While we aren't quit done with
Marvel Legends in 2022, I am starting to see early indications for what we can expect to see in the
first part of 2023. Now nothing I am about to share with you here should be terribly surprising, and at this time I don't have any info to share about specific figures. Also with shipping delays and movie dates still shuffling around, its hard to know how much of this will change.
So for instance in second half of 2022, at least initially I can tell you that there was a wave slated for
Black Panther containing
Wakanda Forever movie figures along with some comic based ones. There was also going to be a
Spider-Man wave for
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse movie. However now that Sony has moved the Spider-Man movie to a June 2023 release, I don't know how that will impact the release of the figures. Besides those two waves there are still a few more
Spider-Man 60th Anniversary figures and
Marvel Legends 20th Anniversary Retro Cardback figures yet to be confirmed by
Hasbro that should be coming, and then who knows how many more store specific exclusives or
HasbroPulse X-Men Animated Series figures might still be in the works. I am expecting the next
Marvel Legends reveal to be for another one of those
Marvel Legends 20th Anniversary Retro Cardback figures which I believe will happen next week.
Anyway the focus for today is a glimpse at what we should expect in early 2023. Again nothing I am about to tell you here should be terribly surprising, but it looks like things will be starting off with another
all comic book based wave. I don't know the specific theme yet, which means I don't know if it will focus on
Spider-Man or
Avengers. In the past it seems like
Hasbro always liked to start the year off with
Spider-Man, but again I don't have any specifics about this wave at this time to know for sure.
There will also be another
X-Men themed wave and a
Disney+ wave. Finally for movie themed waves we can expect a
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 wave and
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania wave. I don't yet know if these movie waves will have a mix of movie and comic figures or be all movie based. I suspect a mix, but again that is only a guess at this time.
I am sure there will be more things coming, but as I mentioned above, details for 2023 are only now just starting to come into focus.
