Hasbro during
San Diego Comic Con announced that they would not be offering a
Marvel Legends Haslab this year, but instead they would be experimenting with a new
Made-To-Pre-Order model with their upcoming
Marvel Legends Dragon Man figure which was said to stand 10.5" tall and have a wingspan of 17.5" wide.
Shown below are images of the prototype they had on display at San Diego Comic Con.
According to Hasbro at SDCC, the two biggest differences between this new
made-to-pre-order model and the
traditional Haslab campaign would be that there will no longer be a publicly stated minimum order number and there will be no additional stretch goals.
Dragon Man like we have seen with previous Haslabs would have a stated pre-order window time frame. In other words pre-orders for the figure would be opened for a certain period of time and if you didn't pre-order the figure during that time then you would not be able to pre-order or buy the figure at a later time unless you went to the secondary market. The figure wouldn't move into production until the pre-order campaign closed which means we probably wouldn't see the figure ship out to people until some time in 2025.
Hasbro also stated during SDCC that
Dragon Man would only be available on
HasbroPulse.
Things we still don't know about
Dragon Man is what the price will be, though I continue to speculate it will ended up costing around $100. We also don't know when the pre-orders for this figure will begin or how long the pre-order window will be open before. I suspect all those details will be revealed this coming
Friday (9/13) during the
Hasbro Pulse-Con event. I also suspect that is when the pre-orders for this figure will open up on the Pulse website.
The reason why I suspect this week is the week
Hasbro will open the pre-order for
Dragon Man is because this is around the time they would have launched their Marvel Legends Haslab if they were still doing one, and also
Dan Yun posted a random image of
Dragon Man on his social media account this weekend which I take to be a teaser that the pre-order is coming soon.
Of course when more details become available, we will be sure to let you know and we will also have full coverage of everything Marvel related revealed during Pulse-Con this coming Friday.
