Did Hasbro Tease A New Marvel Legends Orb Figure During Comic-Con?

Jay Cochran - July 27, 2022

Last week during San Diego Comic Con we told you how Hasbro held some virtual Q&A sessions in their booth with Marvel Legends brand team member Dwight Stall since he wasn't able to make it out to San Diego in person. And in one of those sessions, like has become customary with the Marvel Legends team they teased an upcoming figure by showing off an accessory for it. The accessory shown which you can see below is a rather unique blaster which you can see below.

So who could this weapon belong to? Well thanks to tarot for putting together this list of possible candidates the weapon could belong to.

First we have a Trapster who is probably the most recognizable villain among the possible candidates. He has appeared in a number of titles over the years including Spider-Man, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Avengers. While his weapon of choice is similar looking to the one Dwight showed, I don't feel its close enough to be for the figure that was being teased here. I think there is a good chance we could see a Trapster figure incorporated into the line sooner or later, but just not feeling that is was was being teased here.

Next up we have a classic Ghost Rider villain who goes by the name Orb, best known for the big eyeball helmet he wears. Not only would a Ghost Rider villain seem possible since it is Ghost Rider's 50th Anniversary this year, I also think the gun he uses is the closest match to the one held up by Dwight.

The final candidate we have is named Chemistro. This Heroes For Hire Villain has had several people assume the identity. The Curtis Carr version seems to have used a weapon similar to the one Dwight held up but I still think Orb's is a closer match and seems more likely to be getting the action figure treatment. I mean who doesn't like a guy with a big eye ball for a head???

Dude in fairness, you are comparing Marvel cash cow and mascot to Ghost Rider who in all fairness is b-list at best.

Yeah I get that, obviously Marvel basically is Spider-Man, sure I know, but Ghost Rider isn't that much of a Slouch himself in terms of popularity, he did have 2 movies with Nic Cage, I don't think it seems to much to ask if we can just get 1 wave or at least 4 fan channel figures...just something, rather then a HasLab of like most people's least known and newest Ghost Rider? it's is Anniversary an all...and he did well for Marvel, he's not a unknown, bet you show someone a guy with a flame skull on a wicked bike people know what they are looking at. he's more like A- List or B+ List tier.

If they only give us HasSlab for Ghosty's Anniversary, I'm going to yell at puppies for a week, you can give us everysingle version of Spider-Man ever in the span of 1 year for his anniversary, but can't even give us a full wave for Ghosty? that's just disservice, this is Ghost Rider's chance to get some goods no better time then the Anniversary, but watch they give us some 1 thing and it's not even what we want, and have to wait 89 years for them to just make a new Johnny Blaze figure.

Yeah ditto, Dan is likely my most wanted Marvel Legend right now, and Until we get him, it still will be. How do we not have a Dan Ketch Ghost Rider?

It seems that Marvel only care about Johnny and Robbie

Yeah really hoping we get a Ghost Rider wave, and hope this is a little indication we might.
Ghost Rider and his supporting characters are highly under represented so far in the Legends Line.

I just really want Dan Ketch and his bike
