Hasbro the other week during
Pulse-Con and their
1027 events provided a number of partial reveals for
Marvel Legends coming in
2022. While most of these things I've already shared with you before, I thought I would compile everything in one place recapping what has been officially confirmed by
Hasbro and filling in some of the blanks for what they didn't tell us. Of course for the parts not confirmed by
Hasbro, we will treat as
RUMOR until they do.
During Pulse-Con
Hasbro gave us our first look at a new
Marvel Legends Knull figure which is most noted as being in
Venom comics and the
King In Black series. Hasbro told us the figure will stand around 8" tall and feature two headsculpts and his sword.
What
Hasbro didn't tell us is that this figure based on info I have seen will be released in a
2-pack. Details for the second figure have not been announced yet, but I don't think it's that difficult to figure out who it will be.
Hasbro during Pulse-Con also gave us our first look at the
Marvel Legends Vulcan figure.
Vulcan is the third Summer's brother and the figure will use a new body featuring their pin-less technology for the elbows and knees. The figure will also have butterfly joints in the shoulders. This figure will be their new go-to basic body that will over time phase out the use of the Bucky-Cap mold.
What
Hasbro didn't tell us is how the figure will be released. Based on info I have seen this figure will be part of the next
regular themed X-Men wave. We don't know what the Build-A-Figure for that wave will be, but the other figures that should be included in that wave are
Havoc, Wolverine, Sabretooth, Siryn, Darwin and
Maggott. Hasbro did tease one of
Maggott's accessories during
Pulse-Con.
During Pulse-Con
Hasbro revealed the first two figures in their
Toy Biz tribute Marvel Legends 20th Anniversary assortment. The two figures they showed were
Captain America and
Iron Man. which are now available for pre-order at places like our sponsors
BigBadToyStore.com and
EntertainmentEarth.
Since then
Hasbro has officially confirmed that
Hulk and
Toad will be the next two figures released in this assortment.
No word yet on when those figures will be shown off or go up for pre-order, but these four figures re-create the figures released in the original first wave of
Toy Biz Marvel Legends that came out in 2002.
I have seen indications there at least
8 other figures planned for this assortment that will see release throughout 2022. I have no info at this time on what specific figures those will be based on, but it sounds like
Hasbro will be randomly picking characters from the old Toy Biz releases to do. Basically don't expect them to just move on to the second wave of
Toy Biz characters after they release the figures from the first wave.
On top of celebrating the
Marvel Legends 20th Anniversary, Hasbro is also releasing an assortment of figures celebrating the
X-Men Animated Series which will be turning
30 years old in 2022. At Pule-Con they showed us the
Wolverine and
Jubilee figures followed by
Mr. Sinister which they showed off a few days later at their 1027 event.
These figures are being released as Pulse-Con/Disney Store exclusives and available for pre-order on the
Hasbro Pulse website now. The figures cost $27 each and will come in special VHS type packing. The figures also feature cell shading to give them that animated feel and feature accessories from the show.
It's not known exactly how many figures for this assortment
Hasbro has planned. The figures will see a staggered release throughout 2022 and based on the official solicitation text for this line,
Jean and
Storm will also be released at some point. Most assume we will also see the character
Morph done being he was a character basically made specifically for the animated series.
Hasbro also gave us our first look at the comic book based
D'Spayre figure.
Hasbro once again was lite on details for this one, but based on info I have seen it will be part of the upcoming
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness wave. Also not revealed by Hasbro, but I expect to see a comic book based
Sleepwalker figure released in this wave as well.
Finally
Hasbro gave us our first look at a new comic based
Marvel Legends Iron Spidey figure during their 1027 event.
Hasbro didn't provide a whole lot of details for this one, but based on info I have seen this should be one of at least
13 figures different Spider-Man themed figures
Hasbro will be releasing throughout 2022 celebrating the wall-crawlers 60th Anniversary. Spider-Man made his first appearance in
Amazing Fantasy #15 back in August 1962. The character was created by
Stan Lee and
Steve Ditko.
Of course that's not everything coming in 2022 for Marvel Legends. In fact fact this is just the tip of the iceberg from what I can tell. But this does cover everything
Hasbro mentioned during
Pulse-Con and their
1027 event.
It would be so weird if they said they could only include Eeny because they spent the money on making a new tool for that pile of bile. So "sorry guys no Meeny."

Though it would be funny to see a Build-A-Chod Wave.
Always thought the Abomination BAF from the 2016 (?) Cap wave captured Ch'od fairly well. Tweak the head sculpt, add in his signature weapon.....viola
Another crap creation of the 90s. War Machine was the best character creation of that era imo.
On 11/4/2021 at 3:10 PM, monron999 said:Yeah, I remember the discussion, but at the time we were all even wondering if we would get any maggots. Now that Hasbro has shown A maggot it almost creates more questions. Is that the ONE we are gonna get, or are there actually gonna be two of them? If there are two of them will they be different or are they just gonna be two of the same sculpt? Glad to see the clue they gave us cuz it almost looks like they knew the question was coming, now if they had the foresight to see that question coming they surely must know the next question is going to be "how many".
I'd imagine we'd get one maggot like the one they showed, in the pile of bile and another that can go in his hand or on his shoulder, I'd be shocked if we got only 1, but then again maybe they pull one of those moves were you get 1 packed in with Maggot himself, then a second one with another character just to be those j-erks.
but judging by the way the maggot was designed we will be getting this look

He will have three just to confuse us

classic Starjammers, IG & Squadron Supreme core members are all long over due & perfect to include in future X-Men & Avengers waves, sick of numerous redos of X-Men members that they've already pretty much depleted the well of when it comes to various outfits that they have worn over the decades. Make a Starjammers box set ala the Alpha Flight boxset & start sprinkling in the Imperial Guard members in X-waves, including Gladiator on the retro Herc buck with alternate head sculpt with eye slots for his laser eye beams.
On 11/4/2021 at 4:16 PM, Atlantis said:Nothing definitive was said, but I'm really hoping that for future upcoming X-Men waves we start getting the Starjammers, if not an entire Starjammers box set. I mean, seriously, this is way past due.
I wouldn't even mind if they don't use the new pinless tech. And no, none of this extra armor or alternative costume nonsense, just the core group and their classic outfits (and specialized weapons). They can even throw in Sikorski.

On 11/4/2021 at 3:11 PM, monron999 said:One of the burning questions I have and haven't seen it expressed in any of these forums (if you have, please excuse me), but yes we've been given a tease of Maggot's maggot, but are we gonna get two of them or are they gonna pull the old Infinity War Captain America double cross on us again, or are they gonna pigeon hole this character into the time after one of his maggots "died"?
I feel like they're just gonna cheap out on us and give us just one and try to play it off as the death excuse.
Edit: it's just been brought to my attention that one of his maggots did not die, rather he gave it away. Either way, it's just another convenient excuse for Hasbro and I'm betting they'll take advantage of it.
We had this conversation about 2 months ago.
