I first started telling you back in
February about
Hasbro's plans for celebrating the
Marvel Legends 20th Anniversary this year. How we would be getting the initial four figures of
Captain America, Classic Iron Man, Hulk and
Toad which would come in the special
Toy Biz tribute packaging and then there would be
8 more figures released to help celebrate this momentous occasion.
In my original reporting back in
February I told you the
8 remaining figures would include the following:
- Captain America (Another One)
- War Machine
- Scorpion
- Firelord
- 6" Sentinel
- Blue Beast
- Apocalypse
- Unknown Spider-Man Item
The
Unknown Spider-Man Item at the time ended up being the
Spider-Man Retro Cardback Rhino figure. Then in
May I brought you an update to this story suggesting I was incorrect about there being a
second Captain America figure in this assortment. That instead it was looking like we would be getting some kind of
Ghost Rider figure instead.
Well it looks like my update in
May about
Ghost Rider was
INCORRECT. It looks like my initial information of there being a second version of
Captain America being released is what we are going to end up getting. I am not able to tell you which version of
Cap it will be, but I will tell you that it
WILL NOT be a new
Bucky Cap and that it's a version of
Captain America that we have never gotten in the
6" Marvel Legends line before. I will also tell you all should be revealed by the end of the month. I try my best to be as accurate as possible with these
Rumor Reports, but the reason why we do emphasize "Rumor" until officially confirmed by
Hasbro is because things can change or I can be wrong.
As for
Ghost Rider, while I feel confident in telling you that
he is not going to be part of these 8 figures, I can't say definitively we won't get any
Ghost Rider figures on
Retro Cardbacks at some point. So for now all I can say for sure on
Ghost Rider is, UNKNOWN!
The
7 other figures along with the initial
4 Toy Biz Tribute figures are currently in stock or available for pre-order at our sponsors
Entertainment Earth and
BigBadToyStore.com.

On 2/12/2022 at 11:24 AM, tarot said:Yes that is it . It just like the 80th Marvel anniversary, which celebrated Marvel as a whole not just the wwii days, the 20th xmen movie anniversary, celebrating xmen, the 10th and infinity saga.
This 20th line is celebrate Marvel legends as a whole.
I was really hoping that with the 80th anniversary, they would have made the original characters that kicked it all off from Timely. Without them there'd be no Marvel. The Sub-Mariner, original Human Torch, and Captain America. Just baffling that the golden age figures aren't done. Then there's Bucky, whose first figure was, frankly, awful, and really needs an update. And they could showcase more golden age characters like the original Vision, along with the Destroyer, Blazing Skull, Miss America, the Whizzer, and Red Raven, by doing a limited box set run on Hasbro Pulse or something like that. Baron Blood, Warrior Woman, U-Man, Tiger Man, Spit Fire....the 80th anniversary is the perfect theme to do these figures.

The thing is they better do the damn thing right and do their research. I swear if they put the damn thing on that ridiculous Sunfire buck I will loose my isht. The Reaper buck at the least or maybe even the Herc buck. He is a bit larger than Cap but the Reaper buck will work.
They wouldn't use the Sunfire buck. I think it's more likely they'll put Isaiah on the older Wolf Cap buck than anything else.

May have been their stated plan but sure hasn't been executed. Or, they're sure taking their time on it. Binary, Madame Hydra, Invisible Woman, for examples- all of them wasted opportunity. I'm especially ticked at MH because she's been wanted for a long time and desperately needed a re-do. I've said this before, but they need to revisit virtually all of the female figures; there needs to be as much articulation and body diversity as the male figures, and they need to scale properly. At any rate I too hope they get it together; an accurate buck would go a long way on your American Dream,

I just can't and won't spend any more $ on weak and incaccurate figures anymore. Its a shame because they have been doing a really great job on the faces ( yes, I know the Sue Richards was awful, but otherwise many of their female head sculpts have been fantastic...no pun intended).

Could Soldier Supreme be a possibility?
