You have probably heard by now that
Hasbro will be holding another one of their
Fan-Friday live-streams events tomorrow (7/10) for the
Marvel Legends line, but what might we see actually revealed? While we can't say for sure, it is always fun to speculate.
Indications I have heard would suggest this is one X-Men fans will definitely want to tune in for, and that overall this is going to be a good month for Marvel's Mutants.
We
told you before about the clue Marvel Brand Team member
Dan Yun dropped last week, leading us to think details for this image teased back in May would be forthcoming.
Rumors suggest that this image is a tease for
1 of 2 Marvel Legends based SDCC exclusives that are reportedly coming this year. Back in May Hasbro suggested that both SDCC exclusives would be X-Men based and that one would make comic fans happy and the other would make movie fans happy.
Specifically the foot image is thought to be a tease for the
comic based one which is
RUMORED to include members of the
Hellfire Club.
If true, the Club's leader
Sebastian Shaw (The White King) seems almost assured to be included. Other members that have been suggested include
The Black Queen Selene, White Bishop Donald Pierce and
White Queen Emma Frost. The Frost figure would likely feature the character with a more classic look than what we have seen Hasbro give us previously. If a
Hellfire Club set is coming, I hope they also includes the
Black Bishop Harry Leland and
Mastermind Jason Wyngarde. Wyngarde after all played a significant role in the
Dark Phoenix storyline, which is probably what the Hellfire club is most noted for.
As for the second SDCC exclusive set that is supposed to make X-Men movie fans happy, well I have heard nothing remotely concrete for that one. Since this year marks the
20th Anniversary of the release for the first
20th Century Fox X-Men movie, a boxset featuring the X-Men in their black leather outfits makes the most logical sense to me. If they stick to just the first movie, I could envision the set including figures of
Cyclops, Jean, Storm and
Wolverine. They might throw
Rogue in to, but she didn't have a black leather outfit for the first movie.
We already know from Toy Fair back in February that we are getting a two pack with
Professor X and Magneto, which will feature old and young headsculpts for each character.
I've heard whispers that the two-pack along with the other
X-Men movie figures they showed off in February will be going up for pre-order pretty soon. If you forgot, that includes
Logan with Leather Jacket and
Mystique from the first X-Men movie.
There is also the
Amazon Exclusive Logan figure, but that one went up for pre-order back in February and is currently sold out.
Besides X-Men, Hasbro also showed off a number of
Deadpool movie based figures with
Deadpool, Negasonic Teenage Warhead and
Domino. Those I think will be going up for pre-oder later in the month.
Cable is coming to, but he is a
Walmart exclusive, and have no idea when that one will be made available.
Other X-Men related items that were teased during Toy Fair back in February include, a new
Legacy Rogue figure which is
RUMORED to be released in a 2-pack with an updated
Pyro figure. We also saw a new 1st Appearance
Storm figure which is
RUMORED to be released as a two-pack with a new
Thunderbird figure. The Storm set should be released as a
Target store exclusive.
Oh and then their is the
Nimrod figure, which
RUMORS suggest will be released as an
Amazon exclusive 3-pack along with figures of
Psylocke And
Fantomex.
Now I have no idea if
Hasbro will be showing any of these off tomorrow or wait until later in the month for their virtual SDCC reveals. I assume if nothing else the SDCC exclusives will be revealed tomorrow. Would be kind of silly to wait until the actual SDCC event to reveal those.
The thing we think
Hasbro will likely be focusing most of their live-stream video on tomorrow though, is the
Marvel Haslab project they first announced during Toy Fair. All indications are that the
Haslab figure for Marvel will be some kind of
Sentinel. This is based on the tease they gave back during Toy Fair, and then again when Dwight showed us this leg back in May.
We figure the main focus of this week's live-stream will be on the
Haslab project, because back in February they told us this was about the time they would reveal those details. Also in their announcement for this week's video, they say that
Ryan and
Dwight will be joined by
Jesse Falcon, and that they would be sharing
BIG news coming to Marvel Legends. We couldn't help but notice the emphasis they put on word big in the announcement, and it doesn't get much bigger than what will likely be an announcement for the biggest Marvel Legends figure every made.
Whatever is shown or announced tomorrow, we will be sure to bring you complete coverage of it right here on Marvelousnews. Things will be kicking off at 11am ET, so be sure to check back then.
