their panel, when asked about finishing out the
MCU Black Order members, they said people wanting those will have their patience rewarded. When I talked to Dwight about them he also indicated how he would like to do a more movie accurate looking Cull Obsidian.
Hasbro also announced they will have a presence at the following conventions this years where they will make additional Marvel Legends reveals.
Unboxing Toy Convention in Mexico - August 4-5
Fan Expo Canada - August 30 - Sept 2
New York Comic Con - Oct 4 - 7 (This will likely be a media event only and they wont have a booth presence)
MCM Comic Con London - Oct 26 - 28
Comic Con Paris - Oct 26 - 28
Lucca Comics & Games Lucca, Tuscany Oct 31 - Nov 4
Hopefully we will see among other things a new
Walgreens exclusive Dr. Doom figure announced at one of these upcoming events.
We will be looking for folks who plan on attending most of these conventions for help in covering the reveals for us, so stay-tuned for more details about that in the days to come.
For those who have been asking about the future of
12" Marvel Legends. While they aren't saying the line is done, they don't have any plans to release any more figures in 2018 or early 2019.
For
4" collectors the only figures currently planned are their
Gameverse 2-packs originally announced back during Toy Fair.
Let us know in the comments section below what you liked or didn't like from the list above and what you hope to see announced later this year.
