Hasbro today is holding a new live-stream with the Hasbro Marvel Legends brand team (
Ryan, Dan, &
Dwight) which you can check out below. We expect one of the main reveals for today will be the new
Marvel Legends Fantastic Four Retro Cardback wave which will include figures of
Reed Richards, Johnny Storm, Sue Richards And
The Thing in their classic dark navy classic costumes as well as figures of
High Evolutionary and
Psycho-Man. I am sure the team will have a couple of other surprises as well along with updating us on the
Haslab Galactus project which just surpassed 11k backers today. As I type this it has 11,049 backers of the 14k minimum needed to be fully funded. It will need 16k backers to unlock the recently revealed
Frankie Raye Nova figure which I am sure they will show off today.
Look for the
Fantastic Four Retro Cardback wave to go up for pre-order tomorrow (8/10) at 1pm at most online etailers.
The panel begins talking Fantastic Four and how this year is it's 60th anniversary.
Talking about the Retro Cardback Dr. Doom they released last year.
They revealed the FF Retro wave which does include The
FF team members along with
High Evolutionary and
Psycho-Man. They are also doing a translucent clear Sue as a Pulse exclusive.
The Human Torch in the retro wave is a flame-on version. The de-powered version that was teased before will also be released as a Pulse exclusive. Both Pulse exclusive also go up for pre-order tomorrow (8/10) at 1pm ET.
Haslab Galactus update - Nova will come with a fire base that locks into the Galactus Hand. It will also work with other fire live characters. Nova will not be released on its own in 2022 and they want to only release her with Galactus.
Army Builder Black Hand Ninja goes up for pre-order tomorrow at 1pm ET on Pulse.
X-Force Domino and Cannon Ball 2-Pack will be a ShopDisney exclusive. Rictor is also coming. This is a 3-pack that will also be on Pulse. WIll go up for pre-order at 1pm ET on both sites.
They teased a hand to end things. Possibly a hand for a Spider-Man Animated Series Morbius figure.
Panel ends

So true and so sad. There is so much lost potential with the Fantastic Four Legends figures. They need an impressive update.
Its a team with a rich field of opportunity....alternative costumes, equipment, etc. Look at all the characters they've influenced: the Sub-Mariner, the Silver Surfer, the Black Panther, the Inhumans, the Skrulls. Galactus and the Heralds. Negative Zone, Annihilus, Blastarr. The Frightful Four. Agatha Harkness. Thundra, Arkon. Of course, Dr. Doom.
I'd like to see the core team redone, and in proper scale to each other.
For me, this was one of the most disappointing waves ever. The classic, iconic team such as this deserved way better.

An obscure, likely difficult figure to do, that has very little re-use potential, but still they did a truly great job. Well done.

I concur with Atlantis and SpiderS. Psycho Man and High Evolutionary are both two of my favorite figures in recent history. I'm also quite fond of this Human Torch. It's still somewhat surprising to me that these went to such deep clearance - almost at an Eternals movie wave like level!
I never got any of the Walgreens F4 figures, so I probably like this Retro/Vintage wave more than those who did. Honestly though when they put Franklin and Valeria in the Negative Zone black costumes that clinched for me that the Super Skrull wave versions of the main team would be what I would be displaying in my collection (even though I strongly prefer the classic blue and whites).
I also somewhat foolishly believed that the High Evolutionary comic figure would be more in demand after he appeared in GOTG3, especially since he didn't get a MCU figure, but I was obviously mistaken.
I think that the Thing is the only figure from this wave that I didn't end up picking multiple of when I found them for under $10. He seemed to be the best seller and the hardest to find of the six, at least here locally. HE, PM and IW were packing the pegs for $7-10 for the longest time!
I can't help but wonder if our next F4 figures will be MCU based (after they debut, of course) rather than comic. That idea honestly saddens me a bit.

Heard about this happening to people. That completely sucks.
