After every major convention event where tons of info gets thrown at you over the course of multiple days we always try to do a recap to make sure the best we can you're all caught up with information. So now that the 2019 New York Toy Fair has come to an end, lets go over what we know for Hasbro's Marvel Legends line.
We already know the first waves of 2019 which includes the
second Black Panther movie assortment as well as the
Captain Marvel Kree Sentry Build-A-Figure and
Spider-Man Kingpin Build-A-Figures are on shelves now. The
6" Hydra Supreme & Arnim Zola Figure 2-Pack has also already hit shelves.
The
Walgreens exclusive Mystique and
Target exclusive Captain Marvel in Starforce outfit figures have already been released overseas and should soon be out here in the US followed by the
Walmart Captain Marvel Binary Form figure. The
Rider Series Professor X and
Deadpool with Scooter have also hit in Canada and again should start seeing release here in the US any day now.
The next wave due out likely will be the first wave of
Marvel Legends themed Avengers figures which will be a mix of comic book based and
Avengers: Endgame figures. This wave should be out towards the end of March. We know the comic book based figures for this wave will include
Citizen V, Living Laser, Hercules, Nighthawk and
Avengers: Infinity War Ebony Maw.
As for the Endgame movie figures, there a number of
RUMORS floating around such as
Captain America, Ronin and a armored
Thanos for the Build-A-Figure.
Hasbro is embargoed from talking about
Endgame so we will likely see the figures leak out onto shelves before we actually get any kind of confirmation from
Hasbro on these.
Following the Avengers wave should be a couple of
Target Exclusive 2-Packs which are slated with
April 21, 2019 release dates. The
Kraven Last Hunt 2-pack we first saw back during the
New York Comic Con with repainted
Kraven The Hunter and
Symbiote Spider-Man figures as well as the recently announced
Spider-Man: Homecoming 2-Pack with
MJ and
Spider-Man with sports blazer.
Both these sets went up for pre-order on the
Target website but are currently listed as sold out.
After that expect to see the first wave of
X-Men figures for
2019 hit shelves. These are due out in May (though we will likely see them out earlier) and will include
Skullbuster, Jim Lee Style Jubilee, Blink, Forge, Weapon X, Jim Lee style Beast and
Gambit. The
Build-A-Figure for this wave will be
Caliban. This wave went up for pre-order this past weekend at places like
Megalopolis.Toys.
While we don't know for sure, we suspect the next things we will see hit shelves will be the first
X-Force wave of 2019 and second Spider-Man wave. We know the X-Force wave will include
Guardian, Boom Boom with gum (gum not shown),
Cannonball with blast effect,
Nightcrawler with non-bendy-wire tail and
Mr. Sinister. There should be two more figure announced for this wave and we suspect the
Build-A-Figure will be
Mr. Sinister. One of the final figures for this wave which strangely was not mentioned this weekend might be the
Wendigo we saw last year at the
Canadian Fan Expo, though that seems like a Build-A-Figure candidate as well.
Honestly I totally forgot about
Wendigo during the
Hasbro Toy Fair event or I would have asked them about it there. Also I know some are annoyed about
Cannonball not having actual legs. I saw nothing indicating alternate legs would be included with the figure, but I also did not actually confirm with Hasbro he would not include them. Lets hope Hasbro does add legs with the figure along with the blast effect piece.
For the second wave of Spider-Man based figures we know for sure that this wave will include two figures from the new
Spider-Man: Far From Home movie with
Spider-Man in his updated regular suit and
Stealth Suit Spider-Man. For comic figures we will see
Classic Julia Carpenter Spider-Woman, Doppelganger Spider-Man, Hydro-Man with removable puddle feet and alternate water arms and
Scorpion with 13" bendy wire tail and new sculpt. There is likely 2 more figures for this wave yet to be revealed. My guess is at least one will be a movie figure of
Mysterio, but we will have to see. If any of the figures that have already been revealed for the wave are the Build-A-Figure, the likely candidate would be
Hydro-Man.
We could also conceivably see the second
Avengers themed wave hit around this time as well which will likely be during that summer time frame. This wave we know will include the
Black Panther Movie Shuri as well as comic book based figures of
Loki, Beta-Ray Bill, Union Jack and
Serpent Society member
Rock Python. It's unknown if this will be a six figure wave plus Build-A-Figure or 7 figure wave plus Build-A-Figure. If we go by last year's Avengers figures as an indicator then it would be a six figure wave which would mean the two figures left to reveal, one of which being the Build-A-Figure, that I am guessing will be
Endgame based.
For the
Marvel Legends Rider Series look for
World War II Ultimates Captain America with motorcycle.
For fans of the
Premium Role Play line, look for a new
Ant-Man helmet which will feature 2 LED light modes and will have an adjustable fit option.
There is also another Deadpool Nerf blaster coming to Gamestop which will be done in grey X-Force colors.
Besides the
normal Marvel Legends waves, their will be several
sub-lines released this year. Continuing in the tradition of last year's
Toy Biz tribute wave to the classic 5" figures, they will now do a tribute wave for the classic
Toy Biz 5" X-Men figures as well. This wave will include 6 figures, 4 of which were revealed this past weekend. Those where
Cyclops in blue and white X-Factor outfit and optic blast effect,
Patch (Wolverine),
Silver Samurai and
Dazzler in 90's blue outfit.
These will come in special cardbacks re-creating the packaging from the old Toy Biz line.
There will also be an extension for last year's
MCU 10th Anniversary line. Same thing minus the 10th Anniversary logo since it would now be the 11th Anniversary. This will feature
Captain America: The First Avenger Steve Rogers and
Peggy Carter which will see release as a
Amazon exclusive.
Avengers: Infinity War Loki and
Corvus Glaive which will be released as a
Walmart exclusive.
Then for General release we will see
Avengers: Infinity War Iron Man Mark 50 with floating cannons, shield and arm cannons, along
Iron Spider-Man with mechanical arms. For
Thor Ragnarok look for 2-Packs of an updated
Hela with
Scourge and
Grandmaster with
Korg. Finally for Ant-Man and the Wasp look for a 2-pack featuring
The Ghost and
Louis (Michael Pena) with shrunk down Pym building.
The final sub-line for the year will be celebrating
80 years of Marvel comics and feature 2-Packs of
1st Appearance Wolverine with
Hulk and
Juggernaut with Jim Lee style
Colossus.
Juggernaut will come with an alternate beat up face headsculpt and cracked helmet. Single packs for this lines will include
Alex Ross versions of
Iron Man,
Thor and
Captain America with sculpted chainmail.
Cap will be released as a
Walmart exclusive. These will come in special packaging featuring comic book artwork on it.
If that all wasn't enough, a few additional store exclusives have been announced which includes an
Amazon exclusive Brotherhood of Evil Mutants 3-pack featuring
Magneto, Quicksilver and
Scarlet Witch. This is currently available for
pre-order with a release date of
7/1/19 listed.
For
Walgreens we will see the
Infamous Iron Man (Dr. Doom) and
Emma Frost in black outfit released later this year.
So that's it for now. We still have no word on what this years
San Diego Comic Con exclusive will be or if
Hasbro will do anything for
Haslab. There is also a number of additional reveals that will come during
SDCC and other conventions towards the end of the year. Is you wallet ready and what are you looking most forward to? Let us know in the
