A few weeks ago we told you how a new listing had been discovered by the folks over at
Fwoosh for a new
Marvel Legends Deluxe figure with a $50 price tag similar to what we saw with the most recent
M.O.D.O.K. figure. This listing was posted as follows:
F2992 ($50) – Avengers Deluxe 3 (Aug ’21)
I've done some digging, and while I wish I could tell you exactly what this figure is going to be, the best I've been able to come up with is a listing that calls it
"Hydra Stomper". I don't think that's the actual name of the figure, but likely some kind of description or code name to keep the figures identity concealed.
So we will have wait until
Hasbro officially reveals this one to know exactly what it is. Being it's a deluxe figure, I think it's safe to assume it will be based on a lager character. Whether the name
"Hydra Stomper" is a reference to someone who stomps out Hydra or not is not known.
Just as a
COMPLETE GUESS on my part, I could maybe see the figure being based on the character known as
"Hammer". He was part of a group created by
Hydra called the
Hydra 4 who's mission was to kill the Avengers.
Hammer was essentially Hydra's version of
Thor, who is a bigger character. A hammer stomps things, hence the connection to the description. A bit of a stretch I know. How much demand there would be for
Marvel Legends figures based on the
Hydra 4 is not known. I doubt they would be terribly high up on anyone's list, and a $50 price for what essentially would be another
Thor figure seems pretty steep.
Another
GUESS I could possibly see is a new updated
Mandroid figure. This was a suit of armor created for
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. The
S.H.I.E.L.D. organization is known for
stomping out
Hydra.
Hasbro did give us a
Marvel Legends Mandroid figure back in 2014 as a
Build-A-figure. The
Mandroid has had many different looks over the years in the comics, but perhaps
Hasbro would give us a more classic looking yellow version this time around?
Honestly the description
"Hydra Stomper" is just to vague to really know what
Hasbro has in store for us, but what do you hope it is?
UPDATE: Erik writes in with another guess that could be possible, a figure based on the upcoming
What If Disney+ animated series of the non-super soldier Steve Rogers piloted Mark I Iron Man.

Sad to say I'd bet he will look almost the exact same as the Select. so more on the Pudgy toga uncle side of the spectrum, he hasn't really been depicted in that more alien look in a long time, or Hasbro will just laugh in our faces and instead we get Ulana instead, it is a What if Wave

Yeah I was just not up on this thread for a while wondered if things changed, and completely agree a classic Mandroid would be better then this 1 off Hydra stomper, likely to appear for 15 of a 30 minutes show episode, it to me feels kinda sad that things that really deserve to get made, are cast aside for something like a hydra stomper, I know why..but pfff.

The yellow/gold Mandroid would be great to see, but it doesn't justify a $50.00 price tag without some amazing accessories/effects.

Well let's hope someone at Hasbro is thinking as we are, because this is the perfect project for Pulse. Sure there's limited potential for re-use for many of these....I can't see too many characters wrapped up like the Mummy, for example....but that didn't stop them from making figures like the Kree Sentry, which was excellent (even if the wave itself wasn't all that well done).

Yeah that would be nice too.
