Another
Toy Fair has wrapped and with that we have a ton of new
Marvel Legends figures on the way. As with every major show, we like to recap all the things we know are coming as well as a few we think we know are coming.
We will start off with the
basic waves of Marvel Legends figures we know are coming out later this year.
First up is the
Black Widow wave which has already started seeing a limited release. This one will include figures of
Black Widow (Black Costume), Taskmaster, Yelena Belova and
Red Guardian from the upcoming MCU movie. It will also contain comic book based figures of
Crossbones, Winter Soldier, Spymaster and the
Crimson Dynamo Build-A-Figure. If you haven’t already, you can still pre-order it from our sponsor
BigBadToyStore.com.
The next wave due out should be the
Avengers video game one, which will include game based figures of
Captain America, Ms. Marvel and
Iron Man as well as the
Abomination Build-A-Figure. The remaining figures are all comic book based, and they include
Rage, Mach-1, Captain Mar-well and
The Leader. You can pre-order these at our sponsor
BigBadToyStore.com. This wave is slated with an April release.
The
X-Men: Age of Apocalypse wave should be up next, and be out by May. This wave will based on the classic Marvel 90’s storyline and include figures of
Weapon X, Nate Grey (X-Man), Dark Beast, Morph, Sunfire, Wild Child, Jean Grey and the
Sugar Man Build-A-Figure. This wave is also available for pre-order from our sponsor
BigBadToyStore.com.
The next basic wave we know for sure is coming this year from Hasbro is the
X-Force wave. This one includes figures of
Sunspot, Warpath, Deadpool (Blue X-Men Outfit), Black Tom Cassidy and
Maverick. The
Build-A-Figure for this wave will be
Strong Guy. There are likely two more figures slated to be released for this wave. While not officially confirmed by Hasbro yet, it looks like those will be figures of
Shiklah and another version of
Deadpool. We think this wave will be out in the May time frame.
There is also likely going to be a
Venom themed wave out in October, but we don’t yet know what figures will be released in that. It’s possible the
Venomized Mile Morales and
Gwenom figures Hasbro announced could be part of this wave.
A second
Avengers video game wave should be coming. This has not yet been confirmed by Hasbro, and we don’t know for sure the figures slated for it.
We also expect to see at least one
Eternals movie based wave released, but again that is not confirmed by Hasbro, nor do we know any of the figures that will be slated for it.
Hasbro has confirmed a new wave of
Spider-Man figures that will be released this year, all to be packed on retro style
5” Toy Biz Spider-Man Animated Series like cardbacks. The figures they have confirmed for this wave so far include
Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy with alternate
Mary Jane head and a newly sculpted
Spider-Man figure. Other figures rumored for this wave but not yet confirmed by Hasbro include
Daredevil, Electro and
Green Goblin.
Only one new
Deluxe Rider series figure set has been announced so far, and it features a new
Punisher figures on an all black motorcycle.
For single packed
$30 Deluxe Marvel Legends figure you can expect the following.
Red Hulk comic book based figure which is a
Target Store exclusive and is hitting shelves now.
Black Widow Movie Natasha Romanov in white outfit. This figure features a flight stand and a number of different accessories. Look for it to be released soon and is available for pre-order at our sponsor
BigBadToyStore.com.
A
comic book based War Machine with alternate unmasked head, flight stand, two shoulder cannons, wrist cannon and a number of blast effects.
A new
Apocalypse figure from the
Age of Apocalypse storyline featuring two headsculpts.
Power Of X/House Of X Nimrod which will also come with a classic Nimrod head. Hasbro has said this one is not a Build-A-Figure, but would not confirm how it will be released. It’s BAF scale, so if not a Build-A-Figure, we assume that means it will be a Deluxe. That is at least how we are listing this one for now.
For
Fan Channel and store exclusive figures, which has become a major part of the line, this is what we know.
First we have the new
Stan Lee figure which has started to see a limited release already. I don’t know if technically this is a Fan Channel Exclusive, but since it’s not associated with a regular wave and it’s not a deluxe figure, that is where we are sticking it.
Amazon exclusive Wolverine Movie Hugh Jackman Logan figure is available for pre-order on the Amazon website and slated with a September 1 release date.
Gamestop exclusive Gamerverse Avengers game Outback Hulk which is currently only being offered in a bundle with the PS4 and X-Box versions of the game.
HasbroPulse exclusive
Hydra Soldier Army builder.
Target exclusive Deadly Origins Black Widow in white outfit. This figure is up for pre-order on Target’s website and listed with a March 29 release date.
Target exclusive Gamerverse Avengers Game Starboost Armor Iron Man which is available for pre-order on the Target website and slated with an August 1 release date.
Target exclusive X-Men First Appearance Storm with two headsculpts and lightning effect pieces. It’s unclear if this will be released as a single or in some other way. Perhaps as some type of multi-figure release. Storm will feature a new seamless design where the pins on the knees and elbows will be hidden.
Target exclusive Red Hulk was already mentioned above in the Deluxe section and is hitting shelves now.

Walgreens exclusive Iron Man 2020 figure. This figure went up for pre-order on the Walgreens website, but is now listed as unavailable.
Walmart exclusive Grey Suit Black Widow which had been up for pre-order on the Walmart website, but is currently listed as being out of stock.
Walmart exclusive Venomized Captain America.
Walmart exclusive Deadpool 2 Cable movie figure with teddy bear and arsenal. It will be a single carded Walmart exclusive.
Domino will also be single carded, but not exclusive to Walmart.
That then brings us to the next batch of figures. Ones they announced but didn’t really give us specific details on how or where they will be released.
So we know we are getting a
Deadpool movie 2-pack with Deadpool and Negasonic Teenage Warhead.
We are also getting an
X-Men movie 2-pack with Professor X and Magneto. The young versions of Charles and Magneto will feature alternate head sculpts based on their older counterparts. We assume these two packs will be available everywhere.

We are getting a regular movie
Hugh Jackman Wolverine with leather coat and movie
Mystique that comes with an alternate transforming arm. No idea how these two are getting released. These are being released in a sub-type line deal and there is no BAF.
We are getting a modern
Legacy Rogue figure which also will feature the new seamless figure design. This could also be part of that unknown X-Men wave.
We are getting an
Old Man Hawkeye figure which will be the one male figure we know of featuring the seamless figure design and an
Old Man Logan that will come with a
baby Hulk. This will be released as some kind of 2-pack.
Finally Hasbro teased that the
Sentinel will be getting the
Haslab treatment this year and details on that will be released before San Diego Comic Con in June.
There are additional figures that are rumored to be coming that are likely true, but we will leave off this list until we can get better confirmations on them. Even still you can tell that it’s going to be another big year for Marvel Legends. Is your wallet ready????
